Thank you. Chris Lichtenheldt, Vice President Investor Relations, you may begin your conference.

Paul Rollinson

Thanks, Chris and thank you all for joining us. Today, I'm going to update you on our third quarter performance, our expectations going forward, and Great [indiscernible]. First, I would like to introduce our operational leaders. Claude Schimper is our new Chief Operating Officer. For those of you who don't know Claude, he has been with Kinross for 12 years and prior to taking on the COO role, he very successfully led our Russian business and then took on added oversight of our African Operations.

Ned Jalil is our new Senior Vice President of Technical Services. Ned first joined Kinross 10 years ago and has added significant value in several areas, including previously leading our successful optimization of Paracatu in Brazil.

Both Claude and Ned are Mining Engineers with deep technical experience globally and a boots on the ground management style. As you will hear shortly, our new operational leadership is off to an excellent start as we see significant improvements in key metrics across our portfolio.
