Frequently Asked Questions

How is coal mining depletion calculated?

Depletion is calculated using the units-of-production method: (Asset book value - residual value) × (current year tonnage produced ÷ estimated total proven reserves). Reserve estimates must be periodically updated by geologists to maintain accuracy.

What is ARO and when should it be recognized?

Asset Retirement Obligation (ARO) is the obligation for post-mining decommissioning and land restoration. ARO is recognized when the asset is installed or the environment is disturbed, measured at the present value of estimated future restoration costs, with the debit side capitalized as part of the asset acquisition cost.

Can exploration costs be capitalized?

Exploration and evaluation costs can be capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets in accordance with PSAK 64 if they meet the criteria: the right to explore has been obtained, there are technically and commercially proven reserves, and the expenditure can be reliably measured.
