	1. Basis of Presentation
	The Company has had no revenues from operations since inception and as at September 30, 2014 had a deficit of $75,987,948 (December 31, 2013 - $65,975,612) and working capital of $75,109,839 (December 31, 2013 – surplus of $3,585,305).
	On June 9, 2014, the Company announced that it entered into an agreement (the “JV”) with Gauss LLC (“Gauss”) for 50% interest in the Project. On September 9, 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved the JV, which then closed on September 15, 2014. Pursuant to the JV, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Golden Queen Mining Co., Inc. (“GQM Inc.”) was converted into a limited liability company, GQ California. On closing of the JV, Gauss invested $110,000,000 into GQ California and received 110,000 newly created membership units of GQ California to give it 50% ownership, with the Company retaining 50% interest in GQ California through its newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary GQ Holdco. Please refer to Note 6 for complete details on the JV.
	The funds received from Gauss’ investment will help the Company move the Project through the development stage and into the production phase.
	The ability of the Company to obtain financing for its ongoing activities and thus maintain solvency, or to fund its attributable portion of capital requirements under the joint venture), 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. Golden Queen has an outstanding loan in the amount of $10,000,000 plus accrued interest that will come due in January 2015. Golden Queen, on a non-consolidated basis, currently does not have sufficient cash to be able to meet this commitment. The Company is in negotiations to refinance the loan. 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.

	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 nine month period ended September 30, 2014:

	Options exercisable, September 30, 2014	750,000	$1.29
	During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized $87,769 and $279,917 (Three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 - $378,228 and $378,228) 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 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%

	The total intrinsic value of 530,000 options exercised during 2014 was approximately $678,494 (December 31, 2013 - $881,816).
	The unamortized compensation expense as at September 30, 2014 was $46,245 (December 31, 2013 - $325,158 ; September 30, 2013 - $418,682).

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 September 30, 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.
	Compliance with Environmental Regulations
	The Company’s exploration and development activities are subject to laws and regulations controlling not only the exploration and mining of mineral properties, but also the effect of such activities on the environment. Compliance with such laws and regulations may necessitate additional capital outlays or affect the economics of a project, and cause changes or delays in the Company’s activities.
	Mine Development Commitments
	GQ California has entered into contracts for construction totalling approximately $3.6 million as of September 30, 2014, of which $0.7 million had been paid as of September 30, 2014. The major commitments relate to the construction of the assay laboratory for $1.2 million and work related to the water supply and water storage for $1.3 million. The commitments are expected to be paid out as $2.5 million in 2014 and $0.4 million in 2015.
	GQ California also had a commitment of $4.2 million for the high pressure grinding roll (HPGR) as of September 30, 2014. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, GQ California made two payments totaling approximately $1.9 million. GQ California expects to make another payment of approximately $0.7 million in 2014 and the remaining payments will be made in 2015.
	In addition, GQ California committed, as of September 30, 2014, to approximately $1.1 million for a water truck and a motor grader. The final terms of the mobile equipment financing were not known as of September 30, 2014. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, the water truck was delivered to site. Shortly after receiving the water truck, the Company paid $0.1 million, which represents the sales tax and a 10% deposit. The remaining $0.7 million will be financed over 48 months at an interest rate of 2.99% .
	GQ California made approximately $1.8 million in additional construction commitments subsequent to September 30, 2014.

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:
		(i)	Consulting Fees
			For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company paid $42,417 and $126,476 (2013 - $40,047 and $114,570) to Mr. H. L. Klingmann for services as President of the Company of which $13,811 (December 31, 2013 - $47,967 ; September 30, 2013 - $14,763) is payable as at September 30, 2014.
			During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company paid a total of $11,640 and $35,079 (2013 - $12,172 and $19,505) to its three independent directors. The two non-independent directors, Lutz Klingmann and Thomas M. Clay, do not receive directors’ fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013.
		(ii)	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), from a significant shareholder group. 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 September 30, 2014, was $4,085,368 (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% - 1.09%	1.13% - 1.15%
	Expected life of derivative liability	1.07 - 1.32 years	1.57 - 2 years
	Expected volatility	95.87 - 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:
			30-Sep-14			31-Dec-13
	Balance, beginning of the period	$	2,833,987		$	-
	Fair value at inception		-			5,741,520
	Change in fair value of derivative liability including
	foreign exchange		1,251,381			(2,907,533	)
	Balance, end of the period	$	4,085,368		$	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:
			30-Sep-14			31-Dec-13
	Balance, beginning of the period	$	4,642,620		$	-
	Discounted convertible debentures		-			3,975,480

	Foreign exchange		(275,435	)		(144,187	)
	Balance, end of the period	$	6,146,479		$	4,642,620
	During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, in addition to the amortization of the discount on the convertible debenture, the Company incurred interest expense of $45,543 and $137,059, (September 30, 2013 - $29,899 and $29,899) based on the 2% per annum stated interest rate for a total interest expense of $711,220 and $1,916,353 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 (September 30, 2013 - $348,821 and $348,821).
		(iii)	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.
			The Loan will be repaid on a date that is less than 183 days before the maturity date As a result, the Company will pay the Lenders a prepayment penalty in the amount that is equivalent to 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 estimated $500,000 finance charge, included in the $867,123 interest payable balance, represents the prepayment penalty to the Lenders.

