Organization and Description of Business [Abstract]
ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Desert Hawk Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on November 5, 1957, in the State of Idaho as Lucky Joe Mining Company. On July 17, 2008, the Company merged with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lucky Joe Mining Company, a Nevada corporation, for the sole purpose of effecting a change in domicile from the State of Idaho to the State of Nevada. Lucky Joe Mining Company (Nevada) was the continuing and surviving corporation, each outstanding share of Lucky Joe Mining Company (Idaho) was converted into one outstanding share of Lucky Joe Mining Company (Nevada). On April 3, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the State of Nevada changing the name of the Company to Desert Hawk Gold Corp. On June 30, 2014, the Company dissolved its sole subsidiary, Blue Fin Capital, Inc. As a result, the Company has no subsidiaries. The Company never successfully generated any revenue and eventually abandoned the mining business, remaining dormant until it recommenced its mining activities on May 1, 2009. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company entered into Joint Venture Agreements with the Clifton Mining Company, the Woodman Mining Company and the Moeller Family Trust for the lease of certain of their property interests in the Gold Hill Mining District of Utah. In 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with DMRJ Group, (a Platinum Partners related entity), which allowed for long term funding of the Kiewit project and helped to provide cash flow for operations during the period from 2009 until 2014 while the permitting process was ongoing. The final permit needed to begin development of the Kiewit property was received in January 2014 and development began in February 2014. Construction at the site was substantially complete at September 30, 2014. Revenue from the heap leach operation began in October 2014 with the first sales of gold concentrate. Production commenced and revenues of approximately $6,000,000 from sales of gold concentrate have been received through December 31, 2017. Ongoing undercapitalization has continued to hamper the Company’s ability to operate. Subsequent to year end, on March 8, 2018, the Company successfully finalized an agreement with the trustees of DMRJ Group which eliminated the note and interest payable to DMRJ in exchange for $625,000. In addition, all outstanding shares of preferred stock were retired and cancelled. See Notes10 and 15. The Company has been temporarily shut down due to this development since third quarter of 2017 and is seeking further capitalization to be able to resume production in 2018.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. Accounting Method The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accounting for Stock Options and Stock Awards Granted to Employees and Nonemployees The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees as required by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements include those assumed in estimating gold ounces in inventories, the recoverability of the cost of mining claims, asset retirement obligation, stock-based compensation, determination of the fair value of common stock issued, deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior periods’ amounts to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows previously reported. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Inventories The recovery of gold from certain oxide ores is achieved through the heap leaching process. Under this method, mineralized material is placed on a leach pad where it is treated with a chemical solution, which dissolves the gold contained in the material. The resulting “pregnant” solution is further processed in a plant where gold is recovered. The Company records ore on leach pad, solution in carbon columns in process and gold doré, at average production cost per gold ounce, less provisions required to reduce inventory to net realizable value. Production costs include the cost of mineralized material processed; direct and indirect materials and consumables; direct labor; repairs and maintenance; utilities; amortization of property, equipment, and mineral properties; and mine administrative expenses. Revenue from the sale of silver is accounted for as by-product and is deducted from production costs. Costs are removed from ore on leach pads as ounces are recovered, based on the average cost per recoverable ounce of gold on the leach pad. Estimates of recoverable gold on the leach pad are calculated from the quantities of material placed on the leach pad (measured tons added to the leach pad), the grade of material placed on the leach pad (based on assay data) and an estimated recovery percentage (based on ore type). The nature of the leaching process inherently limits the ability to precisely monitor inventory levels. As a result, actual gold ounces recovered are regularly monitored and estimates are refined based on actual results over time. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had a limited operating history and actual results only over a short period of time. Due to this, estimates of recoverable gold are based primarily on initial tests with only limited refinements. Variations between actual and estimated quantities resulting from changes in assumptions and estimates that do not result in write-downs to net realizable value are accounted for on a prospective basis. The ultimate recovery of gold from a leach pad will not be known until the leaching process is concluded. The quantification of material inventory on the leach pad is based on estimates of the quantities of gold, at each balance sheet date that the Company expects to recover during the next 12 to 18 months. See Note 4. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. The Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets to their respective carrying amounts. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Replacements and betterments that extend the useful life of the property and equipment are capitalized. The cost and related reserves of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations. See Note 5. Mineral Properties and Leases The Company capitalizes costs for acquiring mineral properties and ongoing mineral lease payments and expenses costs to maintain mineral rights. Upon reaching the production stage, the capitalized costs are amortized using the units-of-production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves. Mineral properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and any subsequent losses are charged to operations at the time of impairment. If a property is abandoned or sold, its capitalized costs are charged to operations. Mine property costs include the building of infrastructure of the processing facility including the heap leach pad and the carbon in column process plant along with water wells, roads and fencing. These costs are capitalized until ready for their intended use at which time they are amortized using the units of production method based on projected units of production which approximates the estimated life of the facility. Additionally, interest is capitalized to mine development until such assets are ready for their intended use. The Company does not have proven and probable reserves at this time. See Note 6. Mineral Exploration and Development Costs The Company accounts for mineral exploration and development costs in accordance with ASC Topic 930 Extractive Activities - Mining Provision for Taxes Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC Topic 740- Income When applicable, the Company will recognize a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at December 31, 2017 or 2016. See Note 12. