Thank you, Graeme. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. IAMGOLD reported another strong quarter, building on operational and productivity initiatives put in place earlier in the year.

Based on the exceptional performance of our operating teams, we forecast that 2022 production will exceed the top end of our guidance. Consequently, we increased our production guidance for the year to between 650,000 and 705,000 ounces up from 570,000 to 640,000 ounces as previously guided.
