| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | ||||
| Income taxes |
The deferred income tax liability relates to the acquisition of the Pathfinder Mining Company. When the Company acquired Pathfinder, it had no basis in its remaining assets. Accordingly, the Company has no tax basis in these assets. Under US GAAP, the Company has to record a liability for the estimated additional taxes that would arise on the disposition of those assets because of the lack of basis in those assets. |
