Basis of Presentation and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern [Text Block]	'
	1.      Basis of Presentation and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
	The Company has had no revenues from operations since inception and as at March 31, 2014 had a deficit of $73,470,250 (December 31, 2013 - $65,975,612) accumulated during the exploration and development stage. Management plans to control current costs and anticipates that the $10 million loan from January 2014 ( Note 6 – Related Party Transactions) , will fund the Company’s development and administrative activities over the next several months. The Company will require additional funding to continue Project development through the 2014 fiscal year.
	The Company is evaluating various financing options for further developing its core mineral asset, the Project, including debt, equity and other alternatives. A production decision will be made once the full project financing has been secured.
	The ability of the Company to obtain financing for its ongoing activities and thus maintain solvency, or to fund construction of the Project, is dependent on equity market conditions, the market for precious metals, the willingness of other parties to lend the Company money or the ability to find a merger partner. While the Company has been successful at certain of these efforts in the past, there can be no assurance that future efforts will be successful. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
	These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

	Common shares - 2014
	In February 2014, the Company issued 15,300 common shares for mineral property interests with a total fair value of $24,480. The fair value was based on the market price on the date of issuance.
	In February 2014, 60,000 stock options were exercised by a former director and the Company issued 60,000 common shares at $0.21 per share for proceeds of $12,712. The total transferred to share capital from additional paid-in capital upon exercise of stock options was $32,118.
	Common shares - 2013
	In March 2013, the Company issued 15,000 common shares for mineral property interests with a total fair value of $22,568 (C$23,250).
	In April 2013, 200,000 stock options were exercised and the Company issued 200,000 common shares at C$0.26 per share for proceeds of $50,674 (C$52,000).
	In May 2013, 100,000 stock options were exercised and the Company issued 100,000 common shares at C$0.26 per share for proceeds of $25,722 (C$26,000).

	Stock options
	The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted. In accordance with the accounting standard for employees, the compensation expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which approximates the vesting period. Compensation expense for stock options granted to non-employees is amortized over the contract services period or, if none exists, from the date of grant until the options vest. Compensation associated with unvested options granted to non-employees is remeasured on each balance sheet date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
	On December 23, 2013, the Board of the Company passed a resolution to convert the exercise prices of granted stock options to US dollars, being the functional currency of the Company. Prior to this, the Company was recognizing a derivative liability on the balance sheet for these options since they were not denominated in the functional currency. Refer to Note 8 – Derivative liability for further details.
	The following is a summary of stock option activity during the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013:
						Weighted

	Options exercisable, March 31, 2014		820,000		$	0.71
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized $96,074 (three months ended March 31, 2013 - $Nil) in stock-based compensation relating to employee stock options that have vesting terms.
	During the year ended December 31, 2013, there were 800,000 stock options issued for a total stock-based compensation expense of $475,263 (2012 - $Nil ; 2011 - $Nil) of which $271,137 related to stock options issued to employees and $204,126 related to stock options issued to non-employees. Of the options issued, 50,000 were issued to a consultant and vested immediately while an additional 150,000 options were issued to directors and they also vested immediately. The remaining 600,000 stock options were issued to two employees of which 100,000 vested immediately. The remaining 500,000 stock options had vesting conditions as follows:
	300,000 options - 100,000 vesting every 6 months from grant date for a total vesting period of 18 months using the straight line method; and
	200,000 options - 100,000 vesting every 6 months from grant date for a total vesting period of 12 months using the straight line method.
	In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company extended the expiry date of 650,000 stock options issued to non-employees from January 28, 2014 to May 30, 2014. All other stock options remain unchanged.
	The fair value of stock options granted as above is calculated using the following weighted average assumptions:
		2014	2013
	Expected life years	-	5
	Interest rate	-	1.78%
	Volatility	-	98.25%
	Dividend yield	-	0%
	As at March 31, 2014, the aggregate intrinsic value of the outstanding exercisable options was approximately $843,980 (December 31, 2013 - $325,995 ; March 31, 2013 - $2,893,000).
	The total intrinsic value of 60,000 options exercised during 2014 was approximately $76,020 (December 31. 2013 - $881,816).
	The unamortized compensation expense as at March 31, 2014 was $230,087 (December 31, 2013 - $325,158 ; March 31, 2013 - $Nil).

