Price Performance
Growth Potential
- We expect the gold price to continue rising – we expect the gold price to rise above US$3,000/oz over the medium term.
- NST is a pure play on the gold price with attractive gold assets.
- Attractive production growth profile – the KCGM expansion alone is expected to deliver 27mtpa by FY29.
- Franking of dividends from FY25.
- New acquisitions provide upside (resource and operational improvement).
- Strong management team with significant mining expertise.
- Strong balance sheet – ample liquidity of $2.7bn ($1.2bn cash + $1.5bn in facilities).
- NST has a good track record of shareholder return. $300m on-market share buyback is still active and given the strong balance sheet and highly cash generative assets, we see potential for future share buybacks.
Key Risks

- Inflation and cost pressures impact margins.
- Production expansion plans fall short of market and management expectations/guidance.
