Accounting Policy

 

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost of acquisition, formation or construction, minus accumulated depreciation or depletion and any impairment loss. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the remaining useful life of assets or the term of the contract, whichever is shorter. The depletion of mines is calculated based on the quantity of ore mined. Land is not depreciated since their useful life is considered indefinite. All other disbursements are expensed as incurred.

 

·Capitalized interest

 

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction and or production of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset when it is probable that they will result in future economic benefits and on which date they are ready to determine their functions in the manner intended by the Company.

 

·Development costs of new ore deposits

 

Costs for the development of new ore deposits, or for the expansion of the capacity of the mines in operation are capitalized and amortized by the method of units produced (extracted) based on the probable and proven quantities of ore.

 

·Exploration expenses

 

Exploration expenses are recognized as expenses until the viability of the mining activity is established; after that period, subsequent costs are capitalized.

 

·Waste removal costs

 

Expenses incurred during the development phase of a mine, prior to the production phase, are accounted for as part of the depreciable development costs. Subsequently, these costs are amortized over the useful life of the mine on the basis of probable and proven reserves.

 

·Stripping costs

 

The stripping costs incurred in the production phase are added to the stock value, except when a specific extraction campaign is carried out to access deeper deposits of the deposit. In this case, costs are capitalized and classified in non-current assets and are amortized over the useful life of the deposit.
