Marseille Misses Penalty In 2-1 Home Loss To Lowly Nimes

News18
·1-min read

PARIS: Florian Thauvin fluffed a penalty and Marseille paid the price as it was stunned at home by struggling Nimes 2-1 in the French league on Saturday.

Thauvin sent goalkeeper Baptiste Reynet the wrong way from the spot but his shot went over the crossbar in the 35th minute. Moments later, Reynet saved striker Dario Benedettos tame shot from close range with his foot.

Marseille was punished for those misses when Swedish midfielder Niclas Eliasson struck twice in quick succession early in the second half for Nimes to move off the bottom and into 18th place.

Benedetto pulled a goal back with five minutes left.

Right back Pol Lirola started his first game for Marseille since joining on loan from Italian side Fiorentina but the home side’s defense looked shaky without injured goalie Steve Mandanda.

Later Saturday, PSG was without coach Mauricio Pochettino for the trip to Angers after he tested positive for the coronavirus. A win would move PSG into first place ahead of Lyon, which hosts midtable Metz on Sunday.

  • Baita Plai Update & Revision of Mining Plan

    Vast Resources plc / Ticker: VAST / Index: AIM / Sector: Mining 26 February 2021 Vast Resources plc (‘Vast’ or the ‘Company’) Baita Plai updateRevision of Mining Plan Vast Resources plc, the AIM-listed mining company, is pleased to update the market on developments at its Baita Plai Polymetallic Mine (‘Baita Plai’) in Romania. As a result of experience gained since production commenced in October 2020, the Company is in the process of preparing a revised mining plan for Baita Plai incorporating a move away from the traditional labour intensive mining methods within the existing plan to a more “modern” mechanised mining method. This is designed to overcome various operational issues, to enhance productivity and efficiency and thus to optimise the in-situ metal value and take advantage of rising commodity prices. The revised mining plan will supersede the previous mining plan, the targets for which were announced on 7 September 2020. The production of concentrate at Baita Plai for Q4 2020* and anticipated for the rest of Q1 2021 is considerably lower than the targets set out in the previous plan. This shortfall is due principally to the lack of equipment reliability and supply chain and labour issues in part due to the COVID restrictions. These issues are in the process of being rectified under the revised mining plan the results of which are expected to more than make up the shortfall in the period covered by the previous plan (i.e. the period up to Q3 2022). To prepare for the enhanced mechanisation under the revised plan, the Company has already acquired, and is currently awaiting delivery of, three additional underground LHDs and a Jumbo Face Drilling Rig with long hole capabilities. The management of the mine has been made challenging by the fact that Craig Harvey, Chief Operating Officer of the Company, based in South Africa and who is the current manager of Baita Plai, was not able (as a result of COVID 19 restrictions) to be physically present in Romania from November 2020 to end of January 2021 thus necessitating remote management. The Company’s new full time Mine Manager at Baita Plai, Marcus Brewster (see announcement 22 January 2021), will arrive on site shortly, and is already actively engaged in and identified with the formulation of the revised mining plan, including the equipment upgrades to enable the implementation of a more effective mechanised mining method. The Company is aiming to complete and announce the revised mining plan around the end of March. * 493 Cu concentrate produced from Q4 ore against a target of 644 tonnes Cu concentrate. Pb/Zn ore remains stockpiled and unprocessed (Q4 target Zn 204 tonnes, Pb 94 tonnes) **ENDS** For further information, visit www.vastplc.com, follow the Company on Twitter @vast_resources and LinkedIn, or please contact: Vast Resources plc Andrew Prelea - CEOAndrew Hall www.vastplc.com +44 (0) 20 7846 0974Beaumont Cornish - Financial & Nominated Adviser Roland Cornish James Biddle www.beaumontcornish.com +44 (0) 020 7628 3396SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP – Joint Broker Richard Morrison Caroline Rowe www.spangel.co.uk +44 (0) 20 3470 0470 Axis Capital Markets Limited – Joint Broker Richard Hutchison www.axcap247.com +44 (0) 20 3206 0320St Brides Partners Limited Susie Geliher Beth Melluish www.stbridespartners.co.uk +44 (0) 20 7236 1177 The information contained within this announcement is deemed by the Company to constitute inside information as stipulated under the Market Abuse Regulations (EU) No. 596/2014 (“MAR”).
