0150 GMT - Northern Star bull Macquarie is intrigued by the timing of managing director Stuart Tonkin's resignation. "While there is never a good time for an MD transition, we think the timing is interesting in the context of the reserve and resource update, which was originally slated for May," Macquarie says. It wonders if there is some downside to reserves at the Hemi project as it is incorporated into Northern Star's reserves and resources for the first time. In terms of Tonkin's potential successor, Macquarie notes that both Northern Star's chief financial officer and chief operating officer have significant experience and have been with the miner for an extended period of time. The bank has an outperform rating and A$25.00 target on Northern Star, which trades down 1.4% at A$19.08. (rhiannon.hoyle@wsj.com; @RhiannonHoyle)
