My name is Thomas Nador, I'm the Chief Executive Officer of Buru Energy, and I'm joined here today by David Maxwell, the current non-executive Chair of the company.

We've had various exploration successes and in particular, today, I will be focusing on the most recent exploration success in Rafael.
