Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements and as a result, they are condensed. In the opinion of the Companys management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Going Concern The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and does not have sufficient cash to fund normal operations and meet debt obligations for the next 12 months without deferring payment on certain current liabilities and/or raising additional funds. The Company currently has no historical recurring source of revenue, negative working capital of $ 11,938,034 40,897,452 |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Earnings (Loss) Per Share We are authorized to issue 750,000,000 0.10 188,448,412 For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, potentially dilutive shares including outstanding stock options, warrants, convertible interest, and convertible preferred stock were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because they were anti-dilutive due to net losses in those periods. For the periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, potentially dilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share are as follows: Schedule of Anti-Dilutive Stock Common Stock Equivalent March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022 Stock options 1,025,000 1,050,000 Warrants 18,114,446 19,667,077 Convertible Preferred Stock 30,190,475 32,190,475 Convertible interest payable 153,932,841 112,240,467 Total 203,262,762 165,148,019 Fair Value Measurements When required to measure assets or liabilities at fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used. The Company determines the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. The categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 uses significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 uses significant unobservable inputs. The amount of the total gains or losses for the period are included in earnings that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date. During 2023 and 2022, the Company determined fair value on a recurring basis and non-recurring basis as follows: Schedule of Fair Value On Recurring and Non-Recurring Basis Balance Balance Fair Value Liabilities Recurring: Notes payable in gold (Note 7) $ 528,161 $ 483,514 2 The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including notes payable and notes payable – related party, approximate fair value at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] | |
JOINT VENTURE | 3. JOINT VENTURE On April 3, 2012, Goldrich Placer, LLC (GP), a subsidiary of Goldrich, entered into a term sheet for a joint venture with NyacAU, LLC (NyacAU), an Alaskan private company, to bring Goldrichs Chandalar placer gold properties into production as defined in the joint venture agreement (the Operating Agreement), which was subsequently signed and made effective April 2, 2012. In each case as used herein in reference to the JV, production is as defined by the Operating Agreement. As part of the Operating Agreement, GP and NyacAU (together the Members) formed a 50:50 joint venture company, Goldrich NyacAU Placer LLC (GNP), to operate the Chandalar placer mines, with NyacAU acting as managing partner. Arbitration In December 2017, the Company filed an arbitration statement of claim against NyacAU and other parties. The claim challenged certain accounting treatment of capital leases, allocations of tax losses, charges to the JV for funding costs related to the JV managers financing, related-party transactions, and other items of dispute in a previous mediation that was unsuccessful in reaching an agreement. As a result, the Company participated in an arbitration before a panel of three independent arbitrators during 2018 through 2022 to address these items. Settlement Agreement On March 31, 2023, the Company signed a settlement agreement between the Company, NyacAU, LLC (NyacAU), Goldrich Placer, LLC (GP), Goldrich NyacAU Placer, LLC (GNP), Dr. J. Michael James, individually (Dr. James), and Bear Leasing, LLC (Bear Leasing) (each a Party and, collectively, the Parties). In April 2023, all outstanding arbitration issues were resolved with a settlement agreement whereby Goldrich paid $105,000 to NyacAU. The resolution includes all outstanding arbitration issues, awards, and orders including mutual release of all outstanding issues before the Alaska superior court and all court-entered judgments. The agreement also terminates and supersedes all prior agreements between all Parties except a security agreement between NyacAU and GNP to secure repayment of fifty percent (50%) of a funding mechanism known as Line of Credit 1 (LOC1), which was advanced by NyacAU to GNP. GNP was formally dissolved in 2019. Even though the settlement agreement was consummated subsequent to the end of the 2022 year, the arbitration claim was filed and has been open since 2018; therefore, the event requires the financial effects to be reflected in the financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2022. As a result, the previous expense accruals of $638,193 for arbitration awards and interest made in 2021 and prior years were removed and the settlement amount of $105,000 was recorded. This resulted in a gain on settlement being recorded at December 31, 2022 of $533,193. Option Agreement Concurrent with signing the settlement agreement, Goldrich also signed an option agreement with the Parties. The option agreement, among other things, grants Goldrich, or its designee, the right, but not the obligation, to become operator of the Chandalar placer mining permit. If the option is exercised, Goldrich or its designee would also obtain ownership of all camp facilities and mining equipment remaining at the Chandalar placer mine site owned by NyacAU and its affiliates. Currently Goldrich owns the claims but NyacAU is the named operator on the mining permits. To exercise the option, Goldrich, or its designee, must give written and electronic notice of its intent to do so by April 30, 2024 and pay $1,000,000 into escrow within five business days of giving notice. Upon exercise of the option, Goldrich or its designee would assume all reclamation responsibilities and liability and NyacAU would be released from any reclamation liability. Also, NyacAU would be entitled to limited payments out of the production of placer gold at the Chandalar placer mine up to the greater of $8,500,000 or 4,860 ounces of fine gold (the Maximum Amount). No production payment shall be due to NyacAU on the first 5,000 ounces of fine gold production. Thereafter, NyacAU would receive at least 5% of all production from the Chandalar placer mine until the Maximum Amount is paid. Additionally, after the first 5,000 ounces of fine gold production, NyacAU would be entitled to a minimum annual payment equal to the value of $120,000 or 68 fine gold ounces, whichever is greater, and such payment would apply towards the satisfaction of the Maximum Amount. |

Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements When required to measure assets or liabilities at fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used. The Company determines the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. The categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 uses significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 uses significant unobservable inputs. The amount of the total gains or losses for the period are included in earnings that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date. During 2023 and 2022, the Company determined fair value on a recurring basis and non-recurring basis as follows: Schedule of Fair Value On Recurring and Non-Recurring Basis Balance Balance Fair Value Liabilities Recurring: Notes payable in gold (Note 7) $ 528,161 $ 483,514 2 The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including notes payable and notes payable – related party, approximate fair value at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
