Australia’s Worst Big Gold Miner Could Become A Star Performer
Northern Star Resources, Australia’s largest gold miner, saw its shares plunge 40% after a troubled upgrade at the Kalgoorlie Fimiston mine caused production downgrades and rising costs. The decline outpaced the 15% drop in gold prices, prompting a wave of investor sell‑offs. Despite the setbacks, Citi, Macquarie and Bell Potter each maintain bullish price targets ranging from $19.25 to $24.50, suggesting potential upside of 43%‑100% if the mill ramp‑up succeeds. Analysts argue the worst‑case scenario is now priced in, opening the door for a share‑price rebound over the next year.
