Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Segment Information

We operate in two reportable segments: Underground and Surface. Crushing and conveying operating results related to surface applications are reported as part of the Surface segment, while total crushing and conveying operating results are included in the Underground segment. Eliminations consist of the surface applications of crushing and conveying included in both operating segments.

Operating income (loss) of segments does not include interest income and expense, corporate administration expenses and the provision for income taxes. Identifiable assets are those used in our operations in each segment. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, deferred tax assets, property, plant and equipment and deferred financing costs.
