Hello everyone and thank you for joining us today for this live event. We're joined by Noah Kamovly, President of Ashley Gold, Jeff Ackert, President and CEO at Cascade Copper, Nick Michael, President and CEO at Golden Access Mining Corp. Brian Boss, CEO at Coupani Metals. These gentlemen represent 4 junior explorers across Canada. The format today is designed to get you interested in a company you may not have heard of before and hopefully spark enough interest that you'll want to learn more. If you do, once we wrap up, there will be a meet and request pop up. Just select the company or companies you'd like to meet with and I'll pass that information along to the respective teams.

It's infrastructure rich, so it's got highways, power, rail, and a skilled workforce. So it's got all the right ingredients to support future mining activities. And then it doesn't have the same heavily or densely drilled land as some of the other greenstone belts in Ontario. We're excited to be working in that area of Canada. Great. I'll just go in order on my screen here. Over to you, Nick. Thank you, Carl. In my...
