EXHIBIT 31.1


                                 CERTIFICATIONS


I, Andrew Aird, certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report of River Exploration, Inc.;

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 included in this report, fairly present in all material
     respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
     the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.   The registrant'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 the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d
     - 15(f)) for the registrant and have:

     a)   Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
          controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to
          ensure that material information relating to the registrant, 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 controls and procedures, or caused such
          disclosure controls and procedures 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;

     c)   Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrants 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 covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

     d)   Disclosed in this report any change in the registrants internal
          control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrants
          most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
          reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
          control over financial reporting; and

5.   The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on
     our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to
     the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of registrant's board of
     directors (or persons performing equivalent functions):

     a)   All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
          operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are
          reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant'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 registrant's internal
          control over financial reporting.
