Thank you, operator. Good morning, and welcome to Hudbay's 2023 first quarter results conference call. Hudbay's financial results were issued yesterday and are available on our website at www.hudbay.com. A corresponding PowerPoint presentation is available in the investors Event section of our website, and we encourage you to refer to it during this call.

Our presenter today is Peter Kukielski, Hudbay's President and Chief Executive Officer. Accompanying Peter for the Q&A portion of the call will be Eugene Lee, our Chief Financial Officer; and André Lauzon, our Chief Operating Officer.

Please note that comments made on today's call may contain forward-looking information and this information, by its nature, is subject to risks and uncertainties, and as such, actual results may differ materially from the views expressed today.

Thank you, Candace. Good morning everyone and thank you for joining us. In today's presentation, I'll discuss our first quarter results, touch on the operating and financial performance of the business, and provide some insight into strategic initiatives and corporate achievements.

As I've said before, I truly believe one of Hudbay's greatest strengths is our disproportionately talented team for a company of our size. To complement this team, we brought in Warren Flannery as Vice President, Business Planning & Reclamation. His experience will be a welcome addition to our organization to enhance our capital planning and operation strategy as well as inflammation and management of non-producing facilities.
