In regards to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, based on guidelines from local and national governments, we have implemented precautionary measures to reduce the risks associated with the spread of COVID-19. First and foremost is the health and safety of our team; we have taken measures to include reduce in-person meetings and work from home for all personnel, along with necessary steps to decrease costs while ensuring services to our clients remain unchanged. Secondarily, per our stated financial position, we remain very healthy and look to secure more cash service agreements while prudently deploying capital into exploration companies. These past months validate how robust our strategy is to typical volatile nature of the mining sector.
