SEGMENT INFORMATION
28. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operated in two reportable segments within the USA during the year ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, oil extraction and processing operations and mining operations.


Once the expansion of the plant has reached a stage of completion where it is viable to commence production and the requisite licenses have been obtained, the Company’s oil extraction segment will be able to commence commercial production and will generate revenue from the sale of hydrocarbon products to third parties.


The presentation of the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss provides information about the oil extraction and processing segment. There were limited operations in the mining operations segment during the year ended August 31, 2020 and 2019. Other information about reportable segments are:
