This is the information about revenue recognition of Lucas Mining group pty ltd:

• Sales revenue is recognised on individual sales when control transfers to the customer. Generally, control passes, and sales revenue is recognised, when the iron ore is delivered to the ship on which it will be transported. However, there may be circumstances when judgement is required when recognising revenue. In such circumstances, a five-step process is followed: identify the contract with a customer; identify the performance obligations in the contract; determine the transaction price; allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and recognise the revenue when the entity satisfies the performance obligations.
• In a limited amount of sales, the company sells product where the company is responsible for shipping the iron ore to the customer (termed ‘Cost and Freight’). In such circumstances the company has determined that the freight service is a separate performance obligation from the ore sale performance obligation. Therefore, the revenue for shipping services is recognised as the company satisfies this performance obligation over time rather than at the point when the iron ore is transferred to the ship.
• The company has a right to payment at the point that control of iron ore product passes to the customer.
