Disclosure of voluntary change in accounting policy [abstract] | |
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES | The following standards have been published and are mandatory for the Company’s annual accounting periods no earlier than January 1, 2018: On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (" IFRS 9 The following summarizes the significant changes in IFRS 9 compared to the current standard: ● IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is classified and measured at amortized cost or fair value. The classification and measurement of financial assets is based on the Company's business models for managing its financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments for principal and interest. The change did not impact the carrying amounts of any of the Company’s financial assets on the transition date. Prior periods were not restated, and no material changes resulted from adopting this new standard. ● The adoption of the new "expected credit loss" impairment model under IFRS 9, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under IAS 39, had no impact on the carrying amounts of our financial assets on the transition date given the Company transacts exclusively with large international financial institutions and other organizations with strong credit ratings. The Company’s financial instruments are accounted for as follows under IFRS 9 as compared to the Company’s previous policy in accordance with IAS 39. January 1, 2018 IAS 39 IFRS 9 Assets Cash Fair value through profit or loss Fair value through profit or loss Restricted cash equivalents Amortized cost Amortized cost Receivables Amortized cost Amortized cost Marketable securities Fair value through other comprehensive income Fair value through other comprehensive income Liabilities Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost Amortized cost Under IFRS 9, the Company’s equity marketable securities are designated as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income or loss. Upon adoption of IFRS 9, The Company has made an irrevocable election to recognize changes in fair value of marketable securities through other comprehensive income or loss as they are not considered to be held for trading. IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ IFRS 15 . ’ IFRS 16 Leases IFRS 16 There are other new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that have been published and are not yet effective. The Company believes they will have no material impact to its consolidated financial statements. |

Disclosure of changes in accounting estimates [abstract] | |
SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS | The preparation of a company’s financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 5.1 Significant Judgments The significant judgments that the Company’s management has made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, apart from those involving estimation uncertainties (Annual financial statements 5.2), that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Annual Financial Statements include, but are not limited to: (a) Functional currency determination The functional currency for each of the Company’s subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders the functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment. Management has determined the functional currency of all entities to be the Canadian dollar. (b) Economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits of exploration, evaluation and development costs Management has determined that exploratory drilling, evaluation, development and related costs incurred which have been capitalized are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefit including geologic and metallurgic (b) Economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits of exploration, evaluation and development costs (cont’d...) information, history of conversion of mineral deposits to proven and probable reserves, scoping, prefeasibility and feasibility studies, assessable facilities, existing permits and life of mine plans. Management has determined that during the year ended December 31, 2017, none of the Company’s silver and vanadium projects have reached technical feasibility and commercial viability and therefore remain within Mineral Properties on the Statement of Financial Position. (c) Impairment assessment of deferred exploration interests The Company considers both external and internal sources of information in assessing whether there are any indications that mineral property interests are impaired. External sources of information the Company considers include changes in the market, economic and legal environment in which the Company operates that are not within its control and affect the recoverable amount of mineral property interest. Internal sources of information the Company considers include the manner in which mineral properties and plant and equipment are being used or are expected to be used and indications of economic performance of the assets. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company wrote-off $13,994,970 of capitalized mineral property costs (Note 13). (d) Deferred Tax Liability Judgement is required to determine which types of arrangements are considered to be a tax on income in contrast to an operating cost. Judgement is also required in determining whether deferred tax liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position. Deferred tax liabilities, including those arising from un-utilised tax gains, require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate sufficient taxable losses in future periods, in order to offset recognised deferred tax liabilities. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable losses depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. These estimates of future taxable losses are based on forecast cash flows from operations (which are impacted by production and sales volumes, commodity prices, reserves, operating costs, closure and rehabilitation costs, capital expenditure, and other capital management transactions) and judgement about the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable losses differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to offset the net deferred tax liabilities recorded at the reporting date could be impacted. 