	NOTE 1 – Organization

	Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (the “Company”, “we” or “Liberty Star”) was formerly Liberty Star Gold Corp. and formerly Titanium Intelligence, Inc. (“Titanium”). Titanium was incorporated on August 20, 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On February 5, 2004 we commenced operations in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business. Big Chunk Corp. (“Big Chunk”) is our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on December 14, 2003 in the State of Alaska. Big Chunk is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business in the State of Alaska. Redwall Drilling Inc. (“Redwall”) was our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on August 31, 2007 in the State of Arizona. Redwall performed drilling services on the Company’s mineral properties. Redwall ceased drilling activities in July 2008 and was dissolved on March 30, 2010. In April 2007, we changed our name to Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. We are considered to be an exploration stage company, as we have not generated any revenues from operations.

	These consolidated financial statements include the results of operations and cash flows of Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Big Chunk and Redwall, from the dates of acquisition. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated upon consolidation.

	These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) with the on-going assumption that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. However, certain conditions noted below currently exist which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our operations have primarily been funded by the issuance of common stock and debt. Continued operations are dependent on our ability to complete equity financings or generate profitable operations in the future. Management’s plan in this regard is to secure additional funds through future equity financings, joint venture agreements or debt. Such financings may not be available, or may not be available on reasonable terms.

	NOTE 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies

	The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company's consolidated financial statements. Such consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies adopted by the Company are as follows:

	Use of estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

	The valuation of stock-based compensation, classification and valuation of common stock purchase warrants, classification and value of embedded conversion options, value of beneficial conversion features, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, the determination of useful lives and recoverability of depreciable assets, accruals, and contingencies are significant estimates made by management. It is at least reasonably possible that a change in these estimates may occur in the near term.

	Principles of consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Big Chunk and Redwall, from the dates of acquisition, February 5, 2004 and August 31, 2007, respectively. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

	Cash and cash equivalents
	We consider cash held at banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts which, for periods of time, may exceed federally insured limits. At January 31, 2014 and 2013, we had cash in bank deposit accounts that exceeded federally insured limits of $0 and $0, respectively.

	Mineral claim costs
	We account for costs incurred to acquire, maintain and explore mineral properties as a charge to expense in the period incurred until the time that a proven mineral resource is established, at which point development of the mineral property would be capitalized. Currently, we do not have any proven mineral resources on any of our mineral properties.

	Long-lived Assets
	Property and equipment is stated at cost. We capitalize all purchased equipment over $500 with a useful life of more than one year. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while betterments or renewals are capitalized. Property and equipment is reviewed periodically for impairment. The estimated useful lives range from 3 to 7 years.

	We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a long-lived asset group to be held and used in operations is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group. If such asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less the costs of disposal.

	Convertible promissory notes
	We report convertible promissory notes as liabilities at their carrying value less unamortized discounts, which approximates fair value. We bifurcate conversion options and detachable common stock purchase warrants and report them as liabilities at fair value at each reporting period when required in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. When convertible promissory notes are converted into shares of our common stock in accordance with the debt’s terms, no gain or loss is recognized. We account for inducements to convert as an expense in the period incurred, included in debt conversion expense.

	Common stock purchase warrants
	We report common stock purchase warrants as equity unless a condition exists which requires reporting as a derivative liability at fair market value. For common stock purchase warrants reported as a derivative liability, as well as new and modified warrants reported as equity, we utilize the Black-Scholes valuation method in order to estimate fair value.

	Environmental expenditures
	Our operations have been and may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degree by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restoration costs. The likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon us are not predictable. We provide for any reclamation costs in accordance with the accounting standards codification section 410-30. It is management’s opinion that we are not currently exposed to significant environmental and reclamation liabilities and have recorded no reserve for environmental and reclamation expenditures as of January 31, 2014 and 2013.

	Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
	The Company measures and discloses certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Authoritative guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

	Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

	Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

	Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

	Income taxes
	Income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that enactment occurs. To the extent that the Company does not consider it more likely than not that a future tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, if any, are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009.

	Net loss per share
	Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share takes into consideration shares of common stock outstanding (computed under basic loss per share) and potentially dilutive shares of common stock that are not anti-dilutive. At January 31, 2014 and 2013, potentially dilutive instruments were not included in the determination of diluted loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.

	Statement Presentation
	Certain amounts in the prior-year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current-year financial statements.

	Recently issued accounting standards
	There are no recent pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

	The Company is in the exploration stage, has incurred losses from operations, requires additional funds for further exploratory activity and to maintain its claims prior to attaining a revenue generating status. There are no assurances that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties. In addition, the Company may not find sufficient ore reserves to be commercially mined. As such, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

	Management is working to secure additional funds through the exercise of stock warrants already outstanding, equity financings, debt financings or joint venture agreements.

	At January 31, 2014 we held a 100% interest in 99 standard Federal lode mining claims located in the Tombstone region of Arizona. 33 Federal lode mining claims are owned by JABA US Inc, an Arizona Corporation in which two of our directors are owners and 66 Federal lode mining claims belong to Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. At January 31, 2014 we held Arizona State Land Department Mineral Exploration Permits covering 4,126.9 acres in the Tombstone region of Arizona.

	At January 31, 2014 we held an option to explore 26 standard Federal Lode mining claims located in the East Silver Bell region of northwest Tucson, Arizona. The mineral claims are owned by JABA US Inc., an Arizona Corporation in which two of our directors are owners.

	At January 31, 2014 we held a 100% interest in 54 Alaska State mining claims in the Iliamna region of Southwestern Alaska, located on the north side of the Cook Inlet, approximately 200 miles southwest of the city of Anchorage, Alaska (the “Big Chunk Claims”). The transaction for 199 claimstransferred to Northern Dynasty in conjunction with our loan settlement agreement has now closed, and is no longer pending.

	Title to mineral claims involves certain inherent risks due to difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyance history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated titles to all its mineral properties, and to the best of its knowledge titles to all properties are in good standing as of January 31, 2014.

	All of the Company’s claims for mineral properties are in good standing as of January 31, 2014.

	NOTE 7 – Convertible promissory notes

	We issued convertible promissory notes in private placements of our securities to institutional investors pursuant to exemptions from registration set out in Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933.

	On July 15, 2010 we issued a secured convertible promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum compounded monthly (the “Convertible Note”) to Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd (“Northern Dynasty”). During the year ended January 31, 2012 the agreement with Northern Dynasty was amended to issue additional secured convertible promissory notes totaling $730,174 to reimburse Northern Dynasty for assessment work, rental fees, cash in lieu of assessment work and filing fees on the mineral claims that was paid in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012 because we could not come to an agreement on the earn-in option and joint venture agreement with Northern Dynasty. Principal balance of the Convertible Notes at January 31, 2014 and 2013 was $3,730,174. Accrued interest on the Convertible Notes at January 31, 2014 and 2013 was $1,465,059 and $972,617, respectively.

	As part of the transaction noted above, Northern Dynasty could earn a 60% interest in our Big Chunk project in Alaska (the “Joint Venture Claims”) by spending $10,000,000 on those properties over six years. The borrowings from Northern Dynasty could be applied as part of Northern Dynasty’s earn-in requirements. Northern Dynasty’s minimum annual expenditures under the earn-in would be the minimum level necessary to keep the Joint Venture Claims in good standing. Northern Dynasty could elect to abandon the earn-in at any time on 30 days’ notice, so long as sufficient annual labor was performed, or a cash payment in lieu of labor was made, in order to fulfill the annual labor requirements for the Joint Venture Claims for a minimum of 12 months after termination of the earn-in. As of January 31, 2014, no such notice by Northern Dynasty has been received.