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, common stock equivalents outstanding are as follows: December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Convertible debt 3,728,886 1,878,511 Convertible preferred stock 47,211,002 47,211,002 Total 50,939,888 49,089,513 However, the diluted earnings per share are not presented because its effect would be anti-dilutive. 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. Reclamation and Remediation The Company’s operations have been, and are subject to, standards for mine reclamation that have been established by various governmental agencies. The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which the Company incurs a legal obligation for the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. A corresponding asset is also recorded and depreciated over the life of the asset. After the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the liability is adjusted when there are changes in the estimated future cash flows due to change in estimated costs or change in time until reclamation will commence. Determination of any amounts recognized upon adoption is based upon numerous estimates and assumptions, including future retirement costs, future inflation rates and the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rates. For non-operating properties, the Company accrues costs associated with environmental remediation obligations when it is probable that such costs will be incurred and they are reasonably estimable. Such costs are based on management’s estimate of amounts expected to be incurred when the remediation work is performed. Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments include cash, reclamation bonds, short-term note payable – related parties, notes payable – equipment, obligation under capital lease – related party, notes payable – related party, and convertible debt – related parties. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Fair Value Measurements The Company discloses the following information for each class of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value: 1. the fair value measurement; 2. the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall, segregating fair value measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3); 3. for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: a. total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earnings are reported in the statement of operations; b. the amount of these gains or losses attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets or liabilities still held at the reporting period date and a description of where those unrealized gains or losses are reported; c. purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (net); and d. transfers into and/or out of Level 3. 4. the amount of the total gains or losses for the period included in earnings that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date and a description of where those unrealized gains or losses are reported in the statement of operations; and 5. in annual periods only, the valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques, if any, during the period. At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has no assets nor liabilities that require measurement at fair value on a recurring basis. Going Concern As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit incurred through December 31, 2017, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, current liabilities exceed current assets by $3,011,454 at December 31, 2017. 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 in existence. See Note 10 - Note and Interest Payable – Related Party. Although production has begun, it has not yet reached optimum levels. The timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including demand for products, metals market pricing, and the availability of opportunities for expansion through affiliations and other business relationships. Management intends to continue to seek new capital from equity securities issuances to provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth, and fully implement its business plan. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used. New Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 Revenue Recognition, replacing guidance currently codified in ASC 605-10 Revenue Recognition-Overall. The new ASU establishes a new five step principles-based framework in an effort to significantly enhance comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. ASU No. 2015-14 deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 until annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has performed an assessment of the impact of implementation of ASU No. 2014-09, and concluded it will not change the timing of revenue recognition or amounts of revenue recognized compared to how revenue is recognized under current policies. ASU No. 2014-09 will require additional disclosures, where applicable, on (i) contracts with customers, (ii) significant judgments and changes in judgments in determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and the transaction price, and (iii) assets recognized for costs to obtain or fulfill contracts. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). The update modifies the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of implementing this update on the financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The update provides guidance on classification for cash receipts and payments related to eight specific issues. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance and our method of adoption. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The update requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance and our method of adoption. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The update clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will apply the provisions of the update to potential future acquisitions occurring after the effective date. Other 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.