5.2 Estimates and Assumptions The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management believes the estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows. The areas which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include, but are not limited to: (a) Mineral reserves The recoverability of the carrying value of the mineral properties is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest. (b) Depreciation Significant judgment is involved in the determination of useful life and residual values for the computation of depreciation, depletion and amortization and no assurance can be given that actual useful lives and residual values will not differ significantly from current assumptions. (c) Impairment The carrying value of long-lived assets are reviewed each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is impaired, and an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. The assessment of fair values, including those of the cash generating units (the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflow from other assets or groups of assets) (“ CGUs (d) Allowance for doubtful accounts, and the recoverability of receivables and prepaid expense amounts. Significant estimates are involved in the determination of recoverability of receivables and no assurance can be given that actual proceeds will not differ significantly from current estimations. Similarly, significant estimates are involved in the determination of the recoverability of services and/or goods related to the prepaid expense amounts, and actual results could differ significantly from current estimations. Management has made significant assumptions about the recoverability of receivables and prepaid expense amounts. During the year ended December 31,2018 the Company wrote-off $21,004 (2017-$61,202) of trade receivables which are no longer expected to be recovered and $26,234 (2017 - $57,420) of prepaid expenses for which not future benefit is expected to be received. (d) Provision for closure and reclamation The Company assesses its mineral properties’ rehabilitation provision at each reporting date or when new material information becomes available. Exploration, development and mining activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. In general, these laws and regulations are continually changing, and the Company has made, and intends to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. Accounting for reclamation obligations requires management to make estimates of the future costs that the Company will incur to complete the reclamation work required to comply with existing laws and regulations at each location. Actual costs incurred may differ from those amounts estimated. Also, future changes to environmental laws and regulations could increase the extent of reclamation and remediation work required to be performed by the Company. Increases in future costs could materially impact the amounts charged to operations for reclamation and remediation. The provision represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the future reclamation and remediation obligation. The actual future expenditures may differ from the amounts currently provided. (f) Share-based payments Management uses valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of share purchase options granted. The fair value is determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model which requires management to make certain estimates, judgement, and assumptions in relation to the expected life of the share purchase options and share purchase warrants, expected volatility, expected risk-free rate, and expected forfeiture rate. Changes to these assumptions could have a material impact on the Annual Financial Statements. (g) Contingencies The assessment of contingencies involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company and that may result in regulatory or government actions that may negatively impact the Company’s business or operations, the Company and its legal counsel evaluate the perceived merits of the legal proceeding or unasserted claim or action as well as the perceived merits of the nature and amount of relief sought or expected to be sought, when determining the amount, if any, to recognize as a contingent liability or when assessing the impact on the carrying value of the Company’s assets. Contingent assets are not recognized in the Annual Financial Statements. (h) Fair value measurement The Company measures financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date. The fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost are disclosed in Note 20. Also, from time to time, the fair values of non-financial assets and liabilities are required to be determined, e.g., when the entity acquires a business, completes an asset acquisition or where an entity measures the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit at fair value less costs of disposal. Fair value is 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. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. Changes in estimates and assumptions about these inputs could affect the reported fair value. |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2018 | |
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | (a) Restricted cash equivalents Restricted cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments pledged as collateral for the Company’s credit card and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. (b) Mineral properties Mineral property assets consist of exploration and evaluation costs. Costs directly related to the exploration and evaluation of resource properties are capitalized to mineral properties once the legal rights to explore the resource properties are acquired or obtained. These costs include acquisition of rights to explore, license and application fees, topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies, exploratory drilling, trenching, sampling, and activities in relation to evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource. If it is determined that capitalized acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs are not recoverable, or the property is abandoned or management has determined an impairment in value, the property is written down to its recoverable amount. Mineral properties are reviewed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed its recoverable amount. From time to time, the Company acquires or disposes of properties pursuant to the terms of option agreements. Options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee and, accordingly, are recorded as mineral property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received. After costs are recovered, the balances of the payments received are recorded as a gain on option or disposition of mineral property. (i) Title to mineral properties Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title, nor