Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Centamin Q3 2024 results. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. Later, we will conduct a question and answer session. The phone lines and instructions will follow at that time. I would like to remind all participants this call is being recorded. I want to hand over to Michael Stoner, Head of Corporate, to begin the presentation. Please go ahead. Thank you, Gavin. So before we begin, please could we draw your attention to the disclaimer on slide 2. And as I'm sure you've all noted, on the tenth of September, we announced the recommended firm offer for AngloGold to acquire the entire issued and to be issued capital, share capital of Centamin. As a result, we're under a number of restrictions in terms of what we can discuss today, due to the requirements of the UK Takeover Code. We'll do our best to be helpful during the Q&A. However, please note we are unable to provide any further detail beyond what is disclosed in the 2.7 Announcement and the Scheme Document. So please, where possible, try and keep the Q&A to the operating performance for the quarter. And with that, I'll hand over to Martin. Thank you. Thank you very much, Michael, and as Michael mentioned, welcome to the third quarter Centamin results presentation. Joined today by my colleagues, Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, and as you heard, Michael Stoner, Head of Corporate Development. So, of course, this is a supplementary update. As Michael mentioned, on the tenth of September, we announced the AngloGold Ashanti transaction for Centamin. And at that point, we issued an interim trading update, which announced the first two months of the third quarter. So today's presentation is really rounding out the full results for that quarter, effectively adding September into those already pre-released numbers. Delighted to say that September in terms of... Moving on to the next slide, Richard. In terms of the results from September, they continued very much in the vein that we'd seen previously through the quarter, and rounded out what was a very strong performance by the asset, and Sukari itself, we produced a hundred and thirty-one thousand ounces in the quarter, which was a great result, and actually, because of the timing of sales from Q2, actually had sales of just under a hundred and fifty thousand ounces. In terms of cost control, as you know, we focused as well on the cost discipline, as well as production ounces. And delighted that that momentum was maintained through September and rounded out the quarter very nicely indeed in terms of cash costs at $766 per ounce, and an all-in sustaining cost of just over $1,250 per ounce. And of course, that allowed us to maintain guidance both in terms of production ounces in our range of 470-500, tracking to the midpoint, and of course, the same in terms of our all-in sustaining costs as well. And of course, if you produce the ounces at the right costs, that allows you to take advantage of what have been some very robust and strong gold prices. And when we look at that, that generated $369 million of revenue in the period. And again, with that focus on cost control and ounce production enabled us to generate $103 million of free cash in the quarter. That's a 730% increase year on year, and a nearly 220% increase quarter on quarter. And when that flows through to the bottom line, it puts us in a very healthy position with the balance sheet sitting at just over $240 million in cash and liquids, and of course, that as yet undrawn RCF as well, available to us, leaving us in a very robust and liquid position. As I mentioned there, when we look forward to the balance of the year, gold production continues to move in line with plan. And we see that the momentum we've seen in Q3 will continue into Q4. As I've mentioned, at the half year, we're still tracking towards that midpoint of guidance in terms of ounce, costs. We've noted the cost, the cash cost basis around the stripping adjustments when that flows through. And we look at that, on the all-in sustaining cost, we're maintaining our guidance range of $1,200-$1,350. And in terms of CapEx, CapEx guidance is maintained as well. So an excellent quarter, and some excellent results, as evidenced there as well. Slightly deeper dive into Sukari itself now. Unfortunately, we've had a couple of LTIs during the quarter, which is very unfortunate and something that we're looking at and something obviously, we aim to provide a zero harm, safe environment for all our staff. One of those LTIs was at the Sukari mine, and the second one was at our EDX, Eastern Desert Exploration in Egypt as well, so we're now looking at those incidents, looking to understand the causes, and looking to make sure that we can address those to prevent future issues going forward, and that leaves us with the group LTIFR of 0.65 per million hours worked, and a total recordable injury rate of around 1.96 per million as well, so as I say, operational safety remains a key focus, and proactive measures are being put in place. In terms of Sukari itself, open pit, good performance. A continued, again, that momentum from the first half of the year. Volumes and grades moving nicely as per plan. And I think one of the highlights, of course, was the now completion of the Capital earthmoving, sort of, project, and that has now been completed. And as of today, Capital are demobilizing, their equipment from site as well. So they go with our thanks, and have been one of the key drivers in our ability to reinvest, and reset the Sukari mine as well. So pit moving well. Underground, a continued good momentum with the underground, focusing obviously on that ramp up that we've talked about, moving to 1.1 million tons this year, and seeing our volumes moving, both in terms of stoping, development tons, and of course, focus on grade as well. So, in terms of underground, steady as she goes, and maintaining that, on target for the full year. And in terms of processing. Again, a very good processing performance, a good processing tons, including scheduled maintenance during the period. Benefited from an average feed grade of 1.43 grams per ton. That's an increase of about 14% year on year, and that 3 million tons is about 8% increase on year on year as well. And when we look at the gold recovery, obviously benefiting from those higher feed grades, sitting at just a shade over 89%, which again, is an increase, year on year of about 1%. Moving away from Sukari itself, work continued staying in Egypt at EDX. Obviously, we're looking to drill out the potential of the Little Sukari deposit, some 20-25 kilometers from the mine site, plus generation of other deposits within the Sukari region. Good progress there in terms of both the RC and core program, and we anticipate that work being finalized this quarter, results there being put through towards the end of the year as well. Continued good progress there as we look to try and extend and understand the extents of Little Sukari to work out the ability to bring that into the Sukari mill in due course. Pivoting across to West Africa, clearly, the focus at Doropo remains government engagement around permitting and our mining license application. We continue to engage with the government there and progress that process, and we anticipate and hope that that will be finalized before year-end. And of course, in the interim, as they keeping busy with further engineering works in terms of the FEED and the predevelopment opportunities, while also engaging with local communities as well. Really, a strong quarter to round out the sort of third month within that quarter. Very happy with that momentum, and really set there for the balance of the year at Sukari. Pretty happy with progress of EDX, to say the least, very happy with how that's moving, and of course, a good progress in West Africa as well. So, all in there, Michael, a pretty positive outcome. And with that, maybe we'll hand over to questions, and see if there's any questions from the floor. Participants can submit questions in written format via the webcast page by clicking the Ask a Question button. If you are dialed into the call and would like to ask a question, please signal by pressing star one on your telephone keypad. As a reminder, that is star one if you wish to ask a question on the phone. Currently, there are no questions on the conference line. I'll hand over to Michael Stoner, Head of Corporate, to address written two questions submitted via the webcast. Thank you, Gavin. There's no questions on the webcast, so I'll hand back to Martin for closing comments. Thank you very much, Michael. Clearly everyone absolutely stunned and amazed by an excellent third quarter outcome for Centamin across the group of operations, but maybe leads me just to say thank you to everybody for taking the time to listen today, noting that with the deal transaction, that this is potentially the last quarterly report that we will be presenting as Centamin should things progress as per the published Scheme Documentation, and maybe just leaves me as a final note to say thank you to everybody at Centamin over the last sort of four and a half, five years that I've been involved with the business and obviously others, the people a lot longer. It's been a real privilege and an honor to work with a really good group of people doing some really excellent work, and I think the AngloGold Ashanti proposed transaction really does indicate the quality of that work done by the team of people here at Centamin as well. A group of very good professionals who are good people, and I've enjoyed immensely working with them. So with that, I'd maybe just like to say thank you to all. Follow-up questions available to us through the usual channels, and I wish you all very well, and talk to you again soon. So that's it. Thank you very much.
