DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


Business Development


We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties with a view to exploiting any mineral deposits we discover.


We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on February 9, 2007 as Atlantic Resources, Inc. On April 11, 2012, we filed Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State to change the name of our company to Patriot Minefinders Inc., to be effected by way of a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary Patriot Minefinders Inc. which was created solely for the name change.


Effective April 19, 2012, in accordance with approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), we changed our name from Atlantic Resources Inc. to Patriot Minefinders Inc. In addition, we effected a forward split of our authorized and issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a 24 new for 1 old basis such that, our authorized capital increased from 70,000,000 to 1,680,000,000 shares of common stock and correspondingly, our issued and outstanding shares of common stock increased from 4,700,000 to 112,800,000 shares of common stock, all with a par value of $0.001.


The name change and forward split became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening of trading on April 19, 2012. Our new CUSIP number is 70338F102.


The Option Agreement shall terminate upon any failure by our Company to timely fulfill any payment obligations under the agreement. We may additionally terminate the agreement at any time with 30 days notice to San Marco Resources Ltd. (San Marco).


Effective June 1, 2012, our stock symbol changed from AARI to PROF to better reflect the new name of our company. The symbol change became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening of trading on June 1, 2012 under the new stock symbol PROF.


On June 19, 2012 our board of directors approved the cancellation and the sale of a portion of 72,000,000 post-split shares held by a former director, officer and majority shareholder of the Company. Effective June 19, 2012, the shareholder cancelled and returned to treasury 52,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock and sold an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares to the directors of the Company at the price of $0.0014 per share. The shareholder currently holds the balance of 17,000,000 shares of our common stock. Following the cancellation, there are 61,800,000 shares of our common stock outstanding.


Previous Business


Vic Vein Mining Claim


On April 18th, 2007 we entered into a Mineral Property Staking and Purchase Agreement with 1698727 Ontario Inc. whereby we purchased a 100% interest in the Vic Vein mining claim, which is located approximately 250 kilometers west of Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada, for $7,500.00. However, we no longer own any rights to the claim as it lapsed on October 6, 2010 and we no longer own any rights in relation to the property.


4


Current Business


Subsequently, we identified an opportunity with respect to the option to acquire a 50% interest in the La Buena Project from San Marco. On May 17, 2012, we entered into an Assignment Agreement with Skanderbeg to acquire an option to purchase the La Buena Project. We now plan to undertake exploration of the La Buena Project. Further details on our property and our exploration plans can be found in the section titled Item 2. Properties.


Market, Customers and Distribution Methods


Although there can be no assurance, large and well capitalized markets are readily available for all minerals throughout the world. A very sophisticated futures market for the pricing and delivery of future production also exists. The price for minerals is affected by a number of global factors, including economic strength and resultant demand for minerals for production, fluctuating supplies, mining activities and production by others in the industry, and new and or reduced uses for subject minerals.


The mineral exploration industry is highly speculative. As such, it involves a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Few mineral exploration projects actually become operating mines.


The mining industry is subject to a number of factors, including intense industry competition, high susceptibility to economic conditions (such as price of minerals, foreign currency exchange rates, and capital and operating costs), and political conditions (which could affect such things as import and export regulations, foreign ownership restrictions). Furthermore, the mining activities are subject to all hazards incidental to mineral exploration, development and production, as well as risk of damage from earthquakes, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to or loss of property and equipment and possible environmental damage. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations and other conditions are also involved in mineral exploration and development.


Competition


The mineral exploration industry is highly competitive. We are a new exploration stage company and have a weak competitive position in the industry. We compete with junior and senior mineral exploration companies, independent producers and institutional and individual investors who are actively seeking to acquire mineral exploration properties throughout the world together with the equipment, labor and materials required to operate on those properties. Competition for the acquisition of mineral exploration interests is intense with many mineral exploration leases or concessions available in a competitive bidding process in which we may lack the financial, technological information or expertise available to other bidders.


Many of the mineral exploration companies with which we compete for financing and for the acquisition of mineral exploration properties have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquiring mineral exploration interests of merit or on exploring or developing their mineral exploration properties. This advantage could enable our competitors to acquire mineral exploration properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may choose to finance their additional exploration and development. Such competition could adversely impact our ability to attain the financing necessary for us to acquire further mineral exploration interests or explore and develop our current or future mineral exploration properties.  We also compete with other junior mineral exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to invest in such companies. The presence of competing junior mineral exploration companies may impact our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our acquisition or exploration programs if investors perceive that investments in our competitors are more attractive based on the merit of their mineral exploration properties or the price of the investment opportunity.


5


In addition, we compete with both junior and senior mineral exploration companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional geologists, land specialists, engineers, camp staff, helicopters, float planes, mineral exploration supplies and drill rigs.


General competitive conditions may be substantially affected by various forms of energy legislation and/or regulation introduced from time to time by the governments of the United States and other countries, as well as factors beyond our control, including international political conditions, overall levels of supply and demand for mineral exploration.


In the face of competition, we may not be successful in acquiring, exploring or developing profitable mineral properties or interests, and we cannot give any assurance that suitable mineral properties or interests will be available for our acquisition, exploration or development. Despite this, we hope to compete successfully in the mineral exploration industry by:


·

keeping our costs low;

·

relying on the strength of our managements contacts; and

·

using our size and experience to our advantage by adapting quickly to changing market conditions or responding swiftly to potential opportunities.


Intellectual Property


We have established a website and maintain its domain, www.patriotminefinders.com. We own or license copyright in all materials contained in our website. We also claim common law trademark rights in our corporate name and logo. We do not hold any registered copyright, trademark, patent or other intellectual property right.


Research and Development


We did not incur any research and development expenses during the period from February 9, 2007 (inception) to our fiscal period ended July 31, 2012.


Reports to Security Holders


We are subject to the reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act and we intend to furnish our shareholders annual reports containing financial statements audited by our independent registered public accounting firm and to make available quarterly reports containing unaudited financial statements for each of the first three quarters of each year. We file Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Current Reports on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to meet our timely and continuous disclosure requirements. We may also file additional documents with the Commission if they become necessary in the course of our companys operations.


The public may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The address of that site is www.sec.gov


Government Regulations


Any operations on the La Buena Project will be subject to various Federal and State laws and regulations in Mexico which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters.


6


We will be required to obtain those licenses, permits or other authorizations currently required to conduct exploration and other programs. There are no current orders or directions relating to us or the La Buena Project with respect to the foregoing laws and regulations.


