Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation | ' | |||||
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | ||||||
Pacific Gold Corp. (“Pacific Gold”) was originally incorporated in Nevada on December 31, 1996 under the name of Demand Financial International, Ltd. On October 3, 2002, Demand Financial International, Ltd. changed its name to Blue Fish Entertainment, Inc. On August 5, 2003, the name was changed to Pacific Gold Corp. Pacific Gold is engaged in the identification, acquisition, and development of prospects believed to have gold, vanadium, uranium and tungsten mineral deposits. Through its subsidiaries, Pacific Gold currently owns mining claims, property and leases in Nevada and Colorado. | ||||||
Basis of Presentation | ||||||
These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31. | ||||||
Principle of Consolidation | ||||||
The consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of Pacific Gold Corp., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Nevada Rae Gold, Inc., and Fernley Gold, Inc., and its majority – owned subsidiary, Pacific Metals Corp. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. | ||||||
Reclassification of Accounts | ||||||
Certain accounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. | ||||||
Significant Accounting Principles | ||||||
Use of Estimates and Assumptions | ||||||
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net sales, expenses and costs recognized during the periods presented. Adjustments made with respect to the use of estimates often relate to improved information not previously available. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of consolidated financial statements; accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. | ||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ||||||
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, cash includes cash on hand and cash in the bank. | ||||||
Revenue Recognition | ||||||
Pacific Gold recognizes revenue from the sale of minerals when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured, which is determined when it places a sale order of gold from its inventory on hand with the refinery. | ||||||
Accounts Receivable/Bad Debt | ||||||
The allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for estimated credit losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the receivables portfolio. Management evaluates various factors including expected losses and economic conditions to predict the estimated realization on outstanding receivables. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there was no allowance for bad debts. | ||||||
Inventories | ||||||
Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Costs included are limited to those directly related to mining. There were no inventories as of September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012. | ||||||
Property and Equipment | ||||||
Property and equipment are valued at cost. Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 2 to 10 years. | ||||||
Mineral Rights | ||||||
All mine-related costs, other than acquisition costs, are expensed prior to the establishment of proven or probable reserves. Reserves designated as proven and probable are supported by a final feasibility study, indicating that the reserves have had the requisite geologic, technical and economic work performed and are legally extractable at the time of reserve determination. Once proven or probable reserves are established, all development and other site-specific costs are capitalized. | ||||||
Capitalized development costs and production facilities are depleted using the units-of-production method based on the estimated gold which can be recovered from the ore reserves processed. There has been no change to the estimate of proven and probable reserves. Lease development costs for non-producing properties are amortized over their remaining lease term if limited. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. | ||||||
As per Industry Guide 7, we have no proven or probable reserves. | ||||||
Intangible Assets | ||||||
The Company’s subsidiary Pacific Metals Inc. has acquired a mining claims database which is being amortized over its estimated useful life of ten years using the straight-line method. | ||||||

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ||||||
The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Pacific Gold assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the undiscounted future net cash flows, which depend on estimates of metals to be recovered from proven and probable ore reserves, and also identified resources beyond proven and probable reserves, future production costs and future metals prices over the estimated remaining mine life. If undiscounted cash flows are less that the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recognized based upon the estimated expected future net cash flows from the property discounted at an interest rate commensurate with the risk involved. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value. | ||||||
The fair value of an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The present value of the estimated asset retirement costs is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. For Pacific Gold, asset retirement obligations primarily relate to the abandonment of ore-producing property and facilities. | ||||||
