Fred Earnest
President and Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Pam, and thank you, everyone, for joining us on the call today. We will begin with an overview of our second quarter achievements and then discuss our outlook for the remainder of the year. During the second quarter, we continued to execute our strategy to develop the Mt. Todd Gold project on a standalone basis. We achieved meaningful progress on permitting, added to our Australia-based project leadership team, progressed technical optimization programs, and Advanced Project Execution Planning in line with our plans to commence detailed engineering and design in 2027. With our strong cast position at quarter end, we are well-funded to continue achieving our interim project development activities while systematically reducing development risk. As we build our Australian leadership team and complete the technical and regulatory milestones ahead of us, We are positioning Mount Todd for the start of detailed engineering and design in 2027 and the commencement of an approximate 27-month period encompassing construction and commissioning. I will discuss these topics in greater detail later in the call, but I now turn the time over to Doug Tobler for a review of our financial results for the quarter-ended June 30, 2026. Thanks, Fred.
