Nature of Business | Effective November 6, 2013, the Company relocated from the Province of Alberta to the Province of British Columbia. The Company's registered office is located at 25th Floor, 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, B.C. V7Y 1B3. The Company's head office is located at 23800 E Appleway Avenue, Liberty Lake, Washington, 99019 USA. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances: Corporation Incorporation Percentage ownership Business Purpose Cerro Cazador S.A. ("CCSA") Argentina 100% Holder of Assets and Exploration Company Ganadera Patagonia (1) Argentina 40% Land Holding Company 1494716 Alberta Ltd. Alberta 100% Nominee Shareholder Hunt Gold USA LLC Washington, USA 100% Management Company (1) The Company's activities include the exploration and processing of minerals from properties in Argentina including the Mina Martha project (Note 8) and the La Josefina project on a metallurgical test basis. On the basis of information to date, the Company has not yet determined whether the Exploration properties contain economically recoverable ore reserves. The underlying value of the mineral properties is entirely dependent upon the existence of reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete development and upon future profitable production or a sale of these properties. The Mina Martha project was purchased in the second quarter of 2016 and refurbishing activities began in late 2016. The Company finished all refurbishments to the Mina Martha project in the first quarter of 2017 and began selling concentrate in the second quarter of 2017. In 2018, the Company continued the sale of concentrate from Martha as well as began metallurgical tests on the La Josefina project. Concentrate produces as a byproduct of this testing was sold in 2018. Ongoing production at the Martha Project is being undertaken without established mineral resources or reserves and the Company has not established the economic viability of the operations on the Martha Project. As a result, there is increased uncertainty and economic risks of failure associated with these production activities Despite the sale of concentrate, the all projects remain in the exploration stage because management has not established proven or probable ore reserves required to be classified in either the development or production stage. As such, the sales of concentrate are classified as silver and gold recovery, net of expenses in profit and loss. |

Basis of presentation | These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("US GAAP"). These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. The Company's presentation currency is the US Dollar. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Judgments made by management in the application of US GAAP that have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements and estimates with significant risk of material adjustment in the current and following periods are discussed in Note 6. 2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2018 | |
Disclosure Text Block [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are described below. (a) Basis of measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of certain financial assets and financial liabilities to fair value. (b) Consolidation The Company's consolidated financial statements consolidate the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation. (c) Foreign currency translation Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates throughout the reporting period. Gains and losses on translation of foreign currencies are included in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar. All of the Company's subsidiaries have a US dollar functional currency. Financial statements are translated to their US dollar equivalents using the current rate method. Under this method, the statements of operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows for each period have been translated using the average exchange rates prevailing during each period. All assets and liabilities have been translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments are recorded as income or losses in other comprehensive income or loss. Transaction gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recognized as incurred in the accompanying consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. (d) Financial instruments The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on US GAAP guidance, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions, which are accounted for at the transferor's carrying amount or exchange amount. Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method of amortization. Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income. See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for fair value disclosures. (e) Cash and equivalents Cash and equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held with banks and other liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company has no cash equivalents for all periods presented. (f) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of an asset. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss during the period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is calculated to amortize the cost of the property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Plant, buildings, equipment and vehicles are stated at cost and depreciated straight line over an estimated useful life of three to eight years. Depreciation begins once the asset is in the state intended for use by management. The Company allocates the amount initially recognized in respect of an item of property and equipment to its significant parts and depreciates separately each such part. Residual values, method of depreciation and useful lives of the assets are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate. Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of the asset and are included as part of other gains or losses (g) Mineral properties and exploration and evaluation expenditures All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. Expenditures to acquire mineral rights, to develop new mines, to define further mineralization in mineral properties which are in the development or operating stage, and to expand the capacity of operating mines, are capitalized and amortized on a units-of-production basis over proven and probable reserves. Should a property be abandoned, its capitalized costs are charged to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The Company charges to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss the allocable portion of capitalized costs attributable to properties sold. Capitalized costs are allocated to properties sold based on the proportion of claims sold to the claims remaining within the project area. (h) Long-lived assets Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. (i) Asset retirement obligations The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal constructive obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the long-lived assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset, which is amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost). (j) Income taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under the asset and liability method, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be recognized. (k) Share-based compensation The Company offers a share option plan for its directors, officers, employees and consultants. ASC 718 "Compensation – Stock Compensation" prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, "Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees." Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date. (l) Earnings (loss) per share The calculation of earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for each period. The basic EPS is calculated by dividing the earnings or loss attributable to the equity owners of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of the warrants and share options. When the Company reports a loss, the diluted net loss per common share is equal to the basic net loss per common share due to the anti-dilutive effect of the outstanding warrants and share options. (m) Silver and gold recovery (loss), net of expenses Recovery of concentrate and other income is recognized when title and the risks and rewards of ownership to deliver concentrate and commodities pass to the buyer and collection is reasonably assured. Sale of concentrate is classified as silver and gold recovery, net of expenses in profit and loss because the Company has not established proven or probable ore reserves and remains in the exploration stage as defined by Industry guide 7. Not all overhead costs are applied against Silver and gold recovery. Since the Company has no reserves, the Company is treated as an exploration company and as such, direct cost, portions of fixed costs and portions of variable costs are applied against Silver and gold recovery. Other administrative, office, professional fees, and travel are disclosed separately. From time to time, some of the Company's sales of concentrate are made under provisional pricing arrangements where the final sale prices are determined by quoted market prices in a period subsequent to the date of sale. In these circumstances, sales are recorded at period end based on latest information about prices and quantities available to management for the expected date of final settlement. Under such arrangements, the Company's receivable changes as the underlying commodity market price varies, this component of the contract is an embedded derivative which is recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit and loss and receivables. Subsequent variations in prices and metal quantities are recognized as they occur. (n) Inventories Mineral concentrate and mineralized material stockpiles are physically measured or estimated and valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated future sales price of the product the entity expects to realize when the product is processed and sold, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. Where the time value of money is material, these future prices and costs to complete are discounted. If the stockpile is not expected to be processed in 12 months after the reporting date, it is included in noncurrent assets and the net realizable value is calculated on a discounted cash flow basis. Cost of silver concentrate and mineralized material stockpiles is determined by using the weighted average method and comprises direct costs and a portion of fixed and variable overhead costs incurred in converting materials into concentrate, based on the normal production capacity. Materials and supplies are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Any provision for obsolescence is determined by reference to specific items of stock. A regular review is undertaken to determine the extent of any provision for obsolescence. |

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Restricted Cash In November 2016, ASU No. 2016-18 was issued related to the inclusion of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. This new guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in the inclusion of the restricted cash balances within the overall cash balance and removal of the changes in restricted cash activities, which are currently recognized in other financing activities, on the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. Furthermore, an additional reconciliation will be required to reconcile cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets to sum to the total shown in the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. The adoption of this ASU had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Intra-Entity Transfers In October 2016, ASU No. 2016-16 was issued related to the intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This new guidance requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows In August 2016, ASU No. 2016-15 was issued related to the statement of cash flows. This new guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Leases In February 2016, ASU No. 2016-02 was issued related to leases. The new guidance modifies the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from most leases on the balance sheet. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated all contracts which could be classified as leases under the new standards and determined that any impact as a result of adoption would not be material. Investments In January 2016, ASU No. 2016-01 was issued related to financial instruments. The new guidance requires entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. This new guidance also updates certain disclosure requirements for these investments. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this ASU had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Revenue recognition In May 2014, ASU No. 2014-09 was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. This ASU was further amended in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016 and December 2016 by ASU No. 2015-14, No. 2016-08, No. 2016-10, No. 2016-12 and No. 2016-20, respectively. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. In August 2015, the effective date was deferred to reporting periods, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and will be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this ASU had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