We review the carrying value of our interest in each group of mineral claims owned by our subsidiaries on an annual basis to determine whether impairment has incurred in the claim value. We evaluate the mineral claim values based on one of four criteria; cash flow projection, geological reports, asset sale and option agreements, and comparative market analysis including public market value. Where information and conditions suggest impairment, we write-down these properties to the lowest estimated value based on our evaluation criteria. Our estimate of gold price, mineralized materials, operating capital, and reclamation costs are subject to risks and uncertainties affecting the recoverability of our investment in property, plant, and equipment. Although we have made our best estimate of these factors based on current conditions, it is possible that changes could occur in the near term that could adversely affect our estimate of net cash flows expected to be generated from our operating properties and the need for possible asset impairment write-downs. | ||||||
Where estimates of future net operating cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, we assess if carrying value can be recovered from net cash flows generated by the sale of the asset or other means. | ||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ||||||
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced sale or liquidation. | ||||||
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and income taxes payable approximate fair value due to their most maturities. | ||||||
Fair Value Measurements | ||||||
The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair values based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value is observable in the market. We disclose and categorize each of our fair value measurement items that we recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are: | ||||||
• Level 1—inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Our Level 1 non-derivative investments primarily include domestic and international equities, U.S. treasuries and agency securities, and exchange-traded mutual funds. Our Level 1 derivative assets and liabilities include those traded on exchanges. | ||||||
• Level 2—inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. the Black-Scholes model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies and commodities. Our Level 2 non-derivative investments consist primarily of corporate notes and bonds, mortgage-backed securities, certificates of deposit, certain agency securities, foreign government bonds, and commercial paper. Our Level 2 derivative assets and liabilities primarily include certain over-the-counter options, futures, and swap contracts. | ||||||
• Level 3—inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. Our Level 3 non-derivative assets primarily comprise investments in certain corporate bonds. We value these corporate bonds using internally developed valuation models, inputs to which include interest rate curves, credit spreads, stock prices, and volatilities. Unobservable inputs used in these models are significant to the fair values of the investments. The Company Level 3 derivative assets and liabilities primarily comprise derivatives for foreign equities. In certain cases, market-based observable inputs are not available and the company uses management judgment to develop assumptions to determine fair value for these derivatives. | ||||||
The company does not have assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis. | ||||||
Income Taxes | ||||||
In accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, Pacific Gold recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. Pacific Gold provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not. | ||||||
Loss per Share | ||||||
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the year ended December 31, 2012 potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had 1,879,160,428 of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. | ||||||
Advertising | ||||||
The Company’s policy is to expense advertising costs as incurred. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, the Company incurred $11,515 and $33,787, respectively, in advertising costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, the Company incurred $13,035 and $115,878, respectively, in advertising costs. | ||||||
Environmental Remediation Liability | ||||||
The Company has posted a bond with the State of Nevada in the amount required by the State of Nevada equal to the maximum cost to reclaim land disturbed in its mining process. The bond requires a quarterly premium to be paid to the State of Nevada Division of Minerals. The Company is current on all payments. Due to its investment in the bond and the close monitoring of the State of Nevada, the Company believes that it has adequately mitigated any liability that could be incurred by the Company to reclaim lands disturbed in its mining process. | ||||||
Financial Instruments | ||||||
The Company’s financial instruments, when valued using market interest rates, would not be materially different from the amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements. | ||||||
Convertible Debentures | ||||||
