Good morning ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to Yamana Gold second quarter earnings release call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Following the presentation, we will conduct a question-and-answer session. Instructions will be provided at that time. This conference call will contain forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties concerning the business, operations and financial performance and conditions of Yamana Gold. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to statements with respect to estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures, future metal prices and the cost and timing of the development of new deposits. For a complete discussion of the risks, uncertainties and factors, which may lead to our actual financial results and performance being different from the estimates contained in our forward-looking statements, please refer to our press release of yesterday announcing our second quarter results and our management discussion and analysis for the same period, as well as other regulatory filings in Canada and inside the United States. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. I would like to remind everyone that this conference call is being recorded and will be available for replay today at 2:45 PM Eastern time. The replay number is 416-849-0833 or toll-free 1-800-642-1687, both with the passcode 84950126. As well, the presentation slides accompanying the conference call are available on Yamana's website at www.yamana.com. I will now turn the conference over to Mr. Peter Marrone, Chairman and CEO.
