I, MICHAEL CYTRYNBAUM, certify that:

         1.       I have reviewed the annual report on Form 20-F of CENTRAL
                  MINERA CORP.;
         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 respect the financial condition, results of
                  operations and cash flows of the company as of, and for, the
                  periods presented in this report.
         4.       The company'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 company 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 company, 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 company'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 evaluations; and
                  (c)  Disclosed in this report any change in the company's
                       internal control over financial reporting that occurred
                       during the period covered by the annual report that has
                       materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
                       materially affect, the company's internal control over
                       financial reporting; and
         5.       The company's other certifying officer(s) and I have
                  disclosed, based on our 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:
                  (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 control over financial
                       reporting.
