Dear Shareholder

As I write to you, I have just returned from the Diggers & Dealers 
mining forum in Kalgoorlie, where Northern Star won the coveted 
Dealer of the Year Award for our acquisition of the Pogo gold 
mine in (cid:36)laska(cid:17) (cid:55)he honour re(cid:565)ected the a(cid:69)ilit(cid:92) of (cid:92)our team to 
identify a great opportunity, the world-class nature of the Pogo 
mine and its ability to generate superior returns for Northern Star 
Shareholders.

Of course, gold production 
is just a link in the chain 
for Northern Star. As we 
have always maintained, 
the ultimate objective is to 
ma(cid:91)imise financial returns 
while adhering to our ESG 
policies.

The Pogo acquisition speaks volumes about Northern Star, the 
Company’s commercial strategy, its approach to investing in 
assets and its commitment to the highest environmental, social 
and governance (ESG) standards. At every level, Pogo meets or 
exceeds our requirements and illustrates how the right merger 
and ac(cid:84)uisition activit(cid:92) can create significant value for investors 
and other stakeholders alike. 

Pogo represented a textbook opportunity to combine Northern 
Star’s highly regarded operational skills with a Tier-1 gold deposit 
in a Tier-1 location. It is the perfect recipe. 

I am delighted to report that the widespread reforms we are 
introducing at the mine are already generating strong results, as 
evidenced by rising productivity, increasing production and falling 
costs. There is unquestionably more to be done on these fronts. 
But we are only nine months into what we said at the outset 
would be an 18-month process. 

The world-class nature of Pogo is demonstrated by the huge 
exploration success we have enjoyed in such a short time. With 
just six months of drilling, we have generated a maiden JORC 
Reserve of 1.5 million ounces. And the JORC Resource has been 
increased 43 per cent to 5.95Moz at the highly impressive grade 
of 9.6gpt. 

(cid:58)e(cid:519)ve al(cid:90)a(cid:92)s defined a (cid:55)ier(cid:16)(cid:20) asset as one (cid:90)hich is capa(cid:69)le of 
producing ~300,000oz a year for 10 years. The operational results 
to date, the (cid:69)enefits (cid:90)e are seeing from our change program and 
the significant e(cid:91)ploration success alread(cid:92) (cid:565)o(cid:90)ing through sho(cid:90) 
we are well on track to establishing that platform at Pogo.

Pogo is forecast to produce 200,000oz-240,000oz in the 12 
months to 30 June, 2020. Importantly, production in the second 
half of the year is forecast to be in the range of 120,000oz-
140,000oz, further demonstrating the highly favourable trends 
being seen as we implement our operating model.

(cid:51)ogo is still a (cid:90)ork in progress(cid:17) (cid:37)ut the (cid:69)enefits for our 
Shareholders were clear from the time of the acquisition, as 
shown by the fact that we raised A$175 million at A$6.70 a share 
in a placement to help fund the acquisition. In late July 2019, 
Northern Star shares traded at a record closing price of A$13.97. 

In times of a strong gold price, much 
is often made of rising production and 
total revenues. But all too often in the gold 
industr(cid:92), increases in these figures don(cid:519)t lead to 
increases in cash in the bank. Northern Star’s strong 
performance in this regard is highlighted by the fact that 
our cash and investments rose by A$73 million to A$361 
million in the recent June quarter alone. And this increase 
came despite paying A$38 million in dividends and A$22 million 
in tax.

This demonstrates the exceptional cash-generating capacity 
of our business. It also demonstrates Northern Star’s overall 
financial strength, (cid:90)ith no de(cid:69)t, consistent dividends e(cid:84)ual to (cid:25) 
per cent of our annual revenue, the ability to invest in organic 
gro(cid:90)th and outstanding free cash(cid:565)o(cid:90) generation(cid:17)

(cid:55)he com(cid:69)ination of this strong financial position and our 
commitment to operating only in Tier-1 locations enables 
Northern Star to comply with some of the most ambitious ESG 
requirements in our industry. There is no doubt that Tier-1 
locations provide a far preferable environment in which to meet 
our (cid:40)(cid:54)(cid:42) filters compared (cid:90)ith so man(cid:92) other parts of the (cid:90)orld(cid:17) 

In conclusion, it has been another stellar year for your Company. 
We acquired our third major operating asset and we have made 
huge strides in applying our expertise and systems to help unlock 
its full value. Our Australian operations are at the top of their 
game and our balance sheet is in outstanding shape.

So much of the credit for these achievements must go to our 
highl(cid:92) talented and committed management team, sta(cid:909) and 
contractors. This is ultimately a people business. And our people 
are second to none. On behalf of the Board, a huge thank you for 
your hard work over the past year.

I would also like to thank our Shareholders for the enormous 
support we have received, particularly in relation to Pogo. It is very 
comforting to kno(cid:90) that our (cid:54)hareholders are firml(cid:92) (cid:69)ehind the 
Company when we are making an investment of that scale and 
nature.

I look forward to reporting to you throughout what I expect will be 
another highly successful year for Northern Star.

While we are delighted with the progress at Pogo, we are in the 
enviable position of being able to invest in our new asset knowing 
that our Australian mines are performing extremely well, especially 
during a time of record-high Australian gold prices. 

Yours faithfully

The Jundee and Kalgoorlie operations sold a combined 639,243oz 
at all-in sustaining cost of A$1,167/oz (US$817/oz) in the past 
financial (cid:92)ear, achieving the top end of the (cid:25)(cid:19)(cid:19),(cid:19)(cid:19)(cid:19)o(cid:93)(cid:16)(cid:25)(cid:23)(cid:19),(cid:19)(cid:19)(cid:19)o(cid:93)

Safety

Safety Measures

Lead Indicators are a positive initiative to measure and provide focus 
on future safety performances across the business and improve the 
safety culture amongst our workers.

