How Northern Star Became Australia’s Biggest Gold Miner

How does a shell company turn into Australia’s biggest gold miner, capped at nearly $30 billion?

In this episode, we unpack the fascinating story of Northern Star — from 2c a share to over $20, securing world-class assets across multiple continents, including the Australia’s greatest gold mine, the Super Pit.

We trace the company’s journey, get in the weeds on their M&A approach, and highlight the characters who shaped it — with a focus on the early days at Paulsens, the deal that set Northern Star on its path, and culminating with the coronation of the “King of Kalgoorlie.”
