| Basis of Presentation | ' |
| The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of American Liberty Petroleum Corp., a Nevada corporation (“ALP” or the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures required for an annual set of financial statements prepared under United States generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of January 31, 2014 and for all interim periods presented herein have been reflected in these financial statements and the notes thereto. Interim results for the three months ended January 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013. | |
| As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “ALP” and “the Company” shall mean American Liberty Petroleum Corp. unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts in this Quarterly Report are in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. |

| Oil and Gas Properties | ' |
| The Company follows the full cost accounting method to account for oil and gas properties, whereby costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on non-producing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil and gas wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capital costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized to income. | |
| The capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, excluding unevaluated and unproved properties, are amortized using the units-of-production method based on estimated proved recoverable oil and gas reserves. Amortization of unevaluated and unproved property costs begins when the properties become proved or their values become impaired. Impairment of unevaluated and unproved prospects is assessed periodically based on a variety of factors, including management’s intention with regard to future exploration and development of individually significant properties and the ability of the Company to obtain funds to finance such exploration and development. | |
| Loss on disposition of Oil and Gas Properties | |
| In 2012, the Company began negotiations to sell its ownership interest in its Cortez and Gabbs leases to Desert Discoveries in exchange for a 2% overriding royalty interest in the lease should there be any future revenues derived from the property. The Company had determined that it did not wish to continue funding this project, as it is not sure if the project will be economically viable in the future. At this time, the Company cannot assign a value on this lease, as there is insufficient information to be able to do so. Accordingly, the Company completely wrote off the value of the property in 2012. Desert Discoveries is an unrelated third party. |

| Going Concern {2} | ' |
| Going Concern | ' |
| There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financings necessary to support the Company’s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financings are insufficient to support the Company’s working capital requirements, the Company will have to raise additional working capital from alternative financing sources. No assurance can be given that alternative financing will be available, or if available, will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available, then the Company may not be able to continue its operations. | |
| These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. | |
