DEPLETION is the process of cost allocation that assigns the original cost of a natural resource to the periods benefited. For example: a mining company purchases mineral rights to a deposit for $5 million for a period of ten years. The cost of the natural resource, $5 million, will be depleted over the ten years of the benefit; i.e., it is the physical exhaustion of a natural resource (e.g., timber, oil and coal).

Depletion is the movement of the cost of natural resources from a company's balance sheet to its income statements. The objective is to match on the income statement the cost of the natural resources that were sold with the revenues of the natural resources that were sold. The cost of the natural resources sold is referred to as depletion expense.

Conceptually, depletion is similar to the depreciation of property, plant and equipment.

Depletion is the decrease in the natural resources owned by the company like oil and gas and it is used instead of depreciation so it is the same nature (expense)
