   This Subtopic gives industry-specific guidance on how a mining entity measures mineral rights and other mining assets in a business combination purchase price allocation. It requires that value beyond proven and probable reserves (VBPP) be included in the value allocated to mining assets to the extent a market participant would include it, and that anticipated future mineral price fluctuations be reflected consistently with marketplace participant expectations.
