Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Note 1-Summary of Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("interim financial statements") of Dakota Territory Resource Corp. ("we", "us", "our", the "Company", "Dakota Territory") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended March 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, have been omitted. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements. Unless otherwise noted, there have been no material changes to the footnotes from those accompanying the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Uncertainties and Economic Development In March 2020, the World Health Organization designated the new coronavirus ("COVID-19") as a global pandemic. Federal, state and local governments have mandated orders to slow the transmission of the virus, including but not limited to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, restrictions on travel, and work restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has resulted in significant volatility in the financial markets. The restrictions put in place by federal, state and local governments could delay our exploratory programs on our mineral properties. Furthermore, the impact of the pandemic on the global economy could also negatively impact the availability and cost of future borrowings should the need arise. It is unknown how long the adverse conditions associated with the pandemic will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the Company. The Company continues to monitor the impact that the pandemic, including relief bills enacted in response thereto, may have on operations. Currently, the Company is unable to determine the impact that the pandemic will have on its financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. Reverse Stock Split On May 13, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock at a ratio of 1-for-4. The reverse stock split was made effective on May 25, 2021 and all share numbers and common stock prices presented give effect to the reverse split. Merger Agreement Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement"), JR Resources Corp. ("JR") will change its name to Dakota Gold Corp. and the Company will merge (the "Merger") into a subsidiary of JR, with shareholders of the Company receiving one share of common stock of JR for each share of common stock of the Company. In addition, at the closing of the Merger, (i) each outstanding option to purchase the Company's common stock, whether vested or unvested, will be assumed and converted into an option with respect to a number of shares of JR common stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement and (ii) any outstanding awards of restricted stock units with respect to shares of the Company's common stock will be assumed and converted into the right to receive an award of restricted stock units representing a right to receive a number of shares of JR common stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement. On or prior to the closing of the Merger, JR will have completed a reverse stock split such that the total number of JR shares will be proportionately reduced to 35,641,667. On or before completion of the Mergers: (i) JR will have changed its name to Dakota Gold Corp.; (ii) JR will have completed a reverse stock split such that the total number of JR shares will be proportionately reduced to 35,641,667 JR shares; (iii) shareholders of Dakota Territory other than JR will receive one share of common stock of JR Resources for each share of common stock of Dakota Territory; (iv) each outstanding option to purchase Dakota Territory common stock, whether vested or unvested, will be assumed and converted into an option with respect to a number of shares of JR common stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement; and (v) each outstanding award of restricted stock units with respect to shares of Dakota Territory common stock will be assumed and converted into the right to receive an award of restricted stock units representing a right to receive a number of shares of JR common stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement. The completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions for a transaction of this nature, including securities law compliance and the approval of the Company's shareholders. Consolidation On April 30, 2021, the Company incorporated Dakota Gold Services (Canada) Corp. ("Dakota Canada") under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. These financial statements consolidate Dakota Canada, a wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated on consolidation. |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related Party Transactions [Text Block] | Note 2-Related Party Transactions The Company engages in related party transactions that involve its officers and directors and/or companies controlled by the officers and directors. Following is an analysis of related party transactions: Mr. Gerald Aberle is the Company's former President, Chief Executive Officer and is currently Chief Operating Officer of the Company. He is also a director and significant shareholder of the Company and the owner of Jerikodie Inc. ("Jerikodie"). Under a February 2012 agreement, Jerikodie earned a fixed consulting fee of $9,000 per month, plus approved expenses. In October 2020, the Company paid Jerikodie $200,000 of the approximate $729,500 owed to it for consulting fees and issued a note payable to Jerikodie for the remaining balance of approximately $529,500 bearing interest at 0.25% per year. On June 1, 2021 the Company and Jerikodie settled debt of $529,544 through the payment of $376,550 and the issuance of 45,563 shares of common stock. Upon settlement, the Company recognized all unamortized debt discount on the note totaling $22,029. The fair value of the consideration paid to settle the note exceeded the carrying amount of the note, resulting in a loss on settlement of $92,045. