  I,
        Robert
        M. Shields, Jr. certify that:
  1.         I
        have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended
        September 30, 2007 of Piedmont Mining Company, 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.         The
        small business issuer’s other certifying officer(s) 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 small business issuer
        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 small business issuer, 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)        Omitted;
  (c)        Evaluated
        the effectiveness of the small business issuer’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
  (d) 
              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.         The
        small business issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based
        on our 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 control over financial reporting.

 *The
        introductory portion of paragraph 4 of the Section 302 certification that
        refers
        to the certifying officers’ responsibility for establishing and maintaining
        internal control over financial reporting for the company, as well as paragraph
        4(b), have been omitted in accordance with Release No. 33-8760 (December
        15,
        2006) because the compliance period has been extended for small business
        issuers
        until the first fiscal year ending on or after December 15, 2007.
