Principal Executive Officer & Principal Financial Officer

I, Douglas W. Scheving, certify that:

|1. | I have reviewed this quarterly report of Electrum
        Mining Limited;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|  
|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))
        for the registrant 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 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) | evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant'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 covered by this report based on such evaluation;
        and                                                                                                               
|
| | c) | 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 (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in
        the case of an quarterly report) 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 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 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.
