Thank you, Chris. Good morning, everyone, and I promise to be brief. After nine years of distinguished service, and after positioning the Coosa Graphite project for success, Chris Jones will retire at the end of February. I'm sure each of you joined me in wishing Chris a happy and healthy retirement. As part of a thoughtful and planned succession strategy, beginning last summer, the Board has now elected Chad Potter as the company's new president and CEO. He will continue to be based in Alabama to oversee the completion of the construction activities at the Kooza Graphite Project, in addition to his expanded role as CEO. The Westwater Board also announced that I will become the company's executive chairman. I will work with Mr. Potter to ensure a smooth transition and to help advance our business and financial interests. Chris, back to you.