Under the terms of debt agreements (See Note 7), the Company issued a total of 300,000 shares of common stock to the note holders and these shares have been recorded as issued as of November 30, 2017. This issuance was valued at an estimated $0.04 per share ($12,000) which was determined by management to be the fair value of a share of common stock based upon a third-party valuation performed in 2014. The issuance was accounted for as financing expense. 2016 Activity The Company failed to repay the convertible debt loan in full on the November 30, 2016 maturity date. Under the terms of debt agreements (See Note 7), the Company issued a total of 300,000 shares of common stock to the note holders on December 2, 2016. This issuance was valued at an estimated $0.04 per share ($12,000) which was determined by management to be the fair value of a share of common stock based upon a third-party valuation performed in 2014. The issuance was accounted for as financing expense. Preferred Stock The Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorize 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Preferred Stock available for issuance with such rights and preferences, including liquidation, dividend, conversion, and voting rights, as the Board of Directors may determine. Series A Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the rate of one common share for each preferred share converted, subject to adjustment in the event the Company effects a reverse or forward split of its outstanding shares or a reclassification of its common stock. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, 958,033 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding. These shares can be converted into 958,033 shares of common stock. The Company has the right to mandate conversion if its stock has traded on the OTC Bulletin Board or on an exchange at a volume weighted average price per share of not less than $1.40 for each day over a period of 30 consecutive days with average trading volume per day of not less than 50,000 shares. The conversion ratio of the Series A Preferred Stock is determined according to a formula computed by dividing the stated value of the preferred stock, which is designated as $0.70 per share, by the conversion price of the preferred stock, which is $0.70 per share, subject to the following limitations and conditions: ● If the Company issues or sells shares of its common stock, or grants options or other convertible securities which are exercisable or convertible into its common shares, at prices less than the conversion price of its Series A shares, then the conversion price of the Series A shares will be reduced to this lower sale or conversion price. ● The Series A shares may not be converted into common shares if the beneficial owner of such shares would thereafter exceed 4.9% of the outstanding common shares. The Series A shares have the following rights and preferences: ● The holders of the Series A shares are entitled to any dividends declared by the Company. ● In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or a change of control transaction or the sale or lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets without the majority consent of the holders of the Series A shares, the holders of the Series A shares will be entitled to receive ratably an amount of the funds available for liquidation equal to the issue price of the Series A shares plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Any remaining funds available for distribution will be distributed pro rata among the holders of the common stock and the Series A shares assuming conversion of the Series A shares. ● The holders of the Series A shares are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the Series A shares are convertible. The Series A shares vote together with the holders of the common stock, except as provided by law. In addition, so long as the principal or accrued interest on any DMRJ Group loan is outstanding, the Company is prohibited from taking the certain corporate actions without the separate consent of persons owning a majority of the Series A preferred shares. ● The Company has the right to create and issue additional classes or series of preferred shares so long as the new class or series does not have preferences, limitations, or relative rights which are superior or senior to the preferences, limitations and relative rights granted the holders of the Series A shares. ● The holders of the Series A shares have preemptive rights to purchase shares of common stock in any offering by the Company. ● There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Series A shares. Series A-1 and A-2 Each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into that number of shares of common stock equal to (i) for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, ten times the Series A-1 issue price ($0.70) divided by the conversion price for Series A-1 Preferred and (ii) for the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, ten times the Series A-2 issue price ($1.00) divided by the conversion price for such Series A-2 Preferred Stock. The initial conversion price of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is $0.70 per share and the initial conversion price of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock is $1.00. