Thank you, Amanda, and good morning, everyone. I am pleased to report that Andean delivered another strong quarter operationally and financially. We delivered record quarterly revenues of 73.7 million, supported by stronger realized metal prices and steady performance at both of our operations. Adjusted EBITDA rose to 28.9 million, the highest in the company's history, while net income essentially doubled year over year to $17.4 million, or 12 cents per share. Our balance sheet strengthened significantly during the quarter. Leveraging on our strong cash position, we made the strategic decision to fully repay all outstanding amounts under our revolving credit facility. reducing total debt and ending the quarter with $87.3 million in liquid assets. The $25 million revolving line of credit remains fully available, giving us significant additional financial flexibility. Operationally, San Bartolome delivered solid results with improved margins. On the back of strong silver prices, continued favorable foreign exchange rates, and steady plant recoveries. We have revised our 2025 margin metrics upward for cash growth operating margin and gross margin ratio. San Bartolome remains on track to meet full-year guidance. Golden Queen also remains on track to meet full-year guidance with production expected to ramp up in the second half. supported by key capital projects completed during the quarter. We continue to advance our organic growth strategy. Exploration drilling at Golden Wing, still ongoing, following the encouraging resource release in May, and we see strong potential to extend mine life to near mine and regional targets. We expect to provide an update on results to the market in Q4. It was a strong first half of the year, and we believe the momentum we have built sets up well for the remainder of the year 2025. With that, I will now turn it over to Johan to walk you through the operational results in more detail.
