Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Mineral Properties and Exploration and Development Costs

Mineral Properties and Exploration and Development Costs

The costs of acquiring mineral properties are capitalized at the date of acquisition. After acquisition, various factors can affect the recoverability of the capitalized costs. If, after review, management concludes that the carrying amount of a mineral property is impaired, it will be written down to estimated fair value. Exploration costs incurred on mineral properties are expensed as incurred. Development costs incurred on proven and probable reserves will be capitalized. Upon commencement of production, capitalized costs will be amortized using the unit-of-production method over the estimated life based on proven and probable reserves (which exclude non-recoverable reserves and anticipated processing losses). When the Company receives an option payment related to a property, the proceeds of the payment are applied to reduce the carrying value of the exploration asset.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets that are held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Intangible assets having an indefinite useful life are assessed for impairment annually.

The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the carrying amounts are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's accounts have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 830 Foreign Currency Matters. Management has determined that the functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar ("CAD"). Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars. In accordance with the provisions of ASC No. 830, transaction gains and losses on these assets and liabilities are included in the determination of income or loss for the relevant years. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements from their functional currencies to U.S. dollars are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income and have not been included in the determination of income or loss for the relevant years.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of the Company's more significant estimates include those related to going concern and the fair value of stock-based compensation and other equity instruments. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive Loss

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. ASC 220 establishes standards for the reporting and presentation of comprehensive loss and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive loss is presented in the statements of stockholders' deficit and consists of foreign currency translation adjustments. ASC 220 requires only additional disclosures in the financial statements and does not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. A fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

Level 1 -	Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 -	Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3 -	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statements and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for Stock-Based Compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASC 718 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. ASC 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718 requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued, when granted in exchange for employee services.

Awards granted to non-employees fall under ASC 505-50 and are recognized based on the fair value of the goods or services received or the equity instruments, whichever is more reliable.

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company accounts for earnings (loss) per share pursuant ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires disclosure on the unaudited condensed interim financial statements of “basic” and “diluted” earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to stock options and warrants for each year. The weighted average number of shares outstanding has been adjusted for the effects of stock dividends, stock splits, and reverse stock splits.

There were no dilutive financial instruments for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard’s main goal is to improve financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on financing receivables and other financial assets in scope. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and had no impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed interim financial statements.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-08, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Codification Improvements—Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer, that simplifies and increases comparability of accounting for nonemployee share-based payments, specifically those made to customers. The new guidance requires companies to measure and classify (on the balance sheet) share-based payments to customers by applying the guidance in Topic 718. As a result, the amount recorded as a reduction in revenue would be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment. ASU 2019-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
