[Foreign Language] Welcome, everybody, and welcome to the third quarter of 2019 conference call for updated financial results and outlook for Osisko Gold Royalties. We will be using a PowerPoint on our website. And I would take an opportunity to review our forward-looking statements as we get into this we will be providing some forward-looking statements as we get further into the presentation. The highlights for the third quarter of 2019, 18,123 GEOs were earned from our partner and revenues of $33.9 million for the quarter, record cash flows from operating activities at $28.3 million, a non-cash net loss of $45.9 million or $0.32 per share, basically reflecting the impairment on the stream and offtake interest of $60.8 million that Elif will be getting into in detail as we get further into the presentation.

We also closed the second tranche of the share repurchase with Orion for a total of 12,385,717 shares, which were cancelled. This represented about 8% of the outstanding stock of Osisko Gold Royalties and financial value of just under $175 million. We enhanced the silver stream on Mantos Blancos, renegotiated some of the conditions there, and we'll get into in detail.

And we do occasionally see in the in the gray and the gold colored zones within this chart. What has happened over the last five years in the accelerator space we've incubated Osisko mining, which has gone from an $8 million market cap to $750 million to $800 billion market cap with a successful discovery at Windfall Lake and continues to be the largest driller in Canada with over 24 drills turning on it as of yesterday and continues to be discovering new and exciting ounces there. We also came along, we incubated the HORNE 5 project, which went from zero ounces by end 2015 to currently sitting at 6.1 million ounces of gold equivalent reserves and overall reverse air over 9 million ounces, 24 ounces, which kind of supply the [indiscernible] deposit. So, huge success there, obviously, that project is currently in the trough. And that that is in the permanent cycle of a few full visibility was published in 2017. We also incubated Barkerville and with Cisco metals, which is operated by Bob Wares on the Pine Point Project, which is our base metal company, and we would consider Victoria to have…