Disclosure Text Block [Abstract] | |
Critical accounting judgments and estimates | (a) Significant judgments Preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments in applying the Company's accounting policies. Judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in these consolidated financial statements relate to functional currency; income taxes; provisions and reclamation and closure cost obligations. These judgments have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Functional Currency Management determines the functional currency for each entity. This requires that management assess the primary economic environment in which each of these entities operates. Management's determination of functional currencies affects how the Company translates foreign currency balances and transactions. Determination includes an assessment of various indicators. In determining the functional currency of the Company's operations in Canada (Canadian dollar) and Argentina (U.S. dollar), management considered the indicators of ASC 830. Income Taxes and value-added taxes receivable Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain and subject to judgment. The Company recognizes liabilities and contingencies for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company's current understanding of the tax law in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For matters where it is probable that an adjustment will be made, the Company records its best estimate of the tax liability including the related interest and penalties in the current tax provision. Management believes they have adequately provided for the probable outcome of these matters; however, the final outcome may result in a materially different outcome than the amount included in the tax liabilities. The Company has receivables due from the Argentinean government for value-added taxes. Significant estimates and judgments are involved in the assessment of recoverability of these receivables. Changes in management's impairment assumptions may result in an additional impairment provision, or a reduction to any previously recorded impairment provision, with the impact recorded in profit and loss. Provisions Management makes judgments as to whether an obligation exists and whether an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits of a liability of uncertain timing or amount is probable, not probable or remote. Management considers all available information relevant to each specific matter. Reclamation and closure costs obligations The Argentine mining regulations require that mine property be restored in accordance with specified standards and an approved reclamation plan. Significant reclamation activities include reclaiming refuse and slurry ponds, reclaiming the pit and support acreage at surface mines, and sealing portals at deep mines. The Company accrues for the cost of final mine closure reclamation over the estimated useful mining life of the property. At each period, the Company reviews the entire reclamation liability and makes necessary adjustments for revisions to cost estimates to reflect current experience. The Company has adopted ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which requires legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets to be recognized at their fair value at the time that the obligations are incurred. Upon initial recognition of a liability, that cost is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset and allocated to expense over the useful life of the asset. Title to Mineral Property Interests Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. (b) Estimation uncertainty The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company 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 period. The Company also makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment based on various assumptions and other factors such as historical experience and current and expected economic conditions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to title to mineral property interests; asset retirement obligations and inventories. These estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. The Company is also exposed to legal risk. The outcome of currently pending and future proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Thus, an adverse decision in a lawsuit could result in additional costs that are not covered, either wholly or partly, under insurance policies and that could significantly influence the business and results of operations. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Asset retirement obligation Upon retirement of the Company's mineral properties, retirement costs will be incurred by the Company. Estimates of these costs are subject to uncertainty associated with the method, timing and extent of future decommissioning activities. The liability, the related asset and the expense are affected by estimates with respect to the costs and timing of retiring the assets. Inventories Net realizable value tests are performed at each reporting date and represent the estimated future sales price of the product the Company expects to realize when the product is processed and sold, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. Where the time value of money is material, these future prices and costs to complete are discounted. Stockpiles are measured by estimating the number of tonnes added and removed from the stockpile, the number of contained mineral ounces is based on assay data, and the estimated recovery percentage is based on the expected processing method. Stockpile tonnages are verified by periodic surveys. Silver and gold recovery (loss), net of expenses From time to time, some of the Company's sales of concentrate are made under provisional pricing arrangements where the final sale prices are determined by quoted market prices in a period subsequent to the date of sale. In these circumstances, sales are recorded at period end based on latest information about prices and quantities available to management for the expected date of final settlement. Change in estimates During the year, the Company conducted a review of its plant and buildings which resulted in changes in its expected use. It was determined that the renovation work performed in 2016 and 2017 on these assets was having greater success than originally anticipated in extending their useful life. Additionally, metallurgical studies performed throughout 2018 confirmed that the plant could be successfully used to process mineralized materials from other mineral properties of the Company. It is now expected that the useful life of these assets will be extended from an original estimate of 36 months in 2017 to 87 months from December 31, 2018. |

