| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| Nature of Operations | NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS Star Gold Corp. (the "Company") was initially incorporated as Elan Development, Inc., in the State of Nevada on December 8, 2006. The Company was originally organized to explore mineral properties in British Columbia, Canada but the Company is currently focusing on gold, silver and other base metal-bearing properties in Nevada. The Company's main business consists of assembling and/or acquiring land packages and mining claims the Company believes have potential mining reserves, and expending capital to explore these claims by drilling, and performing geophysical work or other exploration work deemed necessary. The business is a high-risk business as there is no guarantee that the Company's exploration work will ultimately discover or produce any economically viable minerals. |

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended October 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending April 30, 2017. All amounts presented are in U.S. dollars. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2016. Going Concern As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses since inception. As of October 31, 2016, the Company has limited financial resources with which to achieve the objectives and obtain profitability and positive cash flows. As shown in the accompanying balance sheets and statements of operations, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $ 9,752,641, and at October 31, 2016, the Company's working capital was $ 293,775 . Achievement of the Company's objectives will be dependent upon the ability to obtain additional financing, to locate profitable mining properties and generate revenue from current and planned business operations, and control costs. The Company plans to fund its future operations by joint venturing, obtaining additional financing from investors, and/or lenders, and attaining commercial production. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve these objectives, therefore substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern exists. The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded assets nor the implications of associated bankruptcy costs should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In the event the Company is unable to fulfill the annual exploration expenditures as specified in the Property Option Agreement (Note 3), the Company will default on the agreement(s) and surrender its right to future claims on the respective property. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management assumptions and estimates relate to asset impairments and stock option valuation. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the Company’s reported financial position and results of operations. Cash and cash equivalents For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash Restricted cash constitutes cash held as collateral for the faithful performance of bonds securing exploration permits. Financial Instruments The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents and reclamation bonds. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at October 31, 2016. Fair Value Measures The Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements" ("ASC 820") requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 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 820 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 quote prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets 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. At October 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016, the Company had no assets or liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. Mining Interests and Mineral Exploration Expenditures Exploration costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. The Company capitalizes costs for acquiring and leasing mining properties and expenses costs to maintain mineral rights as incurred. Should a property reach the production stage, these capitalized costs would be amortized using the units-of-production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves. Mining interests 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. Equipment Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation of equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which ranges from three to seven years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the useful life of the assets. Gains or losses on disposition or retirement of property and equipment are recognized in operating expenses. Reclamation and Remediation The Company's operations are subject to standards for mine reclamation that have been established by various governmental agencies. In the period in which the Company incurs a contractual obligation for the retirement of tangible long-lived assets, the Company will record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability. A corresponding asset will also be recorded and depreciated over the life of the asset. After the initial measurement of an asset retirement obligation, the liability will be adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. To date, the Company has not incurred any contractual obligation requiring recording either a liability or associated asset. Impaired Asset Policy The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in ASC Topic 360, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets". The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted net future cash flows estimated to be generated by its assets to their respective carrying amounts. If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. Stock-based Compensation The Company estimates the fair value of options to purchase common stock using the Black-Scholes model, which requires the input of some subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (“expected life”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term (“volatility”), employee forfeiture rate, the risk-free interest rate and the dividend yield. Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation. Options granted have a ten-year maximum term and varying vesting periods as determined by the Board of Directors. The value of shares of common stock awards is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of the award. Loss Per Share Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is computed as net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options and warrants. The outstanding securities at October 31, 2016 and 2015, that could have a dilutive effect are as follows: October 31, 2016 October 31, 2015 Stock options 5,185,000 3,058,667 Warrants 19,855,400 5,855,400 TOTAL POSSIBLE DILUTION 25,040,400 8,914,067 For the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the effect of the Company's outstanding options and common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive. Income Taxes The Company recognizes provision for income tax using the liability method. Deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes are paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will not be realized. New Accounting Pronouncement In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15—Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern. The guidance requires an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). If conditions or events exist that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, the guidance requires disclosure in the financial statements. The guidance will be effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company has concluded that adoption of the standard would have minimal impact on the Company’s financial statements as such disclosure is already included the financial statements. |

