Exhibit 31

     CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002


    I, Robert N. Weingarten, certify that:

1.  I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB of Aries Ventures Inc.
    (the "Company") for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005;

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 Company
    as of, and for, the periods presented in this 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)) for
    the Company 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
          Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to me
          by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
          which this report is being prepared;

        b. Evaluated the effectiveness of the Company'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

        c. Disclosed in this report any change in the Company's internal control
          over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's most
          recent fiscal quarter (the Company's fourth fiscal quarter in the case
          of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably
          likely to materially affect, the Company'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 Company's auditors and the audit committee
    of the Company'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 Company'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 Company's internal
          controls over financial reporting.