Mineral properties | (a) Acquisition of Mina Martha project On May 6, 2016, the Company acquired the assets of the Mina Martha project from Coeur Mining Inc. ("Coeur"). The Mina Martha project consists of land, mineral rights, a mine camp, offices, a warehouse, maintenance shop, mining facilities including a flotation mill and a tailings retention facility. (b) Acquisition of La Josefina project In March 2007, the Company acquired the exploration and development rights to the La Josefina project from Fomento Minero de Santa Cruz Sociedad del Estado ("Fomicruz"). In July 2007, the Company entered into an agreement (subsequently amended) with Fomicruz which provides that, in the event that a positive feasibility study is completed on the La Josefina property, a Joint Venture Corporation ("JV Corporation") would be formed by the Company and Fomicruz. The Company would own 81% of the joint venture company and Fomicruz would own the remaining 19%. Fomicruz has the option to earn up to a 49% participating interest in the JV Corporation by reimbursing the Company an equivalent amount, up to 49%, of the exploration investment made by the Company. The Company has the right to buy back any increase in Fomicruz's ownership interest in the JV Corporation at a purchase price of USD$200,000 per each percentage interest owned by Fomicruz down to its initial ownership interest of 19%; the Company can also purchase 10% of the Fomicruz's initial 19% JV Corporation ownership interest by negotiating a purchase price with Fomicruz. Under the agreement, the Company has until the end of 2019 to complete cumulative exploration expenditures of $18 million and determine if it will enter into production on the property. At December 31, 2018, the Company had incurred approximately $20 million and is in current discussions with Fomicruz to develop a plan for production in early to mid-2019. As at December 31, 2018 this project has a carrying amount of $Nil (2017 - $Nil) on the consolidated balance sheet. (c) Acquisition of La Valenciana project On November 1, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement for the exploration of the La Valenciana project in Santa Cruz province, Argentina. The agreement is for a total of 7 years, expiring on October 31, 2019. The agreement requires the Company to spend $5,000,000 in exploration on the project over 7 years. If the Company elects to exercise its option to bring the La Valenciana project into production, it must grant Fomicruz a 9% ownership in a new JV Corporation to be created by the Company to manage the project and the Company will have a 91% ownership interest in the JV Corporation.

Financial Instruments | The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, performance bond, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, bank indebtedness, loan payable, interest payable, and long-term debt. The Company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the degree to which they are observable. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: · Level 1: inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. · Level 2: inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, market interest rates, and volatility factors, which can be observed or corroborated in the market place. · Level 3: inputs are less observable, unavoidable or where the observable data does not support the majority of the instruments' fair value. Fair value As at December 31, 2018, there were no changes in the levels in comparison to December 31, 2017. The fair values of financial instruments are summarized as follows: December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Carrying amount Fair value Carrying amount Fair value $ $ $ $ Financial Assets FVTPL Cash (Level 1) 115,372 115,372 78,145 78,145 Available for sale Performance bond (Level 1) 315,378 315,378 434,639 434,639 Loans and receivables Accounts receivable 1,474,303 1,474,303 2,144,830 2,144,830 Financial Liabilities Other financial liabilities Bank indebtedness 330,000 330,000 - - Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 6,328,861 6,328,861 6,673,319 6,673,319 Transaction taxes payable 129 129 47,188 47,188 Interest payable 320,669 320,669 151,024 151,024 Loan payable 3,198,569 3,198,569 1,062,428 1,062,428 Long-term debt 1,253,017 1,253,017 1,731,022 1,731,022 Cash and performance bond are measured based on Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy on a recurring basis. The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, bank indebtedness, loan payable, interest payable, and long-term debt approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments and because long-term debt approximates a market rate of interest. The Company assessed that there were no indicators of impairment for these financial instruments. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one institution. Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables and VAT recoverable and are not considered subject to significant risk, because the amounts are due from a government and a customer who is considered credit worthy. The Company has concentrations of credit risk with respect to its trade receivables, the majority of which are concentrated geographically in Argentina amongst a small number of customers. As at December 31, 2018, the Company had one customer whose trade receivable of $438,042 (December 31, 2017 – $1,144,710) accounted for greater than 10% of the total trade receivables. The Company controls credit risk through monitoring procedures, and by performing credit evaluations of its customers, but generally does not require collateral to secure accounts receivable. The Company has concentrations in the volume of sales it made to customers. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company made sales of $3,961,399 to one customer which accounted for greater than 10% of the total silver and gold recovery, net of expenses (2017 - $8,740,854). The Company currently maintains a substantial portion of its day-to-day operating cash balances at financial institutions. At December 31, 2018, the Company had total cash balances of $115,372 (December 31, 2017- $78,145) at financial institutions, where $Nil (December 31, 2017- $Nil) is in excess of federally insured limits. |
