Accounting Policies [Abstract]
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND LIQUIDITY	1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND LIQUIDITY: I-Minerals Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, in 1984. The Company is listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “IMA” and the OTCQB marketplace under the symbol “IMAHF”. The Company’s principal business is the development of the Helmer-Bovill industrial mineral property (“the Property”) located in Latah County, Idaho. Since inception, the Company has been in the exploration and evaluation stage but moved into the development stage in fiscal 2018. In fiscal 2019, the Company reverted back to the evaluation stage as management determined that the Feasibility Study on the property should be considered non-current. The Helmer-Bovill property is comprised of eleven mineral leases that host potentially economic deposits of feldspar, quartz and kaolinitic clays, primarily kaolinite and halloysite. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information as well as Article 10 of Regulation S-X on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next year Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At October 31, 2020, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, had an accumulated deficit of $ since inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to develop the Property and to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company. The Company has been receiving funds from a company controlled by a director of the Company through promissory notes (Notes 6 and 11). On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization ("WHO") announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the "COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risk to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve. As such, it is uncertain as the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company's financial condition and liquidity. Management is actively monitoring the global situation and its potential impact. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effect of the COVID-19 outbreak on management's assumptions for fiscal year 2021. Although the Company cannot estimate the length or the gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, the longer the pandemic continues, the greater the likelihood that it will have an adverse effect on the Company's financial position in fiscal year 2021.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures The book value of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of those instruments. The fair value hierarchy under US GAAP is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - observable inputs other than Level I, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and Level 3 - assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s promissory notes are based on Level 2 inputs in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 fair value hierarchy. The Company calculated the fair value of these instruments by discounting future cash flows using rates representative of current borrowing rates. At October 31, 2020, the promissory notes had a fair value of $19,627,032 (April 30, 2020 – $18,347,095). Earnings (Loss) Per Share The basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. For the six months ended October 31, 2020, loss per share excludes 2,750,000 (October 31, 2019 – 5,979,097) potentially dilutive common shares (related to outstanding options and warrants as well as shares committed to be issued pursuant to the promissory notes) as their effect was anti-dilutive. Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements Fair Value Measurements In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" which adds the disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. Certain alternatives apply. Effective May 1, 2020, the Company adopted the new standard The adoption of this ASU did not result in any adjustments to the financial statements. Compensation – Stock Compensation In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2018-07”), which aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with that for employees, with certain exceptions. It expands the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payments granted to nonemployees in exchange for goods or services used or consumed in the entity’s own operations and supersedes the guidance in ASC 505-50. The ASU retains the existing cost attribution guidance, which requires entities to recognize compensation cost for nonemployee awards in the same period and in the same manner (i.e. capitalize or expense) they would if they paid cash for the goods or services, but it moves the guidance to ASC 718. Effective May 1, 2020, the Company adopted the new standard Upon adoption, the Company applied the modified retrospective transition approach and recorded an adjustment on May 1, 2020 to decrease derivative liabilities by $16,541 and decrease opening deficit by $16,541.

MINERAL PROPERTY INTEREST AND DEFERRED DEVELOPMENT COSTS	3. MINERAL PROPERTY INTEREST AND DEFERRED DEVELOPMENT COSTS: Helmer-Bovill Property – Latah County, Idaho The Company has an undivided 100% interest in 11 State of Idaho mineral leases. The State of Idaho mineral leases are subject to a 5% production royalty on gross sales. The mineral leases are in good standing until March 1, 2023 at which time they will be held by us contingent on production. In May 2017, the Idaho Department of Lands accepted our operation and reclamation plan. Together with a water rights permit from the Idaho Department of Water Resources, we were able to proceed with development and construction of the mine, subject to obtaining sufficient financing. As a result, management made the decision to begin capitalizing all development expenditures directly related to the Helmer-Bovill Property. In February 2019, the Company determined that the Feasibility Study should be considered non-current and accordingly, the Company has returned to the evaluation stage for accounting purposes.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Oct. 31, 2020
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures	Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures The book value of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of those instruments. The fair value hierarchy under US GAAP is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - observable inputs other than Level I, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and Level 3 - assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s promissory notes are based on Level 2 inputs in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 fair value hierarchy. The Company calculated the fair value of these instruments by discounting future cash flows using rates representative of current borrowing rates. At October 31, 2020, the promissory notes had a fair value of $19,627,032 (April 30, 2020 – $18,347,095).
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	Earnings (Loss) Per Share The basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. For the six months ended October 31, 2020, loss per share excludes 2,750,000 (October 31, 2019 – 5,979,097) potentially dilutive common shares (related to outstanding options and warrants as well as shares committed to be issued pursuant to the promissory notes) as their effect was anti-dilutive.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" which adds the disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. Certain alternatives apply. Effective May 1, 2020, the Company adopted the new standard The adoption of this ASU did not result in any adjustments to the financial statements.
Compensation - Stock Compensation	Compensation – Stock Compensation In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2018-07”), which aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with that for employees, with certain exceptions. It expands the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payments granted to nonemployees in exchange for goods or services used or consumed in the entity’s own operations and supersedes the guidance in ASC 505-50. The ASU retains the existing cost attribution guidance, which requires entities to recognize compensation cost for nonemployee awards in the same period and in the same manner (i.e. capitalize or expense) they would if they paid cash for the goods or services, but it moves the guidance to ASC 718. Effective May 1, 2020, the Company adopted the new standard Upon adoption, the Company applied the modified retrospective transition approach and recorded an adjustment on May 1, 2020 to decrease derivative liabilities by $16,541 and decrease opening deficit by $16,541.
