Property, Plant and Equipment, Preproduction Design and Development Costs

Pre-Development Activities

Pre-development activities involve cost incurred in the exploration stage that may ultimately benefit production, such as underground ramp development, pumping, and open pit development, which are expensed due to the lack of evidence of economic development, which is necessary to demonstrate future recoverability of these expenses. These cost are charged to operations as incurred.