Convertible debt is accounted for under ASC 470, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (BCF) related to the issuance of convertible debt that have conversion features at fixed or adjustable rates that are in-the-money when issued and records the fair value of warrants issued with those instruments. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to warrants and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion features, both of which are credited to paid-in-capital. The Company calculates the fair value of warrants issued with the convertible instruments using the Black-Scholes valuation method, using the same assumptions used for valuing employee options for purposes of following ASC Topic 718, except that the contractual life of the warrant is used. Under these guidelines, the Company allocates the value of the proceeds received from a convertible debt transaction between the conversion feature and any other detachable instruments (such as warrants) on a relative fair value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded as a debt discount or premium and is amortized over the expected term of the convertible debt to interest expense. For a conversion price change of a convertible debt issue, the additional intrinsic value of the debt conversion feature, calculated as the number of additional shares issuable due to a conversion price change multiplied by the previous conversion price, is recorded as additional debt discount and amortized over the remaining life of the debt. | ||||||
The Company accounts for modifications of its Embedded Conversion Features in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt – Modifications and Exchanges, which requires the modification of a convertible debt instrument that changes the fair value of an embedded conversion feature and the subsequent recognition of interest expense or the associated debt instrument when the modification does not result in a debt extinguishment pursuant to ASC 470-50-40, Debt – Modification and Exchanges – Extinguishment of Debt. | ||||||
Derivative Liability Related to Convertible Notes | ||||||
The derivative liability related to convertible notes and warrants arises because the conversion price of the Company’s convertible notes is discounted from the market price of the Company’s common stock. Thus, the number of shares that may be issued upon conversion of such notes is indeterminate, which gives rise to the possibility that the Company may not be able to fully settle its convertible note and warrant obligations by the issuance of common stock. | ||||||
The derivative liability related to convertible notes and warrants is adjusted to fair value as of each date that a note is converted or a warrant is exercised, as well as at each reporting date, using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Any change in fair value between reporting dates that arises because of changes in market conditions is recognized as a gain or loss. To the extent the derivative liability is reduced as a consequence of the conversion of notes or the exercise of warrants, such reduction is recognized as additional paid-in capital as of the conversion or exercise date. | ||||||
Stock Based Compensation | ||||||
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires that the fair value compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized over the employee’s requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of the Company’s stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. There were no stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012. | ||||||
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | ||||||
The Company does not expect the adoption of any other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flow. |

On February 10, 2011, our subsidiary Pilot Mountain Resources Inc. (“PMR”) entered into an Option and Asset Sale Agreement ("Agreement") with Pilot Metals Inc., a subsidiary of Black Fire Minerals of Australia, whereby Pilot Metals secured an option on the Project W Tungsten claims. | ||||||
The basic monetary terms of the Agreement called for Pilot Metals to pay PMR $50,000 for a 100 day due diligence period on the mining claims. The option payment was received on signing the agreement and recorded as income. Within the initial 100 day option period, Pilot Metals had the right to exercise an additional 24 month option on the claims by paying a further $450,000. The right for an additional 24 months option period was exercised and during the 24 month option period, Pilot Metals has conducted physical due diligence work including sampling, drilling and any other work on the claims it deemed necessary.

At any point prior to the conclusion of the 24 month option period, Pilot Metals had the option to exercise an option and election to either purchase 100% of the claims, for $1,500,000, paid as three annual installments of $500,000 each, and an additional $1,000,000 payment on the commencement of commercial mining operations, or elect to enter into a joint venture with Pilot Mountain Resources for the mining claims by paying a further $1,000,000 to PMR paid as two annual $500,000 installments, with each company owning 50% of the joint venture. The payments made to PMR are subject to a 15% royalty to Platoro West, Inc. | ||||||

As part of the decision to exercise the purchase option, the purchaser of the claims, Pilot Metals, agreed to amend the purchase terms to accelerate the ownership of and payment for the claims.

NOTE 10 – OPERATING LEASES | ||||
The Company has leased approximately 440 acres of privately owned land adjacent to its staked prospects from Corporate Creditors Committee LLC, by lease dated October 1, 2003. The Company paid an advance royalty of $7,500 for the first year, which amount is increased by $2,500 in each of the next five years to be $20,000 in the sixth year. For the last four years of the lease, the advance royalty is $20,000 per year. If the lease is renewed, the annual advance royalty is $20,000. The advance royalty is credited to and recoverable from the production rental amounts. The royalty is the greater of a 4% net smelter royalty or $0.50 per yard of material processed. The lease is for 10 years with a renewal option for another 10 years. | ||||
In 2011, Nevada Rae Gold (“NRG”) entered into a lease agreement to lease a 100% interest in 45 mining claims covering approximately 2,000 acres in Lander County, Nevada.

