Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
12 Months Ended
May 31, 2013
Use of Estimates [Policy Text Block]
a)

Use of Estimates

   
 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Functional Currency [Policy Text Block]
   
b)

Functional Currency

   
 

The Company’s functional currency is the United States (“U.S.”) dollar.

Cash [Policy Text Block]
   
c)

Cash

   
 

Cash consists of cash on deposit with a government insured federally regulated bank and to date the Company has not experienced losses on any of its balances. The carrying amounts approximate fair market value due to the liquidity of these deposits. For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We had no cash equivalents at either May 31, 2013, or May 31, 2012.

Financial Instruments [Policy Text Block]
   
d)

Financial Instruments

   
 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans from related parties. At May 31, 2013, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their carrying value based on their terms and interest rates.

   
Mineral Interests [Policy Text Block]
e)

Mineral Interests

   
 

Mineral interest acquisition costs include cash consideration and the estimated fair value of common shares issued for mineral properties, based on recent share issuances. Exploration and development expenditures are expensed in the period incurred until such time as the Company establishes the existence of commercial feasibility, at which time these costs will be deferred. Administrative expenditures are expensed in the period incurred.

   
 

Mineral interest acquisition costs and related interest & financing costs may be deferred until the property is placed into production, sold or abandoned. These costs will be deferred only when and if proven and probable reserves have been found to exist. No proven or probable reserves are currently known to exist.

   
 

Any deferred costs will be amortized on a unit-of-production basis over the estimated proven and probable reserves of the property following commencement of commercial production or written off if the property is sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned.

   
 

On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates the status of its mineral properties based on results to date to determine the nature of exploration and development work that is warranted in the future. If there is little prospect of further work on a property being carried out, the deferred costs related to that property are written down to their estimated recoverable amount.

   
Loss per Common Share [Policy Text Block]
f)

Loss per Common Share

   
 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders (the numerator) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. The computation of diluted earnings is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. At May 31, 2013, and May 31, 2012, there was no variance between basic and diluted loss per share as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

   
Income Taxes [Policy Text Block]
g)

Income Taxes

   
 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and losses carried forward using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Foreign Currency Translation [Policy Text Block]
h)

Foreign Currency Translation

   
 

The accounts of the Company’s foreign operations have been translated into United States dollars. Assets and liabilities of those operations are translated in U.S. dollars using exchange rates as of the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Translation adjustments are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The translation was not material to accumulate in the current fiscal year.

   
Stock-based Compensation [Policy Text Block]
i)

Stock-based Compensation

   
 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to employees based on ASC Topic “Share Based Payment” which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

   
 

The Topic does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans”.

   
 

It requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award – the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). It further requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The scope of the Topic includes a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans.

   
 

As at May 31, 2013, the Company had not adopted a stock option plan nor had it granted any stock options. Accordingly no stock-based compensation has been recorded to date.

Joint Ventures [Policy Text Block]
   
j)

Joint Ventures

   
 

All exploration and production activities are conducted jointly with others and, accordingly, the accounts reflect only the Company’s proportionate interest in such activities.

   
Environmental Protection and Reclamation Costs [Policy Text Block]
k)

Environmental Protection and Reclamation Costs

   
 

The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations including those for future removal and site restorations costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company may vary from region to region and are not predictable.

   
 

The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation, by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures. Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs will be charged against statements of operations as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending upon their future economic benefits. The Company does not currently anticipate any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities because all property holdings are at early stages of exploration. Therefore, estimated future removal and site restoration costs are presently considered minimal.

   
Fair Value of financial Instruments [Policy Text Block]
l)

Fair Value of financial Instruments

   
 

Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments define the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments, which include cash, accounts receivable, and accrued expenses, approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of such instruments.

   
Exploration Stage Company [Policy Text Block]
m)

Exploration – Stage Company

   
 

The Company is considered an exploration-stage company, having limited operating revenues during the period presented in compliance with ASC Topic “Accounting and Reporting of Development Stage Companies” which requires those companies to report their operations, shareholders deficit and cash flows since inception through the date that revenues are generated from management’s intended operations, among other things, Management has defined inception as May 17, 2006. Since inception, the company has incurred a net loss of $2,259,721. Much of this is related to professional fees and the first phase of exploration on our optioned mining properties. Management has provided financial data since May 17, 2006 (inception), in the financial statements.