			The interest expense and prepayment finance charge of $126,027 (2013 - $Nil) and $867,123 (2013 - $Nil) has been accrued on this loan three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and is included in interest payable as at September 30, 2014.
		(iv)	Advance
			In July 2014, GQM Inc. entered into a $10,000,000 short-term advance agreement (the “Advance”) with Leucadia and Auvergne (together with Leucadia, the “Lenders”), with the Company as guarantor. Leucadia provided $6,500,000 of the loan and Auvergne provided $3,500,000. The Advance had an interest rate of 10.0% per annum, compounded monthly. Auvergne is an investment vehicle managed by Thomas M. Clay, a Director and insider of the Company. On closing of the joint venture transaction on September 15, 2014, GQ California applied part of the investment of $110,000,000 to repayment of principal and accrued interest on the $10,000,000 bridge loan advanced by the Lenders in July 2014. GQ California paid $209,607 in interest payment, including $73,632 paid to Auvergne on the July 2014 Advance, of which $45,264 was capitalized to mineral property interests.
		(v)	Amortization of Discount and Interest Expense
			The following summarizes the capitalized amortization of discount and interest expense as at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
				30-Sep-14			31-Dec-13

		Less: Interest costs capitalized		(1,829,540	)		-
		Amortization of discount and interest expensed	$	1,163,543		$	-
		(vi)	Joint Venture Transaction
			On September 15, 2014, the Company closed the JV with Gauss resulting in both parties owning 50% interest in the Project. Pursuant to the JV, Golden Queen converted its wholly-owned subsidiary GQM Inc., the entity developing the Project, into a California limited liability company named Golden Queen Mining Company, LLC, “GQ California”. On closing of the transaction, Gauss acquired 50% of GQ California by investing $110 million cash in exchange for newly issued membership units of GQ California. GQ Holdco, a newly incorporated subsidiary of the Company, holds the other 50% of GQ California.
			Gauss is a funding vehicle owned by entities controlled by Leucadia National Corporation (NYSE: LUK) (“Leucadia”) and certain members of the Clay family, a shareholder group which collectively owned approximately 27%, at the time of the transaction, of the issued and outstanding shares of Golden Queen (the “Clay Group”). Gauss is owned 67.5% by Gauss Holdings LLC (“Gauss Holdings”, Leucadia’s investment entity) and 32.5% by Auvergne LLC (“Auvergne”, the Clay Group’s investment entity). Pursuant to the transaction, Leucadia was paid a transaction fee of $2,000,000 and $275,000 was paid to Auvergne through GQ California. The Company has adopted an accounting policy of expensing transaction costs.
			Variable Interest Entity
			In accordance with ASC 810-10-30, the Company has determined that GQ California meets the definition of a VIE and that the Company is part of a related party group that, in its entirety, would meet the definition of a primary beneficiary. Although no individual variable interest holder individually meets the definition of a primary beneficiary in the absence of the related party group, Golden Queen has determined it is considered the member of the related party group most closely associated with GQ California. As a result, the Company has consolidated 100% of the accounts of GQ California in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, while presenting a non-controlling interest portion representing the 50% interest in GQ California of Gauss on its balance sheet. A portion of the non- controlling interest has been presented as temporary equity on the Company’s balance sheet representing the initial fair value of the non-controlling interest that could potentially be redeemable by Gauss in the future.
			Non-Controlling Interest
			In accordance with ASC 810, the Company has presented Gauss’ ownership in GQ California as a non- controlling interest amount on the balance sheet within the equity section. However, the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLC Agreement”) contains terms within Section 12.5 that provides terms for the exit from the investment in GQ California for a member whose interest in GQ California becomes less than 20%. The following is a summary of the terms of the clause:
			Pursuant to Section 12.5, if a member becomes less than 20% interest holder, its remaining unit interest will (ultimately) be terminated through one of three events. At the non-diluted member’s option within 60 days of the of the diluted member’s interest dropping below 20% (the “triggering event”):
		a.	Through conversion to a net smelter royalty (“NSR”) (in which case the conversion ratio is based on a pro rata percentage, determined on a linear basis, based on the following: 0 - 20% membership interest translates to 0 - 5% NSR) obligation of GQ California;
		b.	Through a buy-out (at fair value) by the non-diluted member; or
		c.	Through a sale process by which the diluted member’s interest is sold
		•	If such sale process does not result in a binding offer acceptable to the non- diluted member within six months after the election by the non-diluted member, the sale process terminates and the non-diluted member has 15 days to choose between (a) and (b).
	If the non-diluted member does not make an election pursuant to the above within 60 days, the diluted member may choose (a) or (b) above. If no election is made by the diluted member, option (a) is deemed to have been elected.
			This clause in the JV constitutes contingent redeemable equity as outlined in Accounting Series Release No. 268 (“ASR 268”) and has been classified as temporary equity.
		The carrying value of the temporary equity is calculated using the guidance provided in ASC 480-10- S99 that specifies that the initial measurement of redeemable instruments should be carrying value. The breakdown of the allocation initial value of the temporary equity and the permanent equity is shown below. The 40% of temporary equity represents the amount of redeemable equity within Gauss’ ownership interest in the net assets of GQ California. The remaining 60% is considered permanent equity as it is not redeemable.

