| Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies | ||
| Nature of business and principles of consolidation: | |||
| The accompanying Condensed Financial Statements of Tara Gold Resources Corp. (“Tara Gold” or the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed, except as noted below. | |||
| Tara Gold was incorporated on October 14, 1999 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Westnet Communication Group. By special resolution of the shareholders, Westnet Communication Group changed its name to Tara Gold Resources, Corp. on February 9, 2006. | |||
| In May 2005, Tara Gold, through its subsidiary Corporacion Amermin S.A. de C.V. (“Amermin”), began acquiring mining properties in Mexico. In May 2006, Tara Gold formed Firma Holdings Corp. (“Firma Holdings”), formerly known as Tara Minerals Corp. Tara Gold's operations in Mexico were conducted through Amermin and Firma Holdings' Mexico subsidiaries, since Mexican law provides that only Mexican corporations are allowed to own mining properties. All of Tara Gold's operations in Mexico were conducted through its Mexican subsidiaries. | |||
| In December 2014, the Company discontinued Amermin and sold its interest in the common stock of Amermin for $100 to an independent third party in Mexico. | |||
| On May 25, 2011, Tara Gold commenced distributing its shares of Firma Holdings to its shareholders by distributing one share of Firma Holdings for every 20 outstanding shares of Tara Gold. In November 2014 the Board of Directors of the Company approved the final dividend of its ownership in Firma Holdings to be issued and concurrently made application with FINRA on the distribution. Final execution of the dividend occurred in February 2015. After the distribution the Company had neither interest in the assets nor any obligation for any liabilities of Firma Holdings. As the Directors approval and FINRA application were both made in November 2014, the Company has deconsolidated Firma Holdings and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014. | |||
| In these financial statements, unless otherwise indicated, all references to "Company," "we," "our," and/or "us," refer to Tara Gold. | |||
| The 2015 financial statements represent the standalone financial statements of the Company except for the presentation of discontinued operations of its former subsidiary Amermin, and the deconsolidation of Firma Holdings. The 2014 consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries except for the presentation of its former subsidiary Amermin. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation as applicable. | |||
| The accompanying condensed financial statements and the related footnote information are unaudited. In the opinion of management, they include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed balance sheets of the Company as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the condensed results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 and the condensed statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. | |||
| The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Amermin and any Mexican subsidiary is the Mexican Peso. As a result, the financial statements of these subsidiaries have been re-measured from Mexican pesos into U.S. dollars using (i) current exchange rates for monetary asset and liability accounts, (ii) historical exchange rates for non-monetary asset and liability accounts, (iii) historical exchange rates for revenues and expenses associated with non-monetary assets and liabilities, and (iv) the weighted average exchange rate of the reporting period for all other revenues and expenses. In addition, foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from U.S. dollar denominated transactions are eliminated. The resulting re-measurement gain (loss) is recorded to other comprehensive gain (loss). | |||
| Current and historical exchange rates are not indicative of what future exchange rates will be and should not be construed as such. | |||
| Relevant exchange rates used in the preparation of the financial statements for Amermin and any of Firma Holdings Mexican subsidiaries are as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The company had no foreign operations in 2015. | |||
| Mexican pesos per one U.S. dollar: | |||
| 31-Mar-14 | |||
| Current exchange rate | Ps. | 13.0841 | |
| Weighted average exchange rate for the three months ended | Ps. | 13.2339 | |

| Reclassifications | |||
| Certain reclassifications, which have no effect on net loss, have been made in the prior period financial statements to conform to the current year presentation, specifically the 2014 presentation of discontinued operation for Amermin on the statement of operations. | |||
| Estimates | |||
| The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management routinely makes judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||
| Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance | |||
| Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC, did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial position, results of operations or cash flows. | |||

| Going Concern [Abstract] | ||
| Going Concern | Note 2. | Going Concern |
| The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has not begun generating revenue, has experienced recurring net operating losses, had a net operating loss of $25,499 and $713,582 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and a working capital deficiency of $51,867 at March 31, 2015. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will need to raise a substantial amount of capital in order to continue its business plan. Management intends to initiate their business plan in 2015. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty. | ||
