I'd like to thank everyone for joining us today. We're very pleased with our continued operational performance and where the company is at today. Our positive Q2 results continue a trend of increased production and cash flow. We are confident that we will continue to see strong operational and financial performance at MDN given the improvements and initiatives recently completed are currently underway across our operations. We are also pleased by the benefits of sustained higher gold prices and our unhedged gold position. Furthermore, strong cash flow from operations continues to strengthen our financial position as we realize the benefits of our cost-cutting initiatives despite significant wage inflation in Argentina. We are also strategically deploying capital for exploration, development to lower-cost production, and to drive our project pipeline to grow production while sustaining a healthy mine life. Encouragingly, our full-year production appears increasingly likely to come in at a higher end of guidance as we continue to see strong month-over-month production. The long-term future potential NMDM has been strengthened by the Falcon acquisition combined with additional success with the 50,000-meter surface and 20,000-meter underground exploration programs which are currently underway. Results from these initiatives will be included in an upcoming updated PEA or preliminary economic assessment and mineral resource update in Q1 2027 where we hope to demonstrate our ability to extend the life of mine while fostering increased production levels. Looking to our other projects, we continue to advance the updated optimized feasibility study at Lagoa Salgada and are driving it in tandem with the process of the permitting process. We hope to be in a position to provide greater detail of our plans over the next few months. At Montsourcier, we have elected to delay the feasibility study until 2027 in order to allow us to complete additional drilling and trade-off studies to further optimize project economics. We are confident that the result will be a robust project, but we have seen inflationary pressure since we completed our PEA. Progress on both projects continues to strengthen our belief that there remains significant value to be unlocked. I'd now like to turn the call over to Jason Brooks to take us through the financial highlights for the second quarter.
