Strong operating performance across the portfolio during the quarter combined with improving prices for most of our commodities saw our net cash position increase to US$517 million. During the period we returned US$90 million to our shareholders via our on-market share buy-back bringing total returns under our capital management program to US$1.5 billion. We set year to date production records at Brazil Alumina and Australia Manganese. We increased our production guidance for South Africa Manganese as we continue to respond to market conditions and at Cannington off the back of continued strong underground performance. Having successfully completed a major furnace refurbishment at Cerro Matoso, we approved further investment in a new project that will lift future nickel production.