has the Company insured title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements. (ii) Realization of mineral property assets The investment in and expenditures on mineral property interests comprise a significant portion of the Company’s assets. Realization of the Company’s investment in these assets is dependent upon the establishment of legal ownership, and the attainment of successful production from properties or from the proceeds of their disposal. Resource exploration and development is highly speculative and involves inherent risks. While the rewards if an ore body is discovered can be substantial, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into profitable producing mines. There can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in the discovery of economically viable quantities of ore. The amounts shown for acquisition costs and deferred exploration expenditures represent costs incurred to date and do not necessarily reflect present or future values. (ii) Environmental The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its properties and properties in which it has previously had an interest. The Company conducts its mineral exploration activities in compliance with applicable environmental protection legislation. Other than as disclosed in Note 16, the Company is not aware of any existing environmental issues related to any of its current or former properties that may result in material liability to the Company. Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing. The impact of new and future environmental legislation on the Company’s operations may cause additional expenses and restrictions. If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the mineral properties, the potential for production on the property may be diminished or negated. (c) Equipment Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost of an item of property and equipment consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use, and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Depreciation of equipment is recorded on a declining-balance basis at the following annual rates: Computer equipment 45% Computer software 100% Furniture and equipment 20% Leasehold improvement Straight line / 5 years Mining equipment 20% Vehicles 30% When parts of major components of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as a separate item of equipment. The cost of major overhauls of part of equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. (d) Impairment of non-current assets and Cash Generating Units (“ CGU At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is an indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the CGU, where the recoverable amount of the CGU is the greater of the CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use to which the assets belong. In assessing value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. Each project or group of claims or licenses is treated as a CGU. The Company uses its best efforts to fully understand all of the aforementioned to make an informed decision based upon historical and current facts surrounding the projects. Discounted cash flow techniques often require management to make estimates and assumptions concerning reserves and expected future production revenues and expenses, which can vary from actual. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or CGU) in prior years. (e) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Where funds are borrowed specifically to finance a project, the amount capitalized represents the actual borrowing costs incurred. Where surplus funds are available for a short-term from funds borrowed specifically to finance a project, the income generated from the temporary investment of such amounts is also capitalized and deducted from the total capitalized borrowing cost. Where the funds used to finance a project are from part of general borrowings, the amount capitalized is calculated using a weighted average of rates applicable to relevant general borrowings of the Company during the period. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. (f) Foreign currency translation Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the dates of the transactions. At each financial position reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the prevailing exchange rates at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position. Non-monetary items measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Gains and losses arising from this translation are included in the determination of net loss for the year. (g) Revenue recognition The Company recognizes interest income on its cash on an accrual basis at the stated rates over the term to maturity. Sales of coal are recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer and the price can be measured reliably. Sales contracts and revenue is recognized based on the terms of the contract. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts and rebates. Royalties related to production are recorded in cost of sales. Sales of coal are generated from incidental coal sales and are recorded net of associated costs. (h) Unit offerings Proceeds received on the issuance of units, consisting of common shares and warrants, are allocated first to common shares based on the market trading price of the common shares at the time the units are priced, and any excess is allocated to warrants. (i) Share-based payments The Company has a share purchase option plan that is described in Note 18. The Company accounts for share-based payments using a fair value-based method with respect to all share-based payments to directors, officers, employees, and service providers. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or if such fair value is not reliably measurable, at the fair value of the equity instruments issued. The fair value is recognized as an expense or capitalized to mineral properties or property and equipment with a corresponding increase in option reserve. This includes a forfeiture estimate, which is revised for actual forfeitures in subsequent periods. Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the remaining vesting period. Upon the exercise of the share purchase option, the consideration received, and the related amount transferred from option reserve are recorded as share capital. (j) Loss per share Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options and warrants. Under this method the dilutive effect on earnings per share is calculated presuming the exercise of outstanding options and warrants. It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. However, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive. (k) Income taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective income tax basis on the statement of financial position date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to reverse. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is included in operations in the period in which the change is enacted or substantively enacted. The amount of deferred income tax assets recognized is limited to the amount of the benefit that is probable upon recovery. (l) Provision for closure and reclamation The Company assesses its property, equipment and mineral property rehabilitation provision at each reporting date. Changes to estimated future costs are recognized in the statement of financial position by either increasing or decreasing the rehabilitation liability and asset to which it relates if the initial estimate was originally recognized as part of an asset measured in accordance with IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment The Company records the present value of estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations required to restore operations in the period in which the obligation is incurred. The nature of these restoration activities includes dismantling and removing structures; rehabilitating mineral properties; dismantling operating facilities; closure of plant and waste sites; and restoration, reclamation and vegetation of affected areas. Present value is used where the effect of the time value of money is material. The related liability is adjusted each period for the unwinding of the discount rate and for changes in estimates, changes to the current market-based discount rate, and the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation. (m) Financial instruments Classification Financial assets are classified at initial recognition as either: measured at amortized cost, FVTPL or fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"). The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. Derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are never separated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL or the Company has opted to measure at FVTPL. Measurement Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets or liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise. Where the Company has opted to designate a financial liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with the Company's credit risk will be recognized in OCI. Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. Impairment The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses ("ECL") associated with financial assets measured at amortized cost, contract assets and debt instruments carried at FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. Please refer to Note 20 for relevant fair value measurement disclosures. |

PROVISION FOR CLOSURE AND RECLAMATION | The Company’s closure and reclamation costs consists of costs accrued based on the current best estimate of mine closure and reclamation activities that will be required at the Ulaan Ovoo site upon completion of mining activity. These activities include costs for earthworks, including land re-contouring and re-vegetation, water treatment and demolition. The Company’s provision for future site closure and reclamation costs is based on the level of known disturbance at the reporting date, known legal requirements and estimates prepared by a third-party specialist. It is not currently possible to estimate the impact on operating results, if any, of future legislative or regulatory developments. Management used a risk-free interest rate of 1.98% (2017 – 2.23%, 2016 – 1.06%) and a risk premium of 7% (2017 – 7%, 2016 – 7%) in preparing the Company’s provision for closure and reclamation. Although the ultimate amount of reclamation costs to be incurred cannot be predicted with certainty, the total undiscounted amount of estimated cash flows required to settle the Company’s estimated obligations is $444,000 over the next 6 years. The cash expenditures are expected to occur over a period of time extending several years after the projected mine closure of the mineral properties.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the share-based payment expenses were calculated using the following weighted average assumptions: Year ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 Risk-free interest rate 1.77 % 1.25 % 1.20 % Expected life of options in years 4.4 4.4 4.9 Expected volatility 135.71 % 133.55 % 131.45 % Expected dividend yield Nil Nil Nil Expected forfeiture rate 12 % 12 % 12 % Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year $ 0.32 $ 0.32 $ 0.23 The expected volatility used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s shares. The expected forfeiture rate is based on the historical forfeitures of options issued. Share-based payments charged to operations and assets were allocated between deferred mineral properties, and general and administrative expenses. Share-based payments are allocated between being either capitalized to deferred exploration costs where related to mineral properties or expensed as general and administrative expenses where otherwise related to the general operations of the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, share-based payments were recorded as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 Consolidated Statement of Operations Share based payments 553,430 599,117 197,889 $ 553,430 $ 599,117 $ 197,889 Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Chandgana Tal and power plant application - 69,515 21,429 Gibellini exploration 87,186 - - Pulacayo exploration 117,871 158,464 46,934 205,057 227,979 68,363 Total share-based payments $ 758,487 $ 827,096 $ 266,252 [remainder of this page has been intentionally left blank] (d) Share purchase warrants The following is a summary of the changes in Prophecy’s share purchase warrants from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2018: Number of Warrants Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding, December 31, 2015 4,365,040 $ 0.60 Issued 9,369,670 $ 0.40 Expired (254,110 ) $ 1.00 Outstanding, December 31, 2016 13,480,600 $ 0.47 Issued 12,453,680 $ 0.41 Exercised (150,000 ) $ 0.40 Expired (26,250 ) $ 0.70 Outstanding, December 31, 2017 25,758,030 $ 0.44 Issued 5,061,417 $ 0.40 Exercised (3,445,420 ) $ 0.39 Expired (56,000 ) $ 0.40 Outstanding, December 31, 2018 27,318,027 $ 0.44 On February 15, 2018, the Company issued 500,000 Share purchase warrants as a part of consideration for mining claims acquisition (Note 13).

