Replay transcript excerpt

Thanks, Janelle, and good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining the call this morning to talk about what was a really strong June quarterly activities report that we released this morning.

That marks a 3.9 million tonne per annum run rate and when you think about the sales target for the year that I mentioned a moment ago of 3.4. That run rate in production for the quarter was very strong and sets us up for a good start to this new financial year that's already commenced. ...
