Good morning, everybody. I call this meeting to order. I'm going to be very brief in my introductions this morning because we had to move up the start time of the meeting from 8:45 to 8:30 because we need to be out of here before 9:45. I appreciate everybody's co-operation in getting started early and I thank all of the witnesses for joining us this morning.
Mr. Pakalnis is from MIRARCO Mining Innovation, and we have two witnesses from the Klondike Placer Miners' Association, who I know made great efforts to get here. We're very grateful for that. Mr. Gibson is from Laurentian University. Each group will have up to 10 minutes to present, and then we're going to open the floor to questions.
With no further ado, we'll start with Mr. Pakalnis.
