Kryan Corp. mines and produces aluminum. During 2021, the company explored two new sites and evaluated them for aluminum ore potential. By the December 31, 2021 year-end, both sites remained in the evaluation stage. During 2022, evaluation of site Atlanta was completed and the site was deemed to have sufficient quantities of ore; consequently, development of the site began. However, site Blenty was determined to have ore concentrations too low to be commercially viable. The following is the cost of exploration and evaluation incurred on the two sites:
$$\begin{array} { | l | r | r | } \hline & 2021 & 2022 \\\hline \text { Atlanta } & \$ 3,140,000 & \$ 957,000 \\\hline \text { Blenty } & \underline { 825,000 } & \underline { 1,550,000 } \\\hline & \$ 3,965,000 & \$ 2,507,000 \\\hline\end{array}$$