Capital Risk Management | |
CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT | Management considers its capital structure to consist of share capital, share purchase options and warrants. Prophecy manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to, and required by the Company in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative returns on capital criteria for management. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirement, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors. The annual and updated budgets are approved by the Board of Directors. The properties, to which the Company currently has an interest in, are in the exploration stage; as such, Prophecy is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and development and pay for administrative costs, Prophecy will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. There were no changes in managements approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2018. Neither Prophecy nor its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements. |

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | Fair Value Measurements Fair value hierarchy Fair value is 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. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. Prophecy utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means; and Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. The following table sets forth Prophecy’s financial assets measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets Cash, December 31, 2018 $ 5,304,097 $ - $ - $ 5,304,097 Cash, December 31, 2017 $ 4,100,608 $ - $ - $ 4,100,608 Cash, December 31, 2016 $ 21,648 $ - $ - $ 21,648 Categories of financial instruments The Company considers that the carrying amount of all its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost approximates their fair value due to their short term nature. Restricted cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the nature of the instrument. The Company does not offset financial assets with financial liabilities. There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities are categorized as follows: December 31, December 31, December 31, 2018 2017 2016 Fair value through profit or loss Cash $ 5,304,097 $ 4,100,608 $ 21,648 Fair value though other comprehensive income Marketable securities $ - $ 205,600 $ 176,000 Amortized cost Receivables $ 36,399 $ 34,653 $ 91,565 Restricted cash equivalents $ 34,500 $ 34,500 $ - $ 5,374,996 $ 4,375,361 $ 289,213 Amortized cost Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 1,636,786 $ 1,895,983 $ 2,658,018 Credit facility $ - $ - $ 1,071,560 $ 1,636,786 $ 1,895,983 $ 3,729,578 |

Disclosure of nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments [abstract] | |
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT DISCLOSURES | (a) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by preparing cash flow forecasts of upcoming cash requirements. As at December 31, 2018, the Company had a cash balance of $5,304,097 (December 31, 2017 – $4,100,608, December 31, 2016 – $21,648). As at December 31, 2018 the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,636,786 (December 31, 2017 - $1,895,983, December 31, 2016 - $2,658,018), which have contractual maturities of 90 days or less. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place by which it anticipates and determines the funds required to support normal operation requirements as well as the growth and development of its mineral property interests. The Company coordinates this planning and budgeting process with its financing activities through the capital management process in normal circumstances. The following table details the Company’s current and expected remaining contractual maturities for its financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The table is based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities. 0 to 6 months 6 to 12 months Total Accounts payable and accrued liabilities As at December 31, 2018 $ 1,636,786 $ - $ 1,636,786 As at December 31, 2017 $ 1,895,983 $ - $ 1,895,983 As at December 31, 2016 $ 2,658,018 $ - $ 2,658,018 (b) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk primarily associated to cash and restricted cash equivalents and receivables, net of allowances. The carrying amount of financial assets included on the statements of financial position represents the maximum credit exposure. (c) Market risk (i) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s cash and restricted cash equivalents primarily include highly liquid investments that earn interest at market rates that are fixed to maturity. Due to the short - (ii) Foreign currency risk The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company has exploration and development projects in Mongolia and Bolivia and undertakes transactions in various foreign currencies. The Company is therefore exposed to foreign currency risk arising from transactions denominated in a foreign currency and the translation of financial instruments denominated in US dollars, Mongolian tugrik, and Bolivian boliviano into its functional and reporting currency, the Canadian dollar. Based on the above, net exposures as at December 31, 2018, with other variables unchanged, a 10% (December 31, 2017 – 10%, December 31, 2016 – 10%) strengthening (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the Mongolian tugrik would impact net loss with other variables unchanged by $44,000. A 10% strengthening (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the Bolivian boliviano would impact net loss with other variables unchanged by $811,000. A 10% strengthening (weakening) of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would impact net loss with other variables unchanged by $60,000. The Company currently does not use any foreign exchange contracts to hedge this currency risk. (iii) Commodity and equity price risk Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. Commodity prices fluctuate on a daily basis and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control. The supply and demand for these commodities, the level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, investment decisions by large holders of commodities including governmental reserves and stability of exchange rates can all cause significant fluctuations in prices. Such external economic factors are in turn influenced by changes in international investment patterns and monetary systems and political developments. The Company is also exposed to price risk with regards to equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. The Company closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. Fluctuations in value may be significant. |

