Hello, and welcome to the Galiano Gold First Quarter Results Call. [Operator Instructions]

I'll now turn the conference over to Matt Badylak, Galiano's CEO.

Matt Badylak
President, CEO & Director

Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone. We appreciate you taking time to join us on this call today to review Galiano Gold's first quarter 2026 results we released yesterday after market close.

We will be making forward-looking statements and referring to non-IFRS measures during the call. Please refer to the cautionary notes and risk disclosures in our most recent MD&A as well as this slide of the webcast presentation. Yesterday's release details our first quarter 2026 financial and operating results. They should be read in conjunction with our first quarter financial statements and MD&A available on our website and filed on SEDAR+ and EDGAR. Also, please bear in mind that all dollar amounts mentioned in the conference call are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

With me on the call today, I have Michael Cardinaels, our Chief Operating Officer; Matt Freeman, our Chief Financial Officer; and Chris Pettman, our Vice President, Exploration. For this presentation, I will initially provide a brief overview of the quarter, Michael will discuss operations, Matt will discuss financials, and then Chris will highlight the exciting growth potential at Esaase and our ongoing exploration success at Abore. I'll then provide some closing remarks and open the call for Q&A.

Turning to Slide 5. Here, we can see the team
