 I,
        Thomas
        H. Hanna, Jr., Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer
        of Eastern
        Resources, Inc. ,
        certify
        that:
 
 1.  I
        have
        reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended
        June
        30, 2008 of Eastern
        Resources, Inc. ;
 
 2.  Based
        on
        my knowledge, the quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement
        of
        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 quarterly
        report;
 
 3.  Based
        on
        my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included
        in this quarterly 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 quarterly report;
 
 4.  I
        am
        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 registrant and have:
 
 (a)  Designed
        such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls
        and
        procedures to be designed under my supervision, to ensure that material
        information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries,
        is made known to me by others within those entities, particularly during
        the
        period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;
 
 (b)  Designed
        such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control
        over financial reporting to be designed under my 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 registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures; and
        presented in this report my 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 registrant’s internal control over financial
        reporting that occurred during the registrant’s 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.  I
        have
        disclosed, based on my 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 the equivalent
        function):
 
 (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 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 controls.
