We are, we've grown in the last three years from one mine to three operating mines and we've, we've acquired a business in the last 18 months, which added three more assets into the portfolio. Each one of these mines has got a a significant potential to extend in life. And, and we, we've got this platform now we believe which we can see a clear path to get to a, a 40 to 50,000 ton copper producing company in the next 3 to 5 years. As you can see on that slide, Currently, we're doing close to 30,000 tons of copper between the operations around 55,000 ounces of gold and then silver on top of it from the current operations, just a very quick snapshot. We've got a fairly small board. You can see the share price basically the last three months or four months track the copper price. A lot of the value which shareholders and investors are seeing is actually in the copper asset in the Tritton copper mine. And we'll talk a bit more about Triton and the other assets. Karen Maia brought 100 and $60 million that has significantly reduced over the last 18 months on the back of putting our Jaguar mine into care and maintenance, which also required us to put a debt facility of $40 million into the business. When you look at the portfolio and I think the key takeaway on the slide is really in the resource across all the, all the the projects. There's 820,000 tons of copper metal, a million tons of zinc and 1.4 million ounces of gold between the assets, if you have to look at those and you say, well, which are the key long term assets. Tritton is our key operating asset on the project site. Stockman. It will be a 25,000 plus copper producing company or business and it's already got more than a 12 year reserve life on on that asset that feasibility study is underway and we'll talk a little bit more about that. And then the restart of of the Jaguar mine will see a plus five year mine life once we started up and the other two operations, Krakow and North Queensland are small but it is good cash generating assets at this point in time, looking a little bit more in detail at the operations. So Briton in New South Wales, we got a very large 2300 square kilometers of exploration ground. Currently, we will typically mine 2 to 3 mines at any time feeding 1.8 million ton processing facility which is sitting at the Triton mine, oops Roman going back. Yeah, we we see a clear path to take Triton from currently around 22 to 25,000 tons of copper to a 30,000 ton producer over the next 2 to 3 years by bringing in the deposit which you can see on that slide on the on the top called constellation. Now the start of constellation will get to up the curve to that 30,000 tons and that is currently on a timeline to be in production within the next two years. When you look at the exploration ground to the north of the of that road where you can see consolation where there's no real all bodies other than consolation, we haven't spent a lot of money and time on exploration to the north in the last two years. We've put a lot more focus into that northern northern part of the tenement package and that's how we discovered. Consolation. Typically these assets when you find one or the deposits, when you find one, you find more. So a lot more focus has been put into that northern part of the tenement package. What we also focusing on this year is to upgrade the resolve resource in each one of these deposits. Each one of them Avoca tank is a mine. We started in the last 12 months and it was specifically focused to change the mine design to higher grade copper. So we would have typically mined 1.3% copper at the tu and underground mine voca tank. Now in production has got a reserve grade of 2.53% copper. So we see good grades coming in. So we're not actually putting 1.8 million tons through the plant, but we see the production uplift through grade or starting a Avoca tank and budget guy in the last last 18 months. So as I said earlier, we we got a clear path to get this, this mine up to 30,000 tons currently in production are those four mines this year in this financial year. In a few months time, we'll start the Morawa pit and that will give us a breach to get to the constellation open pit and underground mine which will bring in those 2% grades which is already se 7 million tons. So by the time we get consolation into production, you'll see the production curve stepping up to that 30,000 tons. And then on the exploration side, those two all bodies Kong and Bie are both needs more drilling, but they will also be future mining projects for the Tritton business. So this is just this mbi pit. We're gonna do a cut back. What we're also doing as part of progressive rehabilitation is the waste from this pit will cover old hep bleach pads, which is sitting there and will save us about $8 million just on rehabilitation costs by closing those heat bleach pads with the waste from the Marram pit. So it's a, it's a fairly small pit. It's will be mined out within 18 months, but it will deliver 1.3 million tons at about 1.3% copper to the plant. So in the next 12 months or 18 months, the plant will go back up to that 1.8 because you'll get open pit plus the underground or what is going through the mine in the next two years. But the key for the future is is this deposit. So consolation was discovered about 2.5 years ago. We, we did a survey first hole