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 under the symbol “AARID”.  The “D” will be placed on our ticker symbol for 20 business days.  A new symbol will be issued by FINRA after 30 business days to reflect the Company’s new name.
