The Company and Significant Accounting Policies | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the management of Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc (IDR) (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 the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim condensed 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, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2023. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary, the New Jersey Mill Joint Venture (“NJMJV”). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The portion of entities owned by other investors is presented as non-controlling interests on the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. Revenue Recognition Gold Revenue Recognition and Receivables- Sales and accounts receivable for concentrate shipments are recorded net of charges by the customer for treatment, refining, smelting losses, and other charges negotiated with the customers. Charges are estimated upon shipment of concentrates based on contractual terms, and actual charges typically do not vary materially from estimates. Costs charged by customers include fixed costs per ton of concentrate and price escalators. Refining, selling, and shipping costs related to sales of doré and metals from doré are recorded to cost of sales as incurred. See Note 4 for more information on our sales of products. Other Revenue Recognition Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of full cost of production or estimated net realizable value based on current metal prices. Costs consist of mining, transportation, and milling costs including applicable overhead, depreciation, depletion, and amortization relating to the operations. Costs are allocated based on the stage at which the ore is in the production process. Supplies inventory is stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Mine Exploration and Development Costs The Company expenses exploration costs as such in the period they occur. The mine development stage begins once the Company identifies ore reserves which is based on a determination whether an ore body can be economically developed. Expenditures incurred during the development stage are capitalized as deferred development costs and include such costs for drift, ramps, and infrastructure. Costs to improve, alter, or rehabilitate primary development assets which appreciably extend the life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency or safety of such assets are also capitalized. The development stage ends when the production stage of ore reserves begins. Amortization of deferred development costs is calculated using the units-of-production method over the expected life of the operation based on the estimated recoverable mineral ounces. 1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Fair Value Measurements When required to measure assets or liabilities at fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used. The Company determines the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. The categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 uses significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 uses significant unobservable inputs. The amount of the total gains or losses for the period that are included in earnings are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date. At March 31, 2023, the Company had marketable equity securities measured at fair value using level 1 quoted prices, no liabilities required measurement at fair value. At December 31, 2022, the Company had no assets or liabilities that required measurement at fair value on a recurring basis. Accounting for Investments in Joint Ventures and Equity Method Investments Investment in Joint Ventures For joint ventures in which the Company does not have joint control or significant influence, the cost method is used. For those joint ventures in which there is joint control between the parties, the equity method is utilized whereby the Company’s share of the ventures’ earnings and losses is included in the statement of operations as earnings in joint ventures and its investments therein are adjusted by a similar amount. The Company periodically assesses its investments in joint ventures for impairment. If management determines that a decline in fair value is other than temporary it will write-down the investment and charge the impairment against operations. Equity Method Investments At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s percentage ownership and method of accounting for each joint venture and equity method investment is as follows: March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Joint Venture % Ownership Significant Influence? Accounting Method % Ownership Significant Influence? Accounting Method NJMJV 65 % Yes Consolidated 65 % Yes Consolidated Butte Highlands Joint Venture (“BHJV”) 50 % No Cost 50 % No Cost Buckskin Gold and Silver 37 % Yes Equity 37 % Yes Equity Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2023 financial statement presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on net loss, stockholders’ equity, or cash flows as previously reported. Investments in Equity Securities Investments in equity securities are generally measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for equity securities resulting from changes in fair value are recognized in current earnings. If an equity security does not have a readily determinable fair value, we may elect to measure the security at its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment in the same issuer. At the end of each reporting period, we reassess whether an equity investment security without a readily determinable fair value qualifies to be measured at cost less impairment, consider whether impairment indicators exist to evaluate if an equity investment security is impaired and, if so, record an impairment loss. At the end of each reporting period, unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are recognized in current earnings. Upon sale of an equity security, the realized gain or loss is recognized in current earnings. 1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies (continued) New Accounting Pronouncement Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures. |

Going Concern | 2. Going Concern The Company is currently producing from both the open-pit and underground at the Golden Chest Mine. In the past, the Company has been successful in raising required capital from sale of common stock, forward gold contracts, and debt. As a result of its planned production, equity sales and potential debt borrowings or restructurings, management believes cash flows from operations and existing cash are sufficient to conduct planned operations and meet contractual obligations for the next 12 months. |

Joint Venture Arrangements | 6. Joint Ventures New Jersey Mill Joint Venture Agreement The Company owns 65% of the New Jersey Mill Joint Venture (JV) and has significant influence in its operations. Thus, the venture is included in the consolidated financial statements along with presentation of the non-controlling interest. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, an account receivable existed with Crescent Silver, LLC, the other joint venture participant (“Crescent”), for $3,527 and $1,926, respectively, for shared operating costs as defined in the JV agreement. Butte Highlands JV, LLC (“BHJV”) On January 29, 2016, the Company purchased a 50% interest in Butte Highlands JV, LLC (“BHJV”) for a total consideration of $435,000. Highland Mining, LLC (“Highland”) is the other 50% owner and manager of the joint venture. Under the agreement, Highland will fund all future project exploration and mine development costs. The agreement stipulates that Highland is manager of BHJV and will manage BHJV until such time as all mine development costs, less $2 million are distributed to Highland out of the proceeds from future mine production. The Company has determined that because it does not currently have significant influence over the joint venture’s activities, it accounts for its investment on a cost basis. |