Such compliance may include feasibility studies on the surface impact of our proposed operations, costs associated with minimizing surface impact, water treatment and protection, reclamation activities, including rehabilitation of various sites, on-going efforts at alleviating the mining impact on wildlife and permits or bonds as may be required to ensure our compliance with applicable regulations. It is possible that the costs and delays associated with such compliance could become so prohibitive that we may decide to not proceed with exploration, development, or mining operations on our mineral property. We are not presently aware of any specific material environmental constraints affecting our property that would preclude the economic development or operation of property in Mexico.


Environmental Regulations


We are not aware of any material violations of environmental permits, licenses or approvals that have been issued with respect to our operations. We expect to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to our business, and at this time, we do not anticipate incurring any material capital expenditures to comply with any environmental regulations or other requirements.


While our intended projects and business activities do not currently violate any laws, any regulatory changes that impose additional restrictions or requirements on us or on our potential customers could adversely affect us by increasing our operating costs or decreasing demand for our products or services, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.


Employees


We have commenced only limited operations; therefore, we have no full-time employees. Our officers and directors provide services to us on an as-needed basis. When we commence full operations, we will need to establish full-time management and administrative support staff. Our company intends to contract-out many of these functions.


Item 1A.

Risk Factors


Risks Related To Our Business


Because our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, there is substantial uncertainty we will continue operations in which case you could lose your investment.


Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next 12 months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue in business. As such we may have to cease operations and you could lose your investment.


Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating significant revenues. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating significant revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues which are greater than our expenses will cause you to lose your investment.


7


We have a limited operating history with significant losses and expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future.


We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. We have incurred net losses of $152,402 as at July 31, 2012.  As a result, at July 31, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $229,781 and total stockholders deficit of $180,581. We have not generated any revenues since our inception and do not anticipate that we will generate revenues which will be sufficient to sustain our operations.


We expect that our revenues will not be sufficient to sustain our operations for the foreseeable future. Our profitability will require the successful commercialization of our mining property. We may not be able to successfully commercialize our mines or ever become profitable.


We may not be able to secure additional financing to meet our future capital needs due to changes in general economic conditions.


We anticipate needing significant capital to conduct further exploration of our optioned property and, if advisable, to acquire a 50% interest in our optioned property and commercially develops the property. We may use capital more rapidly than currently anticipated and incur higher operating expenses than currently expected, and we may be required to depend on external financing to satisfy our operating and capital needs. We may need new or additional financing in the future to conduct our operations or expand our business. Any sustained weakness in the general economic conditions and/or financial markets in the United States or globally could adversely affect our ability to raise capital on favorable terms or at all.


From time to time we have relied, and may also rely in the future, on access to financial markets as a source of liquidity to satisfy working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes. We may be unable to secure debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all, at the time when we need such funding. If we do raise funds by issuing additional equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership percentages of existing stockholders would be reduced, and the securities that we issue may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock or may be issued at a discount to the market price of our common stock which would result in dilution to our existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to debt covenants, which could place limitations on our operations including our ability to declare and pay dividends. Our inability to raise additional funds on a timely basis would make it difficult for us to achieve our business objectives and would have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


We may not have access to the supplies and materials needed for exploration, which could cause delays or suspension of our operations.


Competitive demands for contractors and unforeseen shortages of supplies and/or equipment could result in the disruption of planned exploration activities. Current demand for exploration drilling services, equipment and supplies is robust and could result in suitable equipment and skilled manpower being unavailable at scheduled times in our exploration programs. Furthermore, fuel prices are rising. We will attempt to locate suitable equipment, materials, manpower and fuel if sufficient funds are available. If we cannot find the equipment and supplies needed for our various exploration programs, we may have to suspend some or all of them until equipment, supplies, funds and/or skilled manpower can be obtained.


8


Attraction and retention of qualified personnel is necessary to implement and conduct our mineral exploration programs.


Our future success will depend largely upon the continued services of our Board members, executive officers and other key personnel. Our success will also depend on our ability to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel with mining experience. Key personnel represent a significant asset for us, and the competition for qualified personnel is intense in the mineral exploration industry.


We may have particular difficulty attracting and retaining key personnel in the initial phases of our exploration programs. We do not have key-person life insurance coverage on any of our personnel. The loss of one or more of our key people or our inability to attract, retain and motivate other qualified personnel could negatively impact our ability to complete our exploration programs.


Risks Associated with Option Agreements


Pursuant to the Option Agreement with San Marco, we are required to incur aggregate exploration expenditures of $6,000,000, with $1,000,000 to be incurred by December 31, 2012, $500,000 to be incurred by December 31, 2013, and the balance of $4,500,000 to be incurred by December 31, 2014. We do not currently have enough funds to meet our investment obligations for any of the claims.


We have little cash on hand, no financing arrangements and no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to close any financing and if we do close any financings, there can be no assurance that they will be sufficient to meet our needs for the upcoming 12 months. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt instruments. We expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.


We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding; however, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. We have and will continue to seek to obtain short-term loans from our directors, although no future arrangement for additional loans has been made. We do not have any agreements with our directors concerning these loans. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing. If we are unable to meet our obligations for the claims subject to the Option with San Marco, then we will lose our interest in such claims and our business will fail.


There is no assurance that we can formally establish the existence of any mineral reserve on our property. Until we are able to establish a mineral reserve, there can be no assurance that production from the property will continue for any period of time and if production fails, our business may ultimately fail.


Our property has never been subject to formal reserves estimation through scientific exploration techniques. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we can formally establish the existence of any mineral reserve on our property. A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7 (which can be viewed over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/forms/industry.htm#secguide7) as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination.


9


The probability of an individual prospect ever having a "reserve" that meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Industry Guide 7 is remote. If our current or future mineral resource property contains any "reserve," any funds that we spend on exploration will be lost.


Even if we discover a mineral reserve, there can be no assurance that the related property will be developed.


Even if we eventually discover a mineral reserve on our property, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop the property into producing mines. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.


The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a power, roads and water for processing, government regulation and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable.


Mineral operations are subject to applicable law and government regulation. Even if we discover a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, these laws and regulations could restrict or prohibit the exploitation of that mineral resource. If we cannot exploit any mineral resource that it might discover on the property, the business may fail.


Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits from various foreign, federal, state, and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations, including those with respect to prospecting, mine development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the continued exploration of our mineral property or for the construction and operation of a mine on our property at economically viable costs. If we cannot accomplish these objectives, our business could fail.


We believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and regulations that currently apply to our activities but there can be no assurance that we can continue to do so. Current laws and regulations could be amended and we might not be able to comply with them, as amended.


Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our future operations, or that it will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms. To the extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our mineral property.


In addition, environmental hazards unknown to us, which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the Property, may exist on the property in which we hold an interest. Even if we relinquish our licenses, we will still remain responsible for any required reclamation and rehabilitation of the property.


Mineral exploration and development are subject to extraordinary operating risks. We do not currently insure against these risks. In the event of a cave-in or similar occurrence, our liability may exceed our resources, which would have an adverse impact on our operations.


Mineral exploration, development and production involve many risks which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved.


10


Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks inherent in the exploration, development and production of resources, including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot insure against or which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could result in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the environment. We do not currently maintain any insurance coverage against these operating hazards. The payment of any liabilities that arise from any such occurrence would have a material, adverse impact on our operations.


Mineral prices are subject to dramatic and unpredictable fluctuations.


We plan to derive revenues from the extraction and sale of minerals. The prices of this commodity have fluctuated widely in recent years, and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of diamonds and, therefore, the economic viability of any of our projects, cannot accurately be predicted.


The mining industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will continue to be successful in acquiring mineral claims. If we cannot continue to acquire properties to explore for mineral resources, it may be required to reduce or cease operations.


The mineral exploration, development, and production industry is largely un-integrated. We compete with other exploration companies looking for mineral resource properties and the resources that can be produced from them. However, the mining business operates in a worldwide market, and prices for minerals are derived from relatively pure market forces.


We compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities. This competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration in the future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will acquire any interest in additional mineral resource properties that might yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations.


Our property is located in Mexico and our operations there may be affected by varying degrees of political and economic uncertainties.


Our property is located in Mexico, and mineral exploration and mining activities in this country may be affected in varying degrees by political stability and economic uncertainties. Operations also may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, repatriation of profits, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriations or property, environmental legislation and mine safety.


Risks Related to Ownership of our Securities


Our stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our shareholders.


The stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations, and the market prices of companies listed on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board quotation system in which shares of our common stock are listed, have been volatile in the past and have experienced sharp share price and trading volume changes. The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to many factors, including the following, some of which are beyond our control:


11



·

variations in our operating results;

·

changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;

·

changes in operating and stock price performance of other companies in our industry;

·

additions or departures of key personnel; and

·

future sales of our common stock.


Domestic and international stock markets often experience significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions unrelated to our performance, may adversely affect the price of our common stock.


Our common shares may become thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices, or at all.


We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for trading our common stock will be sustained. Our common shares trading volume has historically been sporadically or thinly-traded, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at certain given time may be relatively small or non-existent.


This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community who generate or influence sales volume. Even if we came to the attention of such persons, those persons tend to be risk-averse and may be reluctant to follow, purchase, or recommend the purchase of shares of an unproven company such as ours until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.


The market price for our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively small company, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.


Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.


Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.


12


We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to our common shareholders.


We presently do not anticipate that we will pay dividends on any of our common stock in the foreseeable future. If payment of dividends does occur at some point in the future, it would be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The payment of any common stock dividends will be within the discretion of our Board of Directors. We presently intend to retain all earnings after paying the interest for the preferred stock, if any, to implement our business plan; accordingly, we do not anticipate the declaration of any dividends for common stock in the foreseeable future.


If we are currently listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board quotation system and our common stock is subject to penny stock rules which could negatively impact our liquidity and our shareholders ability to sell their shares.


Our common stock is currently quoted on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board. We must comply with numerous rules in order to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board. There can be no assurance that we can continue to meet the requirements to maintain the quotation on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board listing of our common stock. If we are unable to maintain our listing on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board, the market liquidity of our common stock may be severely limited.


Volatility in our common share price may be subject to US Securities Litigation.


The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility as compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of our securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management's attention and resources.


The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights of our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.


Our articles of incorporation do not contain any specific provisions that eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our company and shareholders; however, we are prepared to give such indemnification to our directors and officers to the extent provided for by Nevada law. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our employment agreements with our officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and shareholders.


We may need additional capital, and the sale of additional shares or other equity securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders.


In the future, we may require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence


13


of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.


Our business is subject to changing regulations related to corporate governance and public disclosure that have increased both our costs and the risk of noncompliance.


Because our common stock is publicly traded, we are subject to certain rules and regulations of federal, state and financial market exchange entities charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded. These entities, including the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the SEC and FINRA, have issued requirements and regulations and continue to develop additional regulations and requirements in response to corporate scandals and laws enacted by Congress, most notably the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our efforts to comply with these regulations have resulted in, and are likely to continue resulting in, increased general and administrative expenses and diversion of management time and attention from revenue-


generating activities to compliance activities. Because new and modified laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This evolution may result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and additional costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to our disclosure and governance practices.


We will incur increased costs and compliance risks as a result of becoming a public company.


As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. We will incur costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. We also anticipate that we will incur costs associated with recently adopted corporate governance requirements, including certain requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules implemented by the SEC and FINRA. We expect these rules and regulations, in particular Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. Like many smaller public companies, we face a significant impact from required compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires management of public companies to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and the independent auditors to attest to the effectiveness of such internal controls and the evaluation performed by management. The SEC has adopted rules implementing Section 404 for public companies as well as disclosure requirements. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, has adopted documentation and attestation standards that the independent auditors must follow in conducting its attestation under Section 404. We are currently preparing for compliance with Section 404; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively meet all of the requirements of Section 404 as currently known to us in the currently mandated timeframe. Any failure to implement effectively new or improved internal controls, or to resolve difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet reporting obligations or result in management being required to give a qualified assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or our independent auditors providing an adverse opinion regarding managements assessment. Any such result could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.


We also expect these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers.


We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

History of Operations


The State of Zacatecas, Mexico was founded in 1546 after the discovery of silver vein systems; although, it likely experienced some pre-Hispanic mining. Within a century afterwards, Zacatecas became Mexicos largest silver producer, and the city was the second largest in the country after Mexico City. As with many other mining


17


districts in Mexico, production ceased during the Mexican Revolution of 1910 to 1917 but resumed in some areas by about 1936. Historic silver production estimates exceed 1.5 billion ounces from the State, and 750 million ounces from the Zacatecas district.


The Mesa Central region of Zacatecas State has experienced many periods of exploration and mining since the Spaniards. Recent exploration activity led to the discovery, exploration and development of the Peñasquito gold-silver-lead-zinc mine and nearby Noche Buena project, both owned and operated by Goldcorp Inc. The Peñasquito property has two main deposits, called Peñasco and Chile Colorado that are being mined by open pit.


