Board and Executive Management Restructure

Changes to Nordic’s leadership team to reduce costs while prioritising ongoing exploration and development at the flagship Pulju Nickel Project in Finland

Nordic Nickel Ltd (ASX: NNL) ("Nordic Nickel" or "the Company") advises that, in response to ongoing weak market conditions and depressed nickel prices, it has implemented a number of changes to its Board and Executive Management structure.


The changes will reduce corporate overheads while maintaining continuity within the existing team and preserving the Company’s valuable experience and expertise to prioritise exploration and the ongoing strategic partnerships process at both the Pulju Nickel Project and the Maaninkijoki 3 Copper-Nickel-PGM Project.

Effective from 30 September 2024, the following changes will take effect:

1. Todd Ross, the current Managing Director, will transition to the role of Non- Executive Chairman. Todd's extensive experience and leadership have been instrumental in advancing the Pulju Project and driving the Company’s strategic direction. As Chairman, Todd will continue to provide strategic oversight, guidance and maintenance of key stakeholder relationships, ensuring the Company's ongoing focus on value-creation for shareholders.

2. Marcello Cardaci will step down as Chairman but will remain on the Board in a Non-Executive Director capacity. Marcello's contribution as Chairman has been significant, and the Board is pleased that he will continue to lend his expertise and knowledge to the Company in a non-executive role.

3. Robert Wrixon will continue in his role as Executive Director. Rob's operational expertise and deep industry knowledge remain crucial as Nordic Nickel continues to progress its exploration and development activities at the Pulju Project.

4. Juho Haverinen will remain in his role as Non-Executive Director. Juho's local knowledge and experience are vital to the Company’s success in navigating the regulatory and community engagement landscape in Finland.

Management Comment

Nordic’s Executive Director Robert Wrixon commented: "This restructure is a proactive step to adapt to the current market environment while ensuring we maintain the continuity and expertise that have been the driving forces behind Nordic Nickel's progress to date. By reducing costs and realigning our leadership structure, we are positioning the Company to continue advancing our key projects and stakeholder relationships without compromising on our strategic goals. I am confident that with Marcello's continued involvement and the ongoing contributions of Todd and Juho, Nordic Nickel remains positioned to deliver long-term value to shareholders."

The Board believes these changes will not only reduce costs but also strengthen the Company’s governance structure as it continues to advance the Pulju Project. This restructure reflects the Company’s commitment to preserving shareholder value during challenging market conditions while ensuring continuity and retention of expertise.

The Board of Nordic Nickel thanks Marcello for his outstanding service as Chairman and looks forward to his continued contributions in his new capacity.

INSG: Global Nickel Surplus to Hit 198,000 MT in 2025

Amid rising production and weakening demand, the global nickel market is forecast to swing into a 198,000 metric ton (MT) surplus in 2025, according to the International Nickel Study Group (INSG).

In an April 24 release, the INSG said that world primary nickel production is expected to reach 3.735 million MT this year, outpacing the primary usage forecast of 3.537 million MT for 2025.

The nickel sector recorded surpluses of 170,000 MT in 2023 and 179,000 MT in 2024.

"The world economy is currently facing changes to national policies, namely related to trade. This will probably contribute to a higher level of uncertainty regarding raw materials markets," the group notes.

Prices for nickel, a critical component in stainless steel and electric vehicle (EV) batteries, have struggled under mounting oversupply. After losing more than 7 percent in 2024, nickel prices continued to show volatility in Q1 2025.

Nickel Price Update: Q1 2025 in Review

Nickel prices have largely trended down since breaking US$20,000 per metric ton in May 2024.

The decline has been attributed to refined nickel oversupply, driven by high output from Indonesia, which mined an estimated 2.2 million metric tons of nickel in 2024 and accounted for more than 50 percent of global output.

The threat of US tariffs has also weighed heavily on markets that are reliant on nickel and its downstream products, such as the stainless steel and electric vehicle battery industries.

These factors pushed nickel to five year lows in the US$15,000 range in Q1.

Top 3 ASX Nickel Stocks of 2025

With its diverse applications in both technology and industry, nickel is a metal that will never go out of style.

Nickel is commonly used in alloys to create stainless steel, but more recently has found a modern use: batteries. As the electric vehicle trend gains steam, the base metal is in high demand for its role in lithium-ion batteries.

Nickel has encountered much volatility in the past few years. After spiking to record highs in 2022, the nickel price has been on a downward trend on oversupply from top-producing country Indonesia and economic uncertainty dampening demand.

Tariffs could further disrupt the nickel market going forward, but whether that's to the upside or the downside remains to be seen.

Against that backdrop, some Australian nickel companies are still making moves. Here the Investing News Network has listed the top nickel stocks on the ASX by year-to-date gains. Data was gathered using TradingView's stock screener on April 9, 2025, and all companies had market caps above AU$5 million at that time. Read on to learn more about them.
