Gold Fields said to express interest in buying Northern Star (Bloomberg) What kicked it off

MI6 ($2.3B) - Minerals 260 opened an SPP to raise up to $30m at 88c

CEL ($351m) - Challenger secured US$24m of convertible debentures (11% coupon, $2.72 conversion), with US$15m to settle in Oct and US$9m subject to shareholder approval

The bigger takeaway from Gold Fields’ rejected $38.7 billion proposal may be that Northern Star is now firmly in play.

NST has acknowledged several approaches over the past year and now a global major has put an actual control price on the company. Every prospective buyer now knows roughly where negotiations begin.

Gold Fields may ultimately win, but its scrip-heavy proposal could struggle if its own currency weakens, creating an opening for a rival with stronger paper. Think Yamana, where Gold Fields flushed the asset into play only for Agnico and Pan American to ultimately take it home.
