Chief Operating Officer - Michael Cardinaels Chief Financial Officer - Matthew Freeman Vice President, Exploration - Chris Pettman Operator: Thank you for standing by. My name is Tina, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Second Quarter 2026 Financial and Operating Results Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] It is now my pleasure to turn the call over to Matt Badylak, CEO.
Matt Badylak: Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone. We appreciate you taking time to join us today to review Galiano Gold's Second Quarter 2026 Financial and Operating results we released yesterday after market closed. During today's call, we'll be making forward-looking statements and referring to non-IFRS performance measures.
Please refer to the cautionary notes on Slide 2 of the webcast presentation and to the risk disclosures in our most recent MD&A. Yesterday's news release should be read together with our second quarter financial statements and MD&A, which are available on our website and filed on SEDAR+ and EDGAR. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts discussed on the call today are in U.S. dollars.
Joining me today are Michael Cardinaels, our Chief Operating Officer; Matt Freeman, our Chief Financial Officer; and Chris Pettman, our Vice President, Exploration. I will begin with an overview of the quarter. Michael will then discuss mining and processing, Matt will review the financial performance, and Chris will update you on exploration.
I'll then return to provide some perspective on our near-term catalysts and close the prepared remarks before we open up the call up for questions. Our first half performance has put us in a solid position to deliver our 2026 plan. We produced 34,400 ounces of gold in the second quarter, bringing the first half production to just over 69,000 ounces near the upper end of our previously communicated indicated range of 60,000 to 70,000 ounces.
This provides a solid foundation as we enter the higher production portion of the mine plan, which generated -- with grades expected to improve as mining advances at Abore. Our full year production guidance remains unchanged at 140,000 to 160,000 ounces, and our all-in sustaining cash cost guidance remains unchanged at $2,300 to $2,600 per ounce. Safety remains our highest priority.
