NNL verifies extensive gold at 2nd Finnish project
Nordic Resources' 'secondary' gold project is turning out to be a head-turner Kiimala Trend project intersections include 122m @ 1.52g/t gold close to surface Data review at the Angesneva prospect also discovered 5.31g/t gold over 15m Project hosts a cluster of 12 gold prospects and two non-compliant resources Company plans to update historical resources and start drilling at the flagship Kopsa project after the acquisition is complete Special Report: Nordic Resources has found up to 5.31g/t gold while reviewing historical data at the soon-to-be acquired Kiimala Trend gold project in Finland. The project is the second of three gold being acquired from Northgold AB, a Swedish-listed gold exploration company, all located together in the same region of Finland. Kiimala looks likely to become an important part of the company's regional gold strategy, lying just 45km from the Kopsa project that hosts a near-surface resource of 23.2Mt at 1.09g/t gold equivalent for 814,800oz gold equivalent. While Kopsa remains the primary project, Nordic Resources (ASX:NNL) also considers the Kiimala Trend to be extremely prospective for gold and copper. The project hosts a cluster of 12 gold prospects, of which eight have been drilled with all eight reporting some significant near-surface gold intersections and historical, non-compliant gold resources reported at the Angesneva and Vesipera prospects. The data review highlighted intersections at Angesneva of: 122.4m at 1.52g/t gold and 0.12% copper from 57.2m 79.8m at 1.85g/t Au and 0.18% Cu from 127.8m; and 73.7m at 1.73g/t Au and 0.13% Cu from 247.2m incl. 15.2m at 5.31g/t Au and 0.31% Cu from 272.1m. Intersection highlights at Vesipera include 10.4m at 4.93g/t gold from 53.5m and 12m at 2.99g/t from 88m. And the Kimala prospect returned 17.3m at 2.27g/t gold and 0.28% copper from 42.6m, and 9m at 1.46g/t Au and 0.02% Cu from 182.4m. Apart from Angesneva and Vesipera, the remaining prospects have received little to no drilling. The company's review of the Hirsikangas gold project is ongoing.

Updating historical resources the next step All three of the projects being acquired are advanced and represent substantial near-term upside to NNL's strong operational platform in Finland – while the company continues its earn-in and joint venture discussions around its extensive Pulju nickel-copper sulphide project. Watch: Finnish trio to bolster the NNL portfolio The company is also working to validate the historical exploration database for another of the projects, called Hirsikangas, and potentially bring to JORC (2012) compliance. 'With regard to its recently announced gold project acquisitions, Nordic is focused on further exploration and development of the substantial Kopsa gold-copper project as the near-term priority,' executive director Robert Wrixon said. 'However, the exploration upside at the Kiimala Trend project is hard to ignore as it is an extremely strong gold project. 'We look forward to updating the market further as this validation work progresses.' The proposed transaction is subject to shareholder approval at both Nordic and Northgold's upcoming general meetings, expected to complete in early June 2025. And Nordic then intends to commence its first drill program at Kopsa as soon as possible thereafter.

Short Stint With Pulse For Experienced Australian Midcourter
Facing further injury setbacks, Te Wānanga o Raukawa Pulse have recruited former Australian Diamond Gabi Simpson as a temporary replacement player ahead of the 2025 ANZ Premiership netball league. Midcourter Simpson will add cover for Maddy Gordon and Whitney Souness, who are currently working through their `return to play' programmes following respective injury and surgery. Gordon suffered a knee injury during a pre-season match against the Mystics last month while Souness has been rehabbing after undergoing ankle surgery prior to Christmas. There is strong optimism the Silver Ferns midcourt duo will be back in action early in the season-proper and, in the interim, Simpson will provide strength and stability in the midcourt until their return. The third most capped player for the Queensland Firebirds with 157 appearances during a stellar 11-year national league career, Simpson also played 41 tests for the Diamonds during which she assumed the vice-captaincy. The Pulse have used several of their Manawa National Netball League (NNL) players through the pre-season but with the shorter ANZ Premiership season (two rounds), it was felt an experienced player was needed to help stabilise the midcourt. ``There is no time to grow another player and while we're grateful to the NNL players who have stepped in, none have done a full NNL season themselves and we needed some experience,'' Netball Central Director of High Performance Waimarama Taumaunu said. There was a wide search, including New Zealand-based players, before landing with Simpson, who will train with the Pulse for the first time today (Thursday) and be available for their Round 1 match against the Magic in Palmerston North on May 10. The Pulse have already ready been forced to draft shooter Amorangi Malesala in as a temporary replacement for Khiarna Williams who is out for several weeks with a shoulder injury.

Remo Stars clinch historic Nigeria Premier League title
Published: Monday, 28 April 2025 Remo Stars secured their maiden Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) crown on Sunday, edging Niger Tornadoes 1-0 at the Remo Stars Stadium to write a new chapter in their history. A late goal from Olamilekan Muhammed Adebayo in the 84th minute proved decisive, sparking celebrations as the Sky Blue Stars finally got their hands on the prestigious trophy. The crucial victory moved Remo Stars to 68 points after 35 matches, having recorded 21 wins, five draws, and nine losses. They hold a commanding 10-point lead over second-placed Rivers United, who sit on 58 points from 16 wins, 10 draws, and nine defeats. Abia Warriors occupy third place with 56 points, while Ikorodu City are fourth on 53 points as the league campaign approaches its final stages. A Journey Years in the Making Founded in 2004 by Kunle Soname under the name FC Dender, Remo Stars have steadily climbed the ranks of Nigerian football over the past two decades. Their ascent saw them earn promotion to the Nigeria National League (NNL) in 2010. However, progress was not always linear. The club faced relegation from the top flight in 2018 but showed resilience by bouncing back in 2021, securing a place in the NPFL after finishing second in the NNL playoff Group A. This title triumph marks a historic achievement not just for the club but also for the Southwest region. Remo Stars are the first club from the region to win the Nigerian top-flight title since Julius Berger lifted the trophy in 1991. So where does the club go from here?! 🎙️The gaffer, Daniel Ogunmodede shares his post match thought after sealing the NPFL title. #RemoReigns | #WeAreRemoStars | #NPFL25 — Remo Stars Sports Club (@RemoStarsSC) April 28, 2025 Looking Ahead With the NPFL title secured, Remo Stars now turn their attention to preparations for continental football, as they are set to represent Nigeria in next season's TotalEnergies CAF Champions League. It is a moment of immense pride for the club's management, players, and supporters, who have waited patiently for their rise to the summit of Nigerian football.