The La Buena property was acquired by San Marco shortly after the discovery and initial exploration of the nearby Camino Rojo gold-silver deposit by Canplats Resources Corporation in 2007. There have undoubtedly been periods of historic to recent exploration and artisanal mining throughout this area but any work prior to San Marcos acquisition of the property is undocumented.


Present Condition

San Marco currently has an environmental drill permit to construct new access roads and drill sites and drill within the Julia Ridge zone of the Property. Any future road construction, trenching and/or drilling elsewhere on the Property will require appropriate exploration permits and reclamation commitments for such work.


Plan of Exploration

In an Executive Summary of the property prepared by Minorex Consulting Ltd. for San Marco with respect to the La Buena Project related to the Julia and San Lucas Ridge zones, Minorex Consulting Ltd. recommended that six diamond drill holes be drilled to initially test both the Julia and San Lucas Ridge zones. Three holes would be directed at the buried chargeability anomaly on the Julia zone and the other three holes would be directed at the low resistivity anomalies on the San Lucas zone. It is estimated that this 2,000 metres of drilling plus later documentation would cost US $400,000.


At the present time, San Marco, as operator of the Property, proposes the following exploration plan which is dependent upon the availability of adequate financing:

Julia Zone Plan of Exploration


Based upon the 2011 geophysical and geochemical results, three diamond drill holes are proposed to initially test the chargeability (the capacity for material to hold an electrical charge) and resistivity (the capacity for material to resist an electrical charge) of the minerals that are situated directly beneath the gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly corresponding with the hornfelsed Caracol Formation metasedimentary rocks intruded by hydrothermally-altered granitic intrusions. The three proposed drill holes would be separated and inclined along the northeasterly trend of the geophysical anomaly to better test its extent.

The above illustration, after Witter and Rastad (2011), shows the Julia zone looking eastward with the green ovoid body being the chargeability high and the high magnetics shown in purple. The chargeability anomaly appears to be reflecting a sulphide-rich zone or cupola above a buried granitic stock with magnetic diatremes extending upward from the periphery of the stock. The traces of the proposed drill hole are shown with DDH # 2 on the right, DDH #1 in the centre and DDH # 3 to the left. The pertinent data for these proposed diamond drill holes are as follows.

San Lucas Ridge Zone Plan of Exploration


Three diamond drill holes are proposed to testthe coincidental geological, geochemical and geophysical anomalies of the San Lucas Ridge zone. The primary target is the buried low resistivity anomaly beneath the folded, high resistivity carbonate rocks. The proposed collars for two of the drill holes (#4 and #6) lie on the southern flank of San Lucas ridge and directed to the north targeting low resistivity anomalies. The proposed collar for drill hole #5 is located on the north flank of the ridge and directed to the southwest, also targeting a low resistivity anomaly.


The following illustration, modified after Witter and Rastad (2011), shows the three proposed drill holes penetrating the near surface, high resistivity carapace (shown in red) to intersect the low resistivity (blue) and flanking moderate chargeability anomalies (green).

Geology

Index of Geologic Terms

Term

Definition

Argillic facies

The argillic facies comprises the propylitic, montmorillonitic, and kaolinitic types, and the phyllic facies the muscovitic and biotitic types. Generally each type of alteration characterizes a subzone of alteration that bears consistent relationships to neighboring zones and to a presumed source of heat and altering fluids. These relationships also are in full accord with the inferred physical-chemical requirements of the corresponding facies.

Anticlinal

An anticline is a fold that is convex up and has its oldest beds at its core.

Calcalkaline

The diverse rock types in the calcalkaline series include volcanic types such as basalt, andesite, dacite, rhyolite, and also their coarser-grained intrusive equivalents (gabbro, diorite, granodiorite, and granite). They do not include silica-undersaturated, alkalic, or peralkaline rocks.

Term

Definition

Calcareous

Calcareous is an adjective meaning mostly or partly composed of calcium carbonate, in other words, containing lime or being chalky.

Carbonaceous

Carbonaceous is the defining attribute of a substance rich in carbon. Particularly, carbonaceous hydrocarbons are very unsaturated, high-molecular-weight hydrocarbons, having an elevated carbon:hydrogen ratio.

Laramide orogeny

The Laramide orogeny was a period of mountain building in western North America, which started in the Late Cretaceous, 70 to 80 million years ago, and ended 35 to 55 million years ago. The major feature that was created by this orogeny was deep-seated, thick-skinned deformation, with evidence of this orogeny found from Canada to northern Mexico, with the easternmost extent of the mountain-building.

Cretaceous-age

The Cretaceous, derived from the Latin "creta" (chalk), is a geologic period and system from circa 145.5 to 65.5 million years ago. In the geologic timescale, the Cretaceous follows the Jurassic period and is followed by the Paleogene period of the Cenozoic era. In many languages this period is known as "chalk period".

Flysch

Flysch is a sequence of sedimentary rocks that is deposited in a deep marine facies in the foreland basin of a developing orogen. Flysch is typically deposited during an early stage of the orogenesis. When the orogen evolves the foreland basin becomes shallower and molasse is deposited on top of the flysch. It is therefore called a syn-orogenic sediment (deposited contemporaneously with mountain building).

Geosyncline

A subsiding linear trough that was caused by the accumulation of sedimentary rock strata deposited in a basin and subsequently compressed, deformed, and uplifted into a mountain range, with attendant volcanism and plutonism.

Granodioritic

An intrusive igneous rock similar to granite, but containing more plagioclase than orthoclase-type feldspar. Officially, it is defined as a phaneritic igneous rock with greater than 20% quartz by volume where at least 65% of the feldspar is plagioclase.

Hornfels

Hornfels is the group designation for a series of contact metamorphic rocks that have been baked and indurated by the heat of intrusive igneous masses and have been rendered massive, hard, splintery, and in some cases exceedingly tough and durable. The most common hornfels (the biotite hornfelses) are dark-brown to black with a somewhat velvety luster owing to the abundance of small crystals of shining black mica.

Jurassic

The Jurassic is a geologic period and system that extends from about 199.6 to 145.5 million years ago, that is, from the end of the Triassic to the beginning of the Cretaceous. The Jurassic constitutes the middle period of the Mesozoic era, also known as the age of reptiles. The start of the period is marked by the major TriassicJurassic extinction event. However, the end of the period did not witness any major extinction event. The Jurassic is named after the Jura Mountains within the European Alps, where limestone strata from the period was first identified.

