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 the 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.
