85‑5 Choosing a valuation approach

(1) An *entity may choose which valuation approach to apply to all *starting base assets (and all property or rights that are expected to be starting base assets after the time mentioned in subsection 80‑25(2)) that the entity *holds that relate to: (a) a mining project interest that the entity has; or (b) a *pre‑mining project interest that the entity holds.

(2) The choice must specify whether the *entity has chosen: (a) the book value approach; or (b) the market value approach. (3) The choice is not valid unless notice of the choice is given in the *starting base return relating to the mining project interest or *pre‑mining project interest. (4) The choice may specify that it applies to every mining project interest or *pre‑mining project interest that the *entity has that relates to a specified area. (5) The choice applies, in relation to the mining project interest or *pre‑mining project interest, to the first *MRRT year and all later MRRT years.