Limestone

Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate. Many limestones are composed from skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral or foraminifera.

Magnetite

Magnetite is a ferrimagnetic mineral, one of several iron oxides and a member of the spinel group. Magnetite is the most magnetic of all the naturally occurring minerals on Earth.

Metasediment

Metasediment is sediment or sedimentary rock that shows evidence of having been subjected to metamorphism. The overall composition of a metasediment can be used to identify the original sedimentary rock, even where they have been subject to high-grade metamorphism and intense deformation.

Metasomatized

Metasomatism is the chemical alteration of a rock by hydrothermal and other fluids.

Mesozoic

The Mesozoic Era is an interval of geological time from about 250 to 65 million years ago. It is often referred to as the Age of Reptiles because reptiles, namely dinosaurs, were the dominant terrestrial and marine vertebrates of the time. The era began in the wake of the Permian-Triassic event, the largest mass extinction in Earth's history, and ended with the CretaceousPaleogene extinction event, another mass extinction which is known for having killed off non-avian dinosaurs, as well as other plant and animal species. The Mesozoic was a time of significant tectonic, climate and evolutionary activity. The era witnessed the gradual rifting of the supercontinent Pangaea into separate landmasses that would eventually move into their current positions.

Definition

Monzonitic

Monzonite is an intermediate igneous intrusive rock composed of approximately equal amounts of sodic to intermediate plagioclase and orthoclase feldspars with minor amounts of hornblende, biotite and other minerals. Quartz a minor constituent or is absent; with greater than 5% quartz the rock is termed a quartz monzonite

Mudstone

Mudstone is a fine grained sedimentary rock whose original constituents were clays or muds. Grain size is up to 0.0625 mm (0.0025 in) with individual grains too small to be distinguished without a microscope. Mud rocks, such as mudstone and shale comprise some 65% of all sedimentary rocks. Mudstone looks like hardened clay and, depending upon circumstances under which it was formed, it may show cracks or fissures, like a sun-baked clay deposit.

Sandstone

Sandstone (sometimes known as arenite) is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized minerals or rock grains. Most sandstone is composed of quartz and/or feldspar because these are the most common minerals in the Earth's crust.

Siltstone

Siltstone is a clastic sedimentary rock. As its name implies, it is primarily composed of silt sized particles. Siltstones differ significantly from sandstones due to their smaller pores and higher propensity for containing a significant clay fraction


The Property is situated within the Concepciòn del Oro district that is regionally underlain by the Mexico Geosyncline, a Jurassic to Cretaceous-age, shelf-margin, carbonate sequence that sits unconformably on a basement of metamorphic rocks and is conformably overlain by a back-arc successor basin of Cretaceous-age marine siltstone-sandstone flysch origin. Finely-laminated, fine-grained calcareous, carbonaceous siltstone, sandstone and mudstone, belonging to the early to middle Cretaceous Caracol Formation, underlie most of the Property. These rocks are underlain by a bedded sequence of silty to sandy limestone, possibly belonging to the Upper Jurassic platform limestone units of the Zualoga to Cuesta de Cura Formations. The Mesozoic calcareous country rocks have been locally intruded by several varieties of hydrothermally-altered monzonitic and granodioritic dykes, indicative of an advanced hydrothermal system spatially and genetically related to possibly a multi-phase, buried calcalkaline stock (Soto, 2011).


During Late Cretaceous to Early Tertiary time northcentral Mexico was subjected to the compressional Laramide orogeny which regionally folded the metasedimentary sequence. Later in Eocene time the compressive folding shifted to translational faulting resulting in regional northwesterly striking fold structures being displaced by right-lateral offset and renewed extension. Thus, normal and thrust faults associated with the folded metasedimentary structures are important conduits for intrusions and associated precious metal mineralization. The southern Concepciòn del Oro district covers a series of subparallel sierras that generally strike east-west and curve southward. Several of these sierras are anticlines or limbs of anticlines that have Jurassic to Cretaceous-age limestone cores and separate by synclinal valleys underlain by Mesozoic metasedimentary rocks.


According to Servicios Geologico de Mexico (2006), the extreme northern and southern portions of the Property are underlain by or immediately adjacent to two major west-northwesterly trending overturned anticlines, and regional mapping shows the central portion of the Property covers a similarly-oriented anticlinal structure beneath alluvium at the Julia zone. Several folded anticlinal structures and associated faulting represent excellent exploration targets for intrusive-related precious metal mineralization.

Mineral Zones and Showings


Over the past three years San Marco has focused their exploration work on several selected areas within the Property. Based upon 2010 induced polarization (IP) and magnetics, soil geochemical and trenching results, San Marco contracted S J Geophysics in 2011 to conduct IP surveys over the five areas, called the Julia, San Lucas Ridge, North Julia, Las Crucitas and El Jaguey (Southwest) zones. This work has identified the Julia and San Lucas Ridge zones as two high priority drilling targets for future evaluation.


Both the Julia and San Lucas Ridge zones have favorable geological settings for intrusion related gold-silver mineralization, plus coincident anomalous gold, base metal and indicator element soil geochemistry and combined magnetics and I.P. anomalies. The following illustration shows the locations of each zone of interest with the 2010 and 2011 geophysical survey grids overlying the property-wide airborne vertical gradient magnetics results.


23



[patriotminefindersinc10k006.jpg]


Julia Zone


The Julia zone is dominantly underlain by finely-laminated, fine grained calcareous, siltstone, sandstone and mudstone of the Late Cretaceous Caracol Formation that have been hornfelsed by several local monzonitic and granodioritic dykes. The metasedimentary rocks locally strike 345o and dip -65o northeastwardly. The granodioritic and monzonitic dykes are hydrothermally-altered to argillic facies and they have metasomatized the calcareous country rocks producing magnetite-bearing hornfelsed alteration envelopes with local quartz-pyrite veining often along bedding planes.


24



[patriotminefindersinc10k007.jpg]

Soil geochemical sampling and trenching over the Julia zone has identified high gold-in-soil and gold-in-rocks geochemical signature spatially situated within the area of the hornfelsed metasedimentary rocks and dykes. The highest gold-in-soil values are also central to high airborne and ground magnetic and IP anomalies.