	On November 14, 2012, we signed a loan settlement agreement with Northern Dynasty which would have discharged the $3,730,174 principal balance and $972,617 of accrued interest for the 2010 Convertible Note and would have terminated Northern Dynasty’s earn-in rights. In exchange for the settlement, we initiated the transfer of 199 Alaska mining claims to Northern Dynasty’s subsidiary, U5 Resources. However, since a third party filed liens against the claims before the transfer could be completed, we have not recorded the settlement transaction as of January 31, 2014, pending resolution of the lien claims. In March 2014 Liberty Star and Big Chunk entered into a settlement agreement with MBGS, LLC, following a resolution conference conducted in Anchorage, Alaska whereby all Northern Dynasty claims recorded by MBGS, LLC were released. As a result of the claims release by MBGS, LLC, in May 2014 the company completed its loan settlement agreement with Northern Dynasty and discharged the principal balance and accrued interest for the 2010 Convertible Note and terminated Northern Dynasty’s earn-in-rights.

	In August, 2013, we entered into a promissory note (the “August 2013 Note”) for a principal sum of $555,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest and any other fees. The consideration is up to $500,000, which would produce an original issue discount of $55,000 if all the consideration is received. The lender paid $150,000 upon closing pursuant to the terms of the August 2013 Note. The August 2013 Note has a maturity of one year from the delivery of each payment. The August 2013 Note may be convertible into shares of common stock of our company at any time from 180 days after the date of each payment of consideration, at a conversion price which is 70% of the average of the three lowest closing prices in the 20 trading days previous to the conversion. We may repay the August 2013 Note at any time on or before 90 days from the effective date of the August 2013 Note with an interest rate of 0%, after which we may not make any further payments on the August 2013 Note prior to the maturity date without written approval from the lender. If we elect not to repay the August 2013 Note on or before 90 days from the effective date of the August 2013 Note, a one-time interest charge of 12% will be applied to the principal sum. On December 9, 2013, we received additional consideration of $75,000 pursuant to the terms of the August 2013 Note. As of January 31, 2014 we did not repay any portion of the note before 90 days from the effective date, and since the 180 days hadn’t lapsed since the initial payment occurred, the note wasn’t convertible by the holder. As of April 21, 2014, $186,480 had been converted into shares of our Common stock pursuant to the conversion terms of the agreement.

	On November 18, 2013, we entered into a securities purchase agreement, whereby we agreed to issue a convertible note to one lender in the principal amount of $250,000, discounted at issuance to the face value of $225,000. The Note is payable in full on November 18, 2014 and bears no interest except in an event of default. The lender may, at its option, after the 183rd day following the closing date, convert the principal amount or any portion of such principal amount of the Note into shares of common stock of our company at the price equal to the lesser of (a) 100% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP), as reported on the closing date (November 18, 2013), and (b) 70% of the average of the 5 day VWAP immediately prior to the day of conversion. As of January 31, 2014, we have not made any repayments on this convertible note and the note has not been converted.

The options granted were 100% vested for directors and shall vest in 25% immediately and 25% over four years increments on a yearly basis over the next four years for employees. In order to calculate the fair value of stock options at the date of grant, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The volatility used was based on our historical volatility. The expected term was determined based on the simplified method outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Remaining stock option expense to be recognized in future periods related to the award is $40,688.

	The following tables summarize the Company’s stock option activity during the years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013.

	Incentive stock options to employees outstanding at January 31, 2014 are as follows:

	The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated based on the January 31, 2014 stock price of $0.0195 per share.

	We estimate the fair value of option awards on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company uses historical volatility, disregarding identifiable periods of time in which share price was extraordinarily volatile due to certain events that are not expected to recur during the expected term, as its method to estimate expected volatility. The Company used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of stock option grants to employees and non-employees:

	Management has elected to provide a deferred tax asset valuation allowance equal to the potential benefit due to our history of losses. If we demonstrate the ability to generate taxable income, management will re-evaluate the allowance. The change in the valuation allowance of $730,000 and $832,000 in the years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily represents the benefit of the change in net operating loss carry-forwards during the period. As of January 31, 2014, our estimated net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $30,127,508 and will expire beginning in 2025 through 2034.

	Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the ability to utilize net operating losses if a 50% change in ownership occurs over a three year period. Such limitation of the net operating losses may have occurred but we have not analyzed it at this time as the deferred tax asset is fully reserved. We have federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards that are available to offset future taxable income.

	NOTE 13 – Commitments and Contingencies

	We are required to perform annual assessment work in order to maintain the Big Chunk Alaska State mining claims. If annual assessment work is not performed the Company must pay the assessment amount in cash in order to maintain the claims. Completion of annual assessment work in the amount of $400 per ¼ section (160 acre) claim or $100 per ¼ -¼ section (40 acre) claim extends the claims for a one-year period from the staking of claims. Assessment work performed in excess of the required amount may be carried forward for up to four years to satisfy future obligations. The Company estimates that the required annual assessments per year to maintain the claims from 2013 forward will be approximately $19,200. Sufficient assessment work has been performed for Big Chunk to maintain the claims beyond the next labor year.

	The annual state rentals for the Big Chunk Alaska State mining claims vary from $70 to $280 per mineral claim. The rental period begins at noon September 1st through the following September 1st and annual rental payments are due on November 30th of each year. The rentals of $30,640.00, to extend the Big Chunk claims through September 1, 2014 were paid in November 2013. The estimated state rentals due by November 30, 2014 for the period from September 1, 2014 through September 1, 2015 are $30,640.00. Alaska State production royalty is three percent of net income. State law prescribes that after a 3.5 -year exemption from state taxes a metal mine is liable for a 15% state licensing tax on net income from the mine.

	A civil action was pending in the Alaska Superior Court in Anchorage, Alaska, that concerned title to some Alaska state mining claims owned by Big Chunk Corp., a subsidiary of Liberty Star. In that action Big Chunk and Liberty Star requested a judicial determination that certain lien claim notices recorded by a party named MBGS, LLC, against the mining claims were void; and MBGS soughtan order enforcing the lien claims. Liberty Star and Big Chunk filed a motion for summary judgment to invalidate the lien claims. As was anticipated, MBGS opposed this motion. The lien claimswere based on a debt alleged by MBGS to be due from Liberty Star. The existence of this alleged debt was disputed. In March 2014 Liberty Star and Big Chunk entered into a settlement agreement with MBGS, LLC, following a resolution conference conducted in Anchorage, Alaska wherebyall lien claims for the Northern Dynasty transfer were released. As a result of those claims released by MBGS, LLC, in May 2014 the company completed its loan settlement agreement with Northern Dynasty and discharged the principal balance and accrued interest for the 2010 Convertible Note which also terminated Northern Dynasty’s earn-in-rights.

	On June 1, 2011 we rented a warehouse located at Building No. 1, 7900 South Kolb Road, Tucson, Arizona 85706. We rent this warehouse space for $3,645 per month. The lease is in effect until May 31, 2014 with an option to extend for two additional years. In addition to using the warehouse for standard purposes, such as storage of our exploration equipment, supplies and samples, the warehouse space also includes office facilities for the use of field geologists and geotechs.

Fair value of financial instruments [Text Block]

NOTE 14 – Fair value of financial instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, convertible notes payable, notes payable, and warrant liability. It is management's opinion that we are not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. With the exception of the warrant liability, the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values based on their short maturities or for long-term debt based on borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and maturities. Gains and losses recognized on changes in estimated fair value of the warrant liability are reported in other income (expense) as gain (loss) on change in fair value.

