RTE Kin star announces surprising new job as she opens up about life after fame
KIN star Yasmin Seky has revealed she has found a new career, months after Dancing With The Stars. The actress played Nikita Murphy in the RTE crime drama, who was the girlfriend of gangster Viking. Since Yasmin took part in Dancing With The Stars earlier this year, she has revealed to fans her love for horticulture. Updating her fans on life after Dancing With The Stars, Yasmin shared: "Started a new job working in a plant nursery. So happy to be doing something I actually love." Yasmin previously revealed she worked in a bank and continued to work there even after Kin aired, despite the show's huge success. The Dubliner said last year: "I'll get recognised in Tesco when I'm getting three Cadbury bars for €2. People will ask why I'm there. 'With a show as big as Kin, there's that expectation that you've filmed, you're now in Hollywood and you'll be on the next big Netflix show. 'That's not the reality for a lot of actors, especially for me, I'm only starting out. I'm still working in the bank, still auditioning. 'The writing strike had a bit of an effect on everybody. It was pretty quiet, a lot of auditions stopped. "A lot of productions are only starting to come back now. 'If you're someone who works nine to five, having the option to audition when it suits you, the only real time you have to go in person is if you get a recall. 'Most of the time they're in the UK so it's only one flight over,' she added at the time.

Romios Gold Exhibiting at PDAC 2025 and Invites Shareholders and Delegates to Re-Discover Romios at Booth 2717
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 28, 2025) - Romios Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: RG) (OTC Pink: RMIOF) (FSE: D4R) ('Romios Gold' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it will be exhibiting at the annual 2025 Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada Convention (PDAC), the world's premier mineral exploration & mining event. We invite all our shareholders and conference delegates to visit us at booth #2717. The in-person event will be held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC) from Sunday, March 2 nd to Wednesday, March 5 th, 2025. Romios' CEO and President, Mr. Stephen Burega and Vice - President, Exploration John Biczok are looking forward to discussing with shareholders and attendees the exciting results from the past 2 years' work on several of the Company's major projects, including: HIGHLIGHTS At the Kinkaid property in Mineral County, Nevada, recent work at the Honeycomb Hill prospect has reinforced the Company's belief that this prospect is just one of several potential porphyry Cu-Au-Ag centres on the property ( Press Release Oct. 8, 2024): The apparent porphyry copper centre and overlying epithermal to mesothermal base and precious metal rich vein system has now been expanded to an area >450 x 450 m with the discovery of numerous historic underground mine workings and highly mineralized trenches. The mineralized zones are surrounded by broad, pervasive sericitic alteration zones and appear to trend under younger, overlying volcanics to the south. The largest old mine workings consist of a 70 m long series of 4 adits and underground workings at Honeycomb Hill itself, and these have returned assays ranging from trace amounts to 78.16 g/t Au, 12.1% Cu and 575 g/t Ag. Field work on the adjacent KIN claim block in 2024 located numerous copper-rich boulders along the same creek bed that returned a series of 9 outstanding assays in 2023: 0.73% to 13.3% Cu as well as one magnetite sample with 12.7 g/t Au ( Press release Oct 8, 2023). The 2024 sample geology has now confirmed that the mineralized rocks are primarily garnet-epidote skarns, suggesting that the causative pluton is likely quite shallow in this area, and helped define the potential source area ( Press release Aug 27, 2024). Follow-up is planned in the spring of 2025. At the Scossa mine site, a former high-grade gold (>1 oz/t Au) producer in Pershing County, Nevada, a 3D model completed in 2022 has outlined a potential high-grade ore shoot at shallow depths down plunge from the old workings on the main vein. This remains a high-priority drill target, along with the boiling zone levels of the 4 parallel veins. Exploration in 2023 located a new showing that assayed 10.2 g/t Au across a 1 m wide, partially exposed quartz vein, 300 m along strike from the nearest historic workings ( see press release July 13, 2023). Field work on this new discovery is planned for the spring of 2025. Qualified Person The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by John Biczok, P.