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, there are no shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock outstanding and 180,000 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock outstanding. The Series A-2 Preferred Stock outstanding can be converted into 1,800,000 shares of common stock. The Series A-1 and A-2 shares have the following additional rights and preferences: ● The holders of the Series A-1 and A-2 shares have no preference as to any dividends declared by the Company. ● In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or a change of control transaction or the sale or lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets without the majority consent of the holders of the Series A-1 and A-2 shares, the holders of the Series A shares will be entitled to receive ratably an amount of the funds available for liquidation equal to the issue price of the Series A shares plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Any remaining funds available for distribution will be distributed pro rata among the holders of the common stock and the Series A, A-1 and A-2. ● The holders of the Series A-1 and A-2 shares are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the Series A-1 or A-2 shares are convertible. The Series A-1 and A-2 shares vote together with the holders of the common stock, except as provided by law. In addition, the Company is prohibited from taking the certain actions without the separate consent of persons owning a majority of the Series A-1 and A-2 preferred shares. ● The holders of record of the Series A-1 and Series A-2 shares, voting together as a single class, have the right to elect two directors of the Board, to remove any such directors elected by them and to fill any vacancy caused by the death, resignation or removal of such directors. ● The conversion prices of the Series A-1 and Series A-2 shares are subject to the following limitations and conditions: o If the Company issues or sells shares of its common stock, or grants options or other convertible securities which are exercisable or convertible into the Company’s common shares, at prices less than the conversion price of our Series A- or A-2 shares, except in certain exempted situations, then the conversion price of the Series A-1 and A-2 shares will be reduced to this lower sale or conversion price. o The Series A-1 and A-2 shares may not be converted into common shares if the beneficial owner of such shares would thereafter exceed 4.9% of the outstanding common shares. ● The holders of the Series A-1 and A-2 shares have preemptive rights to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in any offering by the Company. ● There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Series A-1 or A-2 shares.

At December 31, 2017 and 2016, there are 444,530 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding. These shares can be converted into 44,452,969 shares of common stock. The Certificate of Designations for the Series B Preferred Stock allows for the issuance of additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the event the Company issues any common or preferred stock, which would keep the holder’s beneficial ownership of the Company the same as it was prior to the issuance. The Series B shares have the following additional rights and preferences: ● The holders of the Series B shares have rights to any dividends declared by us on an as converted basis. ● In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary the available assets of the Company shall be distributed subject to the following priority: o First, the holders of each share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall receive out of the available assets and prior and in preference to any payment or distribution (or any setting apart of any payment or distribution) of any available assets on any junior securities, an amount per share equal to the Series A, A-1, A-2 and B liquidation preferences. If upon any liquidation, such available assets shall be insufficient to permit the holders of the Series A, A-1, A-2, and B Preferred Stock to receive their full liquidation preference, then such available assets shall be distributed ratably among the preferred holders in proportion to their full liquidation preference each holder is otherwise entitled to receive. o After distribution to the preferred holders of their full liquidation preference, the remaining available assets, if any, shall be distributed ratably among the preferred holders and Common Stock, based on the number of shares of Common Stock held (or deemed held) by each holder assuming all preferred shares had been converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation. ● The holders of the Series B shares are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the Series B shares are convertible. The Series B shares vote together with the holders of the Common Stock, except as provided by law. ● The conversion price of the Series B preferred stock is subject to the following limitations and conditions: o If the Company issues or sells shares of common stock, implement a stock split, or declare a dividend, then the conversion price of the Series B shares will be adjusted. o The conversion price of the Series B shares will be adjusted in the event of a reclassification, exchange, substitution, merger, or consolidation. ● The Company has the right to create and issue additional classes or series of preferred shares so long as the new class or series does not have preferences, limitations, or relative rights which are superior or senior to the preferences, limitations and relative rights granted the holders of the Series B shares. ● The Series B shares also have anti-dilution protection in the case of issuance of any additional shares of common stock or common stock equivalents. DMRJ Group agreed to waive this anti-dilution clause for the shares issued to the convertible debt holders on December 2, 2016. In addition, DMRJ Group agreed to waive its senior secured status on all debt owned by the convertible debt holders. See Note 10.

