Principles of consolidation [Policy Text Block] | ' |
| (a) | Principles of consolidation |
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tierra Grande Resources Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, 0887717 BC Ltd. and Tierra Grande Resources SAC. Equity investments in which we exercise significant influence, but do not control and are not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investments in which we do not exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. |
Use of Estimates [Policy Text Block] | ' |
| (b) | Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to long lived assets, stock-based compensation expense, and deferred income tax asset allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents [Policy Text Block] | ' |
| (c) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. |
Property and Equipment [Policy Text Block] | ' |
| (d) | Property and Equipment |
|
Property and equipment comprised of computer is recorded at cost and amortized over 3 years using the straight line method. |
Basic and Diluted Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share [Policy Text Block] | ' |
| (e) | Basic and Diluted Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share |
|
The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. A total of nil (2013 – 25,000,000) outstanding warrants have been excluded from the years ended May 31, 2014 and 2013 as they would be anti-dilutive. |
Comprehensive Loss [Policy Text Block] | ' |
| (f) | Comprehensive Loss |
|
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at May 31, 2014 and 2013 the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements. |
Mineral Property Costs [Policy Text Block] | ' |
| (g) | Mineral Property Costs |
|
The Company since its inception on April 4, 2006 has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations. |
Asset Retirement Obligations [Policy Text Block] | ' |
| (h) | Asset Retirement Obligations |
|
The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability for closure and removal costs associated with the legal obligations upon retirement or removal of any tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of assets in accordance with ASC 440 Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations . The initial recognition of any liability will be capitalized as part of the asset cost and depreciated over its estimated useful life. As at May 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has not incurred any asset retirement obligations. |
Long-Lived Assets [Policy Text Block] | ' |
| (i) | Long-Lived Assets |
|
In accordance with ASC 360, Property Plant and Equipment, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. |
Financial Instruments [Policy Text Block] | ' |
| (j) | Financial Instruments |
|
ASC 820, Financial Instruments, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value: |
|
Level 1 |
|
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
Level 2 |
|
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. |
|
Level 3 |
|
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
|
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and accounts payable. |
|
Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations. |
Income Taxes [Policy Text Block] | ' |
| (k) | Income Taxes |
|
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. |
Stock-Based Compensation [Policy Text Block] | ' |
| (l) | Stock-Based Compensation |
|
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation , and ASC 505, Equity based payments to non employees , using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. |
Foreign Currency Translation [Policy Text Block] | ' |
| (m) | Foreign Currency Translation |
|
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with ASC 740 Foreign Currency Translation Matters , using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Policy Text Block] | ' |
| (n) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. |
|
The Company has limited operations. During the year ended May 31, 2014, the Company has elected to early adopt Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. The adoption of this Update allows the Company to remove the inception-to-date information and all references to exploration stage. |