| Stock Options | NOTE 6 - STOCK OPTIONS Options issued for mining interest In consideration for mining interests (see Note 3), the Company is obligated to issue stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock based on "fair market price" which for financial statement purposes is considered to be the closing price of the Company's common stock on the issue dates. The following is a summary of the Company’s options issued and outstanding in conjunction with certain mining interest agreements on properties for the three and six months ended October 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015, respectively: For the three and six months ended October 31, 2016 For the three and six months ended October 31, 2015 Options Price (a) Options Price (a) Beginning balance 375,000 $ 0.32 350,000 $ 0.34 Issued - - - - Exercised - - - - Expired - - - - Ending balance 375,000 $ - 350,000 $ 0.34 (a) Options issued for consulting services As per an agreement fully executed on October 3, 2012, in consideration for consulting and advisory services rendered, the Company was obligated to issue a total of 1,000 stock options based on 5 day variable weighted-average price (VWAP) at the end of each month of the associated consulting contract. The stock options had a term of 1 year. The consultant options vested on the first day of the following month of service and were exercisable for a period of six months following the termination of the agreement. The Company estimated the fair value of these option grants using the Black-Scholes model with the following information and range of assumptions: For the six months ended October 31, 2016 October 31, 2015 Options issued 3,000 6,000 Weighted average exercise price $ 0.06 $ 0.10 Weighted average volatility 440.2% to 452.3% 244.4% to 307.6% Weighted average life remaining 0.46 0.46 Risk free rate 0.48% to 0.54% 0.25% to 0.28%. The following is a summary of the Company’s options issued and outstanding associated with the consulting agreement: For the three months ended October 31, 2016 2015 Options Price (a) Options Price (a) Beginning balance 12,000 $ 0.08 12,000 $ 0.16 Issued - - 3,000 0.07 Exercised - - - - Rescinded/expired (12,000) (0.08) (3,000) (0.25) Ending balance - $ - 12,000 $ 0.11 (a) Weighted average exercise price. For the six months ended October 31, 2016 2015 Options Price (a) Options Price (a) Beginning balance 12,000 $ 0.16 12,000 $ 0.34 Issued 3,000 0.06 6,000 0.09 Exercised - - - - Rescinded/expired (15,000) (0.10) (6,000) (0.24) Ending balance - $ - 12,000 $ 0.11 (a) Total charged against operations under the option grants for consulting services was $Nil and $195, for the three months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Total charged against operations under the option grants for consulting services was $215 and $488, for the six months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These costs are classified as management and administrative expense. Effective August 1, 2016, the consulting agreement was terminated and all outstanding options issued for consulting services were rescinded by mutual consent of the parties. Options issued under the 2011 Stock Option/Restricted Plan The Company established the 2011 Stock Option/Restricted Stock Plan. The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and provides for the grant of stock options to eligible individual including directors, executive officers and advisors that have furnished bona fide services to the Company not related to the sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction. The Stock Option Plan has a fixed maximum percentage of 10% of the Company's outstanding shares that are eligible for the plan pool, whereby the number of Shares under the plan increases automatically increases as the total number of shares outstanding increase. The number of shares subject to the Stock Option Plan and any outstanding awards will be adjusted appropriately by the Board of Directors if the Company's common stock is affected through a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, restructuring, reclassification dividend (other than quarterly cash dividends) or other distribution, stock split, spin-off or sale of substantially all of the Company's assets. The Stock Option plan also has terms and conditions, including without limitations that the exercise price for stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan must equal the stock's fair market value, based on the closing price per share of common stock, at the time the stock option is granted. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes model and commonly utilized assumptions associated with the Black-Scholes methodology. Options granted under the Plan have a ten-year maximum term and varying vesting periods as determined by the Board. On October 18, 2016, the Company rescinded 2,696,667 fully vested options previously granted under the Stock Option plan with a weighted average exercise price of $0.37. The Company re-issued the options and an additional 2,116,333 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, or a total of 4,813,000 options, with an exercise price of $0.06 per share. The options vested immediately and have a term of 5 years. The difference between the fair value of the options rescinded and the options granted was treated as a re-pricing event and the Company recognized stock-based compensation in the amount of $126,562 for the three and six months ended October 31, 2016. The Company estimated the fair value of these option grants using the Black-Scholes model with the following information and range of assumptions: For the six months ended October 31, 2016 2015 Options re-priced/issued 4,810,000 N/A Expected volatility 329.9% N/A Expected term 5 years N/A Risk free rate 1.24% N/A The following is a summary of the Company’s options issued and outstanding in conjunction with the Company’s Stock Option Plan: For the three and six months ended October 31, 2016 2015 Options Price (a) Options Price (a) Beginning balance 2,696,667 $ 0.37 2,696,667 $ 0.37 Issued 4,810,000 0.06 - - Exercised - - - - Expired/Repriced (2,696,667) ( 0.37 ) - - Ending balance 4,810,000 $ 0.06 2,696,667 $ 0.37 (a) The following table summarizes additional information about the options under the Company’s Stock Option Plan as of October 31, 2016: Options outstanding and exercisable Date of Grant Number Price (a) Remaining term (b) October 18, 2016 4,810,000 0.06 4.97 Total options 4,810,000 $0.06 4.97 (a) Weighted average exercise price per shares (b) Weighted average remaining contractual term in years.

