In Perth we have Bob Kirkby, President of Carbon Steel Materials, Graeme Hunt, President Western Australia Iron Ore & HBI, and Stefano Giorgini, Vice President and Chief Strategic Officer for Carbon Steel Materials. I'll hand over to Bob and Graeme first of all to make some observations on the announcement today and then we'll come back for some questions. MR KIRKBY: Thank you Rob. It's Bob Kirkby here. I assume everyone has our press release where we set out the details of this announcement, but in essence we're announcing the approval of the Mining Area C development. We're also announcing the approval of the Port Hedland capacity expansion, infrastructure expansion, and also today we have signed a joint venture agreement with POSCO, who are our largest customer, to take equity in an area called the C area of the Mining Area C mine. These developments are part of our iron ore and our Carbon Steel Materials strategy. We see continuing growth in the seaborne iron ore trade. A lot of that will be driven by China, and also in the rest of our Asian region. Secondly, we see our most advanced steel making customers seeking new products, new value in use products that they can use to their advantage to lower their costs.
