We have a quorum present, and I declare the meeting open. My name is David Dix, I am a non-executive Director of Troy Resources and will be Chairing today’s meeting. It was intended that John Dow, whom I am to replace if elected by shareholders, would chair this his final AGM as Chairman and introduce me as his replacement. As many may know, John is Chairman of Pike River Coal the company that has been involved in the terrible tragedy in New Zealand where 29 Underground miners have lost their lives. John has remained in New Zealand comforting grieving families and dealing with the media coverage. These recent events bring home the real dangers that our employees face in the mining industry. John has asked me to convey this appreciation of the privilege of serving Troy shareholders for two years as Chairman where he has made an outstanding contribution to the implementation of the expansion of operations into Latin America, and the continued improvements in board functioning and corporate governance. As John‘s replacement I am very pleased with the state in which he has left the Company. John also asked me to express his appreciation for the assistance Paul Benson has provided during his Chairmanship. I would like to introduce to you my fellow Board members and Company Secretary. Starting on my far right is …………………. We also have apologies from Mr Ken Nilsson, our Executive Director Operations, is in the middle of commissioning our new Casposo mine in Argentina and sends his apologies. I am sure you will agree shareholders’ interests are best served having him on site driving the commissioning rather than here in Perth. The sooner the mine is producing on a consistent basis, the sooner the Board can proceed in its dividend declaration. The Minutes of last year’s Annual General Meeting have previously been approved by the Directors of the Company. If you would like a copy, they are available from the Company Secretary, Mr Sadgrove. CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS At the end of the formal business, Troy’s Managing Director, Paul Benson, will give a short presentation updating shareholders on your company’s activities. I would now like to present to you Mr Dow’s Chairman’s address.
