[1] | Asset retirement obligation assets are adjusted when the Company updates its reclamatio n provisions due to new cash flow estimates or changes in discount and inflation rates. When the assets of an operation have been written off due to an impairment, as is the case with our Rabbit Lake operation and some of our operations in the United States , the adjustment is recorded directly to the statement of earnings as other operating expense or income .
