Deal Fever: NST Dodges, LYC Deals

Money of Mine

Show Notes

Australia’s biggest gold deal is here, with Gold Fields locking Northern Star in its gaze. There's so much to this story. We get into why this isn't a rerun of Gold Road, what Gold Fields does next and whether an NST board mid-CEO transition has the backbone to go it alone. Plus, Lynas strikes an all-scrip deal for Meteoric, and Robert Friedland delivers one of the great keynotes at Mining Forum Americas (MFA). We cover: Gold Fields makes its move

Why NST rejected the proposal, the missing CEO voice and who's winning the media war
