Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and financial instruments which mature within three months of the date of purchase. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Loss per Share

Loss per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with GAAP. This requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period under the treasury stock method using the if-converted method. The Company does not currently have any instruments issued and outstanding that are potentially dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices.  The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.  In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including the party’s own credit risk.

Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs.  A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.  Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statements carrying values and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.  In determining the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns, judgment and interpretation of statutes is required. Judgments and interpretation of statutes are inherent in this process. Future income tax assets are recorded in the financial statements if realization is considered more likely than not.

For previously taken tax positions considered to be uncertain, the Company prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute.  In the event certain tax positions do not meet the appropriate recognition threshold, de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions is required.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Company is subject to federal tax audits for all periods since inception in 2013.

Stock Based Compensation

Stock Based Compensation

The Company has on occasion issued equity and equity linked instruments to employees and non-employees in lieu of cash to various vendors for the receipt of goods and services and, in certain circumstances the settlement of short-term loan arrangements. The applicable GAAP establishes that share-based payment transactions with employees and non-employees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

In these transactions, we issue unregistered and restricted shares of common stock.

When unregistered common shares and equity-linked instruments convertible into unregistered common shares are issued for the settlement of short-term financing arrangements (that are not initially convertible), the reacquisition price of the extinguished financing arrangement is determined by the value of the debt which is more clearly evident, and no additional inducement expense is recognized.

In situations in which we issue unregistered restricted common shares in exchange for goods and services, and the value of the goods and services are not the most reliably measurable, we recognize the fair value of the unregistered restricted equity instruments based on the value of similar instruments issued in private placements in exchange for cash in the most recent transactions (a Level 2 input within the GAAP hierarchy). We have determined this methodology reflects the risk adjusted fair value of our unregistered restricted equity instruments using a commercially reasonable valuation technique.

Mining Equipment

Mining Equipment

The Company records its mining equipment at historical cost. Depreciation expense is recognized in operations over the estimated service lives or productive value of the equipment. The Company capitalizes expenditures for improvements that significantly extend the useful life of an asset. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations when incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:

Drilling equipment	5 to 7 years
Vehicles and trailers	3 to 7 years
Field equipment	1 to 3 years

Mineral Property Costs

Mineral Property Costs

We defer acquisition costs until we determine the viability of a mineral property. Since we do not have proven and probable reserves as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7. Exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. We expense care and maintenance costs as incurred.

We review the carrying value of our mineral property for impairment whenever there are negative indicators of impairment. Our estimate of the gold price, mineralized materials, operating capital, and reclamation costs are subject to risks and uncertainties affecting the recoverability of our investment in the mineral property. Although we have made our best, most current estimate of these factors, it is possible that near term changes could adversely affect our estimates and possibly require future asset impairment write-downs.

When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

Environmental Costs

Environmental Costs

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.

Reclamation Liabilities and Asset Retirement Obligations

Reclamation Liabilities and Asset Retirement Obligations

Minimum standards for site reclamation and closure have been established by various government agencies that affect certain of our operations. The Company calculates estimates of reclamation liabilities based on current laws and regulations and the expected undiscounted future cash flows to be incurred in reclaiming, restoring, and closing of operating mine sites. US GAAP requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. It further requires us to record a liability for the present value of our estimated environmental remediation costs and the related asset created with it when a recoverable asset (long-lived asset) can be realized.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the quantitative test (“Step 2”) for impairment for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount based on a qualitative assessment (“Step 1”). The provisions of ASU 2017-04 are effective for impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019 and may be early adopted on a prospective basis for impairment tests performed at January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on its financial position, operational results, or cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 - Business Combinations (Topic 805), which clarifies the definition of a business. For accounting and financial reporting purposes, businesses are generally comprised of three elements; inputs, processes, and outputs. Integrated sets of assets and activities capable of providing these three elements may not always be considered a business, and the lack of one of the three elements does not always disqualify the set from being a business. The issuance of ASU No. 2017-01 provides a clarifying screen to determine when a set of assets and activities is not a business. Primarily, the screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The amendments contained in ASU No. 2017-01 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and may be early adopted for certain transactions that have occurred before the effective, but only when the underlying transaction has not been reported in the financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. The Company does not believe the implementation of ASU 2017-01 will have a material effect on its financial position, operational results, or cash flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16 - Income Taxes (Topic 740), which requires that the Company recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendments contained in ASU No. 2016-16 are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not believe the implementation of ASU 2016-16 will have a material effect on its financial position, operational results, or cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payments, including accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, and classification within the statement of cash flows. The simplification guidance is effective January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of implementing the stock compensation simplification on its financial position, operational results, and cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB began issuing several accounting standards updates associated with accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. The objective of the initial update, and subsequent clarifying and industry specific updates, is to 1) remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, 2) provide a robust framework for addressing revenue recognition issues, 3) improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets 4) provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements, and 5) simplify the preparation of financial statements. The updates are effective in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and the interim periods within that year. The Company will be evaluating the impact of this update as it pertains to the Company’s financial statements and other required disclosures on an on-going basis until its eventual adoption and incorporation.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 - Leases. Under the new guidance a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms more than 12 months, whether that lease be classified as a capital or operating lease. This update is effective in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and the interim periods within that year. The Company will be evaluating the impact of this update as it pertains to the Company’s financial statements and other required disclosures on an on-going basis until its eventual adoption and incorporation.
