“As I have said previously, we expect continued and significant growth in gold and copper production over the next two years. Third quarter performance was an excellent indication of our potential production and free cash flow generation in the years ahead.”

“Touching on exploration briefly, I'm on Slide 3. The New Afton exploration program centered on K-Zone and nearby targets is currently at an all-time high with one surface drill targeting the K-zone trend along strike and six underground drills actively targeting the core of the zone and testing its footprint.”

“Slide 13 reiterates our three-year outlook. We expect continued and significant growth in gold and copper production over the next three years. With the increasing production, unit cost per ounce of gold are expected to be reduced significantly.”

“We had a lot of success in the third quarter. We also had some difficult moments. I take this opportunity to commend the team, not just for their accomplishments but also for how they respond and support each other.”

“Before discussing the quarter, I would like to take a moment to discuss last week's events when we experienced the fatality at the Rainy River mine. More specifically, we lost a colleague.”
