Nature Of Business [Abstract] | |
NATURE OF BUSINESS | NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS Standard Metals Processing, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Standard Metals” or the “Company”) is an exploration stage company, incorporated in Nevada having offices in Gadsden, Alabama and through its subsidiary, a property in Tonopah, Nevada. The business plan is to purchase and install the equipment necessary to complete a facility on the Tonopah property to serve as a permitted custom processing toll milling facility (which includes an analytical lab, pyrometallurgical plant, and hydrometallurgical recovery plant). The Company plans to perform permitted custom processing toll milling which is a process whereby mined material is crushed and ground into fine particles to ease the extraction of any precious minerals contained therein, such as minerals in the gold, silver and platinum metal groups. Custom milling and refining can include many different processes that are designed specifically for each ore load and to maximize the extraction of precious metals from carbon or concentrates. These toll-processing services also distill, dry, mix, or mill chemicals and bulk materials on a contractual basis and provide a chemical production outsourcing option for industrial companies, which lack the expertise, capacity, or regulatory permits for in-house production. We are required to obtain several permits before we can begin construction of a small-scale mineral processing facility to conduct permitted processing toll milling activities and construction of the required additional buildings and well relocation necessary for us to commence operations. Going Concern The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had a net loss of $579,221. At September 30, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $104,441,348 and a working capital deficit of $10,260,900. Additionally, all of the Company’s assets are under lien pursuant to the First Deed of Trust, UCC filings and the pledge of 100% of the common stock of the Company’s subsidiary Tonopah Milling and Metals Group, Inc. and that of its wholly owned subsidiaries Tonopah Custom Processing, Inc., (“TCP”) and Tonopah Resources, Inc. (“TR”). Held by GPR, a related party. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on their ability to raise the required additional capital or debt financing to meet short and long-term operating requirements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a related party advanced $190,665 on the Company’s behalf to pay certain operating expenses directly. As the related party intends to apply its advance toward a convertible note, it has been classified as such at September 30, 2020. Management believes that private placements of equity capital and/or additional debt financing will be needed to fund our long-term operating requirements. The Company may also encounter business endeavors that require significant cash commitments or unanticipated problems or expenses that could result in a requirement for additional cash. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our operations. We are continuing to pursue external financing alternatives to improve our working capital position. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may have to cease operations. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Standard Metals Processing, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary Tonopah Milling and Metals Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Tonopah Custom Processing, Inc., (“TCP”) and Tonopah Resources, Inc. (“TR”) All significant intercompany transactions, accounts and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed April 2, 2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise indicated) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year as a whole. Mineral Properties Mineral property acquisition costs are recorded at cost and are deferred until the viability of the property is determined. No properties have produced operating revenues at this time. Exploration, mineral property evaluation, option payments, related acquisition costs for mineral properties acquired under an option agreement, general overhead, administrative and holding costs to maintain a property on a care and maintenance basis are expensed in the period they are incurred. When reserves are determined for a property and a bankable feasibility study is completed, subsequent exploration and development costs on the property would be capitalized. If a project were to be put into production, capitalized costs would be depleted on the unit of production basis. Management reviews the net carrying value of each mineral property as changes may materialize with a property or at a minimum, on an annual basis. Where information and conditions suggest impairment, estimated future net cash flows from each property are calculated using estimated future prices, proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves, and operating, capital and reclamation costs on an undiscounted basis. If it is determined that the future cash flows are less than the carrying value, a write-down to the estimated fair value is made with a charge to loss for the period. Where estimates of future net cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, management assesses if the carrying value can be recovered. Management’s estimates of gold prices, recoverable reserves, probable outcomes, operating capital and reclamation costs are subject to risks and uncertainties that may affect the recoverability of mineral property costs. The Company does not own any mining claims. It owns tailings located on the Tonopah property and some tailings located in Manhattan, Nevada. The Company has not disturbed or processed any of this material and does not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets The Company will periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including but not limited to, mineral properties, mine tailings, mine dumps, capital assets and intangible assets, when events and circumstances warrant such a review and at least annually. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose. Use of Estimates Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue As of September 30, 2020, the Company has not recognized any revenues from custom permitted processing toll milling. If we achieve revenue generation, the Company plans to report such revenues consistent with ASC Topic 606. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for based upon an asset and liability approach. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements. Deferred tax amounts are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under currently enacted tax law. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period. Accounting guidance requires the recognition of a financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained upon examination and accordingly, no reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties have been recorded at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within income tax expense. On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed and enacted into law H.R. 1 (the “Tax Reform Law”). The Tax Reform Law, effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, except for certain provisions, resulted in significant changes to existing United States tax law, including various provisions that are expected to impact the Company. The Tax Reform Law reduces the federal corporate tax rate from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. Management believes the provisions of the Tax Reform Law will have a favorable impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements should it attain a level of profitable operations. Recent Accounting Standards In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and through the date of this filing, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