MINERAL PROPERTIES, INTERESTS AND RECLAMATION BONDS	NOTE 6 – MINERAL PROPERTIES, INTERESTS AND RECLAMATION BONDS Mineral properties and interests as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows: December 31, 2017 2016 Initial lease fee Kiewit, Cactus Mill and all other sites 600,000 600,000 600,000 600,000 Asset retirement costs Kiewit Site 789,026 789,026 Kiewit Exploration 10,780 10,780 Cactus Mill 16,133 16,133 815,939 815,939 1,415,939 1,415,939 Accumulated amortization (301,264 ) (319,457 ) Total $ 1,114,675 $ 1,096,482 The Company holds operating interests within the Gold Hill Mining District in Tooele County, Utah, consisting of 247 unpatented claims, including the unpatented mill site claim, and two Utah state mineral leases located on state trust lands. Annual claims fees are currently $155 per claim plus administrative fees. On January 6, 2014, the Company obtained the final permit necessary to commence construction of the heap leach pad and process facility. On February 20, 2014, the Kiewit reclamation bond in the amount of $1,348,000 was posted with the State of Utah, Division of Oil, Gas and Mining (DOGM). This bond amount included bonding for the Yellow Hammer Small Mine and the Yellow Hammer Exploration sites along with the Herat Exploration site. As such, the reclamation obligation for these sites was absorbed by the new bond. Funds of $92,705 were received in April 2014 by the Company for these refunded reclamation bonds. On July 7, 2016, the Company replaced the $1,348,000 cash reclamation bond with a surety bond in the same amount. A condition of the surety bond was the deposit of 50% of the bond amount ($674,000) into an escrow account with the bonding company. The surety bond carries an annual bonding fee of $40,400 which is expensed as a financing fee. Total reclamation bonds posted at December 31, 2017 and 2016 are $753,054 and $752,754, respectively, which consists of the above escrowed amount along with certificate of deposits held with the state of Utah for the remaining bonds on the property, including exploration bonds. Subsequent to December 31, 2017, the Company became aware that the bonding company had inappropriately released the escrowed funds to another unrelated company. On September 28, 2018, the bonding company redeposited the $674,000 in escrow for the benefit of the Company. Also, during the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with the Clifton Mining Company and the Woodman Mining Company for the lease of their property interests in the Gold Hill Mining District of Utah. Under the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement, the Company is required to pay a 4% net smelter royalty on base metals in all other areas except for production from the Kiewit gold property and a net smelter royalty on gold and silver, except for production from the Kiewit gold property, based on a sliding scale of between 2% and 15% based on the price of gold or silver, as applicable. The Company is also required to pay a 6% net smelter return on any production from the Kiewit gold property. Additionally, if the Company does not place the Kiewit property, the Clifton Shears-Smelter Tunnel property, and the Cane Springs property into commercial production within a three-year period, it is required to make annual non-performance payments to Clifton Mining in the amount of $50,000 per location. In 2014, the Company had not begun commercial production and the payments due on July 24, 2014 were paid and accepted by Clifton Mining for the Clifton Shears and Kiewit properties. Non-performance payments in the amount of $50,000 per year for the Clifton Shears-Smelter Tunnel property were not made by the due dates in 2016 or 2017, but were later paid (in 2017) for each of the two years for the Clifton Shears-Smelter Tunnel property. The Cane Springs property non-performance payment was not made in 2013 and this claim was released back to Clifton Mining at that time. Production at the Kiewit property has since begun. Royalty expense of $9,785 and $75,838 was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. A letter of default on the Clifton Shears properties dated September 19, 2016, was received by the Company with a 30-day period for curing the default. On October 17, 2016, past due royalties of $128,868 and the $50,000 non-performance payments for each of 2015 and 2016 on the Clifton Shears-Smelter Tunnel property were paid to Clifton Mining, who then acknowledged the cure of default.