As a result, the Sukhbaatar District Tax Division implemented the Capital City Tax Tribunal’s resolution on June 25, 2015, finding: (1) with respect to confirmation of Red Hill’s VAT credit, that after inspection the amount was to be MNT235,718,533; and (2) with respect to the imposition of the penalty/deduction for the tax assessment, that no penalty was to be issued but that Red Hill’s loss to be depreciated and reported was to be MNT1,396,668,549 in 2010 and MNT4,462,083,700 in 2011. The Company continued to dispute the Sukhbaatar District Tax Division’s assessment and delivered a complaint to Capital City Tax Tribunal on July 24, 2015.

Following the submittal, the City tax tribunal officer responded and informed Red Hill that a hearing will be scheduled soon. Red Hill is working with its external lawyer to give additional documents to the City tax tribunal before the hearing to solidify the case.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2018 | |
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Restricted cash equivalents | Restricted cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments pledged as collateral for the Company’s credit card and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. |
Mineral properties | Mineral property assets consist of exploration and evaluation costs. Costs directly related to the exploration and evaluation of resource properties are capitalized to mineral properties once the legal rights to explore the resource properties are acquired or obtained. These costs include acquisition of rights to explore, license and application fees, topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies, exploratory drilling, trenching, sampling, and activities in relation to evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource. If it is determined that capitalized acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs are not recoverable, or the property is abandoned or management has determined an impairment in value, the property is written down to its recoverable amount. Mineral properties are reviewed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed its recoverable amount. From time to time, the Company acquires or disposes of properties pursuant to the terms of option agreements. Options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee and, accordingly, are recorded as mineral property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received. After costs are recovered, the balances of the payments received are recorded as a gain on option or disposition of mineral property. (i) Title to mineral properties Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title, nor has the Company insured title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements. (ii) Realization of mineral property assets The investment in and expenditures on mineral property interests comprise a significant portion of the Company’s assets. Realization of the Company’s investment in these assets is dependent upon the establishment of legal ownership, and the attainment of successful production from properties or from the proceeds of their disposal. Resource exploration and development is highly speculative and involves inherent risks. While the rewards if an ore body is discovered can be substantial, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into profitable producing mines. There can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in the discovery of economically viable quantities of ore. The amounts shown for acquisition costs and deferred exploration expenditures represent costs incurred to date and do not necessarily reflect present or future values. (ii) Environmental The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its properties and properties in which it has previously had an interest. The Company conducts its mineral exploration activities in compliance with applicable environmental protection legislation. Other than as disclosed in Note 16, the Company is not aware of any existing environmental issues related to any of its current or former properties that may result in material liability to the Company. Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing. The impact of new and future environmental legislation on the Company’s operations may cause additional expenses and restrictions. If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the mineral properties, the potential for production on the property may be diminished or negated. |
Equipment | Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost of an item of property and equipment consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use, and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Depreciation of equipment is recorded on a declining-balance basis at the following annual rates: Computer equipment 45% Computer software 100% Furniture and equipment 20% Leasehold improvement Straight line / 5 years Mining equipment 20% Vehicles 30% When parts of major components of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as a separate item of equipment. The cost of major overhauls of part of equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. |
Impairment of non-current assets and Cash Generating Units ("CGU") | At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is an indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the CGU, where the recoverable amount of the CGU is the greater of the CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use to which the assets belong. In assessing value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. Each project or group of claims or licenses is treated as a CGU. The Company uses its best efforts to fully understand all of the aforementioned to make an informed decision based upon historical and current facts surrounding the projects. Discounted cash flow techniques often require management to make estimates and assumptions concerning reserves and expected future production revenues and expenses, which can vary from actual. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or CGU) in prior years. |
