Nero Mines paid $427,000 for the right to extract ore from a 300,000-ton mineral deposit. In addition to the purchase price, Nero Mines paid a $125 filing fee to the country recorder, a $2,200 license fee to the state of Colorado, and $65,675 for a geologic survey. Because the company purchased the rights to the minerals only, it expects this mineral rights asset to have a residual value of zero when it is fully depleted. During the first year of production, Nero Mines removed 45,000 tons of ore, of which it sold 39,000 tons.
