we took on, uh, was really put in place when we knew we had to draw down some debt, for, uh- for the construction of inaudible. Obviously with the gold price being substantially, uh, higher, um, since the development of inaudible, than what was projected at the time of construction, and when we're in that financing phase, uh, we ultimately paid down, uh, our debt facilities a lot faster than, uh, than- than inaudible at that point in time, so what you can really expect to see, uh, you know, barring some need for, uh, for drawing down debts to grow the business, is that we'll continue to deliver inaudible. Question now, from Sabrina. When will a decision be made as to whether a dividend will be paid for the December ' 21 half? Uh, the, uh, announcement of every dividend, obviously follows the, um, final orders to the accounts, and the announcement of those accounts. So, you'd expect it to come out after our financials, uh, are formally reported, uh, and then the board is able to determine, um, the dividends at that point in time. Our annual results will be, released in the last week of March, along with our sustainability report. A question from Scott. Is the company still active in the M&A area? Yeah, look, I mean, it's no, uh, secret, we've, uh, looked at lots of opportunities, uh, inaudible, you know, Tropicana, well publicized. Uh, and also the more recent, uh, inaudible look at Apollo. Uh, I guess we've also accessed- you know, exercised discipline, in what we're prepared to pay. Um, so, uh, you know, we're still looking for opportunities, but, I guess we're also quite disciplined about, uh, if they're going to create money for shareholders, not just getting a transaction done. Uh, thank you all for your webcast questions, that's the first time we've, um, we've done that, and I think that worked really well. There's a few other questions, I know, that we haven't had time to answer on this call. Uh, we'll endeavor to answer those, uh, we'll get back to you on those questions in due course. Um, I'll just quickly check in with Darcy, if there are any questions from the- from the phone, otherwise, um, please hand back to me, Darcy. Thank you, we do have a question from Paul Kaner, from inaudible. Please go ahead. Yeah, hi James, thanks- thanks for taking my question. Ju- just on your ' 22 guidance, uh, when we have a look at that, compared to your previous three year guidance, which you- which you put out in- in February of last year, there's- there's about a nine to 10% increase in your oil and sustaining costs. Could you- could you inaudible talk specifically what is driving this- this delta increase? And- and how much is related to inflationary, uh, increases? Yeah, so I think that you're saying that, Paul, no, uh, state secret, but, um, uh, you know, RBI is experiencing higher costs, um, so we've obviously factored those in. Um, the- I'd also say they're not, um, particularly astronomical, uh, so sort of a few percents is what you need to be considering around kind of CPI top levels. Uh, the other thing, probably, of note, which I think my commentary on, uh, during the presentation, is that we're pulling forward mining volumes, uh, and we're doing that quite consciously, really, as a risk mitigation strategy, around, you know, labor shortages, and delays from COVID or- or either of those kind of events. Um, now, of course, how that exactly pans out during the year, um, will depend on whether the- any of those risks eventuate. But of course, over the life of the mine, we're not actually spending more money, it's- it's purely an offset, spending that this year, rather than in future years, and- and accelerating that- that inaudible movement. Uh, so we think that's a prudent strategy to, uh, really mitigate mining related risks to production, uh, but it does have a consequence of- of contributing to, uh, higher all-in sustaining costs, uh, here in this year. The other slight impact on that, Paul, as well, is, um, production guidance in terms of ounces is down very slightly on our, uh, initial outlook, and that, again, is just driven by slightly slower progress into those improved gap rates, so obviously, with slightly lower ounces, our all-in sustaining cost per ounce is impacted. Yeah, no, understood, and- and just, uh, remind me again, on the, uh- uh, the stockpiles you have on site at the moment, as a sort of another contingency to these labor pressures, obviously. Yeah. Uh, look, I don't have the exact number in front of me. In order of magnitude, uh, three, 3.5 million tons of total stockpiles. There are obviously of lower, uh- uh, grade on average, than the, um, the rum grade, um, so, uh, you know, they provide a, uh, a bit of buffer, in terms of being able to keep the mill going with- with any, uh, you know, mining related delays or disruption, but- but if we rely on those stockpiles, we'll obviously have a- a negative impact on gold produced. Yeah, perfect. Now, that's all from me, thanks very much. Thanks, Paul. Thank you. There are no further questions on the phone at this time. Thanks Darcy. So, um, I'll just close on, um, slide 11. Um, uh, obviously, this is just a summary of our quarter. Um, it shows, you know, as- as we outlined grades and throughput increased, and we're still in line with our two year outlook. Um, gold rose, attributable resources are now lifted to 4.7 million ounces. Um, thanks to the impact from Yamana. Um, we see continued encouragement with exploration, we're excited now, the rigs are returning to site. Um, our balance sheet is strong and I'm very happy that, uh, cash and equivalents grew by quite a considerable amount during the quarter. Thanks everyone for attending, and we look forward to speaking to you again, next quarter.
