Phillips Baker

Thanks, Anvita. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining our call. With this being the first conference call since the September 7 closing the Alexco transaction. I want to start with a few comments on Keno Hill. The week after the closing, I along with Lauren and our Chief Administrative Officer, Mike Clary went to site. We went to Mayo, which is the local town into Whitehorse. This visit was timed around the biweekly shift change which allowed us to meet -- I'd say about 140 of the 170 employees. And the enthusiasm of the workforce was palpable.
