Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Star Gold Corp. (the "Company") was initially incorporated as Elan Development, Inc., in the State of Nevada on December 8, 2006. The Company was originally organized to explore mineral properties in British Columbia, Canada but the Company is currently focusing on Gold properties in Nevada.

These financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time. As of April 30, 2012, the Company had $225,940 in cash, working capital of $309,642, and stockholders’ equity (deficit) of ($358,629) and accumulated net losses of $4,050,428 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Its continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required, to develop commercially viable mining reserves, and ultimately to establish profitable operations.

Management's plans for the continuation of the Company as a going concern include financing the Company's operations through issuance of its common stock. If the Company is unable to complete its financing requirements or achieve revenue as projected, it will then modify its expenditures and plan of operations to coincide with the actual financing completed and actual operating revenues. There are no assurances, however, with respect to the future success of these plans.

Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these notes to the financial statements pertain to continuing operations. The Company is not currently earning any revenues.

The financial statement represents those of an exploration stage company whose main focus is in the exploration of gold bearing properties. The Company's main business is putting together land packages and mining claims that the Company perceives to have some potential for mineral reserves. The Company then spends capital to explore these claims by drilling, geophysical work or other exploration work deemed necessary.
