Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events [Text Block]	On July 15, 2014 Mabwe Minerals v Base Minerals (case HC1549/14) –was brought before the Supreme Court of Zimbabwe where all related claims were dismissed. We filed suit against three defendants and have received a judgment on request of order of spoliation due to defendants blocking mine access to Dodge Mine Blocks 1-6. The Supreme Court of Zimbabwe issued a perpetual interdict against the defendant to cease and desist all activities related to the blockage of the Dodge Mines as well as the dismissal of all related claims and appeals of Base Minerals under this case were dismissed. That litigation is on-going.
