Thanks, David. We appreciate you all for joining us today. We've been looking forward to speaking with you about our strong third quarter results and our positive outlook for the future. We are pleased and proud of our team with the steady progress throughout the year achieved on the Grassburg ramp up and with our initiatives across our business to drive value. As we look forward, the table is set for growing our volumes in the near term, medium term and longer term, supported by a portfolio of long-lived assets and by a qualified and experienced team. Leaders in Indonesia have expressed support for the extension of our operating rights beyond 2041. We continue to work with the Ministry of Energy and Mines on documentation to implement the memorandum of understanding we signed with the government of Indonesia. Freeport's growth plans match up exceptionally well with accelerating requirements for copper. Electrification continues to advance at a rapid pace, bigger and faster than we've seen in the past, and copper is the metal of electrification. The world requires a lot more copper and supplies are challenged. Freeport is particularly well positioned to grow with the market. After working in this industry for decades, today's opportunity, where structural trends point to a multi-year period of significant demand growth, is unique. We at Freeport have the right assets at the right time. With a strong team in the Freeport family and our strong financial positions, we are well positioned to capture this opportunity for the benefit of our shareholders and all our stakeholders. Kathleen?
