I am also extremely pleased with what are robust economic results as reflected in the recently published Preliminary Economic Assessment, which is advanced in nature and builds upon previous study work inclusive of a prior pre-feasibility progress report. Recent advances by Joanne and team in Metallurgy, Process, Social License and Environmental will prove the cornerstone as we further enhance the value proposition for all stakeholders.
