Thank you, Michelle, and good morning, good evening. Hello, everyone. I'd like to begin by acknowledging the traditional owners on the lands of which our businesses operate, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation in Perth, where we are undertaking our call today, and Nyamal and Kariyarra people where our operations are located in the Pilbara. We pay our respects to their elders past and present.

Now, as many will be aware, the Pilbara region was hit with tropical cyclone Zelia last week. This large Cat 5 system presented a very strong threat to all in its way. Now I'm pleased to report for PLS, there were no injuries or major damage from the cyclone, which came very close to our operation at Pilgangoora. Production was disrupted for about six days with both readiness ramp up and ramp down within that period.

I'd like to thank the local authorities for the professional management of the event and the many resource companies that pulled together to navigate this challenge, in particular, a thank you to Simon Trott and the Rio team for lending us a hand. Lastly, thank you to the PLS team for all of their preparation, readiness and teamwork....