intersected high grade copper 8 m below surface. Right now, we're doing some more drilling to get the resource category up to indicated resource and to ensure that we can bring a feasibility study out on that in quarter three fy 25. So the key focus is, is, is how do we speed the development up and the approval process up for starting this mine which as I said earlier will give to that step up in production. This is a photo of our Krakow mine in Queensland. Very different, nice green, very neat tidy plant doing about 5 to 600,000 tons of gold. What we have we bought this about four years ago. Now from evolution, the key production is coming out of this Western Wayne field and this is one of those gold mines which never have more than a two year reserve life, but has had that for the last 15 or 20 years. So the key focus for us is exploration in the western vane field. We have now started to step out in exploration to, to Golden plateau which you can see on the right hand side to, to draw that out. But also a lot more work is now being done to see what's happening on the western side of that Western Vane field in terms of production and and and future exploration opportunities. So as you can see on that slide, it's a bit busy, but you can see the Western vane field where basically all the production has come from over the last three or four years since we owned this asset. But new geology that western frontier is now the new target and we believe there is potential repeat of this western wine field in that western frontier. So the the main aim for us is how do we step out and create life for for Krakow and, and, and while we keep mining the western way field with, there's also some new targets identify Apollo and Coronation West, which we're busy dwelling right now, which is also it's closer to the current mines. But it's also structures which are very interesting as we move this business as we, we try to extend the reserve or the resource for Krakow. Then the southern rain field is where we see the potential game, sort of where there's a much bigger opportunity. You can see the western V field up. The top already produced 2.5 million ounces. Golden plateau, a million ounces and nothing to the south. And the reason being it's fairly deep undercover, but it hasn't been tested at all. So part of the plan or working we're doing is to do some survey, do some target assessments and then probably put a few holes into that Southern Way field over the next 12 months or 18 months. So the the real potential upside is there is a, there is a repeat of that Western way field. But as you can see through what I just gone through is we've relied on the Western wine field over the last four years and very successfully mined 45 odd 1000 ounces. Now, we can see that continuing. But the real upside is have a look what's outside the current known structures that Western frontier and the southern wind field for Krakow is quite important and, and believe that that can perhaps give it significant more life. The North Queensland that what you see on that photo is the full infrastructure. We don't have a process plant, we actually mine underground truck it to the S Ry mine which is owned by Evolution and they process the tons for us. It's a underground copper mine. It only got about another three months left. So as you can see there, the green is why we're extracting ourselves. Mining will seize in the next two months and then processing will continue to the first quarter, calendar 25. It's been a very successful little mine generates a lot of cash. We bought it two years ago as part of the acquisition we made. And over that time, we had no capital spend, it was all extraction and has, has generated good cash. As we follow this, this this business, what works in that North Queensland region? There's a few big plants which has got capacity and the way we've run this is basically use that capacity instead of trying to invest your for your own own process plants. And that this model in that area will be very successful because there's a lot of these smaller size ore bodies. It doesn't justify the capital cost for processing facility, but it does work for and it's got enough margin to give you good returns if you can process it through a through an arrangement, getting to development projects, basically what we're trying to do now, the Barbara mine is also up in North Queensland. The aim there is to do exactly what we did at Mount Colin. Move across to Barbara, go underground currently, there's 2.2 million tons of 2% copper with gold. Previously, as an open pit mine, it was treated at the Mount is a facility it can be processed at either Ernest Henry or at Mount Isa. So the aim for us is when the we finish off Mount Colin, go straight into Barbara if we've got the approvals in place. Now we're waiting for the final on the approvals. If it's a minor amendment, we can get in there in the next three months. If it's a major amendment that will take more time. We're quite confident that this should be a minor amendment because it was an old historic mine. It's already got a mining lease on and it's already got infrastructure there for future mining. Now, the Jaguar mine is a mine we bought as part of the last acquisition. We ran it for 12 months and we then put it in care and maintenance on the back of the zinc price, which has dropped