At Northern Star we have shifted our focus by using Lead Indicators to 
drive continuous improvement. A key performance indicator driven by 
these (cid:47)ead Indicators is the significant reduction in in(cid:77)ur(cid:92) statistics(cid:17) 

(cid:43)(cid:68)(cid:93)(cid:68)r(cid:71) (cid:918)(cid:71)ent(cid:76)fi(cid:70)(cid:68)t(cid:76)(cid:82)n (cid:68)n(cid:71) (cid:48)(cid:68)n(cid:68)(cid:74)e(cid:80)ent - key to identifying hazards 
and putting e(cid:909)ective controls in place to reduce the likelihood of harm 
to people, the environment and property. Personnel at all levels have 
an e(cid:91)pectation to engage in continuous ha(cid:93)ard identification and 
management.

Task Observations - a formal process where workers are observed 
completing a specific task to ensure all aspects are performed in the 
correct manner. Task Observations are integral and allow us to detect 
at risk acts, procedures, job hazard analysis and standards before they 
result in an incident occurring, as well as recognise safe acts made by 
workers. 

Active Field Leadership - allows managers and supervisors to assess 
and measure the e(cid:909)ectiveness of implemented ha(cid:93)ard controls in the 
field (cid:90)hilst providing guidance and leadership(cid:17)

Inspections - a formal process allowing us to identify hazards in the 
(cid:90)orkplace and measure ho(cid:90) e(cid:909)ectivel(cid:92) ha(cid:93)ards are (cid:69)eing managed in 
continuously changing conditions. Inspections are vital ensuring both 
legislative and Company requirements are met.

Emergency Response and Crisis Management 

Northern Star is committed to developing the capabilities of our 
emergency response team across our operations. In the last 12 
months we have worked tirelessly to build an internal structure to 
support our (cid:38)ertificate III in (cid:48)ine (cid:40)mergenc(cid:92) (cid:53)esponse and (cid:53)escue in 
Australia. 

(cid:55)he training o(cid:909)ers a holistic vie(cid:90) of all aspects of emergenc(cid:92) rescue 
from fighting (cid:90)ildfire to road crash rescue, the a(cid:69)ilit(cid:92) to search and 
rescue underground, respond to aviation incidents and provide 
emergenc(cid:92) medical first response(cid:17) 

We strive for excellence and have participated in several mines rescue 
events, committing to developing the emergency response skills 
and leadership capabilities within our team. We attended the Mining 
Emergency Response Competition (MERC) – Surface, in Western 
Australia this year (as pictured), and achieved overall ranking placed 
second. 

This has been a great achievement for the team but also an 
acknowledgment that we are developing team capabilities to ensure 
we are prepared to respond to any incident. The surface and 
underground competitions always test our ability to work as a unit, the 
scenarios are very realistic and highlight most emergency situations 
that could potentially occur.

To support our emergency services, it has been our goal to establish 
strong communication channels between sites and management to 
ensure we have a supportive and positive relationship well before a 
critical incident. Our leaders have participated in world-class training 
on crisis and emergency management. From business as usual to 
emergency response, emergency management, strategic planning to 
crisis management, we have developed strong leadership on sites to 
enable resilience and understanding of impacts and requirements in 
all roles across operations. 

Despite having operations across two continents our preparedness 
empo(cid:90)ers us to manage our risks (cid:90)ith kno(cid:90)ledge and confidence, 
knowing that we can support our employees at any site.

–  Melissa Collins 
  Principal - Health & Safety  

Northern Star focused on incident investigation training for 
supervisors, to improve the quality of the investigations and to 
develop actions that can prevent recurrence of similar incidents. This 
can lead to improved safety, reduced damage and better productivity. 
6.3% of our employees were trained across 5 sites and 2 continents 
during FY19.

Internal Auditor Training

Internal auditor training was introduced to improve auditing skills 
in relation to safety, across the business. Our internal auditors can 
no(cid:90) perform an e(cid:909)ective, value(cid:16)adding audit against the (cid:38)ompan(cid:92)(cid:519)s

In (cid:41)e(cid:69)ruar(cid:92) (cid:21)(cid:19)(cid:20)(cid:28) (cid:90)e conducted our first engagement and culture 
survey, followed by direct employee feedback sessions across all sites. 
As part of the recommendations and areas of focus, an Employee 
Experience position was formed to ensure consistent, aligned 
experiences of stakeholders across all Northern Star operations. 
Underpinned by our STARR Core Values, the culture program is 
focused on achieving a ‘One Team’ approach.

People Performance 

Northern Star’s expansion into North America has only strengthened 
our belief that our people, values and culture are at the heart of 
our success. The appointment of an Executive Manager – Capability 
(cid:9) (cid:38)ulture further re(cid:565)ected this commitment (cid:90)ithin the (cid:69)usiness 
and resulted in a number of key developments. This role allows a

employed 1,743 people across all sites. This includes an increase of 
6% in graduates and 68% in apprentices.

Mental Health & Wellness

FY19 saw the launch of Mindsight, our 
purpose designed mental health and 
wellness program. Mental health is one 
of the most significant issues impacting 
society and the communities in which 
we live. This has been highlighted by 
the impact of FIFO Work Practices 
Mental Health Inquiry undertaken by 
the Western Australian Government. 
At the core of Mindsight, Northern Star is setting a target for 20% of 
our workforce to be accredited in Mental Health First Aid by 2020 to 
provide critical support, understanding and referral to colleagues, 
families and community members. Three months into the launch of 
the program at 30 June 2019, we have trained 149 employees (8.5% 
of our workforce) with strong demand across all sites to participate 
in the training. Regular wellness tips, TelePsych assessments, our 
Employee Assistance Program and manager training form part of 
Mindsight. 

Leadership Development  
& Talent ID Program

Northern Star launched a pilot Talent ID program with 120 employees. 
Psychometric assessments incorporating personality, key drivers, 
critical reasoning, and other technical and experience factors were 
combined to generate personalised development plans – fast 
tracking career growth and enabling succession mapping. This has 
been enhanced through an additional 5 tier leadership development 
program inclusive of agile decision making, people management, 
strategic thinking, and project and resource management.

