ASC 930-10 is the Overall subtopic of the Extractive Activities—Mining Topic; it identifies which entities fall within the Topic's scope and supplies definitions of mining industry terms. The Topic contains six subtopics (Overall, Inventory, Property Plant and Equipment, Compensation—Retirement Benefits, Business Combinations, and Consolidation) and provides only incremental industry-specific guidance, so mining entities must also apply all other applicable GAAP. It applies to all mining entities except oil- and gas-producing entities, which follow Topic 932.

Key points (5)
  • The Extractive Activities—Mining Topic comprises the Overall, Inventory, Property Plant and Equipment, Compensation—Retirement Benefits, Business Combinations, and Consolidation Subtopics (930-10-05-1).
  • The Overall Subtopic provides scope identification and definitions of industry terms for mining extractive activities (930-10-05-2).
  • The Subtopics provide only incremental industry-specific guidance; entities in scope must also comply with applicable guidance outside this Topic (930-10-15-1).
  • The Topic applies to all mining entities except those specifically excepted (930-10-15-2).
  • Oil- and gas-producing entities are excluded and instead follow Topic 932 (930-10-15-3(a)).

For students. This is a scope-and-roadmap subtopic: the common mistake is treating industry topics as self-contained, when in fact mining entities apply general GAAP plus these incremental rules, and oil and gas is a separate regime under Topic 932.