25




[patriotminefindersinc10k008.jpg]


26

In 2010 San Marco retained S J Geophysics to carry out a limited IP survey over the Julia zone. Based upon the 2010 soil geochemical survey and IP survey results San Marco excavated 11 trenches in the Julia zone to expose and sample the bedrock. The results of this work encouraged San Marco to continue exploration of this zone with a detailed ground magnetic survey and contract S J Geophysics to infill and extend the IP coverage over the Julia zone and extend their IP survey to the north, called the Julia North zone. The ground magnetics survey results were analyzed, inverted and spatially integrated with the IP data by S J Geophsyics. According to Witter and Rastad (2011), the Julia zone has a series of resistant hills forming a horseshoe-shaped area that is open to the southwest. At a depth of 50 to 200 m beneath the middle of this area there is a significant resistivity low anomaly. The highest resistivity values are situated around the periphery of this area with the highest values coincident with the mapped quartz-infilled shear zone in the Julia zone and an exposure of monzonitic dyke. There are two primary chargeability high anomalies at the Julia zone: one which lies in the middle of the horseshoe and another, which is smaller, that lies at the mouth of the horseshoe. The larger of the two anomalies is situated at a depth of 100 to 300 m and the smaller extends over a more limited range of only 100 to 150 m deep (Witter and Rastad, 2011). The following figures show the resistivity and chargeability results over the Julia zone with the trace of the aforementioned horse-shaped area (modified after Witter and Rastad, 2011).


Based upon the 2011 geophysical and geochemical results, three diamond drill holes are proposed to initially test the chargeability high and resistivity low that are situated directly beneath the gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly corresponding with the hornfelsed Caracol Formation metasedimentary rocks intruded by hydrothermally-altered granitic intrusions. The three proposed drill holes would be separated and inclined along the northeasterly trend of the geophysical anomaly to better test its extent.


San Lucas Ridge Zone


The San Lucas Ridge zone is underlain by a west-northwesterly trending overturned anticline cored by older Upper Jurassic-age platform carbonate rocks (i.e. Zuloga or La Pena Formations) that are overlain by early to middle Cretaceous Carocol Formation calcareous, fine-grained metasedimentary rocks. Several fault and shear structures subparallel the folded structure providing potential conduits for intrusions and precious metal mineralization.


According to SGM (2007) and Soto (2011), the limestones capping San Lucas ridge have been locally metasomatized and decalcified indicating possibly buried intrusions in the core of the folded sequence. East of the Property, there are old shafts and underground workings that have been driven to explore for gold mineralization associated with argillically-altered monzonitic dykes that have intruded the folded calcareous rocks.


Recent soil sampling results show the San Lucas zone reflected by large circular arsenic and antimony anomalies within which rock geochemical sampling has returned interesting gold values ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 gpt gold. Furthermore, both Kennecott (original discover of the Penasquito mineralization) and Diabrass have drill tested the folded carbonate rocks east of the Property and reportedly intersected interesting base and precious metal mineralization (Soto, 2011).


The results of S J Geophysics IP survey of the San Lucas Ridge zone found a very high resistivity carapace, 50 to 100 m thick, covering the crest and flanks of San Lucas ridge. This high resistivity corresponds to the area underlain by the core and flanks of the anticlinallyfolded limestone and calcareous metasediments. However, beneath this high resistivity there is very low resistivity which may reflect a mineralized intrusion or fault structure (Witter and Rastad, 2011).


Recent exploration of the La Buena property has discovered coincident geological, geochemical and geophysical anomalies within the Julia and San Lucas Ridge zones. The 2011 geophysical and geochemical surveys have identified a buried chargeability high and coincident resistivity low directly beneath a large gold-in-soil


27


geochemical anomaly on the Julia zone. The anomalous geophysical results and gold soil geochemistry corresponds with the mapped extent of hornfelsed metasedimentary rocks that have been intruded by hydrothermally-altered granitic intrusions hosting geochemically significant gold mineralization.


The IP survey of the San Lucas Ridge zone discovered high resistivity, folded limestone and calcareous metasediments covering a very low resistivity anomaly that may reflect a buried mineralized intrusion or structure. The geophysical anomaly lies beneath an area with highly anomalous arsenic and antimony soil geochemistry and many old underground workings along trend that were excavated to explore for gold-bearing mineralization.


This property has excellent exploration potential and its continued exploration is certainly warranted.


Item 3.

Legal Proceedings


We are not aware of any material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or of which our property is the subject. We also know of no proceedings to which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial holders of more than 5% of any class of our securities, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate or security holder are an adverse party or have a material interest adverse to us.


Item 4.  Mining Safety Disclosures


The recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act) requires the operators of mines to include in each periodic report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission certain specified disclosures regarding the Companys history of mine safety. The Company is currently in the exploration phase and does not operate mines at any of its properties, and as such is not subject to disclosure requirements regarding mine safety that were imposed by the Act.

Market Information


Our common stock is not traded on any exchange. Our common stock is quoted on OTC Bulletin Board, under the trading symbol PROF. We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.


OTC Bulletin Board securities are not listed and traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Bulletin Board securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers. OTC Bulletin Board issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a national or regional stock exchange.


The following table reflects the high and low bid information for our common stock obtained from Stockwatch and reflects inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, markdown or commission, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Holders


As of the date of this report there were 44 holders of record of our common stock.


Dividends


To date, we have not paid dividends on shares of our common stock and we do not expect to declare or pay dividends on shares of our common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of any dividends will depend upon our future earnings, if any, our financial condition, and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.


Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans


We do not have in effect any compensation plans under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance and we do not have any outstanding stock options.


Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities


On June 18, 2012 we issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to San Marco in partial satisfaction of our obligations under our Option Agreement with San Marco dated February 28, 2012, as assigned and amended on by the Amending Agreement dated August 2, 2012. The securities were issued to one non-U.S. person in reliance on Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.


Description of Registrants Securities to be Registered


Our authorized capital stock consists of 1,680,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value.


Common Stock


As of the date of this report we had 61,800,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.


Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of common stock or other subscription rights. Our common stock carries no conversion rights and is not subject to redemption or to any sinking fund provisions. All shares of our common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends from sources legally available, when, as and if declared by our board of directors, and upon our liquidation or dissolution, whether voluntary or involuntary, to share equally in our assets available for distribution to our security holders.


Our board of directors is authorized to issue additional shares of our common stock not to exceed the amount authorized by our Articles of Incorporation, on such terms and conditions and for such consideration as our board may deem appropriate without further security holder action.


29


Voting Rights


Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which such stockholders are entitled to vote. Since the shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all the directors if they choose to do so and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any person to our board of directors.


Dividend Policy


Holders of our common stock are entitled to dividends if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. From our inception to December 9, 2007 we did not declare any dividends.