Sustainability

Our Sustainability Vision is core to our strategy 
and integrated across our business.

We consider good governance united with social and environmental 
responsibility to be a key enabler of sustainable growth, and by 
operating our business in this manner, we can optimise:

• Business growth and performance 

• Management of environmental impacts

• Identification of stakeholder shared value opportunities 

• Management of social impacts

In early 2019, we took the step of announcing our support for the 
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). The UN 
SDGs present a powerful platform for businesses to help overcome 
some of the most significant economic, social and environmental 
challenges faced in recent history. We will be reporting on our 
alignment and contribution to the UN SDGs in our forthcoming 
Sustainability Report covering calendar year 2019, to be released in 
early 2020.

our Australian assets, the Jundee and Kalgoorlie Operations; and our 
North American asset, the Pogo Operation located in Alaska, USA. 
Ownership of Pogo transferred to Northern Star on 28 September 
2018, however financial benefit from the operation was effective from 
1 July 2018. Our two development assets, the Tanami and Paulsens 
projects, continued with exploration activity throughout the year.

During FY19, our three producing assets combined to sell a record 
840,580koz at an AISC of A$1,296/oz, with our Australian assets 
achieving the top end of FY19 guidance with 639,243oz sold at an 
AISC of A$1,167/oz. Over the year, 6 million tonnes were milled at an 
average head grade of 4.7gpt Au for 813,133 ounces Au recovered. 
Unprocessed ore stocks available for mill feed at the end of FY19 
contained 84,857 ounces Au. Gold in circuit at the end of FY19 totalled 
21,753 ounces. These items are reflected in the accounts as ore 
stockpile and gold in circuit at cost, respectively.

Jundee Operations produced and sold record ounces under Northern 
Star ownership at 295,053oz and 299,236oz respectively. Production 
was primarily from underground ore sources and was supported 
by the commencement of open pit mining at Ramone in the June 
quarter. It was a standout year of performance at Jundee with no Lost 
Time Injuries (LTIs), record underground tonnes mined (2.1Mt), record 
stope tonnes mined (1.5Mt) and record tonnes milled (2.2Mt). 

Kalgoorlie Operations continued its strong performance with 
FY19 achieving record production at the top end of guidance with 
340,007oz sold at AISC of A$1,330oz. Production was delivered by 
the underground operations at Kanowna Belle, Kundana, EKJV and 
SKO; underpinned by outstanding infrastructure including processing 
capacity of 3.2Mtpa with two fully utilised process plants Kanowna 
Belle (2.0Mtpa) and Jubilee (1.2Mtpa).

Since acquisition, Pogo has been transitioning to the Northern Star 
business model and results in FY19 reflected strong operational gains 
at all levels. Key changes over this period included a new development 
fleet for introduction of jumbo bolt and meshing techniques, 
transition to longhole stoping (LHS) methodology and increased 
diamond drilling to 8 underground drills. The implementation of the 
Northern Star business model continues in FY20, with Pogo on track 
to further improve productivity metrics to demonstrate a +1Mtpa 
production rate.

Profit

For FY19, the Group reported a profit after tax of $154.7 million, a 
20% reduction from FY18 (FY18: $194.1 million). Profit after tax for 
the Australian operations was $174.7 million and Pogo operations 
reported a loss after tax of $20.0 million. Revenue increased 45% 
to $1,401 million primarily driven by the average realised gold price 
per ounce being 4% higher (FY19: $1,764; FY18: $1,704) and a 37% 
increase in gold sold (FY19: 781,013oz (excludes September 18 
quarter ounces for pogo); FY18: 570,110oz) driven by the acquisition 
of Pogo in September 2018. Cost of sales increased 77% to $1,101 
million (FY18: $624 million) driven primarily by the acquisition of Pogo 
operations and increased production at the Australian operations 
which achieved record production during 2019 with a 12% increase 
in gold sold (FY19: 639,243oz; FY18: 570,110oz). Higher non-cash 
depreciation and amortisation charges were incurred during 2019 
relating primarily to the finalisation of the purchase price allocation 
on the acquisition of Pogo operations and Kalgoorlie operations, 
which during 2019 included full year charges from South Kalgoorlie 
operations, which was acquired in April 2018. Finance charges were 
higher during 2019 (FY19: $11.6 million; FY18: $3.5 million) as the 
Company finalised a new credit facility.

Group EBITDA was $479.7 million for the year ended 30 June 
2019, which was an increase of 8% over the corresponding prior 
period. Finance costs increased by 234% (FY19: $11.6 million; FY18: 
$3.5 million) which was due to additional accretion charged on 
rehabilitation liabilities acquired from the Pogo acquisition and also 
additional finance charges on the Group’s financing facilities. An 
impairment charge of $9.9 million was recorded on exploration and 
evaluation assets (FY18: $11.8 million).

Balance Sheet

Current assets as at the 30 June 2019 decreased by 19% against the 
prior year balance date. The decrease was largely a result of cash 
and cash equivalents decreasing by $176.8 million following the 
completion of the Pogo acquisition, in addition the payment of $70.3 
million in dividends during the year.

Non-current assets increased by $531.2 million primarily from the 
acquisition of Pogo. A total of $40.3 million was added to exploration 
and evaluation assets through the Company’s continued investment 
in organic growth. Payments of $10.1 million for investments in 
associates and equity investments carried at fair value were made in 
the current period (FY18: $30.6 million).

Current liabilities increased by 9.2% as at 30 June 2019 principally 
due equipment replacement at Pogo operations, which have 
been financed and non-current liabilities increased $115.1 million 
principally due to the recognition of a $75.2 million closure liability at 
Pogo on acquisition.

During the year the Company Issued 26,119,402 shares at A$6.70 per 
share as part of Pogo acquisition.

Cash Flow

Cash flows from operating activities for the 12 months ended 30 
June 2019 was $379.2 million which is $26.1 million higher than the 
previous financial year driven principally by increased revenues from 
higher gold sold and gold price received for the year. This was offset 
by higher payments to suppliers and employees which now includes 
Pogo operations.