	4.      Asset Retirement Obligations
	The Company is required to provide the Bureau of Land Management, the State Office of Mine Reclamation and Kern County with a revised reclamation cost estimate annually. The financial assurance is adjusted once the cost estimate is approved.
	The Company’s provision for reclamation of the property is estimated each year by an independent consulting engineer. This estimate, once approved by state and county authorities, forms the basis for a cash deposit of reclamation financial assurance.
	The Company has provided reclamation financial assurance to the Bureau of Land Management, the State and Kern County totaling $478,727 (2013 - $478,742). This deposit earns interest at 0.1% per annum and is not available for working capital purposes.
	The Company estimated its asset retirement obligations based on its understanding of the requirements to reclaim and clean-up the property within the Project based on its activities and planned activities to date.
	As Management made the decision to capitalize all development expenditures directly related to the Project in July 2012, $nil (December 31, 2013 - $76,312) was capitalized as the asset portion of the retirement obligation for the period ended March 31, 2014.

	5. Commitments and Contingencies
	Property rent payments (Advance minimum royalties)
	The Company has acquired a number of mineral properties outright. It has acquired exclusive rights to explore, develop and mine other portions of the Project under various mining lease agreements with landowners.
	The Company is required to make property rent payments related to its mining lease agreements with landholders, in the form of advance minimum royalties. The total property rent payments for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $31,980, of which $24,480 was related to common shares issued (Year ended December 31, 2013 - $161,190), and the Company is expected to make approximate payments of $177,000 in 2014 to various landowners under the existing lease agreements. The payments are at the discretion of the Company and will cease if and when the Company goes into production and then begins paying royalty payments on production yields.
	There are multiple third party landholders and the royalty amount due to each landholder over the life of the Project varies with each property.
	Finder’s fee
	The Company has agreed to issue 100,000 common shares as a finder’s fee in connection with certain property acquisitions upon commencement of commercial production of the Project. As of March 31, 2014, commercial production has not commenced and no shares have been issued.
	Management agreement
	In 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with the President of the Company to issue 300,000 bonus shares upon completion of certain milestones. Upon receipt by the Company of a bankable feasibility study and the decision to place the Property into commercial production, a bonus of 150,000 common shares would be issued. Upon commencement of commercial production on the Property, a further bonus of 150,000 common shares would be issued. In May 2010, the Company entered into an amendment to the agreement whereby the 300,000 bonus shares would alternatively be issuable upon a change of control transaction, or upon a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, having a value at or above C$1.00 per share of the Company, with a further 300,000 bonus shares being issuable in the event the change of control transaction or asset sale occurred at a value at or above C$1.50 per share. This amended agreement is for a term of three years and shall automatically renew for two years. As at March 31, 2014, none of the milestones had been reached and no commitment to issue the common shares has been recorded in connection with these arrangements.
	During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company entered into employment agreements with a new Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and a Chief Operating Officer (“COO’). Included in the agreement with the CFO is a provision that if the CFO’s position is lost upon a change of control or within six months of a change of control the CFO would be entitled to a one-time payment equal to twice the annual salary, C$300,000 total, plus twice the annual bonus. The annual bonus is determined by the Board subsequent to a review of the CFO’s performance. Included in the agreement with the COO is a provision that if the COO’s position is lost upon a change of control or within six months of a change of control the COO would be entitled to a onetime payment equal to 100% of the annual base salary of $150,000.

