Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation |
|
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for financial information and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and are expressed in US dollars. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the consolidated financial statements of Trio Resources, Inc. and its subsidiary, TrioResources AG Inc. Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. |
|
The Company’s fiscal year-end is September 30. The Company’s functional currency is Canadian (“CDN”) dollars. The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated into the U.S. dollar using the exchange rates at each balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the reporting period. Stockholders’ deficiency is translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from translating the consolidated financial statements into the U.S. dollar are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the statements of stockholders’ deficiency. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates include the following: the estimated useful lives and valuation of property and equipment; the valuation of mining properties, deferred tax assets, convertible notes payable, convertible draw down loan payable, derivative liabilities, and stock-based compensation and payment; assumptions used in the going concern assessment. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. |
Comprehensive Income (Loss) | Comprehensive Income (Loss) |
|
ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income” established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company is disclosing this information on its consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. |
Cash | Cash |
|
Cash, includes deposits in banks which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use. |
Inventory | Inventory |
|
Inventory is comprised of mineralized material that is available for immediate concentration and processing. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition |
|
The Company recognizes revenue when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement that exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been provided; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Other revenue from the sale of tailings located on our property may be subject to adjustment upon final settlement of estimated metal recoveries, metal prices, weights and assays, and are recorded as adjustments to other revenue in the period of final settlement of prices, weights and assays. Such adjustments are typically not material in relation to the initial invoice amounts. In circumstances when these criteria are not met, revenue recognition is deferred until resolution occurs. |
Mineral Property and Exploration Costs | Mineral Property and Exploration Costs |
|
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on May 16, 2012, and it has been undertaking plans and taking steps to build a facility which will be capable of processing the mineralized material on its property. |
|
Before mineralization is classified as “proven and probable” reserves; costs are expensed and classified as Mineral property and exploration costs. Capitalization of mine development project costs, that meet the definition of an asset, begins once mineralization is classified as “proven and probable reserves.” |
|
When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to acquire and 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. |
Mining Properties | Mining Properties |
|
Mining property acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred and will be amortized using the units of production method over the estimated life of the reserve following the commencement of production. If a mining property is subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be expensed in the period of abandonment or impairment. |
|
Acquisition costs include cash consideration and the fair value of shares issued on the acquisition of mining properties. |
Exploration Costs | Exploration Costs |
|
Exploration costs, which include maintenance, development and exploration of mineral claims, are expensed as incurred. When it is determined that a mineral deposit can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred after such determination will be capitalized and amortized over their useful lives. To date, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of its exploration prospects; therefore, all exploration costs are being expensed. |
Mining Rights | Mining Rights |
|
The Company has determined that its patented mining claims meet the definition of a mineral resource asset, as defined by accounting standards, and are tangible assets. As a result, the costs of mining assets are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased. If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves. The Company’s rights to extract minerals are not limited by time. For mining rights in which proven and probable reserves have not yet been established, the Company assesses the carrying value for impairment at the end of each reporting period. During the year ended September 30, 2014, the Company did not record any impairment charges. |
Impairment of Long Lived Assets | Impairment of Long Lived Assets |
|
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 of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. |
|
Recoverability of long lived assets 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. Management believes no impairment exists as of September 30, 2014. |
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that has three levels of inputs, both observable and unobservable. Accounting standards require utilization of the highest level of input to determine fair value. The three levels of input are as follows: |
|
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
|
Level 2 - observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and |
|
Level 3 - assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable and corroborated by little or no market data. |
|
The Company records cash at fair value based on Level 1 inputs and derivative liabilities at fair value based on Level 2 inputs. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes |
|
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), on a tax jurisdictional basis. The Company files income tax returns in the United States and its subsidiary files income tax returns in Canada and the Province of Ontario. |
|
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts using enacted tax rates and laws in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is determined to be more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company assesses the likelihood of the financial statement effect of a tax position that should be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the tax position, circumstances, and information available as of the reporting date. The Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities in jurisdictions such as the United States and Canada. Management does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that would result in an asset or liability for taxes being recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes tax-related interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. |
|
ASC 740 prescribes recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in periods, disclosure and transition. At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company has not taken any tax positions that would require disclosure under ASC 740. FASB ASC 740 prescribes recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in periods, disclosure and transition. At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company has not taken any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740. |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
|
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. |
|
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, which will require an entity’s management to assess, for each annual and interim period, whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the financial statement issuance date. The definition of substantial doubt within the new standard incorporates a likelihood threshold of “probable” similar to the use of that term under current GAAP for loss contingencies. Certain disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt. The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning with fiscal year 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this amended guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards |
|
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities”. The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the ASC thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had’ been in the development stage. The amendments in this update are applied retrospectively. |