Cash flows from investing activities increased by 162% as a result of 
the $350.5 million Pogo acquisition in September 2018 (FY18: $17.5 
million on South Kalgoorlie and Western Tanami acquisitions). In 
addition, payments for exploration and evaluation increased by $41.8 
million (FY19: $87.2 million; FY18: $45.3 million), of which $18.8 million 
related to exploration at Pogo since acquisition and $20.0 million paid 
for an additional 15% interest in the Central Tanami Project.

Cash flows from financing activities included proceeds from issue of 
shares of $177.4 million relating predominantly to the capital raising 
associated with the Pogo acquisition (FY18: $4.6 million) and dividends 
totalling $70.3 million (FY18: $63.3 million) paid to Shareholders.

slowed during FY19 with the focus on the growth of new mineralised 
areas at Lyons South, Cardassian and Throssel trends. 

Exploration of the Zodiac discovery continued with a program of deep 
exploration wedge drill holes in the initial discovery area. Adjacent to 
Zodiac is a large mineralised corridor which will be the focus of future 
long-term exploration programs. Underground development to provide

Resources and 
Reserves

As at 30 June 2019, Northern Star’s Consolidated Group Mineral 
Resource Estimate (inclusive of Ore Reserves) was 156 million tonnes at 
4.1 grams per tonne gold for 20.8 million ounces (refer Table 4) and the 
Consolidated Group Ore Reserve Estimate is 38.2 million tonnes at 4.4 
grams per tonne gold for 5.4 million ounces (refer Table 5).

The substantial inventory growth stems from Northern Star’s exploration 
success at its Jundee and Kalgoorlie Operations and the acquisition of the 
Pogo Project and mining depletion of 915koz. 

Group Mineral Resources increased significantly by 4.9 million ounces 
gold from 15.9 million ounces gold as at 30 June 2018 to the current 20.8 
million ounces gold Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource.

Group Proved and Probable Ore Reserve increased by 1.4 million ounces 
gold from 4 million ounces gold as at 30 June 2018 to the current 5.4 
million ounces gold Proven and Probable Reserve at 30 June 2019.

Risk Management

Our vision is to continue to build a safe, quality mining and exploration 
company, focused on creating value for Shareholders. To achieve 
this, Northern Star maintains an ongoing commitment to enhancing 
how we identify, assess and mitigate our risks. The continuous review 
of our risks means that our Board receives the most up to date 
information about the business, enabling them to make strategic 
decisions regarding risks which affect the Company now, but also 
those which have potential to impact our success in the future. 

The following table is a summary of:

• the Company’s safety risk, assessed as being the highest inherent 

risk on the corporate risk register as well as the Company’s number 
one STARR Core Value; and

• the environmental risks1 and social risks2 to which the 

Company has a material exposure3, disclosed in accordance 
with Recommendation 7.4 in the ASX Corporate Governance 
Council Principles & Recommendations (4TH edition) (ASX 
Recommendations).

Directors’ Report

Board Skills Matrix

The Company’s Board is accountable to Shareholders for the operations, 
performance and growth of Northern Star. The composition of the Board 
is vital in discharging this duty. The Board’s composition is reviewed and 
assessed regularly by the Nomination Committee to ensure the Board 
is of a composition, size and with capacity to commit the time required 
to effectively discharge its responsibilities and duties. The Nomination 
Committee aims to ensure that an appropriate balance of skills, 
experience, expertise and diversity (of experience, thought, problem-
solving approaches, age, gender, nationality, cultural background and 
perspective informed by life experience) is represented on the Board. 
This may result in a Non-Executive Director with a longer tenure 
remaining in office to bring that experience and depth of understanding 
to matters brought before the Board, or a Non-Executive Director having 
limited ASX Board experience but a significant executive career to draw 
from.

The Board has devised a board skills matrix to measure hard skills that 
are considered relevant to the nature of the Company and industry 
in which it operates, and soft skills that are considered desirable for 
effective Directors. 

A skills gap analysis is undertaken in relation to the board skills matrix 
annually, to ensure that the skills included in the matrix, and the Board’s 
skills shown in the matrix results:

• meet the current needs of the Company’s operations;

• meet the evolving needs of the Company, as Company strategy is 
implemented and strategic emphasis or direction changes; and

• are appropriate to meet the changing environment and corporate 

landscape in which the Company operates.

To the extent a gap is identified in the Board’s skills, discussion follows on 
how and when to prioritise addressing the gap, and whether professional 
development initiatives can assist and or whether expanding the Board 
or Board renewal is the appropriate response. 

The review of the board skills matrix during the FY19 financial year:

• concluded that no change to the selection of skills used in the 

matrix was warranted; and 

• revealed an opportunity to strengthen the Board’s technical skillset 
base, and with a wider scope of international experience where 
possible. 

The Company’s business as underground mining specialists expanded 
into the US during the financial year, with the acquisition of the Pogo 
mine in Alaska on 28 September 2018. The Company ran an international 
recruitment process during the financial year with the assistance of a 
specialist external recruitment consultant, culminating in the Company 
appointing two additional Directors on 1 July 2019 who have proven 
executive careers and subject matter expertise in engineering and 
project management (Australia and various other geographic locations). 

In addition, to enhance shareholder confidence in the Company’s 
corporate governance practices, the two new Directors appointed were 
both independent, bringing the number of independent Non-Executive 
Directors to six, balanced against the single non-independent Executive 
Director in the role of Executive Chairman. Shareholders will be asked to 
re-elect the new Directors at the 2019 Annual General Meeting.

“The Nomination Committee 

aims to ensure that an 

appropriate balance of skills, 

experience, expertise and 

diversity (of experience, 

thought, problem-solving 

approaches, age, gender, 

nationality, cultural background 

and perspective informed by 

life experience) is represented 

on the Board.”

