The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.   Foreign Currency Risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in the rates of exchange on foreign currencies will impact the financial position or cash flows of the Company. The Companys functional currency is the Canadian dollar, thus the Company is exposed to foreign currency risks in relation to certain payables that are to be settled in US dollars. Management monitors its foreign currency exposure regularly to minimize the risk of an adverse impact on its cash flows.   Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss in the event that certain counterparties are unable to fulfill its obligations to the Company. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss on its cash by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Accounts receivables are harmonized sales taxes due from the Canadian government and notes receivable are due from stockholders of the Company.   Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Companys cash flows from operations will not be sufficient for the Company to continue operating and discharge is liabilities. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk as its continued operation is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing, either in the form of debt or equity, or achieving profitable operations in order to satisfy its liabilities as they come due.   Market Risk Market risk is the risk that fluctuations in the market prices of minerals will impact the Companys ability to build and achieve profitable operations. The Company is exposed to market risk on the price of gold, which will determine the profitability of future operations, the amount of exploration and development work that the Company will be able to perform, and the number of financing opportunities that will be available. Management believes that it would be premature at this point to enter into any hedging or forward contracts to mitigate its exposure to specific market price risks.falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for financial instruments.