MINING AND MINERAL RIGHTS | NOTE 3 – MINING AND MINERAL RIGHTS The Company is preparing the Tonopah property site for the construction of a permitted custom processing toll milling facility including grading the land, installing fencing and working with contractors for our planned 21,875 square foot building and servicing and drilling various wells for our future operations. The Company has continued to assess the realizability of its mining and mineral rights. Based on an assessment the Company conducted in January 2020. The Company decided its land, mineral rights and water rights are inseparable and depend upon each other in value creation. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company combined the carrying value of the assets to present more clearly their intended use together. |

CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE | NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE On March 16, 2020 the Company executed a Line of Credit (“LOC”) with Granite Peak Resources, LLC (“GPR”), a related party, evidenced by a convertible promissory note. The LOC is for up to $2,500,000, provides that all requests for funds may be approved or disapproved in GPR’s sole discretion, matures over three years, bears interest at 10% per annum, is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share price of $0.04, and will be secured by the real and personal property GPR already has under lien or in pledge. See Note 7. The LOC is for funding operating expenses critical to the Company’s redirection including the resolution, on terms and conditions satisfactory to GPR, of the Company’s claims. However, GPR and the Company make no representation that the Company’s claims can be satisfactorily resolved voluntarily. Accordingly, GPR and the Company reserve all rights to employ every means legally available to seek the Company’s recapitalization. At December 31, 2019, GPR had advanced $13,575 in contemplation of the LOC. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 GPR advanced an additional $190,665 which it used to pay directly certain operating expenses on the Company’s behalf. Both advances, amounting to $204,230 in total, have been included in the convertible promissory note issued by the Company in connection with the LOC and classified accordingly at September 30, 2020. Including the foregoing advances under the LOC, there was $304,240 of principal and $114,069 of accrued interest outstanding on convertible debentures at September 30, 2020. With exception of the $204,240 of principal advanced under the LOI to date, the pre-existing convertible note is in default. |

An amended final judgment was ordered in adjudication of the Complaint by the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado (the “Court”) on August 28, 2015 in favor of Flechner in the amount of $2,157,000, plus interest through the date of judgment of $235,246, plus interest of $472.76/day from August 28, 2015 until paid in full. The Company, in good faith anticipation of a settlement did not appeal the judgment and therefore, the Company’s notice of appeal was dismissed on November 17, 2015. This judgment is now non-appealable. The Company has recognized the daily interest due from the date of the August 28, 2015 judgment through September 30, 2020, totaling $921,882, resulting in a total amount of $3,314,128 being included in the Accrual for settlement of lawsuits relating to this matter in the accompanying September 30, 2020 condensed consolidated balance sheet. |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During March 2019, the Company was informed that a change of control of the Company had occurred. Granite Peak Resources, LLC (“GPR”) through its members (including Pure Path Capital Management LLC) acquired 69,464,434 shares of common stock (including 4,500,000 warrants to purchase common stock). The members transferred their shares of common stock of the Company in exchange for a pro-rata ownership interest in GPR. GPR also acquired the senior secured creditor position previously held by Pure Path Capital Group LLC, which includes a $2,500,000 First Deed of Trust on the Tonopah property and an outstanding promissory note with a principal balance of $2,229,187 and accrued interest of $1,283,644 as of September 30, 2020. The members of Granite Peak Resources LLC are listed in the Schedule 13D filed by GPR on March 29, 2019. GPR has not communicated to the Company any plans to change any of the current officers or directors or governing documents and has expressed the purpose of its acquisition is to assist the Company execute on its business plan and resolve its current obligations and other claims. Neither GPR nor the Company, however, can give any assurances that such creditors or claimants will be amicably resolved. As of the date of this filing, GPR is the beneficial owner of 56.4% of the Company’s common stock and the Company’s largest secured creditor. The background regarding Pure Path’s Senior Secured Note is described below. During the Company’s acquisition of the Shea assets in 2011, Pure Path purchased the Loan Modification Agreement and the NJB Forbearance Agreement directly from NJB Mining, Inc. In connection with the assignment of a forbearance agreement the Company and Pure Path executed an Agreement in Principle setting forth terms of the forbearance agreement which were subsequently further revised pursuant to Settlement and Release Agreement executed October 10, 2013 with the Company (collectively the “Pure Path Agreements”).The Pure Path Agreements provided for Pure Path’s forbearance of collection remedies and legal proceedings against the Company including foreclosure on the Deed of Trust, and, in connection with the settlement and release of various debts of approximately $1,500,000 and the consulting fees owed by the Company, the Company issued 27,000,000 restricted shares and a Promissory Note (the “Pure Path Note”) for an amount of up to $2,500,000 with a beginning principal balance of $1,933,345 bearing interest of 8% per year for the current balance of the amounts owed under the Pure Path Agreements. The forbearance period has long since expired and the Pure Path Note has retained all of its original remedies under its First Deed of Trust. In addition, pursuant to a Forbearance Agreement with GPR dated December 20, 2019, the Company pledged of 100% of its stock in Tonopah Milling and Metals Group, Inc. and that of its subsidiaries TCP and TR, in exchange for GPR’s agreement to forbear foreclosure proceedings for six months further securing GPR’s combined Pure Path Note and LOC positions. The outstanding principal balance on the Pure Path Note was $2,229,187 as of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, with related accrued interest of $1,283,644 and $1,143,474, respectively. This Senior Secured Note is in default. GPR’s LOC position is described in Note 4. On February 11, 2015, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) to Tina Gregerson Family Properties, LLC, an entity controlled by a former director of the Company. The Note for up to $750,000 was provided in tranches. Maturity of each tranche is one year from the date of receipt. Interest accrues at 8% per annum on each tranche. Under the terms of the Note, the Company received $477,500. