We have a long record of disciplined execution of a clear and simple strategy, and this last year was no exception. After a year of significant investment in 2022, we took advantage of our strong cash flow in 2023 to strengthen our balance sheet, increase our available liquidity, and raise our dividend for the 23rd consecutive year. As I reflect on our growth over the past four decades, the importance of our focus on jurisdictional risk became increasingly apparent during 2023. We are fortunate that most of our revenue comes from mining-friendly jurisdictions, and our largest revenue sources during the year were Canada and the United States. Your Board remains vigilant with respect to ensuring that geopolitical risk exposure is managed appropriately, and I am pleased to say that we have created long-term value by adding high quality and long-lived assets with an emphasis on stable jurisdictions. Our investments are long-term in nature and often require subjective assessments of political and jurisdictional risks, and I believe the collective judgement and experience that your Board brings to this issue is a valuable attribute. We look forward to reviewing the achievements of 2023 with you, and you are cordially invited to join us virtually for our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders on May 23, 2024, at 9 a.m. Mountain Time. Holders of record of our common stock on March 28, 2024, are entitled to notice of and to vote
