My name is Derek Iwanaka, I'm Vice President [00:12] Speaker 1: of Investor Relations and Corporate Development for B Metals. [00:17] Speaker 1: And today I feel like I'm a bit of a professor here. I get to talk to the Lassonde curve that [00:23] Speaker 1: I grew up with when I started in mining. [00:27] Speaker 1: That's actually how I was [00:30] Speaker 1: educated or introduced to the mining world, [00:32] Speaker 1: they kind of told me that, you know, this is where we start [00:36] Speaker 1: on the far left hand side where you have very early stage concept, exploration themes or ideas.