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there is $210,761 and $182,084 interest accrued. This Note is in default. On April 17, 2020, the Company and Sustainable Metal Solutions, LLC (“SMS”), an affiliate of GPR, agreed to form a joint venture styled Esmeralda Renewal Energy Zone (“EREZ”). The Company has agreed to contribute the solar energy rights attributable to its 1,083 acres to EREZ in exchange for SMS’s agreement to develop, manage and underwrite the EREZ venture. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE | NOTE 8 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of options, warrants and conversion of convertible debt. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. At September 30, 2020 the weighted average shares from stock options of 24,500,000, warrants of 250,000, and Convertible Promissory note shares of 5,306,000 , and at December 31, 2019 the weighted average shares from stock options of 32,576,223 warrants of 4,865,640 and Convertible Promissory note shares of 650,869 were excluded from the diluted weighted average common share calculation due to the antidilutive effect such shares would have on net loss per common share. |

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On October 15, 2020, options to purchase 21,750,000 common shares expired reducing the 24,500,000 options outstanding at September 30, 2020 to 2,750,000. The balance and components of current assets are fairly consistent between periods. The increase in current liabilities is primarily due to accrual of interest on settlement of lawsuits and notes due related parties. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Standard Metals Processing, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary Tonopah Milling and Metals Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Tonopah Custom Processing, Inc., (“TCP”) and Tonopah Resources, Inc. (“TR”) All significant intercompany transactions, accounts and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed April 2, 2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise indicated) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year as a whole. |
Mineral Properties | Mineral Properties Mineral property acquisition costs are recorded at cost and are deferred until the viability of the property is determined. No properties have produced operating revenues at this time. Exploration, mineral property evaluation, option payments, related acquisition costs for mineral properties acquired under an option agreement, general overhead, administrative and holding costs to maintain a property on a care and maintenance basis are expensed in the period they are incurred. When reserves are determined for a property and a bankable feasibility study is completed, subsequent exploration and development costs on the property would be capitalized. If a project were to be put into production, capitalized costs would be depleted on the unit of production basis. Management reviews the net carrying value of each mineral property as changes may materialize with a property or at a minimum, on an annual basis. Where information and conditions suggest impairment, estimated future net cash flows from each property are calculated using estimated future prices, proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves, and operating, capital and reclamation costs on an undiscounted basis. If it is determined that the future cash flows are less than the carrying value, a write-down to the estimated fair value is made with a charge to loss for the period. Where estimates of future net cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, management assesses if the carrying value can be recovered. Management’s estimates of gold prices, recoverable reserves, probable outcomes, operating capital and reclamation costs are subject to risks and uncertainties that may affect the recoverability of mineral property costs. The Company does not own any mining claims. It owns tailings located on the Tonopah property and some tailings located in Manhattan, Nevada. The Company has not disturbed or processed any of this material and does not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets The Company will periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including but not limited to, mineral properties, mine tailings, mine dumps, capital assets and intangible assets, when events and circumstances warrant such a review and at least annually. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue | Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue As of September 30, 2020, the Company has not recognized any revenues from custom permitted processing toll milling. If we achieve revenue generation, the Company plans to report such revenues consistent with ASC Topic 606. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for based upon an asset and liability approach. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements. Deferred tax amounts are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under currently enacted tax law. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period. Accounting guidance requires the recognition of a financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained upon examination and accordingly, no reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties have been recorded at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within income tax expense. On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed and enacted into law H.R. 1 (the “Tax Reform Law”). The Tax Reform Law, effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, except for certain provisions, resulted in significant changes to existing United States tax law, including various provisions that are expected to impact the Company. The Tax Reform Law reduces the federal corporate tax rate from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. Management believes the provisions of the Tax Reform Law will have a favorable impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements should it attain a level of profitable operations. |
Recent Accounting Standards | Recent Accounting Standards In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and through the date of this filing, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
