0203 GMT - Datt Capital's chief investment officer says it's good to see activist Elliott on Northern Star's register. Emanuel Datt says Northern Star's board, while "collectively well-credentialed," lack the deep "bench strength" and mining experience commonly seen at comparable miners such as Evolution. "If shareholder returns have underperformed in a generational gold price bull run, it is worth asking what may occur should the gold price mean revert back towards historical norms," Datt says. A former shareholder of Northern Star, Datt Capital sold its stake shortly after the miner agreed to buy De Grey in late 2024. Datt says he expects any transaction or restructure to take time. Shares are up 11% at A$20.48. (rhiannon.hoyle@wsj.com; @RhiannonHoyle)
