Well, Katerina, thank you. Thank you for joining us today. Starting on slide three. The first half of 2026 marked an important turning point for iotgold. Following the successful recapitalization completed, in the first quarter. With the recapitalization complete, we're focused on executing against the development plan and we're encouraged by the progress we're making as we move into the second half of this year. We have strengthened our balance sheet, advanced our key development projects, delivered encouraging results through the drill bit, and commenced demolition of the Lone Tree autoclave and CIL Processing Plant in advance of construction in the fourth quarter. Transitioning from tool milling to owner processing in 2028 will improve our cash margins by between $1,000 and $1,500 per ounce. The scale of the technical work underway across the portfolio is significant, and we continue to build the technical, operating, and financial depth within our team to advance multiple projects concurrently. Permitting is also progressing on track. And our second quarter achievements continue to de-risk our development plan and keep our phase one projects on track, targeting an increase in annual gold output from approximately 50,000 ounces this year to between 150 and 200,000 ounces in 2028. At the same time, we continue to advance our pipeline of projects, providing a pathway to organic growth to over 600,000 ounces of gold by the early 2030s. With that, I'll turn the call over to Paul for project updates.
