Re: Opinion of Counsel - Registration Statement on Form S-8

Gentleman:

     I have acted as counsel 21st Century Technologies,  Inc (the "Company"), in
connection  with  the  preparation  and  filing  of the  Company's  Registration
Statement  on Form S-8  under  the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended,  (the
"Registration Statement"), relating to 12,000,000 shares of the Company's common
stock, .001 par value, (the "Common Stock"),  issuable pursuant to the Company's
Advisory and Consultants Agreement, (the "Plan").

     I have  examined the  Certificate  of  Incorporation,  as amended,  and the
By-Laws of the Company and all amendments  thereto,  the Registration  Statement
and  originals,  or copies  certified  to my  satisfaction,  of such records and
meetings,  written  actions  in lieu of  meetings,  or  resolutions  adopted  at
meetings,  of the  directors  of the  Company,  and  such  other  documents  and
instruments  as in my judgment  are  necessary  or  appropriate  to enable me to
render the opinions expressed below.

     Based on the foregoing examination,  I am of the opinion that the shares of
Common Stock  issuable  with the Plan are duly  authorized  and,  when issued in
accordance with the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     Further,  I consent  to the  filing of this  opinion  as an  exhibit to the
Registration Statement.


Very truly yours,


/s/ JESSE CORTEZ