Asset Retirement Obligation

Asset Retirement Obligation [Abstract]
ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION	NOTE 11 – ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION Mine closure costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. Management estimates costs associated with reclamation of mining properties as well as remediation costs for inactive properties. The Company uses assumptions about future costs, capital costs and reclamation costs. Such assumptions are based on the Company’s current mining plan and the best available information for making such estimates. In calculating the present value of the asset retirement obligation, the Company used a credit adjusted risk-free interest rate of 8% to 10% and projected mine lives of five to 12 years, depending on the site. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions; however, actual amounts could differ from those based on such estimates and assumptions. Changes in the asset retirement obligation for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows: 2017 2016 Asset retirement obligation, beginning of year $ 974,109 $ 901,597 Accretion expense 72,512 72,512 Asset retirement obligation, end of year $ 1,046,621 $ 974,109

Income Taxes [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES There was no income tax provision (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets are as follows: 2017 2016 Deferred tax asset: Net operating loss carryforward $ 5,482,000 $ 7,742,000 Equipment impairment 37,000 61,000 Exploration costs 113,000 233,000 Financing costs 1,000 (16,000 ) Other 76,000 107,000 Total deferred tax assets 5,709,000 8,127,000 Valuation allowance (5,709,000 ) (8,127,000 ) Net deferred tax assets $ - $ - Deferred income taxes arise from timing differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance equal to 100% of the deferred tax assets has been recorded at December 31, 2017 and 2016. On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) resulting in significant modifications to existing law. The Company did not incur any net income tax benefit or provision for the year ended December 31, 2017 as a result of the changes to tax laws and tax rates under the Act. The Company’s net deferred tax asset was reduced by approximately $3.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, which consisted primarily of the re-measurement of federal deferred tax assets from 35% to 21%. A reconciliation between the statutory federal income tax rate and the Company’s tax provision (benefit) is as follows: December 31, December 31, Amount computed using the statutory rate $ (1,387,000 ) (35 )% $ (1,419,000 ) (35 )% Other - - 900 - Impact of change in statutory tax rate 3,805,000 96 % - - Change in valuation allowance (2,418,000 ) (61 )% 1,418,100 35 % Total income tax provision (benefit) $ - -% $ - -% At December 31, 2017, the Company had federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $26.1 million which expire in fiscal years ending 2028 through 2037. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no material uncertain tax positions taken by the Company. It is not anticipated that unrecognized tax benefits would significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Company’s federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2014 through 2017 remain open and subject to examination.

Summary of Significant Accoun_2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2017
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Accounting Method	Accounting Method The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Accounting for Stock Options and Stock Awards Granted to Employees and Nonemployees	Accounting for Stock Options and Stock Awards Granted to Employees and Nonemployees The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees as required by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements include those assumed in estimating gold ounces in inventories, the recoverability of the cost of mining claims, asset retirement obligation, stock-based compensation, determination of the fair value of common stock issued, deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior periods’ amounts to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows previously reported.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Inventories	Inventories The recovery of gold from certain oxide ores is achieved through the heap leaching process. Under this method, mineralized material is placed on a leach pad where it is treated with a chemical solution, which dissolves the gold contained in the material. The resulting “pregnant” solution is further processed in a plant where gold is recovered. The Company records ore on leach pad, solution in carbon columns in process and gold doré, at average production cost per gold ounce, less provisions required to reduce inventory to net realizable value. Production costs include the cost of mineralized material processed; direct and indirect materials and consumables; direct labor; repairs and maintenance; utilities; amortization of property, equipment, and mineral properties; and mine administrative expenses. Revenue from the sale of silver is accounted for as by-product and is deducted from production costs. Costs are removed from ore on leach pads as ounces are recovered, based on the average cost per recoverable ounce of gold on the leach pad. Estimates of recoverable gold on the leach pad are calculated from the quantities of material placed on the leach pad (measured tons added to the leach pad), the grade of material placed on the leach pad (based on assay data) and an estimated recovery percentage (based on ore type). The nature of the leaching process inherently limits the ability to precisely monitor inventory levels. As a result, actual gold ounces recovered are regularly monitored and estimates are refined based on actual results over time. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had a limited operating history and actual results only over a short period of time. Due to this, estimates of recoverable gold are based primarily on initial tests with only limited refinements. Variations between actual and estimated quantities resulting from changes in assumptions and estimates that do not result in write-downs to net realizable value are accounted for on a prospective basis. The ultimate recovery of gold from a leach pad will not be known until the leaching process is concluded. The quantification of material inventory on the leach pad is based on estimates of the quantities of gold, at each balance sheet date that the Company expects to recover during the next 12 to 18 months. See Note 4.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. The Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets to their respective carrying amounts. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Replacements and betterments that extend the useful life of the property and equipment are capitalized. The cost and related reserves of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations. See Note 5.