–  Hilary Macdonald 
  General Counsel & Company  
  Secretary   

Why Northern Star selected the skills in the Board 
Skills Matrix

The following table explains what skills are considered by the Board 
to be important for the role of Director at Northern Star and why they 
therefore appear in the board skills matrix. Each of the Directors’ profiles 
on page 32 and 33 brings out the prominent skills held by each Director, 
in the context of the board skills matrix results.

The Board has reviewed additional skills to add to the board skills matrix, 
such as tax risk management and compliance, and public policy and 
regulation, opting instead for the ability to bring in subject matter experts 
to advise the Board as needed. 

Each Director has self-assessed their skills and experience against 
the board skills matrix by giving a rating per skill of between 0 (for no 
applicable skills or experience) to 5 (expert skills and experience).

Expertise and commitment to sustainability

engagement.

(cid:41)inancial acumen, demonstrated (cid:69)(cid:92) a director(cid:519)s e(cid:91)perience in financial 
accounting and reporting, corporate finance and internal financial 
controls, provides the director (cid:90)ith the tools to interpret financial 
performance, discipline in costs control, and rigour in risk identification 
and mitigation, evidenced in (cid:49)orthern (cid:54)tar(cid:519)s financial results and gold 
price hedging practices.

Experience of a director related to workplace environmental compliance, 
and communit(cid:92) relations and government a(cid:909)airs, is integral to the 
critical evaluation of frameworks and processes designed to ensure that 
all regulatory obligations are met and Northern Star’s social licence to 
operate in the communities in which it operates, is earned and further 
developed.

Finance, Commerce & 
Accounting

ESG, Legal & Regula-
tory, Policy

A director’s previous executive experience in industrial relations and 
employee relations, including remuneration benchmarking and incentive 
structures, informs the Board in relation to strategies to counter the 
tightening labour market facing Northern Star, and provides a deeper level 
of understanding at Board level on the integration risks and successes 
following the acquisition of new projects.

HR & Workplace 
Relations

Experience of a director related to workplace health and safety reporting 
and measurement, the importance of tracking near misses, and 
awareness of environment measurement and risk within Northern Star’s 
operations, provides a more informed platform for the Board to critically 
appraise safety statistics, and health and environmental risks faced by 
Northern Star. 

HSE

A director’s awareness of the importance of digital technology to 
support Northern Star’s growth and drive competitive advantage in its 
underground and processing operations particularly, and knowledge 
and experience in use and governance of critical information technology, 
supports Northern Star’s drive for continuous improvement in exploration 
and production methods, safety performance and business systems. A 
director’s sound understanding of potential cyber risk exposure assists in 
prioritising risk mitigation steps and expenditure.

Experience in the delivery of large-scale capital projects and expertise 
in project governance and risk management informs the Board when 
Northern Star is contemplating long term investment projects or large-
scale capital investment.

Given Northern Star’s share register composition, a director’s experience 
with equity and debt funding strategies, an understanding of local and 
overseas capital and debt markets, and experience in capital and debt 
raising and management and investor relations is key to the Board 
developing Northern Star’s strategy, and investor communications. 

Technical skills

mining engineering or processing.

Northern Star is a global underground mining specialist; a director’s 
understanding and appreciation of mining engineering, design, method 
and risk is an essential component behind Northern Star’s operational and 
financial success(cid:30) so too is other su(cid:69)(cid:77)ect matter e(cid:91)pertise such as financial 
acumen and legal knowledge supporting tenure acquisition and risks 
raised during due diligence.

A director’s experience in gold price hedging, and foreign exchange risk 
management assists the (cid:49)orthern (cid:54)tar (cid:37)oard in financial management 
and risk mitigation strategies, particularly given Pogo gold sales are in 
USD.

Preparedness for a well-informed discussion, awareness of the pitfalls of 
groupthink and agility in risk assessment and decision making, are key 
skills required of all directors on the Northern Star Board.

Applying broad based risk management 
frameworks in various regulatory or business 
environment, identifying key risks to an 
organisation related to key areas of operations, 
monitoring risk and compliance.

(cid:48)aintaining e(cid:909)ective risk identification, management and internal 
control, and the understanding of specialist risks such as corporate tax 
requirements and tax risk management, are a cornerstone of Northern 
Star’s Audit and Risk Committee directors, particularly in the dual 
jurisdictions of Australia and Alaska in which operations are presently.

Strategy

Identifying and critically assessing strategic 
opportunities and threats to the organisation 
and, developing and implementing successful 
strategies in the context of an organisation’s 
policies and business objectives.

A director’s experience in developing and implementing successful 
strategy, and the ability to provide oversight of management for the 
delivery of strategic objectives, is a fundamental requirement of every 
Northern Star director, to add value to the Board.

Remuneration 
Report

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the Northern Star 
Resources Limited Remuneration Report for FY19.

Since the acquisition of the Paulsens mine in 2010, Northern Star has 
delivered sector leading results by acquiring and investing in Tier-1 
assets. To date this strategy has seen Northern Star deliver a total 
shareholder return (TSR) of 26,877% for its Shareholders.

and our proven integration and operating business model is currently 
being implemented at the Pogo operations in Alaska. This acquisition 
now puts the business in the enviable position of having three Tier-1 
assets in Tier-1 jurisdictions and has propelled Northern Star to 
become the second largest listed gold producer on the Australian 
Securities Exchange. Our primary focus is to deliver similar returns to 
our Shareholders over the coming years. Northern Star continues to 
operate (cid:69)(cid:92) the mantra of (cid:69)eing a (cid:69)usiness first and a mining compan(cid:92) 
second.

(cid:55)his strateg(cid:92) again in (cid:41)(cid:60)(cid:20)(cid:28) has delivered a further significant increase 
in value for its Shareholders through accretive organic and inorganic 
growth. Our strategy of balancing organic growth with well executed 
M&A has generated over A$7.2B of value for Shareholders since the 
first ac(cid:84)uisition in (cid:21)(cid:19)(cid:20)(cid:19), (cid:90)ith less than (cid:26)(cid:8) of this value uplift (cid:69)eing 
derived from equity issues. 

