Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Principles of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 810-10-5, “Consolidation of VIEs”. ASC 810-10-5 requires a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIEs residual returns.
 
As a result of the investment by Mabwe Minerals Inc. funded by Preferred Convertible Series B Stock of Raptor Resources Holdings Inc., MAB – Z has been identified by the Company as a VIE. The value of the Series B Preferred Convertible Stock is $25,000, which is reflected as Goodwill on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2013.
 
In addition, as the result of the investment by Mabwe Minerals Inc., MAB-C will be the operating arm of Mabwe Minerals Inc., with the Company being the primary beneficiary of all the activities of MAB-C. MAB-C is a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) with respect to guidance under ASC 810-10-5 and is therefore consolidated.
Noncontrolling Interests [Policy Text Block]
Noncontrolling Interests
 
In accordance with ASC 810-10-45, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company classifies controlling interests as a component of equity within the balance sheets. The Company has retroactively applied the provisions in ASC 810-10-45 to the financial information for the period ended March 31, 2013. There was no activity from December 2, 2011 through June 28, 2012 in MAB-Z, the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Revenue Recognition
Prior to the change in business, the Company recorded revenues when the following criteria were met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collection of the sales price is reasonably assured.  Delivery occurs when goods are shipped and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer.  Revenue is deferred in all instances where the earnings process is incomplete.  The Company recognized revenue from distribution sales when all contingencies were satisfied and upon persuasive evidence of a sale to end users until such time that historical sell through ratios had been developed.  Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition were satisfied were recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Revenues and costs of revenues from consulting contracts were recognized during the period in which the service was performed.  All revenues were reported net of any sales discounts or taxes.
 
Since the Company entered the Exploration Stage, no revenues have been recorded.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain related intangibles for impairment periodically, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable.  When necessary, impaired assets are written down to estimated fair value based on the best information available.  Estimated fair value is generally based on either appraised value or measured by discounting estimated future cash flows.  Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate discounted future cash flows.  Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.  There were no assets that were considered to be impaired as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method.   Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the condensed consolidated 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 for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse.  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.
 
The Company records a valuation allowance if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  In determining the possible realization of deferred tax assets, the Company considers future taxable income from the following sources: (i) the reversal of taxable temporary differences, (ii) taxable income from future operations and (iii) tax planning strategies that, if necessary, would be implemented to accelerate taxable income into periods in which net operating losses might otherwise expire.
 
The Company also recognizes the income tax effect of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.  The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  If recognized, the tax portion of the adjustment would affect the effective tax rate.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Earnings or Loss per Common Share
Basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 basic and diluted earnings per share were the same.
Income Tax Uncertainties, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. ASC 740-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has adopted ASC 740-10 for 2008, and they evaluate their tax positions on an annual basis. The Company’s policy is to recognize both interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits expected to result in payment of cash within one year are classified as accrued liabilities, while those expected beyond one year are classified as other liabilities. The Company has not recorded any interest or penalties since its inception.
 
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction and various state tax jurisdictions. The tax years for 2009 to 2011 remain open for examination by federal and/or state tax jurisdictions. The Company is currently not under examination by any other tax jurisdictions for any tax year.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Goodwill
 
Effective July 18, 2012, the Company’s acquired a 49% interest of Mabwe Minerals Zimbabwe (PVT) LTD (MAB-Z) for 25,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. The value of this transaction was $25,000 resulted in the Company recording Goodwill as part of the purchase transaction. MAB-Z is the operating arm of the Company and at the time of the purchase it’s net assets consisted chiefly of mining rights associated with the main line of business of the company. Management periodically assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. At December 31, 2012 management has determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount and thus no need to adjust for impairment.
Subsequent Events, Policy [Policy Text Block]
