Thanks, Jason. Good morning, everyone. Q2 2026 was our first full quarter under our owner-operator model And it was a quarter of real progress, resource growth, changes to the mining sequencing, discipline execution, and several key corporate milestones. For those new to this story, Hemla Mining is a Canadian gold producer operating the Hemla Gold Camp in Northwestern Ontario. The Hemla Gold Mine has produced roughly 25 million ounces since 1985, making it one of the most prolific gold mines in Canadian history. Our vision is to build the next Canadian gold champion, a nimble owner-driven company that's scaled into an intermediate multi-asset producer through an unrelenting focus on performance and zero harm. Turning to slide four, on an attributable basis, the Hemel Mine produced 25,188 gold ounces and sold 27,858 gold ounces during the quarter. All in sustaining costs were $2,561 an ounce sold. Revenue was 142 million on an average realized price of $4,467 an ounce. Net income was 31 million or 10 cents per share. Adjusted net income was 27 million or 9 cents per share. And we ended the quarter with a cash balance of $130 million. As we highlighted in our production results, plan changes to the mining sequencing temporarily weighed on the grade profile to the mill. Arup will provide additional color on this shortly. But the underlying operations strengthened significantly. Importantly, we executed across our strategic priorities. Zero lost time injuries and three straight years without an LTI. An updated mineral resource assessment that grew the measurement in indicated resources by 34%, adding 1.2 million ounces of gold. We also graduated to the TSX and made our debut on the OTC QX in the U.S. We also signed an impact benefit agreement with and appointed Eva Kochi to our board. Together, This quarter's operational resource and corporate progress reinforces the confidence in the long-term value creation opportunity here. I'll now hand the call over to Eric to walk you through the operational results.
