Gold Fields submitted a non-binding, indicative proposal to acquire 100% of Northern Star Resources for R455bn. The Northern Star Resources board subsequently rejected the proposal. Michael Chaney, chairperson of Northern Star Resources, stated the bid was below the board's view of fundamental value and noted the jurisdictional risk associated with the consideration.
