The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory has measured the $^8$B solar neutrino flux using an array of 3He proportional counters. Results obtained using a Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) parameter estimation, integrating over a standard extended likelihood, yield effective neutrino fluxes of: phi_nc=5.54+0.33-0.31(stat)+0.36-0.34(syst) x 10^6 /cm^2/s, phi_cc=1.67+0.05-0.04(stat)+0.07-0.08(syst) x 10^6 /cm^2/s, and phi_es=1.77+0.24-0.21(stat)+0.09-0.10(syst) x 10^6 /cm^2/s. These measurements are in agreement with previous solar neutrino flux measurements, and with neutrino oscillation model results. Including these flux measurements in a global analysis of solar and reactor neutrino results yields an improved precision on the solar neutrino mixing angle of theta=34.4+1.3-1.2 degrees, and Delta m^2=7.59+0.19-0.21 eV^2.