Mineral Properties and Leases	Mineral Properties and Leases The Company capitalizes costs for acquiring mineral properties and ongoing mineral lease payments and expenses costs to maintain mineral rights. Upon reaching the production stage, the capitalized costs are amortized using the units-of-production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves. Mineral properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and any subsequent losses are charged to operations at the time of impairment. If a property is abandoned or sold, its capitalized costs are charged to operations. Mine property costs include the building of infrastructure of the processing facility including the heap leach pad and the carbon in column process plant along with water wells, roads and fencing. These costs are capitalized until ready for their intended use at which time they are amortized using the units of production method based on projected units of production which approximates the estimated life of the facility. Additionally, interest is capitalized to mine development until such assets are ready for their intended use. The Company does not have proven and probable reserves at this time. See Note 6.
Mineral Exploration and Development Costs	Mineral Exploration and Development Costs The Company accounts for mineral exploration and development costs in accordance with ASC Topic 930 Extractive Activities - Mining
Provision for Taxes	Provision for Taxes Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC Topic 740- Income When applicable, the Company will recognize a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at December 31, 2017 or 2016. See Note 12.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, common stock equivalents outstanding are as follows: December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Convertible debt 3,728,886 1,878,511 Convertible preferred stock 47,211,002 47,211,002 Total 50,939,888 49,089,513 However, the diluted earnings per share are not presented because its effect would be anti-dilutive.
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.
Reclamation and Remediation	Reclamation and Remediation The Company’s operations have been, and are subject to, standards for mine reclamation that have been established by various governmental agencies. The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which the Company incurs a legal obligation for the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. A corresponding asset is also recorded and depreciated over the life of the asset. After the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the liability is adjusted when there are changes in the estimated future cash flows due to change in estimated costs or change in time until reclamation will commence. Determination of any amounts recognized upon adoption is based upon numerous estimates and assumptions, including future retirement costs, future inflation rates and the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rates. For non-operating properties, the Company accrues costs associated with environmental remediation obligations when it is probable that such costs will be incurred and they are reasonably estimable. Such costs are based on management’s estimate of amounts expected to be incurred when the remediation work is performed.
Financial Instruments	Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments include cash, reclamation bonds, short-term note payable – related parties, notes payable – equipment, obligation under capital lease – related party, notes payable – related party, and convertible debt – related parties. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Company discloses the following information for each class of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value: 1. the fair value measurement; 2. the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall, segregating fair value measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3); 3. for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: a. total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earnings are reported in the statement of operations; b. the amount of these gains or losses attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets or liabilities still held at the reporting period date and a description of where those unrealized gains or losses are reported; c. purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (net); and d. transfers into and/or out of Level 3. 4. the amount of the total gains or losses for the period included in earnings that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date and a description of where those unrealized gains or losses are reported in the statement of operations; and 5. in annual periods only, the valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques, if any, during the period. At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has no assets nor liabilities that require measurement at fair value on a recurring basis.
Going Concern	Going Concern As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit incurred through December 31, 2017, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, current liabilities exceed current assets by $3,011,454 at December 31, 2017. 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 in existence. See Note 10 - Note and Interest Payable – Related Party. Although production has begun, it has not yet reached optimum levels. The timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including demand for products, metals market pricing, and the availability of opportunities for expansion through affiliations and other business relationships. Management intends to continue to seek new capital from equity securities issuances to provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth, and fully implement its business plan. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 Revenue Recognition, replacing guidance currently codified in ASC 605-10 Revenue Recognition-Overall. The new ASU establishes a new five step principles-based framework in an effort to significantly enhance comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. ASU No. 2015-14 deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 until annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has performed an assessment of the impact of implementation of ASU No. 2014-09, and concluded it will not change the timing of revenue recognition or amounts of revenue recognized compared to how revenue is recognized under current policies. ASU No. 2014-09 will require additional disclosures, where applicable, on (i) contracts with customers, (ii) significant judgments and changes in judgments in determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and the transaction price, and (iii) assets recognized for costs to obtain or fulfill contracts. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). The update modifies the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of implementing this update on the financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The update provides guidance on classification for cash receipts and payments related to eight specific issues. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance and our method of adoption. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The update requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance and our method of adoption. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The update clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will apply the provisions of the update to potential future acquisitions occurring after the effective date. Other 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.
