Ivanhoe Mines Ltd.

Good day and welcome to the Ivanhoe Mines Q4 2021 Financial Results Conference Call. Today's conference is being recorded. At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to the Vice President, Investor Relations, Mr. Bill Treneman. Please go ahead, sir. The floor is yours.

Thank you, Operator, and hello, everyone. It is my pleasure to welcome you to Ivanhoe Mines Q4 year-end 2021 Financial Results Conference Call. Please note that we will finish today's event with a question and answer session. You can submit a question using the Q&A area on the webcast page, as well as through the conference operator via your phone line. Given our time constraints, it is unlikely that we will be able to answer every question today. Our apologies if we run low on time, but our IR team will endeavor to collect all questions for follow-up. Before we begin, I'd like to remind everyone that today's event will contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Details of the forward-looking statements is contained in our news release issued earlier today. It is now my pleasure to present the first segment of today's call, a brief introductory message from our co-chairman, and founder, Mr. Robert Friedland. Robert, over to you, please.

Thank you very much to all of you that are participating today on International Women's Day on our quarterly and year-end financials. I have to take pains to note that it's rather bittersweet that women rarely start wars but are suffering from one tonight. Of course, the The conflict that's going on in Ukraine is causing a lot of human rights violations and massive volatility in the markets. So it's difficult to set that aside in one's minds when we talk to you about our 25- or 30-year journey to get to these excellent results as we are continuing to build the largest, highest-grade, most rapidly growing copper mine in our industry, as well as other significant projects in platinum, palladium, nickel, and zinc. I'd like to keep my opening remarks very short and go directly into the highlights and then see if there's anything I can contribute when we get to the question and answers. So with that, I'd like to turn this over to Marna Flote, our president.