We estimate the fair value of the warrant liability using level 3 inputs and the Black-Scholes valuation model. We use historical volatility as a method to estimate expected volatility. At January 31, 2014 and 2013 we had 2,500,000 whole share purchase warrants outstanding that contain a full ratchet down anti-dilution provision which is triggered if we enter into any lower priced issuance than $0.0264 per common share. As a result of these provisions, these warrants are not considered indexed to our common stock and are classified as liabilities under ASC 815. We used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of the warranty liability at January 31, 2014 and 2013:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Jan. 31, 2014
Use of estimates [Policy Text Block]	'

	Use of estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

	The valuation of stock-based compensation, classification and valuation of common stock purchase warrants, classification and value of embedded conversion options, value of beneficial conversion features, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, the determination of useful lives and recoverability of depreciable assets, accruals, and contingencies are significant estimates made by management. It is at least reasonably possible that a change in these estimates may occur in the near term.
Principles of consolidation [Policy Text Block]	'

	Principles of consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Big Chunk and Redwall, from the dates of acquisition, February 5, 2004 and August 31, 2007, respectively. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Cash and cash equivalents [Policy Text Block]	'

	Cash and cash equivalents
	We consider cash held at banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts which, for periods of time, may exceed federally insured limits. At January 31, 2014 and 2013, we had cash in bank deposit accounts that exceeded federally insured limits of $0 and $0, respectively.

Mineral claim costs [Policy Text Block]	'

	Mineral claim costs
	We account for costs incurred to acquire, maintain and explore mineral properties as a charge to expense in the period incurred until the time that a proven mineral resource is established, at which point development of the mineral property would be capitalized. Currently, we do not have any proven mineral resources on any of our mineral properties.

Long-lived Assets [Policy Text Block]	'

	Long-lived Assets
	Property and equipment is stated at cost. We capitalize all purchased equipment over $500 with a useful life of more than one year. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while betterments or renewals are capitalized. Property and equipment is reviewed periodically for impairment. The estimated useful lives range from 3 to 7 years.

	We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a long-lived asset group to be held and used in operations is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group. If such asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less the costs of disposal.
Convertible promissory notes [Policy Text Block]	'

	Convertible promissory notes
	We report convertible promissory notes as liabilities at their carrying value less unamortized discounts, which approximates fair value. We bifurcate conversion options and detachable common stock purchase warrants and report them as liabilities at fair value at each reporting period when required in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. When convertible promissory notes are converted into shares of our common stock in accordance with the debt’s terms, no gain or loss is recognized. We account for inducements to convert as an expense in the period incurred, included in debt conversion expense.

Common stock purchase warrants [Policy Text Block]	'

	Common stock purchase warrants
	We report common stock purchase warrants as equity unless a condition exists which requires reporting as a derivative liability at fair market value. For common stock purchase warrants reported as a derivative liability, as well as new and modified warrants reported as equity, we utilize the Black-Scholes valuation method in order to estimate fair value.

Environmental expenditures [Policy Text Block]	'

	Environmental expenditures
	Our operations have been and may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degree by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restoration costs. The likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon us are not predictable. We provide for any reclamation costs in accordance with the accounting standards codification section 410-30. It is management’s opinion that we are not currently exposed to significant environmental and reclamation liabilities and have recorded no reserve for environmental and reclamation expenditures as of January 31, 2014 and 2013.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities [Policy Text Block]	'

	Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
	The Company measures and discloses certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Authoritative guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

	Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

	Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

	Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Income taxes [Policy Text Block]	'

	Income taxes
	Income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that enactment occurs. To the extent that the Company does not consider it more likely than not that a future tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, if any, are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009.

Net loss per share [Policy Text Block]	'

	Net loss per share
	Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share takes into consideration shares of common stock outstanding (computed under basic loss per share) and potentially dilutive shares of common stock that are not anti-dilutive. At January 31, 2014 and 2013, potentially dilutive instruments were not included in the determination of diluted loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.

Statement Presentation [Policy Text Block]	'

	Statement Presentation
	Certain amounts in the prior-year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current-year financial statements.

Recently issued accounting standards [Policy Text Block]	'

	Recently issued accounting standards
	There are no recent pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
