Thank you, Graeme, and good morning, everyone and thank you for joining us. The second quarter for IAMGOLD was an important period for the company, as our operating teams made significant strides at both Essakane and Westwood, to bring our year-to-date attributable production to 220,000 ounces of gold and gas costs 1,234 per ounce, while keeping a safe work environment.
