1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies: | 1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies: These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the management of New Jersey Mining Company (the Company) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Companys management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim consolidated financial statements have been included. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company's financial position and results of operations. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2016. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Companys audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Principles of Consolidation At March 31, 2016, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the accounts of our majority owned New Jersey Mill Joint Venture (NJMJV), Golden Chest LLC Joint Venture (GCJV) and GF&H Company. Intercompany items and transactions between companies included in the consolidation are eliminated. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when title and risk of ownership of metals or metal bearing concentrate have passed and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue from the sale of metals may be subject to adjustment upon final settlement of estimated metal prices, weights and assays, and are recorded as adjustments to revenue in the period of final settlement of prices, weights and assays; such adjustments are typically not material in relation to the initial invoice amounts. Revenue received from drilling and exploration contracts with third parties is recognized when the contract has been established, the services are rendered and collection of payment is deemed probable. These services are not a part of normal operations. Income received as the operator of the Companys joint ventures is recognized in the months during which those operations occur. Revenue received from engineering services provided is recognized when services are rendered and collection of payment is deemed probable. These services are not a part of normal operations. Revenues from mill operations and custom milling are recognized in the period in which the milling is completed, concentrates are shipped, and collection of payment is deemed probable. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 financial statement presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on net loss, stockholders equity, or cash flows as previously reported. |

2. Going Concern | 2. Going Concern As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had minimal revenue and a net loss of $190,503 for the first quarter of 2016 as well as an accumulated deficit, negative working capital, and a cash and cash equivalents balance of $11,582 at March 31, 2016. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. However, the Company did put the New Jersey Mill into production in 2015. In the first quarter of 2016 the mill has been maintained with minimal activity as the Company is proceeding with plans to both mine and mill ore from the Golden Chest property starting the second quarter if successful in raising the required startup funds. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue its operations. |

Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when title and risk of ownership of metals or metal bearing concentrate have passed and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue from the sale of metals may be subject to adjustment upon final settlement of estimated metal prices, weights and assays, and are recorded as adjustments to revenue in the period of final settlement of prices, weights and assays; such adjustments are typically not material in relation to the initial invoice amounts. Revenue received from drilling and exploration contracts with third parties is recognized when the contract has been established, the services are rendered and collection of payment is deemed probable. These services are not a part of normal operations. Income received as the operator of the Companys joint ventures is recognized in the months during which those operations occur. Revenue received from engineering services provided is recognized when services are rendered and collection of payment is deemed probable. These services are not a part of normal operations. Revenues from mill operations and custom milling are recognized in the period in which the milling is completed, concentrates are shipped, and collection of payment is deemed probable. |
