Northern Star Resources’ share price has fallen by about 25 per cent so far in 2026, despite the rising price of gold. Chairman Michael Chaney has revealed that Northern Star’s underperformance has resulted in it being approached by several potential suitors during the last year, but such discussions did not proceed because they were not seemed to be in the best interests of shareholders. Chaney has also responded to a push by activist investor Elliott Investment Management to sell assets or the entire company; he says Northern Star’s board is of the view that it is not the right time to consider the latter option. He has also acknowledged that Northern Star has itself considered selling some mines, but decided against this; however, Chaney says all assets will be subject to regular review.