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended October 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending April 30, 2017. All amounts presented are in U.S. dollars. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2016. |
| Going Concern | Going Concern As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses since inception. As of October 31, 2016, the Company has limited financial resources with which to achieve the objectives and obtain profitability and positive cash flows. As shown in the accompanying balance sheets and statements of operations, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $ 9,752,641, and at October 31, 2016, the Company's working capital was $ 293,775 . Achievement of the Company's objectives will be dependent upon the ability to obtain additional financing, to locate profitable mining properties and generate revenue from current and planned business operations, and control costs. The Company plans to fund its future operations by joint venturing, obtaining additional financing from investors, and/or lenders, and attaining commercial production. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve these objectives, therefore substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern exists. The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded assets nor the implications of associated bankruptcy costs should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In the event the Company is unable to fulfill the annual exploration expenditures as specified in the Property Option Agreement (Note 3), the Company will default on the agreement(s) and surrender its right to future claims on the respective property. |
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management assumptions and estimates relate to asset impairments and stock option valuation. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the Company’s reported financial position and results of operations. |
| Cash and cash equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. |
| Restricted cash | Restricted cash Restricted cash constitutes cash held as collateral for the faithful performance of bonds securing exploration permits. |
| Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents and reclamation bonds. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at October 31, 2016. |
| Fair Value Measures | Fair Value Measures The Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements" ("ASC 820") requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 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 820 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 quote prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets 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. At October 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016, the Company had no assets or liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. |
| Mining Interests and Mineral Exploration Expenditures | Mining Interests and Mineral Exploration Expenditures Exploration costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. The Company capitalizes costs for acquiring and leasing mining properties and expenses costs to maintain mineral rights as incurred. Should a property reach the production stage, these capitalized costs would be amortized using the units-of-production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves. Mining interests 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. |
| Equipment | Equipment Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation of equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which ranges from three to seven years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the useful life of the assets. Gains or losses on disposition or retirement of property and equipment are recognized in operating expenses. |
| Reclamation and Remediation | Reclamation and Remediation The Company's operations are subject to standards for mine reclamation that have been established by various governmental agencies. In the period in which the Company incurs a contractual obligation for the retirement of tangible long-lived assets, the Company will record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability. A corresponding asset will also be recorded and depreciated over the life of the asset. After the initial measurement of an asset retirement obligation, the liability will be adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. To date, the Company has not incurred any contractual obligation requiring recording either a liability or associated asset. |
| Impaired Asset Policy | Impaired Asset Policy The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in ASC Topic 360, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets". The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted net future cash flows estimated to be generated by its assets to their respective carrying amounts. If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. |
| Stock-based Compensation | Stock-based Compensation The Company estimates the fair value of options to purchase common stock using the Black-Scholes model, which requires the input of some subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (“expected life”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term (“volatility”), employee forfeiture rate, the risk-free interest rate and the dividend yield. Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation. Options granted have a ten-year maximum term and varying vesting periods as determined by the Board of Directors. The value of shares of common stock awards is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of the award. |
| Loss Per Share | Loss Per Share Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is computed as net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options and warrants. The outstanding securities at October 31, 2016 and 2015, that could have a dilutive effect are as follows: October 31, 2016 October 31, 2015 Stock options 5,185,000 3,058,667 Warrants 19,855,400 5,855,400 TOTAL POSSIBLE DILUTION 25,040,400 8,914,067 For the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the effect of the Company's outstanding options and common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive. |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company recognizes provision for income tax using the liability method. Deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes are paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will not be realized. |
| New Accounting Pronouncement | New Accounting Pronouncement In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15—Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern. The guidance requires an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). If conditions or events exist that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, the guidance requires disclosure in the financial statements. The guidance will be effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company has concluded that adoption of the standard would have minimal impact on the Company’s financial statements as such disclosure is already included the financial statements. |