Performance Outcomes in FY19

In 2019, Northern Star continued to deliver strong results. Our 
people are responsible for driving and achieving these impressive 
results. The strong leadership and proven expertise of the Executive 
(cid:38)hairman and the (cid:38)hief (cid:40)(cid:91)ecutive (cid:50)(cid:605)cer in particular have (cid:69)een 
integral to sustained performance. The Company’s evolution since 
2010 via organic growth and disciplined, selective acquisitions 
has built a diverse range of teams with operational and specialist 
expertise. The Board recognises that to continue this extraordinarily 
successful growth trajectory and to achieve its strategic objectives, 
Northern Star must continue to attract, motivate, retain and reward 
exceptional people who have accountability for all decisions and the 
accompanying risk management challenges, and whose interests are 
aligned with our Shareholders. 

Maintained focus on our culture and our key areas of performance 
is re(cid:565)ected in our safet(cid:92) and financial results for (cid:41)(cid:60)(cid:20)(cid:28)(cid:17) (cid:60)our (cid:37)oard 
believes that the remuneration outcomes for FY19 recognise the 
performance for FY19.

Notwithstanding outstanding 
performance in many areas of the 
business, the total STI awarded to the 
KMP was 40% out of a total possible 70% 
for Company KPIs. Maximum individual KPI 
satisfaction (30%) was fully achieved. The Board did 
not exercise its discretion to vary the level of the FY19 
STI award (positive or negative) when considering overall 
Shareholder value generated over the performance period.

See pages 54 and 55 of this Report for further details of the STI 
performance targets and performance outcome.

This strategy has been achieved through operational excellence, 
investing heavily into exploration, growing production, optimising 
assets, developing an e(cid:91)ceptional management team and financial 
discipline. 

The Northern Star business is driven by its STARR Core Values. Safety, 
Teamwork, Accountability, Respect and Results. Safety is central to 
our culture, and commitment to continual safety improvement is at 
the core of Northern Star. This importance is not lost on us and in 
CY18 saw a 75% reduction in the total recordable injury frequency 
rate (cid:11)(cid:55)(cid:53)I(cid:41)(cid:53)(cid:12) to (cid:22)(cid:17)(cid:26), this figure sitting (cid:25)(cid:21)(cid:8) (cid:69)elo(cid:90) the sector average 
of 9.6, with further reduction to 3.3 during the 6-month period to 30 
June 2019. 

The focus on Northern Star’s culture and the way we operate is 
essential to the successful organic growth and integration of new 
projects and people. All employees are made aware that our STARR 
Core Values must form the basis of all behaviours and actions.

improvement year on year resulting in injury frequency rates at

19.04% to 22.2%. (This excludes the underground workforce, which 
missed the FY19 target of 10% with NSMS female participation at 
9.5% as a result of NSMS replacing the incumbent underground 
contractors at South Kalgoorlie and Pogo operations). This is above 
the industry average of 16%1.

The FY19 STI target for Production was only partially achieved, as 
despite the Australian operations achieving the top end of production 
guidance, Pogo fell short due to delays in the delivery of new plant 
and e(cid:84)uipment (cid:11)part of our significant capital investment since 
acquiring control on 28 September 2018), and the implementation of 
new mining methods.

completed within one month, on 28 September 2018. The due 
diligence process identified compelling operational advantages 
involving an immediate change to the mining method in order to 
increase gold production and reduce costs(cid:17) (cid:42)iven the significant

improvement in productivities, production and costs are expected 
to further improve during FY20 and FY21. 

Long Term Incentives

No LTI grant was made in FY19.

FY20 Remuneration decisions

The Northern Star Board recognises that the remuneration 
framework is key to promoting engagement and accountability, 
and encouraging and rewarding appropriate behaviours, in 
line with our STARR Core Values. To ensure that the framework 
continues to support the achievement of our strategy, the 
Board undertook a comprehensive Company-wide review of the 
framework during 2019, taking the following into account:

• (cid:40)(cid:91)ecutive (cid:46)(cid:48)(cid:51) (cid:11)and other senior e(cid:91)ecutive(cid:12) fi(cid:91)ed and varia(cid:69)le 

remuneration has not changed since (cid:21)(cid:19)(cid:20)(cid:25)(cid:30)

• (cid:55)here has (cid:69)een significant organic and inorganic gro(cid:90)th in the 
Company’s operations and a large increase in size and scale of 
the business, expanding the KMP and senior leadership team’s 
responsi(cid:69)ilities and risk management (cid:69)ase(cid:30) 

• Acquiring Pogo has also deepened the complexity of the 
Company’s business. It has added State of Alaska and US 
(cid:41)ederal corporate, financial, safet(cid:92) and environmental 
compliance and disclosure o(cid:69)ligations(cid:30) a significant increase in 
e(cid:91)ploration scale and potential(cid:30) people and culture integration, 
and operationally, fundamentally improving mining methods 
and other disciplines in the mine, in order to realise Pogo’s 
potential on a sustaina(cid:69)le (cid:69)asis(cid:30) and

• The current LTI performance period ends on 16 October 
2019 and as a result, a fresh LTI plan is warranted. The 
Remuneration Committee is appreciative of the feedback 
received from (cid:54)hareholders (cid:90)hich (cid:90)ill (cid:69)e re(cid:565)ected in a ne(cid:90) 

plan to be put to Shareholders for approval at the Annual 
(cid:42)eneral (cid:48)eeting in (cid:49)ovem(cid:69)er (cid:21)(cid:19)(cid:20)(cid:28)(cid:17) (cid:55)his report e(cid:91)plains 
the new remuneration framework and the rationale for the 
increase in fi(cid:91)ed and varia(cid:69)le remuneration for the (cid:40)(cid:91)ecutive 
KMP from 1 July 2019. The fact that KMP renumeration has 
not changed since 2016 and that during that time the size and 
complexity of the business has materially increased, has meant 
that significant changes are re(cid:84)uired to (cid:46)(cid:48)(cid:51) remuneration 
to ensure our remuneration policy objectives are met, as 
detailed in this Report. Benchmarking and structuring advice 
from external remuneration advisers indicated that the 
senior leadership team including the KMP remuneration at 
maximum performance for FY19 was well below the Company’s 
target of 75th percentile when performance meets stretch 
targets. When developing the changes to the Executive KMP 
remuneration framework, the Remuneration Committee has 
taken into account market (cid:69)enchmark data, significant e(cid:91)ternal 
labour demand pressure, the poaching risk and competition 
for our e(cid:91)ceptional people, and the (cid:38)ompan(cid:92)(cid:519)s financial 
strength and success delivered by employees to date.

