“It was another strong and safe quarter for IAM Gold. We produced 188,100 ounces of gold in the second quarter, bringing our year-to-date production to 371,700 ounces, positioning IM Gold firmly on track to meet our full-year guidance of $720,000 to $820,000 ounces.”

“Before I start, I'd like to welcome Enkit Shah, who joined IM Gold on Monday as our Chief Strategy Officer. Enkit, who many of you on the call are familiar with, brings to our team nearly 20 years of strategy, corporate development, and capital markets experience at a very exciting time for this company.”

“Last year was a monumental year for IAMGOLD. It is a year in which the company reported record revenues of nearly $3 billion, enjoying a gross margin of over 40% and generating operating cash flow of over $1 billion, with a notable $702 million generated in the fourth quarter alone.”

“This is an exciting time for IAMGOLD with another quarter of production, led by strong performance at Cote Gold and Essakane mines, helping to fuel record cash flow generation for the company.”

“Thank you, Graeme, and good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us to walk you through our quarterly results, highlighting our operations, financial performance, and strategic priorities.”
