I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of
Shoshone Silver/Gold Mining Company; |
2. |
Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any

4. |
The registrant’s other certifying officers 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)) and internal control
over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f)) for the registrant 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
registrant, 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) |
Designed such internal control over
financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting
to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding

statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles; |
|
(c) |
Evaluated the effectiveness of the
registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report

Disclosed in this report any change in the
registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the

in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial
reporting; and |
5. |
The registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed,
based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the
registrant’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 registrant’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 registrant’s internal
control over financial reporting. |
