At this time, I'd like to turn the conference call over to Amanda Mallough, Director of Investor Relations. Please go ahead. Thank you, Operator, and good morning, everyone. Before we get started, I would like to point out that during today's call, we may make forward-looking statements as defined under the Canadian Securities Law. I ask that you view our slide presentation for cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements and the risk factors pertaining to these statements. Our press release, MD&A, and financial statements are available on both SEDAR+ and on our corporate website, AndeanPM.com. With us presenting on today's webcast is Alberto Morales, Andean's Executive Chairman and CEO; and Juan Carlos Sandoval, our CFO. In the room with me, I have our new President, Yohann Bouchard; Dom Kizek, our Vice President of Finance and Corporate Controller; and Alex Pascual, our Director of FP&A, who will be available during the Q&A period. Following Management's formal remarks, we will open the call to questions, and with that, I'll turn it over to Alberto. Thank you, Amanda, and welcome, everyone. 2024 was a transformative year for Andean Precious Metals. It marked our first full year with Golden Queen in our operating portfolio, and despite operating at close to the lower end of our production range, we achieved record revenues of $254 million and a record adjusted EBITDA of $62.9 million. Despite our capital expenditures in 2024 of $32 million, the company generated record free cash flow of $35 million. We delivered consolidated production of 106,287 gold equivalent ounces, which was just below the lower end of our gold and silver guidance, mainly due to a temporary suspension of the crushing and stacking activities at Golden Queen and lower production than expected from our tailings recovery program at San Bartolomé. We will discuss the production in greater detail later in this call, as well as our 2025 guidance. A key milestone was our successful uplisting to the Toronto Stock Exchange. This achievement marks an important step in elevating Andean's profile within the investment community, enhancing our access to capital markets, and strengthening our position among leading mining companies. I'd like also to welcome our new President, Yohann Bouchard, to our executive team. Yohann brings with him significant operational and strategic experience, reinforcing our commitments towards improving our technical and operational excellence. Lastly, during the fourth quarter of 2024, no lost time injuries have been reported at Golden Queen or San Bartolomé. As of the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, San Bartolomé reached 118 days without lost time injuries, and Golden Queen reached 561 days without lost time injuries. We look forward to sharing further details on these results and answering your questions. With that, I will hand this over to Juan Carlos, who will walk you through our financials in greater detail. Thank you, Alberto. Good morning, everyone. As we turn to our financial performance this year, I'd like to emphasize the strength of our financial position and continued focus on value generation and growth. On a consolidated basis, Andean had record revenues of $254 million, with gross operating income of $68.6 million and net income of $19.2 million, and $0.12 per share, an adjusted EBITDA of $62.9 million, and $0.41 per share on a diluted basis. 2024 was a strong year for cash flow generation, which can be seen with our strong balance sheet, which reported $62.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, and liquid assets of $81.6 million as of December 2024. We had a very strong period of free cash flow generation despite significant CapEx, particularly at Golden Queen. We had $31.6 million in capital expenditures in 2024, which included $4.7 million at San Bartolomé and $27 million at Golden Queen. The majority of our CapEx was incurred at Golden Queen, particularly on the upgrade of our mobile fleet. We believe these upgrades will provide for operational efficiencies in 2025 and thereafter. Moving on to our operating financial performance, Q4 2024 silver equivalent production of 1.4 million ounces, an increase over the prior year due to higher ore tons milled, improved average head grade, and higher silver recovery rates. Full year 2024 silver equivalent production of 4.5 million ounces, a small decrease from 2023, primarily due to lower ore tons milled, partly offset by the improved grade and recovery rates. Revenue increased in Q4 and for the full year to $42.2 million and $126.9 million, respectively, primarily driven by the high average realized silver prices and higher recoveries, partly offset by lower sales volume. Overall, Bolivian operational expenses have decreased on a quarter and year-over-year basis due to the strengthening of our US dollar relative to the Bolivian Boliviano. We continue to see favorable conditions in the Bolivian Boliviano relative to the US dollar and expect these conditions to continue in 2025. Mining and ore purchase expenditures increased in Q4 and for the full year, reflecting the transition to exclusive ore purchasing and processing activities, which traditionally have lower margins as compared to typical mining activities. Milling, processing, and indirect costs declined, benefiting from favorable foreign exchange conditions. Cash Gross Operating Margin and gross margin ratio both increased in Q4 and for the full year to 11.09 and 43.26%, and 9.15 and 38.41%, respectively, supported by higher realized silver prices and lower cost of sales per silver equivalent ounce. Capital expenditures decreased in Q4 and for the full year, primarily due to the commissioning of the fine deposit facility in Q2 2024, reducing capital outlays for the remainder of the year. Moving on to Golden Queen. Q4 2024 gold equivalent production: 11,774 gold equivalent ounces, a decrease from Q3 2024 due to a temporary suspension of operations of the crushing and stacking activities in September 2024, which impacted gold production into Q4. Revenue decreased in Q4 2024 compared to Q3 