Larry joined us as part of the reconstitution of management in 2021 and we have benefited greatly from his leadership, expertise, and experience in the mining industry. We have deep technical bench strength at Gold Standard and are pleased to have Jeff and Mark assume additional responsibilities. As evidenced by the results of our Feasibility Study released last month, we believe the South Railroad Project is one of the best undeveloped gold projects in a Tier-1 jurisdiction and we continue to advance towards our goal of becoming the low-cost junior producer of choice in Nevada."
