13. GEOGRAPHIC AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

In addition to its corporate operations, the Company currently operates a graphite battery-materials reportable segment. During 2020, the Company made the strategic decision to sell its uranium business and discontinue its lithium business, both of which conducted exploration, standby operations and restoration and reclamation activities. As a result, the Company re-classed all uranium and lithium business activities as discontinued operations.

The reportable segments are those operations whose operating results are reviewed by the Chief  Executive Officer to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance provided those operations pass certain quantitative thresholds. Operations whose revenues, earnings or losses or assets exceed or are expected to exceed 10% of the total consolidated revenue, earnings or losses or assets are reportable segments. Information about current assets and liabilities of the segments has not been provided because the information is not used to assess performance.

The tables below provide a breakdown of the long-term assets by reportable segments as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:
