I will now turn the call over to Christian Milau, our CEO.

Thanks, Rulin, and welcome, everyone, to our Q3 results. It's been another active quarter for us, and I just wanted to quickly summarize where we're at right now. We've got the seven producing mines here in the Americas, and it's soon to be eight with Santa Luz in quarter one. when it hits production. Also, we've now got the five growth projects. They're nicely distributed amongst our regions, and we'll go through those a little bit later in the presentation. We're working really hard in the fourth quarter here to hit our target of around 600,000 ounces of gold for the year, so it'll be a big quarter in quarter number four. We've got our balance sheet in good shape right now with available liquidity of about $500 million and some investments on the balance sheet. We're funded to achieve our long-term growth objective of about a million ounces a year, so we're working hard on executing on that growth strategy as we've articulated in the past. When I turn the slide to number four, the recent highlights, I just do want to mention these. There's been a lot happening corporately. Santa Luz construction is progressing well at the moment. We're on schedule, on budget. Greenstone construction is starting to ramp up now. We've had a good summer of work, and we'll highlight a bit of that later on in the presentation. Arizona expansion has been demonstrated through the pre-feasibility study, and we've almost doubled the mine life through that. Also, there's more to come there. We think the exploration potential is fantastic as we move forward and we'll keep drilling. We're also completing a drill program in Bahia, and those drill results will come out when we've got all the results in. And corporately, we continue to focus on the ESG front, and you'll see our data on our website is being updated and enhanced on almost a quarterly basis now. And one thing that we're really pleased, we've been able to complete the new water treatment plant at the Arizona Village. So that is basically done here in November, and we're able to provide an enhanced water system for the local community. And as I've said, there's a strong start to Q4. We mentioned that we produced over 65,000 ounces in October and on track for guidance. And we'll be pushing hard towards that 600,000 ounce mark for the full year. Peter, I'll hand it over to you for the quarterly results.
