Okay. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to welcome you on behalf of the Board and the officers of Olivut Resources to this Annual and Special Meeting of the shareholders of the corporation. My name is Leni Keough, President and CEO of Olivut, and I will chair this meeting. It is my pleasure to welcome the common shareholders of the corporation and any guests present today. The persons entitled to take part in and vote at this meeting are the common shareholders of the corporation or their proxies. On behalf of the corporation, I wish to express thanks to those shareholders who submitted their proxies in advance. This Annual General and Special Meeting of the corporation has been called to consider the receiving of the corporation's audited financial statements as at and for the years ended October 31, 2022, and 2021; electing Directors for the ensuing year; appointing McGovern Hurley LLP Chartered Professional Accountants as the corporation's auditor for the ensuing year; and authorizing the Directors to set the auditor's remuneration and approving the amended and restated share option plan. To conduct this meeting efficiently, we have asked certain attendees to move and second the items of business that the corporation is required to conduct at this meeting. I'd like to proceed with the formal portion of today's Annual General and Special Meeting. The call to order. I now call to order the Annual General and Special Meeting of the corporation shareholders. With the consent of the meeting, I appoint Jay Kellerman, as Secretary of the meeting. With the consent of the meeting, I appoint Stikeman Elliott as scrutineer for the meeting to report on the number of shareholders present in person or by proxy, to tabulate the votes on any poll taken at this meeting, and to report to me as the Chairman of the meeting. The notice calling the meeting shareholders was mailed on February 14, 2023. The purpose of today's meeting is set out in that notice of meeting. I shall now request the secretary to table the proof of mailing, indicating that the notice of meeting, the management information circular, and a form of proxy were mailed properly to shareholders. I direct that a copy of the notice, the management information circular and the proxy, together with the proof of mailing, be attached by the secretary to the minutes of this meeting. In order for a quorum to be present at this meeting, the bylaws of the corporation require that at least two shareholders of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting are present in person or represented by proxy, irrespective of the number of persons actually present at the meeting. The secretary has reported that there are represented at this meeting, in person or by proxy, 18 shareholders, representing an aggregate of 20,905,917 common shares. The scrutineer's report confirms that there are a sufficient number of shareholders and proxy holders in attendance to permit this meeting to proceed in accordance with the bylaws of the corporation. I direct the secretary of the meeting to attach a copy of the scrutineer's final report on attendance to the minutes of this meeting. I now declare that the meeting is regularly constituted for the transaction of business. To expedite the voting today, I propose to conduct that vote on all matters is by show of hands. However, a shareholder or a proxy holder present in person at this meeting has the right to demand that a poll, by way of a ballot, can be conducted on any resolution.
