Hello, and welcome to the annual general meeting of shareholders of Argonaut Gold Inc. Please note that today's meeting is being recorded. It's now my pleasure to turn today's meeting over to Jim Kofman, Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Kofman, the floor is yours. Thank you, operator, and good afternoon. I call the meeting to order. My name is Jim Kofman, Chairman of Argonaut's board of directors, and I shall act as Chairman of the meeting. Argonaut is conducting a hybrid meeting, allowing those of you who are comfortable meeting in person to do so and others to participate by webcast. We wanna provide an opportunity for shareholders to attend and meaningfully participate. We think it's necessary to set out a few rules for the orderly conduct of today's meeting. Questions and requests for motions can be submitted by any registered shareholder or duly appointed proxyholder using the instant messaging service of the virtual interface. When asking a question, please indicate your name, which entity you represent, if any, and confirm that you are a registered shareholder or a duly appointed proxyholder. Questions will only be addressed during the question period at the end of the meeting, if there are any, provided that questions regarding procedural matters are directly related to the motions before the meeting may be addressed during the meeting. For the purpose of the meeting today, voting on all matters will be conducted by electronic ballot. Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders will be asked to vote on each business item after presentation of all business items. When you're asked to vote, you will receive a message on the virtual interface requesting you to register your votes. You only have a certain amount of time to do so when the polls are open. If you are a registered shareholder or proxyholder, and you have already voted and do not wish to change your vote, please do not vote during the ballot process. As this is a virtual meeting, we will not have a corporate presentation. The current company presentation is available on our website for your review. We will now proceed with the formal portion of today's meeting. I appoint David Ponzioch, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary of the company, to act as secretary of this meeting, and Kirsten Carvacho of Computershare Investor Services to act as scrutineer to compute the votes of any polls taken at this meeting and report thereon to me. To expedite the formal part of the meeting, I will move all motions, and Mr. Ponczoch will second all motions. We have previously mailed the meeting materials. I direct that copies of the documents mailed to the shareholders in the statutory declaration proving service of the meeting materials to the shareholders of the company be kept by the Secretary of the company with the minutes of the meeting. If there is no objection, the reading of the notice of the meeting will be dispensed with. Pursuant to the bylaws of the company, business may be transacted at this meeting if two persons are present who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders holding more than 25% of the shares entitled to be voted at this meeting. The scrutineer's report has now been received, and it shows that there are present in this meeting 333 persons holding or representing by proxy 213,028,632 common shares, or approximately 64% of the shares entitled to vote at this meeting. I declare that the meeting is regularly called and properly constituted for the transaction of business. Only shareholders of record as of March 15, 2022, which was the record date for the meeting or the properly appointed proxyholders are entitled to speak and vote upon matters at the meeting. Each shareholder of the company is entitled to one vote for each share they have. I refer you to the audited consolidated financial statements of the company as at December 31, 2021, together with the report of the auditor thereon. Copies of the financial statements and auditor's report were mailed to each shareholder requesting same at the time of the mailing of the notice of this meeting and are now placed before the shareholders of the company. If any shareholder has any questions or comments regarding the financials, we will be pleased to address them during the question and answer period at the end of the meeting. We will now proceed with setting the number of directors of the company. I move the number of directors at seven or such number as the directors may hereafter determine by resolution subject to limitations in the articles of the company. Mr. Chairman, I second the motion. Each item will be balloted at the conclusion of the meeting, with results reported following the meeting. Sufficient proxies have been received to show that all business will be approved. Unless there are any questions, I will move to the next item of business. We will now proceed with the election of directors. Argonaut did not receive any notice of any director nominations in connection with the meeting in accordance with its advance notice bylaw. Accordingly, the only persons eligible to be nominated for election to the board of directors are the management nominees. The seven directors to be elected by the shareholders of the company shall hold office until the close of business of first annual meeting of shareholders of the company following election or until their successors are elected or appointed. I hereby nominate for election as directors of the following: Larry Radford, Jim Kofman, Dale C. Peniuk, Audra Walsh, Ian Atkinson, Stephen Lang, and Paula Rogers. Since there are no other nominations, I move a motion to elect the seven nominees as directors. Mr. Chairman, I second the motion. Unless there are any questions, I will move to the next item of business. The next item of business is the appointment of the auditors of the company for the ensuing year. I move the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as auditors of the company until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders or until its successors appointed and authorizing the board of directors to fix the auditors' remuneration during this period. Mr. Chairman, I second the motion. Unless there are any questions, I will move to the next item of business. We will now proceed with an advisory vote on the company's report on executive compensation as set out in the management information circular of the company. I move the motion accepting the company's approach to executive compensation as set out in the circular. Mr. Chairman, I second the motion. Unless there are any questions, I'll move to the next item of business. The polls are now open. At this point, all registered holders and proxy holders who have properly logged in with their control numbers or username and wish to vote will be able to see on the screen all motions being brought forth at this meeting. If you're a registered shareholder or proxy holder and you have already voted and do not wish to change your vote, please do not vote during the ballot process. I should ask our scrutineers this. Are any shareholders registered who have not otherwise voted? No registered shareholders are on. Okay, thank you. We'll move on. Please register your votes. I don't think I need to say that, so we will just move on. We've been advised by the scrutineers that ballots deposited at the meeting have been voted in favor of all the resolutions. The number of directors for the ensuing year has been set at seven. Each of the seven nominees have been elected as directors of the company to serve until the next annual meeting of the shareholders or until their successors are elected or appointed. The appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the auditors of the company has been approved, and the board of directors of the company has been authorized to fix their remuneration. The company's approach to executive compensation as set out in the management information circular has been approved. I declare that the results of the poll be included with the minutes of this meeting and the results of voting will be announced in a press release in accordance with the policy of the TSX and filed on SEDAR. As there is no additional business, I will now move that the formal part of this meeting be terminated. Mr. Chairman, I second the motion. I declare the motion carried and the formal part of the meeting is terminated. As no registered shareholders are registered, I assume there's no questions. Thank you, operator. Thank you, scrutineers, and we can now terminate the call. This concludes the meeting. You may now disconnect.
