Exhibit 31

                                  CERTIFICATION


    I, Robert N. Weingarten, certify that:

1.  I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Aries Ventures 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 small
    business issuer 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 small business issuer 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 small
          business issuer, 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 small business issuer'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 small business issuer's
          internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
          small business issuer's most recent fiscal quarter (the small business
          issuer's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that
          has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
          the small business issuer'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 small business issuer's auditors and the
    audit committee of the small business issuer'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 small business issuer'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 small business
          issuer's internal controls over financial reporting.