Initial fair value of temporary non-controlling interest ( 40%		25,394,637
of total non-controlling interest)
Subsequent to the initial transaction, the carrying value will be adjusted for net income and loss and distributions pursuant to ASC 810-10 based on the same percentage allocation used to value the initial book value of temporary equity.

		Dilution of Interest in Subsidiary
		As a result of the JV transaction, the Company’s interest in GQ California was diluted from 100% to 50% and ordinarily, the Company would recognize a gain on dilution. Since the gain is with a related party, the gain was recorded in additional paid in capital (“APIC”) and calculated as being $46,513,408 :
		15-Sep-14
Investment by Gauss	$	110,000,000
Less:
Initial value of permanent equity		(38,091,955	)
Initial value of temporary equity		(25,394,637	)
Gain on dilution	$	46,513,408
Based on the guidance provided in ASC 810-10-55-4D and -4E, due to the fact the Company retained control, the gain has not been recognized in net income but rather has been recorded in equity as an increase to APIC.
Management Agreement
GQ California will be managed by a board of managers comprising an equal number of representatives of each of Gauss and GQ Holdco. The initial officers of GQ California are Lutz Klingmann as Chief Executive Officer, and Andrée St-Germain as Chief Financial Officer. As long as a member of the Clay family holds greater that 25% of the Company, the Clay Group is entitled to appoint one of the Company’s representatives to the GQ California board of managers. Capital Contribution Agreement
Pursuant to the JV, GQ Holdco will have the right to make a single capital contribution to GQ California of between $15 million and $25 million (the “Top-Up Contribution”), with each such threshold to be reduced by 50% of the amount of any proceeds received by GQ California from any debt financing transaction . Pursuant to the JV Agreement, if the Company (through GQ Holdco) makes the Top-Up Contribution, Gauss is committed to fund an amount equal to the Top-Up Contribution to GQ California, and the aggregate amount of such contributions are anticipated to provide GQ California with the necessary funds to fully develop the Project. If the Company does not make the Top-Up Contribution, Gauss will be obligated to make up to a $40 million capital contribution to GQ California, in which case GQ Holdco’s ownership interest in GQ California will be diluted and GQ Holdco will surrender one of its board seats in GQ California.
Standby Commitment
Golden Queen also entered into a backstop guarantee agreement with Gauss (the “Backstop Agreement”) whereby, if the Company conducts a rights offering, Gauss has agreed to purchase, upon the terms set forth in the Backstop Agreement, any common shares which have not been acquired pursuant to the exercise of rights under the Rights Offering at a purchase price to be determined but not to exceed $1.10 per common share, up to a maximum amount of $45 million in the aggregate. In consideration for entering into the Backstop Agreement, on closing of the Joint Venture, the Company paid Leucadia and Auvergne a standby guarantee fee of $2,250,000, of which $731,250 was paid to Auvergne.
		The Transaction Agreement and Backstop Agreement contemplated that the Company would file a registration statement in connection with the rights offering by October 15, 2014, however, the Company is conducting a full review of available financing alternatives, and as a result, whether the Company will proceed with a possible rights offering (if any), and the size of any such rights offering, is not known at this time. The Company will not be subject to additional fees or expenses as a result of not filing a registration statement in connection with a rights offering.

Derivative Liability Options and Warrants [Text Block]	' 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no warrants treated as derivative liabilities.