We do not intend to issue any cash dividends in the future. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. However, it is possible that our management may decide to declare a stock dividend in the future. Our future dividend policy will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, our financial condition, our capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors.


Transfer Agent and Registrar


Our independent stock transfer agent is Pacific Stock Transfer Company, 4045 South Spencer Street, Suite 403, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89119.


Indemnification of Directors and Officers


The company has entered into Indemnification Agreements with each of its directors and officers.


Other that the Indemnification Agreements between the company and each of the companys directors and officers, the only statute, charter provision, bylaw, contract, or other arrangement under which any controlling person, director or officer of us is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he may incur in his capacity as such, is as follows:


·

Except as otherwise provided in NRS 35.230, 90.660, 91.250, 452.200, 452.270, 668.045 and 694A.030, or unless the Articles of Incorporation or an amendment thereto, in each case filed on or after October 1, 2003, provide for greater individual liability, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that:


(a)

his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer; and

(a)

is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or

Item 7.  

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


Forward-looking statements


This report contains "forward-looking statements" relating to us which represent our current expectations or beliefs, including statements concerning our operations, performance, financial condition and growth. For this purpose, any statement contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "anticipation", "intend", "could", "estimate", or "continue" or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel and variability of quarterly results, our ability to continue our growth strategy and competition, certain of which are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.


The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in our audited financial statements for the period ended July 31, 2012.


Plan of Operation


As at July 31, 2012, we had a cash balance of $1,930, compared to a cash balance of $1,471 as of July 31, 2011. Our plan of operation for the next twelve months is to seek out and acquire a new mineral property or properties for exploration and development.


Our plan of operation for the twelve months is to commence an initial phase of exploration on the La Buena project. We estimate that the cost of the initial aggregated exploration will be approximately $1,000,000.


As well, we anticipate spending an additional $225,000 on administrative fees, including fees payable in connection with our filing obligations as a reporting issuer, and cash payments under the Skanderbegs obligation on option agreement. Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be approximately $1,225,000.

 

We do not have sufficient funds to cover the anticipated administrative expenses or to acquire a new mineral property, so we will require additional funding. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or from director loans. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing or loans.


If we are not successful in raising additional financing, we anticipate that we will not be able to proceed with our business plan. Any business opportunity would require our management to perform diligence on possible acquisition of additional resource properties. Such due diligence would likely include purchase investigation costs, such as professional fees by consulting geologists, preparation of geological reports on the properties, conducting title searches and travel costs for site visits.


Our current cash on hand will not be sufficient to acquire any resource property and additional funds will be required to earn-in to the La Buena property. As a reporting company we will need to maintain our periodic filings with the appropriate regulatory authorities and will incur legal and accounting costs. If no other such


32


opportunities are available and we cannot raise additional capital to sustain minimum operations, we may be forced to discontinue business. We do not have any specific alternative business opportunities in mind and have not planned for any such contingency.


Based on the nature of our business, we anticipate incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that very few mineral claims in the exploration stage ultimately develop into producing, profitable mines. Our future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside our control. These factors include the following:


·

our ability to raise additional funding;


·

our ability to acquire a new mineral property;


·

the market price for minerals that may be found on any mineral property we may acquire;


·

the results of our proposed exploration programs on the mineral property; and


·

our ability to find joint venture partners for the development of our property interests.


We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.


Results of Operations


We have had no operating revenues since our inception on February 9, 2007 through July 31, 2012, and have incurred operating expenses in the amount of $134,757 for the same period. Our activities have been financed from the proceeds of share subscriptions and director loans.


We do not anticipate earning revenues unless we enter into commercial production on any mineral property we may acquire, which is doubtful. We have not commenced the exploration stage of our business and can provide no assurance that we will discover economic mineralization on any mineral property we may acquire, or if such minerals are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production.


For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, general and administrative expenses were $21,366 compared to $8,890 for the year ended July 31, 2011 and professional fees were $32,395 compared to $7,110 for the same period last fiscal year.


Since our inception on February 9, 2007 through July 31, 2012, general and administrative expenses were $47,535, professional fees were $71,105, consulting expense were $22,870, filing expense were $15,995, promotion expense were $42,131 and we incurred $12,500 in geological, mineral and prospect costs.


During our fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, we incurred a net loss of $134,757, which resulted in an accumulated deficit of $212,136, compared to a net loss of $16,000 and an accumulated deficit of $77,379 for the year ended July 31, 2011.


Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We have expensed all development costs related to our establishment.



33


Liquidity and Capital Resources


We had cash of $1,930 as of July 31, 2012, compared to a cash position of $1,471 at July 31, 2011. Since inception through to and including July 31, 2012, we have raised $29,200 through private placements of our common shares.


We expect to run at a loss for at least the next twelve months. We have no agreements for additional financing and cannot provide any assurance that additional funding will be available to finance our operations on acceptable terms in order to enable us to complete our plan of operations. There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to acquire a new mineral property and carry out any exploration work on it and our venture will fail.


Off-balance sheet arrangements


We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Shareholders of

Patriot Minefinders Inc. (formerly Atlantic Resources Inc.):

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Patriot Minefinders Inc. (referred to as the Company) as at July 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity (deficit) and cash flows the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from February 9, 2007 (date of inception) to July 31, 2012.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at July 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders equity (deficit) and changes in cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from February 9, 2007 (date of inception) to July 31, 2012 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is an exploration stage company and has yet to commence active operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PATRIOT MINEFINDERS INC.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2012


1.

NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS



Atlantic Resources Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 9, 2007 and is in the exploration stage. On March 29, 2012, Atlantic Resources Inc. merged with and into our wholly-owned subsidiary Patriot Minefinders Inc. (the Company), a Nevada corporation, to effect a name change from Atlantic Resources Inc. to Patriot Minefinders Inc.  The Company was formed soley for the change of name.  The Company is engaged in activities related to the exploration for mineral resources in Mexico.  The Company acquired a mineral property claim located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, but allowed the claim to lapse on October 6, 2010.  


The Company is in the early stages of exploration and as is common with any exploration company, it raises financing for its exploration and acquisition activities.  These financial statements have been prepared o the going concern basis, which presumes that the Company will continue operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred a loss of $134,757 for the year ended July 31, 2012 and has accumulated a deficit during the exploration stage of $212,136.  This raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Companys ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan, which is typical for junior exploration companies.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.


Management of the Company (Management) is of the opinion that sufficient financing will be obtained from external financing and further share issuances to meet the Companys obligations.  At July 31, 2012, the Company has working capital deficiency of $182,936, which would not be sufficient to fund the current level of operations.

