Gold Fields Reportedly Considers Sale of $1.1 Billion Stake in Northern Star The $1 billion stake held in Northern Star Resources Limited (ASX:NST) by Gold Fields Limited (JSE:GFI) is in focus for investment bankers, which are said to be pitching on a selldown that may happen as early as this week. When South Africa's Gold Fields finalises its deal to buy Australian-listed gold miner Gold Road Resources this week for $3.6 billion or $3.29 per share, Gold Fields will inherit almost 49.3 million shares in Northern Star. Gold Road had inherited the Northern Star stake because it earlier owned a 17.3% stake in De Grey Mining. Northern Star bought De Grey Mining in May for $5 billion. The adviser for Gold Fields is JPMorgan and it will likely advise on the selldown out of Northern Star. If the block trade unfolds, the Northern Star shares will likely be in strong demand as investors hope to capitalise on the gold price hitting new records this year of over $5,000 an ounce.

Suitors Reportedly Consider to Buy Bellevue Gold Evolution Mining Limited (ASX:EVN), Northern Star Resources Limited (ASX:NST) and Regis Resources Limited (ASX:RRL) are three of the groups believed to be in a data room considering a deal to buy Bellevue Gold Limited (ASX:BGL), sources say. Exactly how serious the parties are remains to be seen, with sources suggesting most would look at the business to assess what was on offer as an educational -exercise at the very least. However, of those, Northern Star was thought to be the most likely buyer. Offshore groups were also taking a look. Given that Bellevue Gold was out of the money on its hedge book, it made a deal difficult to stack up, market experts say. Already, Bellevue, advised by UBS, has said it has had informal approaches, and rather than running a formal sale process, it is offering certain parties access to a data room. The $1 billion gold company that has the Bellevue Gold Project in Western Australia is considering a sale after downgrading its production guidance, closing out part of its goldmining hedge book, raising equity and flagging changes to the group's board and executive team. Australian peers are now interested in buying Bellevue to secure more production at a time when gold's price increases show no sign of abating, rather than for synergies. The management of Regis Resources is conservative and is bidding for the EMR Capital-backed Ravenswood goldmine near-by. It would have capacity to buy one or the other, but not both. Northern Star would be one of the only Australian groups with synergies, because it could shut down the Bellevue Gold mill and feed ore into its WA Thunderbox gold facility, which is under--utilised, say experts. Northern Star's challenge is that it has just purchased De Grey Mining. New Risk • May 12
New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. Cash payout ratio: 102% Dividend yield: 2.6% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (102% cash payout ratio). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (25% increase in shares outstanding). New Risk • May 10
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 25% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Duyuru • May 05

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: AU$3.6m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Recent Insider Transactions • Nov 10