Borrowing costs | Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Where funds are borrowed specifically to finance a project, the amount capitalized represents the actual borrowing costs incurred. Where surplus funds are available for a short-term from funds borrowed specifically to finance a project, the income generated from the temporary investment of such amounts is also capitalized and deducted from the total capitalized borrowing cost. Where the funds used to finance a project are from part of general borrowings, the amount capitalized is calculated using a weighted average of rates applicable to relevant general borrowings of the Company during the period. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. |
Foreign currency translation | Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the dates of the transactions. At each financial position reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the prevailing exchange rates at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position. Non-monetary items measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Gains and losses arising from this translation are included in the determination of net loss for the year. |
Revenue recognition | The Company recognizes interest income on its cash on an accrual basis at the stated rates over the term to maturity. Sales of coal are recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer and the price can be measured reliably. Sales contracts and revenue is recognized based on the terms of the contract. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts and rebates. Royalties related to production are recorded in cost of sales. Sales of coal are generated from incidental coal sales and are recorded net of associated costs. |
Unit offerings | Proceeds received on the issuance of units, consisting of common shares and warrants, are allocated first to common shares based on the market trading price of the common shares at the time the units are priced, and any excess is allocated to warrants. |
Share-based payments | The Company has a share purchase option plan that is described in Note 18. The Company accounts for share-based payments using a fair value-based method with respect to all share-based payments to directors, officers, employees, and service providers. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or if such fair value is not reliably measurable, at the fair value of the equity instruments issued. The fair value is recognized as an expense or capitalized to mineral properties or property and equipment with a corresponding increase in option reserve. This includes a forfeiture estimate, which is revised for actual forfeitures in subsequent periods. Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the remaining vesting period. Upon the exercise of the share purchase option, the consideration received, and the related amount transferred from option reserve are recorded as share capital. |
Loss per share | Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options and warrants. Under this method the dilutive effect on earnings per share is calculated presuming the exercise of outstanding options and warrants. It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. However, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive. |
Income taxes | The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective income tax basis on the statement of financial position date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to reverse. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is included in operations in the period in which the change is enacted or substantively enacted. The amount of deferred income tax assets recognized is limited to the amount of the benefit that is probable upon recovery. |
Provision for closure and reclamation | The Company assesses its property, equipment and mineral property rehabilitation provision at each reporting date. Changes to estimated future costs are recognized in the statement of financial position by either increasing or decreasing the rehabilitation liability and asset to which it relates if the initial estimate was originally recognized as part of an asset measured in accordance with IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment The Company records the present value of estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations required to restore operations in the period in which the obligation is incurred. The nature of these restoration activities includes dismantling and removing structures; rehabilitating mineral properties; dismantling operating facilities; closure of plant and waste sites; and restoration, reclamation and vegetation of affected areas. Present value is used where the effect of the time value of money is material. The related liability is adjusted each period for the unwinding of the discount rate and for changes in estimates, changes to the current market-based discount rate, and the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation. |
Financial instruments | Classification Financial assets are classified at initial recognition as either: measured at amortized cost, FVTPL or fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"). The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. Derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are never separated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL or the Company has opted to measure at FVTPL. Measurement Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets or liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise. Where the Company has opted to designate a financial liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with the Company's credit risk will be recognized in OCI. Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. Impairment The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses ("ECL") associated with financial assets measured at amortized cost, contract assets and debt instruments carried at FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. Please refer to Note 20 for relevant fair value measurement disclosures. |
