We are at 11:00 A.M. Adelaide time. I would like to welcome all shareholders and invited guests to the extraordinary general meeting of Elixir Energy Limited. It is now 11:00 A.M. Adelaide time. My name is Richard Cottee. I'm the Chairman of Elixir and of today's meeting. I also welcome those watching via a live stream. Attendees via the live stream will not be able to vote or ask questions, unfortunately. A quorum is present, and I therefore declare the meeting open. I would like to introduce my fellow directors, the first of whom will be Stuart Nicholls, who is our new Managing Director, and he's brought on board to try and develop the Taroom Trough. The Taroom Trough, Elixir has the largest acreage position in the Taroom Trough. Stuart, you might like to say a few words.
Yeah, thank you, Richard. Firstly, thank you to Elixir's board, management, and shareholders for having me on this journey. I'm very excited to be joining Elixir at this time. It's an incredibly pivotal moment, I think, in the evolution of the Taroom Trough. The maturity of the play is a lot more advanced than I think a lot of people understand. We're working through all of the information that we have at hand, and the board and I will be putting a strategic plan together in the coming weeks, and we look forward to communicating that with shareholders.
As I've said, I do enjoy my dialogue with shareholders, so I have shared my personal phone number and email address with everybody in my appointment announcement, and I do encourage anyone to reach out if they'd like to have a discussion about Elixir, its operations, or any other corporate matters at that time. Thank you again for having me. Thank you, Richard. Apologies, today's a bit of a formality in terms of a general meeting, and I do look forward to engaging with shareholders on a more strategic basis going forward. Thanks, Richard.
Thank you. Also present is Stephen Kelemen and Sloboda, and also Vicki Allison, our CFO, company secretary, as well as Neil Young, who is now classified as an advisor. I would certainly like to thank Neil for his stellar work with Elixir in the past. The resolutions will be voted via a poll.