by 30% since the acquisition, but also the capital cost and the lower production to get to the next all body. put us in a position where we had to make the tough decisions, put in care and maintenance, but I believe it was an absolute right decision. So currently it's got an 8 million ton resource on it. There's an ore body below the current Bentley mine, which is called Turbo, which is high grade copper zinc. And we're doing the feasibility study for a restart. One of the big opportunities with this is, it's a very, it's between very large gold miners. We've got very good gold exploration on the tenement as well. We're actually testing Heather board. Currently, we drilled two holes, we're waiting for the results to come back. But that can also give you an opportunity within your, your, your, your tenement package. But right, and then there's also of course the basement on exploration. So the key for us in the next few months will come out with a study on a restart and that will then start the focus on J to get that back in production. Now, we see you can, the current look is it will give you more than five years life. It will do about 10,000 tons of copper and 20,000 tons of zinc annually. And, and we believe in that model, this will be a a restart which can work and not a high capital intensive restart. When you look at Stockman, this is a project we've got in Victoria. As I said earlier, it's already got a 12 year reserve life on that. The study will call for 850,000 ton process plant doing about 25 to 30,000 tons of copper equivalent between copper and zinc. It's got gold and silver as, as by-product as well. We're trying to keep it very simple, a small process plant at the deposits. But when we bought the the asset the study which we inherited with the acquisition at about a 75% recovery for copper and zinc. And that was just not good enough. So when we started to look at what technology and options are available to get better recoveries, the albion process was one of the key opportunities. And the latest test work we've done on albion will push those recoveries back up to over 90% and that's where you, where you need to be. So the feasibility study we're updating now will have a a conventional flotation circuit using Jon cells and then an albion process which will give us those additional recoveries. Now, studies are a way to get the final capital and operating costs for this model. but it looks very promising if you can get your recoveries up by from 75 to 95%. The just as a close as I said earlier, the diverse white production in this, this time, you everyone is interested in in copper but having a gold asset pays the bills, it it generates good cash at these, especially at these gold prices. And as you've seen each one of these assets got significant growth opportunities within the current mining areas, but also external in exploration. And we can see each one of these mines, it is all of them currently in Australia. So it's in an area which we've mined before we know it. We know and control. It's a tier one mining jurisdiction and leverage the copper for us in the future. There will be a lot more focus to increase the copper production in this business purely from where we all expect copper to go to in the future. Thank you very much. And with that, we'll open it up to questions. I have one regarding the Stockman Project, I know that you're awaiting the capital outlet from their FS. However, what are the financing plans for that going forward? So the Stockman project would be a 4 to $500 million development project. Currently, the financing plans for that is we obviously try to finance some of it ourselves because it's got a 12 year reserve life. It can, it can take debt, but we also will bring in partners on the asset level investment to help, to fund the project. So we know we at this stage, we don't intend to fund it ourselves 100%. We will bring other parties to, to help fund it. Excellent. And I wanted to also touch on the community relations around that area and with, I know that it's a fairly typically pro mining area, but just wanted to touch on how that's going, how the infrastructure around there looks as well. Look the, where the stock project is located in Aus in Australia. It's in the Omeo. it's close to the, the, the town of Omeo and Benamar. The communities they are currently into logging that is closing down over the next two or three years. So there's a lot of push to get new employment into the region. A lot of support from locals and and has been, this project has been out there for a while. So there is this expectation, when is it coming? And and, and so the support we are getting is very strong and there's already a mining lease on this asset. It's really finishing off this study with the, with the updated technology. But from where we sit, there's a lot of drive from local and, and, and federal government and state government to get these projects on, on up and running because in Victoria, there hasn't been a lot of new project developments over the last it's been 20 years. So there is a large focus. They want to drive strategic minerals and, and this is the furthest advanced project in Victoria for that start up. Excellent. Thank you very much, Andre. And if you have any other questions, please follow up with them outside, We're going to move on to our next
