Thank you, Ankit, and good morning, everyone. Before we proceed with our third quarter update, I do have some sad news to share. I'm deeply saddened to announce that Suresh Kalathil, our General Manager at Rainy River passed away in his home in Emo, Ontario late last week. Suresh has been with us for the past two years and made tremendous contributions during his time at the company. We extend our deepest condolences to Suresh's family, loved ones, and colleagues during this difficult time. Our strong and committed team that Suresh worked to build and develop in his two years with us will continue to execute on his vision for Rainy River. With mine manager Gord Simms stepping up as Interim General Manager and with the continued support across the whole New Gold organization. Thank you, Suresh.
