Ladies and gentlemen, we warmly welcome you to the Montega Markets Critical Resources Summit. This roundtable is dedicated to ACG Metals Limited. I'm pleased to welcome CFO, Patrick Henze, who will guide us through the presentation and the insights shortly, after which we will move over to our Q&A session. Please note that this session is being recorded, and a replay will be available on Airtime later on.

And having said this, I'm handing over to you, Patrick.

Chief Financial Officer

Thank you so much, Judith. Hello, everyone, and thank you very much for taking the time to listen to our story today. Given it's a Critical Minerals Summit, I thought we'll spend a bit of time on the copper market itself and a bit of real-life practice examples of why copper is important. And then we'll basically dive a little bit into ACG and our story.

So if we look at the, obviously, very recent news on the Iran war and why that's important, I just wanted to start with this, explaining a bit that, obviously, this is a very, very key example leading to commodities being more and more present in the whole media environment, but it has severe impacts on a lot of different goods. And thankfully, the base metals and precious metals markets are not as impacted and ACG is also not really impacted from that blockade. But as you can see, a lot of the metals and also food and agriculture products that we use in our daily lives are, obviously, heavily impacted from that.