I would like to thank Shirley In’t Veld who chaired the 
Remuneration Committee during FY193 and was integral to the 
review process.

Yours faithfully

Executive KMP Remuneration Policy and 
relationship with performance

Executive KMP Remuneration Policy

Our Remuneration Policy is designed to support our Vision – to 
continue to build a safe quality mining and exploration company 
focused on creating value for Shareholders, and our Mission – to 
generate accretive earnings value for our Shareholders through 
operational effectiveness, growth opportunities and exploration with 
a prime focus on success and meeting Shareholder expectations. Our 
strategy is clear: to develop a responsible Company that is attractive 
to global investors. Our Executive KMP Remuneration Policy and 
practices underpin our business strategy, which includes: 

1.  Sustaining critical mass – maintaining gold production from three 

Tier-1 mining operations.

2.  Maintaining a geographically diversified asset base through our 

portfolio of Tier-1 operating mines.

3.  Ensuring our assets have significant mine lives.

4.  Maintaining low cost operations – constantly driving efficiencies 
and productivity to achieve the lowest possible all-in sustaining 
costs.

5.  Upholding strong financial disciplines – continuing to deliver 

superior results and maintaining our track record of paying fully-
franked dividends to Shareholders.

Implementing our strategy

Imperative for the implementation of Northern Star’s business 
strategy is:

• The quality of our workforce.

• The delivery of sustainable operations – we are highly focused on 
safety and committed to strong environmental management and 
social responsibility.

• Investing in exploration to maximise the value of our existing 
assets by examining known in-mine, near-mine and regional 
targets.

• Using management experience to make well-informed decisions 
and implement our initiatives in a timely and prudent manner.

“Our	strategy	is	clear:	 

to	develop	a	responsible	 

Company	that	is	attractive	 

to	global	investors.”

TABLE 14 REMUNERATION MIX FOR EXECUTIVE KMP IN FY19

TABLE 13 EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION POLICY OBJECTIVES & PRACTICES ALIGNED TO THEM

REMUNERATION POLICY OBJECTIVE

PRACTICES ALIGNED WITH REMUNERATION POLICY OBJECTIVE

Retain an experienced, cohesive, proven 
high performance multi-disciplinary 
team to deliver the Company’s strategic 
objectives

•  Provide remuneration that is internally fair.
•  Ensure remuneration is competitive with the external gold industry market.
•  Provide total remuneration opportunities sufficient to attract and retain proven and experienced 

Executive KMP who are at risk of becoming global company poaching targets.

Align Executive KMP interests with 
Shareholders

•  A significant proportion of remuneration is performance-based and delivered in shares, aligning Executive 

KMP reward with increased value for Shareholders.

•  The LTI plan uses performance metrics measured against stretch targets that reward for longer term 

value, consistent with our business strategy. 

Focus on safety

•  Safety performance metrics, covering employee and contractors, in order to measure performance over 

different time horizons for sound risk management and to ensure outcomes cannot be gamed for a short-
term result that may not have regard for the longer term.

Focus on sustained costs and production 
performance

•  STI including:

 – Challenging annual production targets;
 – Deliver on competitive production costs. 

Focus on our people and create a desirable 
Company culture

•  Provide incentives that promote a healthy culture to attract and retain a diverse and inclusive workforce in 

line with the STARR Core Values.

•  Encourage engagement with and the development and retention of its people to ensure a sustainable 

supply of diverse talent.

Focus on social licence

•  STI includes reward for zero harm to the environment, community relations and improving gender 

diversity throughout the organisation.

FIXED REMUNERATION (TFR)

SHORT TERM INCENTIVES (STI)

LONG TERM INCENTIVES (LTI)

To provide a base level of remuneration 
which is both appropriate for the 
responsibility of the position and 
competitive in the market for the 
individual’s experience and value to the 
Company.

To provide an annual, market competitive 
cash incentive to reward high performing, 
engaged Executive KMP incorporating 
performance metrics aligned with the 
creation of Shareholder wealth. This is 
to ensure executives have their eye on 
the ball for the Company’s near-term 
deliverables. 

To focus Executive KMP on drivers 
of Shareholder value over a three-
year period from the single grant of 
performance rights in FY17, to retain 
executive KMP and motivate with market 
competitive incentives to pursue the long-
term growth and success in line with the 
Company’s strategy, vision and mission. 

Fixed remuneration is set at a level that 
takes into account the role responsibilities 
and individual capabilities, benchmarked 
against market data for comparable roles 
in a similar industry sector and with a 
similar market capitalisation.

STI opportunity is based on a % of TREM10 
having regard to market practice for roles 
and service period at the time of award, 
with a range of percentages. 
The Remuneration Committee is 
responsible for assessing performance 
against KPIs and determining the STI to be 
awarded.

LTIs promote alignment with long term 
Company performance over three years 
using performance metrics aligned with 
Shareholder returns. 
The Remuneration Committee is 
responsible for assessing performance 
against these metrics and determining the 
LTI to be awarded. 

Purpose

Northern 
Star 
approach

Annual performance review conducted by 
the CEO and/or Remuneration Committee 
and periodic remuneration reviews are 
conducted as appropriate, benchmarked 
against market data for comparable roles 
in a similar industry sector and with similar 
market capitalisation.