2024, primarily due to lower gold equivalent production, partly offset by higher average realized gold prices. Mining and processing costs decreased in Q4 2024 due to lower consumables tied to reduced production. Operating cash cost and all-in sustaining costs both declined in Q4 2024 compared to Q3 2024, primarily due to lower cost of sales and lower sustaining capital, partly offset by lower gold and silver production. Capital expenditures declined in Q4 2024 as most of the company's 2024 capital expenditure program was incurred in the first nine months of the year, particularly in Q3. Capital expenditure program included the replacement of most of the company's haul truck fleet and the overhaul of existing mobile and fixed equipment. Moving on to our 2025 guidance, consolidated production. We anticipate consolidated gold equivalent production to be in the range of 102.9-117.2 thousand ounces of gold equivalent. This represents a small increase to our 2024 gold equivalent production, representing higher recovery in San Bartolomé and a more steady production environment with less equipment downtime at Golden Queen. Consolidated production. We expect Golden Queen operating cash cost of $1,500-$1,800 and all-in sustaining cost of $19.50-$21.50. San Bartolomé cash gross operating margin of 6.5 and 8.4, and gross margin ratio of 29%-36%. Total capital expenditures expected to range between $28.2 million and $32 million. This includes sustaining capital of $18.3 million-$20.2 million and gross capital of $9.9-$11.8 million. On San Bartolomé, sustaining capital between $5.6 million-$6.2 million, driven by tailings expansion and processing upgrade projects. At Golden Queen, sustaining CapEx between $12.7 million-$14 million, focused on stacking system and process plant equipment replacement, overhauls of existing equipment, upgrades to crushing equipment, and gross capital between $9.3 million-$11 million, focused on initial capital outlays for a new phase of the heap leach pad, purchase of new haul trucks, and investment into a new production water well for future mine production. With this, this concludes the financial review of our Q4 and 2024 results. I will turn the call back over to Alberto for closing remarks. Alberto. Thank you, Juan Carlos. As mentioned in my initial remarks, 2024 was truly a transformational year for Andean. We fully integrated Golden Queen into our operational portfolio, generated record revenue, adjusted EBITDA, generated significant free cash flow, and strengthened our management team. We doubled the size of our company in many metrics, such as revenues and production, all of these with zero dilution to our shareholders while increasing our liquid assets. We look forward ahead for 2025. We remain focused on operational efficiencies, continuing our regional exploration efforts at Golden Queen, securing more ore purchase agreements at San Bartolomé, and inorganic growth opportunity as well. I am excited about the journey we're on, and we thank you for your continued support. We look forward to sharing more updates on our progress in the coming quarters. With that, I will hand the call back over to the operator for Q&A. Thank you. Operator. Thank you. At this time, we'll begin the question and answer session. To ask a question, please press star and then one on your telephone keypads. You will hear a tone acknowledging your request. If you are using a speakerphone, we do ask that you please pick up the handset prior to pressing any keys. To withdraw your questions, you may press star and two. Once again, that is star and then one to join the question queue. Our first question today comes from Justin Chan from SCP Resource Finance. Please go ahead with your question. Hi, guys. Thanks a lot for taking the questions, and congratulations on another really strong quarter and a strong year. My first one's on San Bartolomé. If I may, I think guidance after Q3 was updated to $7 CGOM and 30% margin, and you did $11 CGOM, 43% margin in Q4, and you're well above guidance for the year. Just looking at this year's guidance, it's for margins to come down a little bit. I'm just curious, what are the moving parts? If prices do not change, kind of what to expect? Yeah. Hi, Justin. Thanks for being on the call. Good morning. It's JC. Quickly, with respect to the CGOM, the main driver is obviously the silver price. With respect to the gross margin ratio, the main driver is the Bolivian effect. Those are the main drivers for those two parameters. Yeah. Gotcha. I guess if prices and effects do not change, how would your margins look versus, say, the guidance that you put out today of $6.5-$8.4 and 29%-36%? Again, I think it all depends on the Bolivian Boliviano. As you know, it has been distancing itself from the official exchange rate. If that continues to be the case, we will continue to see benefits from our local operating expenses. On the gross margin ratio, it will depend on where silver prices end up, right? Gotcha. I can see that guidance is probably conservative, but for example, if we stay as we are now, would your numbers look more like they did in Q4 than maybe your guidance? Yes. I think you're right, Justin. It's a conservative approach, but with the caveats of where the silver price and the Boliviano currency rate will be. Okay. Thanks. No, that's helpful just because it's, yeah. I mean, you definitely surprised to the upside quite a lot last year, which is great. Just want to make sure that we're kind of aware of what to expect. Thanks. I guess on Golden Queen, if I could ask on your exploration plans and thoughts on when you might be expecting to update your resources and your mine plan? It's Yohann here. I'm going to take that question. I was at Golden Queen last week, and I see tremendous potential first with infill drilling to transfer maybe some stuff that we're mining now into reserves and after that into reserves. This is great news, I think. On the exploration perspective, we have very, very good targets. We received some really promising results as well. We're still developing an exploration strategy for this year based on