                        CERTIFICATION OF PERIODIC REPORT

I,  Paul  H.  Metzinger,  certify  that:

     1.   I  have  reviewed  this  quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of NanoPierce
          Technologies, 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

          presented in this report;

     4.   The  small  business  issuer'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 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.   [Paragraph  omitted  in  accordance  with  SEC  transition

               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 4th 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  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.
