Third quarter results reflect the four and a half week labour disruption this past November in addition to the challenging international coal market. The company has resumed operating at full production and taking into consideration the seasonal December closure, we are pleased to see the quick ramp up and momentum we have achieved in the weeks since. At a high level, our year to date run of mine tonnes has surpassed the same period in FY2012. Our continued commitment to achieving growth is our priority.
