Organization And Nature Of Business [Abstract]
Organization and Nature of Business [Text Block]	NOTE 1 - Organization and Nature of Business Organization Dakota Gold Corp., ("we," "us", "our," "the Company," "Dakota Gold" or "DGC") was incorporated as JR Resources Corp. ("JR") on November 15, 2017 under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia, Canada). The Company focuses its business efforts on the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in the United States of America ("U.S."). On May 22, 2020, the Company completed the domestication process and changed its registration from the Province of British Columbia, Canada to the State of Nevada. On March 31, 2022, the Company completed a merger with Dakota Territory Resource Corp., a Nevada corporation ("Dakota Territory" or "DTRC"), pursuant to which Dakota Territory stockholders, other than Dakota Gold, were entitled to receive one share of Dakota Gold common stock for each share of Dakota Territory common stock (the "DTRC Merger"). As a result of the DTRC Merger, Dakota Gold delivered 35,209,316 shares of the Company's common stock to former holders of Dakota Territory common stock. On May 14, 2024, following the receipt of approval by its shareholders, the Company changed its state of incorporation from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware. The Company currently operates in one segment, mineral exploration in the United States. Liquidity The Company's mineral properties are at the exploration stage and are without declared mineral reserves or mineral resources, except for the mineral resource estimate contained in the Company's inaugural technical report summary for the Richmond Hill property, which was prepared in accordance with Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("S-K 1300"), and which was completed in April 2024. Therefore, our mineral properties have not generated revenues. The business of exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines (see Risk Factors in the Company's 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023). Major expenditures are required to establish ore reserves, to develop metallurgical processes, to acquire construction and operating permits, and to construct mining and processing facilities. The amounts shown as mineral rights and properties represent acquisition and holding costs and do not necessarily represent present or future recoverable values. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral rights and properties is dependent upon the Company obtaining the necessary financing to complete the necessary exploration of the properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, development of the properties and future profitable operations or through sale of the assets. These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 ("financial statements") have been prepared on the assumption that the Company and its subsidiaries will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not advanced its properties to commercial production and is not able to finance day-to-day activities through operations. The Company's management believes its cash balance of approximately $14.70 million as of September 30, 2024, the Company's working capital of approximately $8.35 million, the anticipated ability to utilize the ATM program during the year and the ability to scale down the exploration program, if needed, alleviate doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months beyond the date of these financial statements. On June 26, 2024, the Company entered into a binding agreement with certain entities managed by Orion Mine Finance ("Orion"), for an investment of approximately $5.86 million in the Company. On July 2, 2024, Orion purchased 2,344,836 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $2.50 per share for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $5.71 million in a registered direct offering (the "Orion Equity Investment"). Separately, with the consummation of the Orion Equity Investment, the Company sold to Orion a 1% net smelter return royalty interest on certain properties held by the Company for total consideration of approximately $0.18 million.

In addition, the Company has 100% ownership in the Barrick Option and the Richmond Hill Properties upon exercise of their underlying option payments. All are located in the heart of the Homestake District. The individual claims, properties, options, and leases are aggregated into a single unit mining property, which we refer to as the "Black Hills Property. " On January 12, 2024 (the "closing date"), the Company closed an agreement to purchase various databases, mining permits and real properties in Lawrence County, South Dakota from VMC, LLC ("VMC") for total consideration of $3.30 million, as well as a contingent payment of $2.10 million upon the first of either of the following "triggering events: (i) the first commercial gold production or (ii) on a change of control, if the Company still owns the real property.

The VWAP of the Company's shares of common stock for the 20-day period immediately prior to the initial closing date was $2.57 per share. On the closing date, the Company issued a total of 640,638 shares of its common stock, valued at $2.11 per share, the closing price of the Company's stock on the day before the closing date and paid closing costs of approximately $0.22 million. The total capitalized value of consideration transferred for the first tranche was approximately $1.36 million. The second payment due in October 2024 of approximately $1.65 million was capitalized at its present value of approximately $1.51 million on January 12, 2024, which reflects a discount rate of 11.66%. As of September 30, 2024, the carrying amount of the second payment due was approximately $1.64 million and is included as a deferred payment in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, interest expense was approximately $0.05 million and $0.13 million, respectively.

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity [Text Block]	NOTE 6 - Stockholders' Equity Common Stock The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share with respect to all matters required by law to be submitted to stockholders. The holders of common stock have the sole right to vote. The common stock does not have any cumulative voting, pre-emptive, subscription or conversion rights. Election of directors requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of shares represented at a meeting, and other general stockholder action (other than an amendment to our certificate of incorporation or as otherwise provided in the Delaware General Corporation Law) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of shares represented at a meeting in which a quorum is represented. The Company's certificate of incorporation provides that the Company is authorized to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of common stock. The outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. On October 21, 2022, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with BMO Capital Markets Corp. and Canaccord Genuity LLC (collectively, the "Sales Agents"), to establish an "at the market" program (The "ATM program").

Share Issuances During the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company utilized its ATM program to raise net proceeds of approximately $7.67 million by issuing 3,433,057 shares of common stock.

Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company issued 707,940 shares of common stock at a fair value of $2.33 per share to VMC to settle the second of two tranches of the balance payment due (Note 3) . Share Issuances During the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company utilized its ATM program to raise net proceeds of approximately $15.44 million by issuing 5,470,564 shares of common stock.

Commitments and Contingencies [Text Block]	NOTE 7 - Commitments and Contingencies The Company may become party to various legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is subject to audit by tax and other authorities for varying periods in various federal, state and local jurisdictions, and disputes may arise during the course of these audits. It is impossible to determine the ultimate liabilities that the Company may incur resulting from any of these potential lawsuits, claims, proceedings, audits, commitments, contingencies and related matters or the timing of these liabilities, if any. If such matters were to ultimately be resolved unfavorably, it is possible that such an outcome could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. The Company does not, however, anticipate such an outcome and it believes the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