Earnings per Share | 7. Earnings per Share Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net amount excluding net income (loss) attributable to a non-controlling interest by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities. Such common stock equivalents are included or excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share for each period as follows: March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022 Three Months Three Months Incremental shares included in diluted net income (loss) per share Stock options 4,710 - Stock purchase warrants - - 4,710 - Excluded in diluted net income (loss) per share as inclusion would have an antidilutive effect: Stock options 535,953 455,386 Stock purchase warrants 289,294 646,410 825,247 1,101,796 |

The Company and Significant Accounting Policies | |
Principles of Consolidation | The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary, the New Jersey Mill Joint Venture (“NJMJV”). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The portion of entities owned by other investors is presented as non-controlling interests on the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. |
Revenue Recognition | Gold Revenue Recognition and Receivables- Sales and accounts receivable for concentrate shipments are recorded net of charges by the customer for treatment, refining, smelting losses, and other charges negotiated with the customers. Charges are estimated upon shipment of concentrates based on contractual terms, and actual charges typically do not vary materially from estimates. Costs charged by customers include fixed costs per ton of concentrate and price escalators. Refining, selling, and shipping costs related to sales of doré and metals from doré are recorded to cost of sales as incurred. See Note 4 for more information on our sales of products. Other Revenue Recognition |
Inventories | Inventories are stated at the lower of full cost of production or estimated net realizable value based on current metal prices. Costs consist of mining, transportation, and milling costs including applicable overhead, depreciation, depletion, and amortization relating to the operations. Costs are allocated based on the stage at which the ore is in the production process. Supplies inventory is stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. |
Mine Exploration and Development Costs | The Company expenses exploration costs as such in the period they occur. The mine development stage begins once the Company identifies ore reserves which is based on a determination whether an ore body can be economically developed. Expenditures incurred during the development stage are capitalized as deferred development costs and include such costs for drift, ramps, and infrastructure. Costs to improve, alter, or rehabilitate primary development assets which appreciably extend the life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency or safety of such assets are also capitalized. The development stage ends when the production stage of ore reserves begins. Amortization of deferred development costs is calculated using the units-of-production method over the expected life of the operation based on the estimated recoverable mineral ounces. |
Fair Value Measurements | When required to measure assets or liabilities at fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used. The Company determines the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. The categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 uses significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 uses significant unobservable inputs. The amount of the total gains or losses for the period that are included in earnings are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date. At March 31, 2023, the Company had marketable equity securities measured at fair value using level 1 quoted prices, no liabilities required measurement at fair value. At December 31, 2022, the Company had no assets or liabilities that required measurement at fair value on a recurring basis. |
Accounting for Investments in Joint Ventures and Equity Method Investments | Investment in Joint Ventures For joint ventures in which the Company does not have joint control or significant influence, the cost method is used. For those joint ventures in which there is joint control between the parties, the equity method is utilized whereby the Company’s share of the ventures’ earnings and losses is included in the statement of operations as earnings in joint ventures and its investments therein are adjusted by a similar amount. The Company periodically assesses its investments in joint ventures for impairment. If management determines that a decline in fair value is other than temporary it will write-down the investment and charge the impairment against operations. Equity Method Investments At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s percentage ownership and method of accounting for each joint venture and equity method investment is as follows: March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Joint Venture % Ownership Significant Influence? Accounting Method % Ownership Significant Influence? Accounting Method NJMJV 65 % Yes Consolidated 65 % Yes Consolidated Butte Highlands Joint Venture (“BHJV”) 50 % No Cost 50 % No Cost Buckskin Gold and Silver 37 % Yes Equity 37 % Yes Equity |
Reclassifications | Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2023 financial statement presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on net loss, stockholders’ equity, or cash flows as previously reported. |
Investments in Equity Securities | Investments in equity securities are generally measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for equity securities resulting from changes in fair value are recognized in current earnings. If an equity security does not have a readily determinable fair value, we may elect to measure the security at its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment in the same issuer. At the end of each reporting period, we reassess whether an equity investment security without a readily determinable fair value qualifies to be measured at cost less impairment, consider whether impairment indicators exist to evaluate if an equity investment security is impaired and, if so, record an impairment loss. At the end of each reporting period, unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are recognized in current earnings. Upon sale of an equity security, the realized gain or loss is recognized in current earnings. |
New Accounting Pronouncement | Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures. |
