We are pleased with our production results and safety performance for this quarter, and in particular, with the operational performance at Mt. Milligan Mine. After a number of adjustments in April and May, we achieved an average of 48,065 tonnes per day for the month of June with a record daily mill throughput of 63,970 tonnes on June 16. These operational results are significant milestones for us at this stage of the ramp-up. We continue to expect fluctuations in mill throughput until 75 – 80% of design capacity is reached later this year.
