Thank you. Good morning everyone. Welcome to our first quarter 2021 operating and financial results conference call. The first quarter of 2021 has proven to be very challenging, but thanks to the dedication of our team, the support of our contractors the contributions of our First Nation community partners, our healthcare provider Iridia Medical and BC Northern Health operations continued throughout this COVID outbreak and we delivered a solid performance under the circumstances. On today's call, I will briefly touch on some of the key events of the first quarter.