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, the Company paid Jerikodie $0 and $66,178, respectively (2020 - $27,000 and $54,000, respectively) for consulting fees, in addition to $25,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2021 for a net smelter royalty disclosed below. Effective April 15,2021, Mr. Aberle transitioned from being a consultant to being an employee of the Company and the agreement with Jerikodie was terminated. The Company engaged a Company controlled by a family member of Mr. Aberle, for the purpose of providing general labor and during the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 and incurred $268 and $21,001 in costs, respectively (2020 - $0 and $2,326, respectively). Mr. Richard Bachman is the Company's former Chief Geological Officer ("CGO"). He is also a significant shareholder of the Company and the owner of Minera Teles Pires Inc. ("Minera Teles"). Under an October 2005 agreement that expired in March 2020, Minera Teles earned a $10,000 monthly consulting fee and received $1,500 per month for office rent and expenses. The consulting fee was divided between a $5,000 per month cash payment and a $5,000 per month deferred amount. The Company also owed Mr. Bachman, individually, $305,145 in unsecured loans. These unsecured loans bear interest at rates ranging from 3% to 4% per year and are due on demand. In June 2020, the Company repaid $40,145 of unsecured loans, plus accrued interest totaling $6,095. In October 2020, the Company paid Minera Teles $200,000 for amounts owed for prior services and combined the remaining amount owed of approximately $795,500 with amounts owed under the unsecured loans, including unpaid interest, into a new note in the amount of $1,055,310, bearing interest at 0.25% per year. A payment of $145,000 was made in December 2020. In July 2021, the Company and Mr. Bachman settled debt of $872,578 through the payment of $425,165 in cash and the issuance of 99,049 shares of common stock. Upon settlement, the Company recognized all unamortized debt discount on the note totaling $37,876. The fair value of the consideration paid to settle the note exceeded the carrying amount of the note, resulting in a loss on settlement of $32,476. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, the Company paid $0 and $6,000, respectively (2020 - $9,000 and $18,000, respectively) for consulting fees to WCM Associates, LP, an entity controlled by the Company's former CFO. Messrs. Aberle and Bachman owned a 5% net smelter return royalty on the original 84 unpatented mining claims that comprised the Blind Gold Property. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company extinguished the royalty by paying Messrs. Aberle and Bachman $25,000 each and recognized as exploration expenses. Jonathan Awde was appointed Chief Executive Officer and Gerald Aberle resigned as Chief Executive Officer and was appointed Chief Operating Officer. He is also a director and significant shareholder of the Company. Under a March 2021 agreement, Jonathan Awde earns a fixed consulting fee of $23,750 per month, plus approved expenses. |

Mineral Industries Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Mineral Properties [Text Block] | Note 3-Mineral Properties On September 26, 2012, the Company was re-organized with North Homestake Mining Company and acquired the Blind Gold Property located in the Black Hills of South Dakota. In 2018 and 2019, the Company acquired additional acreage associated with the Company's City Creek Property and the Tinton Gold Camp. In 2020 and 2021, the Company increased the size of the Company's Blind Gold Property, the Tinton Property, the Poorman Anticline Property, the Ragged Top Gold Camp, the West Corridor Property and the City Creek Property through both acquisitions and staking. On October 26, 2020, the Company completed the purchase of the Maitland Gold Property from Homestake Mining Company of California ("HMCC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation ("Barrick"). At closing, the Company paid Barrick $3.5 million cash and issued 750,000 shares of its common stock valued at $1.76 per share, for total consideration of $4.82 million. Additionally, Barrick retained a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty on the property. The 2,112 mineral-acre Maitland acquisition is an important component of the Company's exploration and development strategy for the structural corridor that extends from the Homestake Gold Mine to the Company's Blind Gold Property at the northern end of the Homestake District. On October 14, 2021 the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire the Richmond Hill Property in the Homestake District, South Dakota. Under the terms of the agreement, Dakota Territory has a three-year option to acquire 2,126 acres of surface and mineral rights with attendant facilities. The Company issued 400,000 Shares to Barrick and will make annual Option payments of $100,000 during the option period. The Company may exercise the Option on or before September 7, 2024, by assuming all of the liabilities and bonds associated with the Richmond Hill Property. In addition, on exercise of the option, the Company will issue Barrick an additional 400,000 shares and grant a 1% NSR to Barrick with respect to any gold that may be recovered from the Richmond Hill Property. On September 7, 2021 the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire surface rights and certain residual facilities in the Homestake District, South Dakota from the HMCC. The agreement provides for exclusive access to Homestake's extensive historic data sets which chronicle its 145-year exploration and mining history throughout South Dakota. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has a three-year option to acquire 4,261 acres of surface rights with attendant facilities and data held by HMCC. In consideration for the option, the Company made a cash payment of US$1.3 million and issued 1 million shares of common stock to Barrick and will make annual Option payments of US$300,000 during the Option period.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("interim financial statements") of Dakota Territory Resource Corp. ("we", "us", "our", the "Company", "Dakota Territory") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended March 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, have been omitted. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements. Unless otherwise noted, there have been no material changes to the footnotes from those accompanying the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Uncertainties and Economic Development In March 2020, the World Health Organization designated the new coronavirus ("COVID-19") as a global pandemic. Federal, state and local governments have mandated orders to slow the transmission of the virus, including but not limited to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, restrictions on travel, and work restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has resulted in significant volatility in the financial markets. The restrictions put in place by federal, state and local governments could delay our exploratory programs on our mineral properties. Furthermore, the impact of the pandemic on the global economy could also negatively impact the availability and cost of future borrowings should the need arise. It is unknown how long the adverse conditions associated with the pandemic will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the Company. The Company continues to monitor the impact that the pandemic, including relief bills enacted in response thereto, may have on operations. Currently, the Company is unable to determine the impact that the pandemic will have on its financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. Reverse Stock Split On May 13, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock at a ratio of 1-for-4. The reverse stock split was made effective on May 25, 2021 and all share numbers and common stock prices presented give effect to the reverse split. Merger Agreement Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement"), JR Resources Corp. ("JR") will change its name to Dakota Gold Corp. and the Company will merge (the "Merger") into a subsidiary of JR, with shareholders of the Company receiving one share of common stock of JR for each share of common stock of the Company. In addition, at the closing of the Merger, (i) each outstanding option to purchase the Company's common stock, whether vested or unvested, will be assumed and converted into an option with respect to a number of shares of JR common stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement and (ii) any outstanding awards of restricted stock units with respect to shares of the Company's common stock will be assumed and converted into the right to receive an award of restricted stock units representing a right to receive a number of shares of JR common stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement. On or prior to the closing of the Merger, JR will have completed a reverse stock split such that the total number of JR shares will be proportionately reduced to 35,641,667. On or before completion of the Mergers: (i) JR will have changed its name to Dakota Gold Corp.; (ii) JR will have completed a reverse stock split such that the total number of JR shares will be proportionately reduced to 35,641,667 JR shares; (iii) shareholders of Dakota Territory other than JR will receive one share of common stock of JR Resources for each share of common stock of Dakota Territory; (iv) each outstanding option to purchase Dakota Territory common stock, whether vested or unvested, will be assumed and converted into an option with respect to a number of shares of JR common stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement; and (v) each outstanding award of restricted stock units with respect to shares of Dakota Territory common stock will be assumed and converted into the right to receive an award of restricted stock units representing a right to receive a number of shares of JR common stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement. The completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions for a transaction of this nature, including securities law compliance and the approval of the Company's shareholders. Consolidation On April 30, 2021, the Company incorporated Dakota Gold Services (Canada) Corp. ("Dakota Canada") under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. These financial statements consolidate Dakota Canada, a wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated on consolidation. |