On March 4, 2013, Pacific Gold Corp. (the “Company”) agreed to settle the complaint that was filed in the United States District Court in Newark New Jersey, Case number 2:12-cv-01285-ES-CLW entitled Black Mountain Equities Inc. v. Pacific Gold Corp. The Company agreed to allow Black Mountain Equities to exercise the warrant at issue in the case for a total of 2,200,000 (two million two hundred thousand) shares of Company common stock and Black Mountain Equities agreed to pay $30,000 for the settlement in full of the Company’s legal fees in this matter. The settlement exchange took place on May 14, 2013. | |
On November 6, 2013, Nevada Rae Gold, Inc. was sued by Liberty Mutual for approximately $15,000 in past due insurance premiums in Clark County, Nevada, Case number A-13-690844-C. The Company believes these premiums to be erroneously charged by Liberty Mutual not properly classifying the employees of the Company. The Company is attempting to settle this case in order to avoid significant legal fees. | |
A subsidiary of the Company, Nevada Rae Gold, Inc., has an outstanding tax obligation to the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS has asserted that approximately $280,000 is owed at this time. The IRS has filed a general lien on all the properties of Nevada Rae, and is taking steps to enforce the liens and collect the funds owed. The enforcement actions will include seeking and taking any funds that are in the company’s bank accounts, causing any persons owing funds to Nevada Rea to direct the funds to the IRS, and taking possession of assets of Nevada Rae and selling them. These actions would be disruptive to the operations of the Company and the subsidiary and may impair the ability of Nevada Rae to operate. In that event, Nevada Rae will be unable to generate any revenues and the financial position of the Company will be severely impaired and the Company may have to curtail its subsidiary’s operations or put the subsidiary into receivership. |

Going Concern | ' |
NOTE 14 – GOING CONCERN | |
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $43,755,399, negative working capital of $2,876,832, and negative cash flows from the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $585,387, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company financed its operations through the sale of securities sale of mining claims, and issuance of debt. | |
Management’s plan to address the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern includes obtaining additional funding from the sale of the Company’s securities and establishing revenues. Although management believes that it will be able to obtain the necessary funding to allow the Company to remain a going concern through the methods discussed above, there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful. Should we be unsuccessful, the Company may need to discontinue its operations. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' |
Basis of Presentation | ' |
Basis of Presentation | |
These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31. | |
Principle of Consolidation | ' |
Principle of Consolidation | |
The consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of Pacific Gold Corp., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Nevada Rae Gold, Inc., and Fernley Gold, Inc., and its majority – owned subsidiary, Pacific Metals Corp. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. | |
Reclassification of Accounts | ' |
Reclassification of Accounts | |
Certain accounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. | |
Use of Estimates and Assumptions | ' |
Use of Estimates and Assumptions | |
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net sales, expenses and costs recognized during the periods presented. Adjustments made with respect to the use of estimates often relate to improved information not previously available. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of consolidated financial statements; accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, cash includes cash on hand and cash in the bank. | |
Revenue Recognition | ' |
Revenue Recognition | |
Pacific Gold recognizes revenue from the sale of minerals when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured, which is determined when it places a sale order of gold from its inventory on hand with the refinery. | |
Accounts Receivable/Bad Debt | ' |
Accounts Receivable/Bad Debt | |
The allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for estimated credit losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the receivables portfolio. Management evaluates various factors including expected losses and economic conditions to predict the estimated realization on outstanding receivables. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there was no allowance for bad debts. | |
Inventories | ' |
Inventories | |
Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Costs included are limited to those directly related to mining. There were no inventories as of September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012. | |
Property and Equipment | ' |
Property and Equipment | |
Property and equipment are valued at cost. Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 2 to 10 years. | |
Mineral Rights | ' |
Mineral Rights | |
All mine-related costs, other than acquisition costs, are expensed prior to the establishment of proven or probable reserves. Reserves designated as proven and probable are supported by a final feasibility study, indicating that the reserves have had the requisite geologic, technical and economic work performed and are legally extractable at the time of reserve determination. Once proven or probable reserves are established, all development and other site-specific costs are capitalized. | |
Capitalized development costs and production facilities are depleted using the units-of-production method based on the estimated gold which can be recovered from the ore reserves processed. There has been no change to the estimate of proven and probable reserves. Lease development costs for non-producing properties are amortized over their remaining lease term if limited. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. | |