that, making sure that we align with business continuity at Golden Queen. Hopefully, we're going to be able to give you some more colors on that strategy in the next quarter call. Okay. Thanks. In terms of, I guess, that exploration strategy, is that accounted for in your capital guidance? Yes, it is. In terms of, have you allocated funds for exploration in those budgets? We did. We did, absolutely. I mean, by looking at all that, we may add some more funds, I mean, if we believe that the return is quite quick. Yeah. Absolutely. Okay. Conceptually, what would be, I know you have to review, but is it something that could be updated this year? Is it more likely next year? Just trying to get a sense. I guess we're going to come back to you about that. I mean, we still have to do some work. Again, this is an active conversation here, and the goal would be to give some news on exploration within the next, I would say, few quarters. Okay. Great. Thanks. Maybe just one last one. You've built a very strong balance sheet. You took on a bit of debt to acquire Golden Queen. You've now generated quite a lot of cash, and you're back in that cash position. What's your thoughts on capital allocation? I know growth is a priority. You have a share buyback. Just can you give us a sense of what to expect? Yeah, Justin. Hi. Let me tackle that one. Definitely, we have, as you know, we've been publicizing every month the amount of shares that our NCIB program is purchasing in the buyback. It's been conservative this year. We're still using our cash. We believe that at these levels, it's a very good use of our cash to start doing some shares buyback. That's number one. With respect to the growth, inorganic growth, we're still actively looking for inorganic growth in connection with potential targets that we can try to see under current market conditions as well. We intend to continue building our, let's just call it a war chest, in the balance sheet for those purposes. I think the sustaining and growth capital expenditures are basically really, really good because what we would like to accomplish is we would like to accomplish some of the investments this year to try to, in a way, improve efficiencies going forward. Yeah. Gotcha. All right. Thanks very much. Thanks, Alberto, Yohann, and JC. I'll free up the line. Thanks very much. Thank you. Once again, if you would like to ask a question, please press star and one. Our next question comes from Ben Pirie from Atrium Research. Please go ahead with your question. Hi, guys. Congrats on a great Q4 in 2024. Just a couple of quick questions here. Could you just expand on the CapEx spend at Golden Queen? What impact the initiatives from 2024 will have on 2025 production and operations? Going forward, the CapEx spend in 2025, what kind of effect that'll have over the long term? Yeah. This is JC. Hi Ben. Thanks for being on the call. This is a capital expenditures program we started last year. This year, we will complete the full replacement of our haul trucks. We're also starting this year to build our new pad that will start to be used late next year. Overhauls, it's the continuation of that revamping of most of our mobile equipment. I think the majority of the CapEx being allocated this year are within those three concepts, Ben. Okay. Thank you. Then on the equipment, what kind of efficiencies can that bring to the operation and production, specifically around costs or production throughput increasing? Yeah. That's a good question. For example, with respect to the haul trucks, we're getting obviously a more efficient haul. Bigger beds, more fuel efficient. We're also working on the design to better improve the distance between the bed and the crusher. We do expect some good efficiencies from getting those new trucks. Obviously, the major overhauls, the required maintenance will be much lower. We do expect not only efficiencies but cost savings down the road. Yeah. Understood. Looking forward to seeing that. Moving over to San Bartolomé, can you explain the decrease in tons milled in 2024 compared to 2023? If it's anything material, what have you guys done to make sure that production remains steady through 2025? Yeah. Bear in mind that in December, in late 2023, we decided to stop mining from our own deposit. As you know, it was depleting, and we decided to free up that capacity in our plant for better ores that we could buy locally in Bolivia. I think that had an impact compared to 2023. Also, we had, I would say, as we mentioned in our opening remarks, we had a lower production on our tailings recovery. We are working on trying to improve that production from the tailings this year. I think those two are the main impacts if we compare 2023 to 2024 on production. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Last question is around margins with silver and gold, the price being so high. Are we expecting margins to compress at all, just given your ore sources are able to send lower-grade ore and still be processed profitably, or are you guys maintaining a certain grade at San Bartolomé? I think with respect to the strong silver prices, we might, yes, see we're going to be paying more in some cases for the ore we buy because it's a formula based on international prices. At the end, as we have always said, as a processing facility, we always go and look for the refining margin, right? It could happen squeezed a little bit margins, yes, but we will always have that spread. Or we believe we'll have that spread. Yeah. Understood. Okay. Thanks, JC. That's all I have for today. Thank you, Ben. Ladies and gentlemen, with that, we'll be closing today's question and answer session. I'd like to turn the floor back over to Alberto Morales for any closing remarks. Thank you, Operator. I want to thank everyone for joining us today. We remain committed to driving our business forward and look forward to sharing our progress in the quarters ahead. Thanks again, and have a great day. Ladies and gentlemen, with that, we'll conclude today's conference call. You may disconnect your lines. Thank you for participating, and have a pleasant day.
