Organization And Nature Of Business [Abstract]
Organization and Nature of Business [Text Block]	NOTE 1 - Organization and Nature of Business Dakota Gold Corp., (the "Company" or "Dakota Gold") was incorporated as JR Resources Corp. ("JR") on November 15, 2017 under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia, Canada). The Company focuses its business efforts on the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in the United States of America ("U.S."). On May 22, 2020, the Company completed the domestication process and changed the Company's registration from the Province of British Columbia, Canada to the State of Nevada, U.S. On March 31, 2022, pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") approval of the DTRC Merger (defined below) and acquisition of the remaining shares of Dakota Territory Resource Corp. ("DTRC") by the Company, DTRC was merged into a subsidiary of the Company and prior to completion of the DTRC Merger, JR changed its name to Dakota Gold Corp. (see DTRC Merger Transaction below). Liquidity The Company's mineral properties are at the exploration stage and are without a known body of commercial ore and therefore have not generated revenues. The business of exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenditures may be required to establish ore reserves, to develop metallurgical processes, to acquire construction and operating permits and to construct mining and processing facilities. The amounts shown as exploration and evaluation assets cost represent acquisition and holding costs and do not necessarily represent present or future recoverable values. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the Company obtaining the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of the properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves and future profitable operations or through sale of the assets. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company and its subsidiaries will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had not advanced its properties to commercial production and is not able to finance day-to-day activities through operations. The Company's management believes the cash raised during the year ended March 31, 2022, cash balance of approximately $39.3 million as at March 31, 2022, as well as its working capital surplus of $39,335,458, alleviate the doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Uncertainties and Economic Development In March 2020, the World Health Organization designated the coronavirus ("COVID-19") as a global pandemic. Federal, state and local governments have mandated orders to slow the transmission of the virus, including but not limited to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, restrictions on travel, and work restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has resulted in significant volatility in the financial markets. Furthermore, the impact of the pandemic on the global economy could also negatively impact the availability and cost of future borrowings or equity financing should the need arise. It is unknown how long the adverse conditions associated with the pandemic will last and what the complete financial and operating effect will be to the Company. The Company continues to monitor the impact that the pandemic, including relief bills enacted in response thereto, may have on operations. Reverse Stock Split On March 8, 2022, the Company completed a reverse split of its common stock on a 1 for 0.721512 share basis, par value $0.001 per share (the "Reverse Stock Split"). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each share of common stock issued and outstanding was automatically decreased to approximately 0.721512 of a share of issued and outstanding common stock, without any change in the par value per share. All information related to the Company's common stock, warrants and earnings or loss per share were retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented. To affect the Reverse Stock Split, on March 8, 2022, the Company filed a certificate of change with the Nevada Secretary of State to decrease the number of authorized shares from 200,000,000 to 144,302,330 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share. DTRC Merger Transaction On September 10, 2021, the Company and DTRC entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "merger agreement") providing for the acquisition of the non-controlling interest of DTRC where the Company would acquire the remaining shares (not previously owned) of DTRC for an equal number of shares of the Company and DTRC would merge into a subsidiary of the Company (the "DTRC Merger" or the "DTRC Transaction"). The DTRC Merger was approved by the stockholders of DTRC at a Special Meeting of Stockholders and closed with an effective date of March 31, 2022. Pursuant to the merger agreement, the DTRC stockholders received one share of Dakota Gold common stock for each share of DTRC's common stock owned at the time of the closing. Upon closing of the transactions, DTRC's former stockholders owned approximately 49% of Dakota Gold's outstanding shares of common stock, while the Company's existing stockholders owned approximately 51%.
