Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation [Policy Text Block]	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("interim financial statements") of Dakota Territory Resource Corp. ("we", "us", "our", the "Company", "Dakota Territory") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended March 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, have been omitted. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements. Unless otherwise noted, there have been no material changes to the footnotes from those accompanying the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Uncertainties and Economic Development In March 2020, the World Health Organization designated the new coronavirus ("COVID-19") as a global pandemic. Federal, state and local governments have mandated orders to slow the transmission of the virus, including but not limited to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, restrictions on travel, and work restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has resulted in significant volatility in the financial markets. The restrictions put in place by federal, state and local governments could delay our exploratory programs on our mineral properties. Furthermore, the impact of the pandemic on the global economy could also negatively impact the availability and cost of future borrowings should the need arise. It is unknown how long the adverse conditions associated with the pandemic will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the Company. The Company continues to monitor the impact that the pandemic, including relief bills enacted in response thereto, may have on operations. Currently, the Company is unable to determine the impact that the pandemic will have on its financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. Reverse Stock Split On May 13, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock at a ratio of 1-for-4. The reverse stock split was made effective on May 25, 2021 and all share numbers and common stock prices presented give effect to the reverse split. Merger Agreement Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, JR Resources Corp. ("JR") and the Company have incorporated a new company ("NewCo") that will acquire all of the outstanding securities of JR and of the Company in exchange for securities of NewCo (the "Merger"). Shareholders of JR will receive a number of NewCo shares of common stock equal to their percentage shareholding in JR multiplied by the 35,641,667 Dakota Territory shares that JR owns. Shareholders of the Company other than JR will receive one share of common stock of NewCo for each share of common stock of the Company. In addition, at the closing of the Merger, (i) each outstanding option to purchase the Company's common stock, whether vested or unvested, will be assumed and converted into an option with respect to a number of shares of NewCo common stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement, (ii) each outstanding warrant to purchase JR common stock, whether or not exercisable, will be assumed and converted into a warrant with respect to a number of shares of NewCo common stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement, (iii) any outstanding awards of restricted stock units with respect to shares of the Company's common stock will be assumed and converted into the right to receive an award of restricted stock units representing a right to receive a number of shares of NewCo common stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement and (iv) NewCo will change its name to "Dakota Gold Corp." The completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions for a transaction of this nature, including securities law compliance, the approval of JR shareholders and the approval of the Company's shareholders. In addition, in connection with the Merger, the Company and JR intend to cause NewCo to prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-4 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). On April 30, 2021, the Company incorporated Dakota Gold Services (Canada) Corp. ("Dakota Canada") under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. These financial statements consolidate Dakota Canada, a wholly-owned subsidiary.
