CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 302 OF THE
SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002
I, Roger
Wurtele, certify
that:
1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Torchlight
Energy Resources, Inc. for the period ended September 30,
2018;
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 registrant as of, and for, the
periods presented in this report;
4. The registrant’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)) 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
small business issuer, including its consolidated
subsidiary, 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 the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial 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 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 registrant's internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's fourth
quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the registrant's internal control over the
financial reporting; and
5. 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.
