Speaker 1: Hello, everybody. My name is Derek Iwanaka, I'm Vice President Speaker 1: of Investor Relations and Corporate Development for B Metals. Speaker 1: And today I feel like I'm a bit of a professor here. I get to talk to the Lassonde curve that Speaker 1: I grew up with when I started in mining. Speaker 1: That's actually how I was Speaker 1: educated or introduced to the mining world, Speaker 1: they kind of told me that, you know, this is where we start Speaker 1: on the far left hand side where you have very early stage concept, exploration themes or ideas. Speaker 1: And then you eventually get to a point where you're Speaker 1: at the Speaker 1: drill steady or drill ready stage and then you actually start drilling. Speaker 1: And I would say that's about where we are right now with our main project, which is called Kazan. Speaker 1: Kazan, Speaker 1: I would say, fits on the curve right around here.
