Thank you, Amanda, and welcome, everyone. 2024 was a transformative year for Handy and Precious Metals. It marked our first full year with Golden Queen in our operating portfolio, and despite operating at close to the lower end of our production range, we achieved record revenues of $254 million and a record adjusted EBITDA of $62.9 million. Despite our capital expenditures in 2024 of $32 million, the company generated record free cash flow of $35 million. We delivered consolidated production of 106,287 gold equivalent ounces, which was just below the lower end of our gold and silver guidance, mainly due to a temporary suspension of the crushing and stacking activities at Gold and Queen, and lower production than expected from our tailings recovery program at San Bartolome. We'll discuss the production in greater details later in this call. as well as our 2025 guidance. A key milestone was our successful uplisting to the Toronto Stock Exchange. This achievement marks an important step in elevating NDN's profile within the investment community, enhancing our access to capital markets, and strengthening our position among leading mining companies. I'd like also to welcome our new president, Johann Bouchard, to our executive team, Johan brings with him a significant operational and strategic experience, reinforcing our commitments towards improving our technical and operational excellence. Lastly, during the fourth quarter of 2024, no lost time injuries have been reported at Golden Queen or San Bartolome. As of the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, San Bartolome reached 118 days without lost time injuries. And Golden Queen reached 561 days without lost time injuries. We look forward to sharing further details on these results and answering your questions. With that, I will hand this over to Juan Carlos, who will walk you through our financials in greater detail.
