    I have reviewed this Annual Report on
Form 20-F of Anooraq Resources Corporation;2.
    
    Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light
of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect
to the period covered by this report;3.
    
    Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information

condition, results of operations and cash flows of the company as of, and for, the
periods presented in this report;4.
    
    The companys other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and
maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the company and
have:
 (a)
    
    Designed such disclosure controls and
procedures, or caused such disclosure
controls and procedures to be designed
under our supervision, to ensure that
material information relating to the
company, including its consolidated
subsidiaries, is made known to us by
others within those entities,
particularly during the period in which
this report is being prepared;(b)
    
    Designed such internal control over
financial reporting, or caused such

assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles;(c)
    
    Evaluated the effectiveness of the
companys disclosure controls and
procedures and presented in this report
our conclusions about the effectiveness
of the disclosure controls and
procedures, as of the end of the period

evaluation; and(d)
    
    Disclosed in this report any change in
the companys internal control over

 5.
    
    The companys other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent
evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the companys auditors and
the audit committee of companys board of directors (or persons performing the
equivalent functions):
 (a)
    
    All significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses in the design or
operation of internal control over
financial reporting which are reasonably
likely to adversely affect the companys
ability to record, process, summarize
and report financial information; and(b)
    
    Any fraud, whether or not material, that
involves management or other employees
who have a significant role in the
companys internal control over
financial reporting.
