Thanks, Jen. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Aveeno's third quarter 2025 financial results conference call and webcast. We will cover the highlights of our financial and operating performance, and then we will go over the work that we are currently doing, followed by a Q&A. I will start with a discussion on operations and overall performance, And then I will turn it over to Nathan Hart, Avino CFO, to discuss the financial performance for the period. And then Jennifer North, our head of investor relations, will present an overview of the Q3 CSR slash ESG initiatives. Please turn to slide five. Our strategic vision for transformational growth remains focused on transitioning from a single production operation to a multi-asset Mexican mid-tier producer. We've had eventful third quarter and our performance was guided by five key drivers. Number one, operational excellence. Number two, portfolio optimization. Number three, a disciplined approach to financial management and capital allocation. Number four, strategic exploration and drilling to unlock further resource potential. Number five, continued growth and strengthened market recognition. The first driver is operational excellence. Our team at site advanced automation and process upgrades, which has been reflected in our strong mill performance and sustained throughput. In addition, the progress at La Preciosa has been exceptional. Operations management have expanded the workforce with ongoing equipment training to support operational efficiency. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we had started processing La Preciosa material through circuit number one, which is well ahead of expectations. Portfolio optimization, our second key driver, is reflected in the August announcement where we reported the acquisition of the outstanding royalties and contingent payments on La Preciosa. Acquiring these consolidates ownership, improving project economics, and enhancing operational flexibility at La Preciosa. By removing third-party obligations, this reduces financial and operational complexity, strengthening Aveeno's overall asset portfolio. We believe that this enhances shareholder value by optimizing our portfolio and positioning Aveeno for sustained growth. Our third driver focuses on our disciplined approach to financial management and capital allocation. Avino achieved another quarter of strong financial performance, which is reflective of improved meal availability and consistent operational discipline demonstrated by our team. With record cash of $57 million and working capital of $51 million, our balance sheet continues to build strength. Nathan will provide a detailed overview of the financials later in the call. Fourth, we remain committed to strategic exploration and drilling to unlock additional resource potential. In August, we reported results of four drill holes from La Preciosa, which were drilled to twin previous drilling. The assay results from the intercepts of La Gloria and Abundancia were very positive. Highlights include from hole 2503, 1,638 grams of silver and 1.92 grams of gold over 7.9 meters of true width. Included in that is 15,352 grams of silver and 1.55 grams of gold over 0.37 meters of true width. The intercept grades... are significantly higher than the average grades outlined in our current resource, highlighting the potential we aim to capture by using underground mining methods. In addition, the larger widths encountered at both La Gloria and Abundancia were a welcome surprise, underscoring that there is still much to learn about the deposit despite the 1,500 drill holes and substantial exploration investment performed by previous operators. We just released a further four holes on October 27, which have also returned excellent grades. The full results for both news releases are on our website under the News Release tab. Our final driver for the quarter reflects continued growth and strengthened market recognition. Vino was proud to be included in the Toronto Stock Exchange 2025 TSX 30. distinguishing itself by ranking fifth among top-performing companies. For the three years ended June 30, 2025, Aveeno's share price performance increased 610% and market capitalization increased 778%. In addition to this, Aveeno was added to the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners Index and VanEck's Junior Gold Miners ETF, GDXJ, effective market close on September 19, 2025. These achievements underscore the decisive steps we've taken to advance Aveeno's transformational growth strategy and reinforce the investment case for Aveeno. Moving to slide six, we turn to Aveeno's Q2 2025 production results. which were released in mid-October, reflecting steady operational performance. Overall results continued to support the company's original production estimate of 2.5 to 2.8 million silver-equivalent ounces. On slide 7, we put together various photos of recent development activity at La Preciosa. We are very pleased with the progress we are making. At this time, I will now hand it over to Nathan Hart, Avino's CFO, to present a record financial performance for Q3 2025. Nathan?