Intangible Assets | ' |
Intangible Assets | |
The Company’s subsidiary Pacific Metals Inc. has acquired a mining claims database which is being amortized over its estimated useful life of ten years using the straight-line method. | |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ' |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | |
The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Pacific Gold assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the undiscounted future net cash flows, which depend on estimates of metals to be recovered from proven and probable ore reserves, and also identified resources beyond proven and probable reserves, future production costs and future metals prices over the estimated remaining mine life. If undiscounted cash flows are less that the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recognized based upon the estimated expected future net cash flows from the property discounted at an interest rate commensurate with the risk involved. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value. | |
The fair value of an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The present value of the estimated asset retirement costs is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. For Pacific Gold, asset retirement obligations primarily relate to the abandonment of ore-producing property and facilities. | |
We review the carrying value of our interest in each group of mineral claims owned by our subsidiaries on an annual basis to determine whether impairment has incurred in the claim value. We evaluate the mineral claim values based on one of four criteria; cash flow projection, geological reports, asset sale and option agreements, and comparative market analysis including public market value. Where information and conditions suggest impairment, we write-down these properties to the lowest estimated value based on our evaluation criteria. Our estimate of gold price, mineralized materials, operating capital, and reclamation costs are subject to risks and uncertainties affecting the recoverability of our investment in property, plant, and equipment. Although we have made our best estimate of these factors based on current conditions, it is possible that changes could occur in the near term that could adversely affect our estimate of net cash flows expected to be generated from our operating properties and the need for possible asset impairment write-downs. | |
Where estimates of future net operating cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, we assess if carrying value can be recovered from net cash flows generated by the sale of the asset or other means. | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced sale or liquidation. | |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and income taxes payable approximate fair value due to their most maturities. | |
Fair Value Measurements | ' |
Fair Value Measurements | |
The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair values based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value is observable in the market. We disclose and categorize each of our fair value measurement items that we recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are: | |
• Level 1—inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Our Level 1 non-derivative investments primarily include domestic and international equities, U.S. treasuries and agency securities, and exchange-traded mutual funds. Our Level 1 derivative assets and liabilities include those traded on exchanges. | |
• Level 2—inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. the Black-Scholes model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies and commodities. Our Level 2 non-derivative investments consist primarily of corporate notes and bonds, mortgage-backed securities, certificates of deposit, certain agency securities, foreign government bonds, and commercial paper. Our Level 2 derivative assets and liabilities primarily include certain over-the-counter options, futures, and swap contracts. | |
• Level 3—inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. Our Level 3 non-derivative assets primarily comprise investments in certain corporate bonds. We value these corporate bonds using internally developed valuation models, inputs to which include interest rate curves, credit spreads, stock prices, and volatilities. Unobservable inputs used in these models are significant to the fair values of the investments. The Company Level 3 derivative assets and liabilities primarily comprise derivatives for foreign equities. In certain cases, market-based observable inputs are not available and the company uses management judgment to develop assumptions to determine fair value for these derivatives. | |
Income Taxes | ' |
Income Taxes | |
In accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, Pacific Gold recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. Pacific Gold provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not. | |
Loss per Share | ' |
Loss per Share | |
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the year ended December 31, 2012 potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had 1,879,160,428 of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. | |
Advertising | ' |
Advertising | |
The Company’s policy is to expense advertising costs as incurred. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, the Company incurred $11,515 and $33,787, respectively, in advertising costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, the Company incurred $13,035 and $115,878, respectively, in advertising costs. | |
Environmental Remediation Liability | ' |
Environmental Remediation Liability | |
The Company has posted a bond with the State of Nevada in the amount required by the State of Nevada equal to the maximum cost to reclaim land disturbed in its mining process. The bond requires a quarterly premium to be paid to the State of Nevada Division of Minerals. The Company is current on all payments. Due to its investment in the bond and the close monitoring of the State of Nevada, the Company believes that it has adequately mitigated any liability that could be incurred by the Company to reclaim lands disturbed in its mining process. | |
Convertible Debentures | ' |
Convertible Debentures | |
Convertible debt is accounted for under ASC 470, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (BCF) related to the issuance of convertible debt that have conversion features at fixed or adjustable rates that are in-the-money when issued and records the fair value of warrants issued with those instruments. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to warrants and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion features, both of which are credited to paid-in-capital. The Company calculates the fair value of warrants issued with the convertible instruments using the Black-Scholes valuation method, using the same assumptions used for valuing employee options for purposes of following ASC Topic 718, except that the contractual life of the warrant is used. Under these guidelines, the Company allocates the value of the proceeds received from a convertible debt transaction between the conversion feature and any other detachable instruments (such as warrants) on a relative fair value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded as a debt discount or premium and is amortized over the expected term of the convertible debt to interest expense. For a conversion price change of a convertible debt issue, the additional intrinsic value of the debt conversion feature, calculated as the number of additional shares issuable due to a conversion price change multiplied by the previous conversion price, is recorded as additional debt discount and amortized over the remaining life of the debt. | |
The Company accounts for modifications of its Embedded Conversion Features in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt – Modifications and Exchanges, which requires the modification of a convertible debt instrument that changes the fair value of an embedded conversion feature and the subsequent recognition of interest expense or the associated debt instrument when the modification does not result in a debt extinguishment pursuant to ASC 470-50-40, Debt – Modification and Exchanges – Extinguishment of Debt. | |
Derivative Liability Related to Convertible Notes | ' |
Derivative Liability Related to Convertible Notes | |
The derivative liability related to convertible notes and warrants arises because the conversion price of the Company’s convertible notes is discounted from the market price of the Company’s common stock. Thus, the number of shares that may be issued upon conversion of such notes is indeterminate, which gives rise to the possibility that the Company may not be able to fully settle its convertible note and warrant obligations by the issuance of common stock. | |
The derivative liability related to convertible notes and warrants is adjusted to fair value as of each date that a note is converted or a warrant is exercised, as well as at each reporting date, using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Any change in fair value between reporting dates that arises because of changes in market conditions is recognized as a gain or loss. To the extent the derivative liability is reduced as a consequence of the conversion of notes or the exercise of warrants, such reduction is recognized as additional paid-in capital as of the conversion or exercise date. | |
Stock Based Compensation | ' |
Stock Based Compensation | |
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires that the fair value compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized over the employee’s requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of the Company’s stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. There were no stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012. | |

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | |
The Company does not expect the adoption of any other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flow. |

Allocation of costs to undeveloped mineral rights | ' | $10,000 | ' | $10,000 |
Pilot Mountain Resources asset sale agreement | ' | 'On February 10, 2011, our subsidiary Pilot Mountain Resources Inc. entered into an Option and Asset Sale Agreement with Pilot Metals Inc., a subsidiary of Black Fire Minerals of Australia, whereby Pilot Metals has secured an option on the Project W Tungsten claims. The basic monetary terms of the Agreement called for Pilot Metals to pay PMR $50,000 for a 100 day due diligence period on the mining claims. The option payment was received on signing the agreement and recorded as income. Within the initial 100 day option period, Pilot Metals had the right to exercise an additional 24 month option on the claims by paying a further $450,000. The right for an additional 24 months option period was exercised and a payment of $450,000 was received on September 9, 2011. At any point prior to the conclusion of the 24 month option period, Pilot Metals may exercise an option and election to either purchase 100% of the claims, for $1,500,000, paid as three annual installments of $500,000 each, and an additional $1,000,000 payment on the commencement of commercial mining operations, or elect to enter into a joint venture with Pilot Mountain Resources for the mining claims by paying a further $1,000,000 to PMR paid as two annual $500,000 installments, with each company owning 50% of the joint venture. The payments made to PMR are subject to a 15% royalty to Platoro West, Inc. On July 05, 2013, PMR and Pilot Metals agreed to an early exercise of the option to purchase the Project W claims. Ownership of the Project W claims has now been transferred to Pilot Metals, subject to a security interest retained by PMR until the full purchase price is paid. As part of the decision to exercise the purchase option, the purchaser of the claims, Pilot Metals, agreed to amend the purchase terms to accelerate the ownership of and payment for the claims. The initial 3 payments of $500,000 each due September 2013, 2014 and 2015 were amended to two payments, the first paid on July 5, 2013 in the amount of $350,000 and a second payment of $850,000 due on March 31, 2014. | ' | ' |
