“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.”

“Production and mine sequencing were impacted by heavy rainfall resulting in the flooding of the pit. While significant progress has been made to date to restore the situation and optimize each step moving forward, we have to replan our last 6 months, and Pat will provide more detail on that.”

“So before I pass it to Rob to discuss our quarterly financial results, I just wanted to take a moment to discuss some of the changes we've made at our company, and the challenges we've experienced, like many of our peers during the quarter.”

“Thanks everyone for joining us today for the 2021 review and 2022 outlook, and reserve and resources update. 2021 brought us part of challenges, but I'm extremely proud of our resilient team and the way we ended the year.”

“So first, let me start by saying that I recently had the chance to spend quality time at our sites, and I continue to be amazed by the tremendous level of hard work and commitment from our employees and contractors as we continue to build our Company on solid foundations and core values.”
