(a) Recognition and measurement
(i)
Mine properties
Mine properties in development
Mine properties in development represent the expenditure incurred when technical feasibility and commercial viability of
extracting a mineral resource have been demonstrated, and includes the costs incurred up until such time as the asset
is capable of being operated in a manner intended by management. These costs are not amortised but the carrying
value is assessed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may
exceed its recoverable amount.