BASIS OF PREPARATION


Generally accepted accounting principles


These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (US GAAP).


Use of Estimates


The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the carrying value and recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets and the valuation allowance applied to deferred income taxes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates, and would impact future results of operations and cash flows.

Receivables


No allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided.  Management has evaluated all receivables and believes they are collectible.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd)


Mineral property


The costs of acquiring mineral rights are capitalized at the date of acquisition.  After acquisition, various factors can affect the recoverability of the capitalized costs.  If, after review, management concludes that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset is impaired, it will be written down to estimated fair value.  Exploration costs incurred on exploration and evaluation assets are expensed as incurred.  Development costs incurred on proven and probable reserves will be capitalized.  Upon commencement of production, capitalized costs will be amortized using the unit-of-production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on proven and probable reserves (which exclude non-recoverable reserves and anticipated processing losses).  When the Company receives an option payment related to a property, the proceeds of the payment are applied to reduce the carrying value of the exploration asset.


Long-lived assets


Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.


Asset retirement obligations


The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the long-lived assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost).


Loss per share


Basic loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  To calculate diluted loss per share, the Company uses the treasury stock method and the if converted method.  


Long-lived assets


Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd)


Financial instruments


The Companys financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties. It is managements opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments.  The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values unless otherwise noted.  


Fair value of financial assets and liabilities


The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on US GAAP guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.


The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature.  Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions which are accounted for at the transferors carrying amount or exchange amount.


Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income.  Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method of amortization.  Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income.


Financial instruments, including due from related party, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments.  


Foreign exchange


The Companys functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Any monetary assets and liabilities that are in a currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the rate prevailing at year end. Revenue and expenses in a foreign currency are translated at rates that approximate those in effect at the time of translation. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency transactions into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations.


Asset retirement obligations


The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the long-lived assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost).

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd)


Stock-based compensation


The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.  Under the fair value recognition provisions, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date for all stock-based awards to employees and directors and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.  The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to calculate fair value.


The Company accounts for stock compensation arrangements with non-employees in accordance with ASC 718 which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock- based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instruments vest. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. For stock options granted to non- employees, the fair value of the stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model.


Income taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under the asset and liability method the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be recognized.


Exploration Stage Company


As an exploration stage Company, it is a type of development stage company as defined in Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-915.  Accordingly, the Company devotes substantially all of its present efforts to establish its business and its planned principal operations have not commenced. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Companys development stage activities.


Recent accounting pronouncements


Fair Value Accounting


In May 2011, the ASC guidance was issued related to disclosures around fair value accounting.  The updated guidance clarifies different components of fair value accounting including the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts, measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entitys shareholders equity and disclosing quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements that are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  The update is effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012.  The Companys January 1, 2012 adoption of the updated guidance had no impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

MINERAL PROPERTY OPTION


Title to mineral properties


Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain mineral titles as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveying history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties are in good standing.


La Buena, Mexico


During the year ended July 31, 2012, the Company entered in to an assignment agreement with Skanderbeg Capital Partners Inc. (Skanderbeg) whereby the Company can earn a 50% interest in the La Buena mineral claims located in Mexico.  


Skanderbeg entered in to an option agreement with San Marco Resources Inc. (San Marco) dated February 28, 2012, wherein Skanderbeg had an option to acquire from San Marco a 50% interest in the La Buena mining claims.  Skanderbeg has assigned its interest in the Option to the Company for $100,000, which consists of the costs paid by Skanderbeg to date to San Marco as part of the option agreement. The Company has not yet made that payment.


Under the option agreement the Company assumed all of Skanderbegs obligations and agreed to issue up to 2,500,000 (1,000,000 issued) restricted shares of common stock to San Marco, in periodic installments to December 31, 2014; make aggregate cash payments totaling $300,000 to San Marco, with the next payment of $100,000 due December 31, 2012, and then an additional $100,000 due on each of December 31, 2013 and 2014 respectively; and to incur aggregate exploration expenditures of $6,000,000, with $1,000,000 to be incurred by December 31, 2012, $500,000 to be incurred by December 31, 2013, and the balance of $4,500,000 to be incurred by December 31, 2014.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures


Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures performed by our management, with participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures have not been effective as a result of a weakness in the design of internal control over financial reporting.


As used herein, disclosure controls and procedures mean controls and other procedures of our company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and forms.

37



Board of Directors and Director Nominees


The decisions of the board regarding director nominees are made by persons who have an interest in the outcome of the determination. The board will consider candidates for directors proposed by security holders, although no formal procedures for submitting candidates have been adopted. Unless otherwise determined, at any time not less than 90 days prior to the next annual board meeting at which a slate of director nominees is adopted, the board will accept written submissions from proposed nominees that include the name, address and telephone number of the proposed nominee; a brief statement of the nominees qualifications to serve as a director; and a statement as to why the security holder submitting the proposed nominee believes that the nomination would be in the best interests of our security holders. If the proposed nominee is not the same person as the security holder submitting the name of the nominee, a letter from the nominee agreeing to the submission of his or her name for consideration should be provided at the time of submission. The letter should be accompanied by a résumé supporting the nominee's qualifications to serve on the board, as well as a list of references.


The board identifies director nominees through a combination of referrals from different people, including management, existing board members and security holders. Once a candidate has been identified, the board reviews the individual's experience and background and may discuss the proposed nominee with the source of the recommendation. If the board believes it to be appropriate, board members may meet with the proposed nominee before making a final determination whether to include the proposed nominee as a member of the slate of director nominees submitted to security holders for election to the board.


Conflicts of Interest


Our directors are not obligated to commit their full time and attention to our business and, accordingly, they may encounter a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and those of other businesses. In the course of their other business activities, they may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as other entities to which they owe a fiduciary duty. As a result, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. They may also in the future become affiliated with entities that are engaged in business activities similar to those we intend to conduct.


We do not have any written procedures in place to address conflicts of interest that may arise between our business and the future business activities of the Board of Directors.


In general, officers and directors of a corporation are required to present business opportunities to the corporation if:


·

the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;

·

the opportunity is within the corporations line of business; and

·

it would be unfair to the corporation and its stockholders not to bring the opportunity to the attention of the corporation.



We have adopted a code of ethics that obligates our directors, officers and employees to disclose potential conflicts of interest and prohibits those persons from engaging in such transactions without our consent.


Significant Employees and Consultants


We have no significant employees other than the officers and directors described above.
