Northern Star Resources Ltd is heading into the year-end break with a powerful tailwind behind it: gold has been on a record-setting run, and Australian gold equities have been partying like it’s 1849.

Northern Star Resources Ltd is back in the spotlight as the gold market closes out 2025 in full “melt-up” mode.