Related Party Transactions [Text Block]	'
	6.      Related Party Transactions
	Except as noted elsewhere in these consolidated financial statements, related party transactions are disclosed as follows:
	Consulting Fees
	For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company paid $45,027 (2013 - $37,200) to Mr. H. L. Klingmann for services as President of the Company of which $15,287 (December 31, 2013 - $47,967 ; March 31, 2013 - $Nil) is payable as at March 31, 2014; paid $Nil (2013 - $6,700) to Mr. Chester Shynkaryk for his consulting services to the Company, paid $Nil (2013 - $7,400), to Mr. Ross McDonald for his services as the former CFO of the Company.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company paid a total of $11,624 (March 31, 2013 - $Nil) to its three independent directors. The two connected directors were not paid directors’ fees during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.
	Convertible Debentures
	On July 26, 2013, the Company entered into agreements to issue convertible debentures for aggregate proceeds of C$10,000,000 ($9,710,603). The convertible debentures are unsecured and bear interest at 2% per annum, calculated on the outstanding principal balance, payable annually. The principal amounts of the notes are convertible into shares of the Company at a price of C$1.03 per share for a period of two years. If the notes have not been converted by the holder prior to the maturity date, then the Company may convert them at the lower of C$1.03 or the market price as at the maturity date. The market price on the maturity date will be determined based on the volume- weighted average price of the shares traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five trading days preceding the maturity date. A total of C$7,500,000 of the offering was subscribed for by an investment vehicle managed by Thomas M. Clay, a Director and insider of the Company. The Company agreed to pay the legal fees incurred by the lenders relating to this instrument which amounted to $10,049.
	The conversion feature of the convertible debentures meets the definition of a derivative liability instrument because the conversion feature is denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency as well as the fact the exercise price is not a fixed price as described above. Therefore, the conversion feature does not meet the “fixed-for-fixed” criteria outlined in ASC 815-40-15. As a result, the conversion feature of the notes is required to be recorded as a derivative liability recorded at fair value and marked-to-market each period with the changes in fair value each period being charged or credited to income or loss.
	On inception of the debentures, the fair value of the derivative liability related to the conversion feature was $5,741,520 and as at March 31, 2014, was $8,581,363 (December 31, 2013 - $2,833,987). The derivative liability was calculated using an acceptable option pricing valuation model with the following assumptions:
		2014	2013
	Risk-free interest rate	1.07%	1.13% - 1.15%
	Expected life of derivative liability	1.32 years	1.57 - 2 years
	Expected volatility	98.71%	73.43% - 89.52%
	Dividend rate	0.00%	0.00%
	The changes in the derivative liability related to the conversion feature are as follows:
			31-Mar-14			31-Dec-13
	Balance, beginning of the period	$	2,883,987		$	-
	Fair value at inception		-			5,741,520
	Change in fair value of derivative liability including
	foreign exchange		5,747,376			(2,907,533	)
	Balance, end of the period	$	8,581,363		$	2,833,987
	With the conversion feature initially being valued at $5,741,520, the resulting residual value allocated to the host debentures was $3,975,480, being the difference between the face value of the convertible debentures and the fair value of the conversion feature derivative liability.
	The change in the convertible debentures is as follows:
			31-Mar-14			31-Dec-13
	Balance, beginning of the year	$	4,642,620		$	-
	Discounted convertible debentures		-			3,975,480
	Amortization of discount		520,580			811,327
	Foreign exchange		(176,536	)		(144,187	)
	Balance, end of the period	$	4,986,664		$	4,642,620
	During the period ended March 31, 2014, in addition to the amortization of the discount on the convertible debenture, the Company incurred interest expense of $45,717 (March 31, 2013 - $Nil) based on the 2% per annum stated interest rate for a total interest expense of $566,297 (March 31, 2013 - $Nil).
	Loan Payable
	On January 1, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to secure a $10,000,000 loan (the “Loan”). The Loan was provided by members of the Clay family, who are shareholders of the Company, including $7,500,000 provided by an investment vehicle managed by Thomas M. Clay, a Director and insider of the Company. The Loan has a twelve-month term and bears an annual interest rate of 5%, payable on the maturity date. If the Loan is repaid on a date that is less than 183 days before the maturity date, the Company will pay the Lenders an amount of 105% of the principal amount plus interest on the principal amount at the rate of 5% per annum accrued to the date the Loan is repaid.
	The outstanding balance will be immediately due and payable by the Company on the earlier of the maturity date, the first date during the term on which a financing over $15,000,000 is completed and the occurrence of an event of default. As at March 31, 2014, the value of the prepayment option has not met the recognition criteria under contingencies and therefore has not been recorded in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

	8.      Derivative Liability – Options and Warrants
	As at January 1, 2009, the date on which the guidance of ASC 815-40-15 became effective for the Company, the Company’s stock options and warrants met the criteria of a derivative instrument liability because they were exercisable in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company and thus did not meet the “fixed-for-fixed” criteria of that guidance. As a result, the Company was required to separately account for the stock options and warrants as derivative instrument liabilities recorded at fair value and marked-to-market each period with the changes in the fair value each period charged or credited to income.
	During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued a total of 200,000 stock options that were treated as a derivative liability and in total 1,220,000 stock options were exercised during the year. Upon exercise of the options, the portion of the derivative liability that pertained to these options was re-measured and recorded at its fair value of $910,054, subsequent to which it was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. The Company measured the fair value of the derivative liability pertaining to the options exercised using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following range of assumptions: expected volatility – 82.54% - 105.67%, expected life – 0.39 – 0.78 years, risk-free discount rate – 0.97% - 1.32%, dividend yield – 0.00% .
	On December 23, 2013, the Board of the Company passed a resolution to convert the exercise prices of granted stock options to US dollars, being the functional currency of the Company. As a result of this change, the derivative liability no longer exists. In accordance with Accounting Standard 815-40-35, the Company marked the derivative liability to market and recorded the change in fair value of the derivative liability in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The resulting balance was reclassified to additional paid-up capital. In accordance with the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) guidance, the reclassification was completed at the exchange rates at the grant date of the stock options. The difference between the current foreign exchange rate and the grant date exchange rate was included in the change in fair value of the derivative liability in the profit and loss statement. The total amount reclassified to equity was $338,016.
	During the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no warrants treated as derivative liabilities.
	The changes of derivative liability for options and warrants are as follows:
				March 31,		December 31,
				2014		2013
