I, Mark Schaftlein, certify that:





1.     I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Crownbutte Wind Power, Inc. (the small business issuer);





2.     Based on my knowledge, this annual 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 annual  report;  and





3.     Based  on  my knowledge, the financial  statements,  and other financial information included in this annual report,  fairly  present in all material  respects  the financial  position,  results of operations,  and  cash flows  of  the  issuer  as of,  and  for,  the  periods presented in this annual report.




4.     The registrant’s other certifying officer(s) 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 small business issuer 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 small business issuer, 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 internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

5.    The registrant’s other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the small business issuer’s auditors and the audit committee of the small business issuer’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 small business issuer’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 small business issuer’s internal control over financial reporting.