Executive KMP remuneration for FY19

Assessment

The mix and level of fixed and variable performance-based remuneration for the Executive KMP is set with the objective of:

• attracting and retaining high performing employees; and

• driving superior performance and achievement of the Company’s strategic objectives. 

The remuneration mix is weighted towards variable remuneration awarded in equity, to motivate, focus and reward for achievement of strategic 
objectives and to ensure alignment with Shareholders.

An additional cash bonus was paid during the year to recognise the significant additional work undertaken and the successful completion of the 
Pogo acquisition. Further details about the Pogo Acquisition and Completion Bonus are provided on page 56.

Pages 58 - 63 of this Report gives details of the review of Executive KMP remuneration in FY20 conducted by the Remuneration Committee to date, 
to ensure the remuneration framework continues to meet its objectives.

Fixed remuneration comprises cash salary 
and direct costs of providing employee 
benefits, including superannuation, office 
car parking, private health insurance11, 
salary continuance insurance12, deemed 
premiums paid for D&O Insurance and 
FBT.

Delivery

Balanced scorecard using a combination 
of Company (financial and non-financial) 
and individual performance measures:
•  Safety – TRIFR (15%)
•  Financial – NPAT (10%)
•  Financial – production Koz (25%)
•  Financial – production costs AISC/oz (10%)
•  Social licence – environment and social 

outcomes; gender diversity (10%)

•  Personal objectives (30%)
Threshold, target and in some cases, 
maximum (stretch) targets are set for 
each performance measure to drive 
desired business and individual outcomes. 
The annual budget generally forms the 
basis for target performance. Individual 
performance measures for the Executive 
KMP are personal stretch targets 
applicable to their role, and are set to 
reflect business priorities. The relative 
weightings of each performance measure 
also depend on the Company’s strategic 
goals.
Performance period – one year.

100% of STI outcomes paid in cash after 
the end of the financial year.
Board retains discretion over award 
and forfeiture of STIs for Executive KMP 
and other employees, including upon 
termination of employment. Discretion is 
only exercised by the Board in exceptional 
circumstances, in which case the use 
of discretion and the impact is clearly 
disclosed in the Company’s relevant 
remuneration report.

Vesting is subject to meeting Total 
Shareholder Return measures (against 
an industry specific peer group) and long-
term safety performance:
•  Financial – Absolute TSR (60%)
•  Financial – Relative TSR (20%)
•  Safety – LTIFR (20%)
The performance measures have been 
set to align with the long-term goals 
and performance of Northern Star. The 
majority of the LTI is aimed at generating 
strong Shareholder returns. Safety is the 
other performance measure for LTI, as this 
is the Company’s number one STARR Core 
Value. A Safety performance measure is 
included for both the LTI and STI to ensure 
that the Executive Chairman’s variable 
remuneration included a Safety-related 
performance component (as the Executive 
Chairman was not eligible to receive an 
STI). 
Performance period – three years.

Awards of performance rights. 
Each performance right when vested 
is convertible into one fully paid Share. 
Shares resulting from vested performance 
rights which are exercised are:
•  50% unrestricted;
•  25% subject to 1-year holding lock;
•  25% subject to 2-year holding lock.
Performance rights do not entitle the 
holder to receive dividends. 
Board retains discretion to waive forfeiture 
upon termination of employment, in 
appropriate circumstances. Discretion is 
only exercised by the Board in exceptional 
circumstances, in which case the use 
of discretion and the impact is clearly 
disclosed in the Company’s relevant 
remuneration report.

TFR is Total Fixed Remuneration earned during the relevant financial year. TFR comprises gross base salary, superannuation capped at $30,000, 
and includes non-monetary benefits provided by the Company, such as office car parking bay, the deemed premiums for Directors and Officers 
Indemnity insurance, private health insurance, salary continuance insurance, and the applicable fringe benefits tax paid on these non-monetary 
benefits. 

STI is Short Term Incentive awards paid in cash during the relevant financial year. The STI paid in FY19 was the FY18 STI award (paid in August 
2018). The STI paid in FY18 was the FY17 STI award (paid in August 2017). The Executive Chairman is ineligible for STI awards.

LTI is the face value at grant date of the Long Term Incentive awards that vested during the relevant financial year. The LTI performance shares 
that vested in FY19 were the FY16 LTI performance shares issued on 9 July 2015, measured on 30 June 2018 (which vested on 20 July 2018). The 
LTI performance shares that vested in FY18 were the FY15 LTI performance shares issued on 9 October 2014, measured on 30 June 2017 (which 
vested on 23 August 2017). 

Pogo Bonus is the Pogo Acquisition & Completion Bonus, being a one-off discretionary cash bonus awarded to employees that were critical to the 
Company securing the Pogo operations, which included the Executive KMP, to reflect the significant workload, commitment and acumen involved in 
the assessment, negotiation and completion of the acquisition.  

Performance shares price growth is the increase in value over the three year performance period for the FY16 LTI performance shares (which 
vested during FY19) and for the FY15 performance shares (which vested during FY18), calculated as the difference between the face value at the 
grant date and the face value at the vesting date, using a 5-day VWAP – to demonstrate the alignment of the LTIs with the growth in Shareholder 
wealth.

Delivered on strategy actions with post completion Pogo integration and whole of business improvements made; significant 
additional responsibilities with an additional 350 personnel at Pogo and contractors, overseeing change in mining methods, 
geological, financial, safety and legal familiarisation and improvements in Pogo post completion. 
Increased the level of assessment in the business in relation to culture and capability with the hire of an executive manager to drive 
gap analysis and improvements in people performance, attraction and retention with commensurate benefits in safety, personnel 
retention and results. Monthly site visits to Pogo did not compromise outstanding achievements in oversight for the Kalgoorlie and 
Jundee operations in terms of productivity and capability, and safety achievements across the business.

Successful post completion integration of Pogo; business improvements made simultaneously at Pogo post completion; managing 
the skillset analysis and training needs of incumbent Pogo personnel and sourcing experienced trainers to boost Pogo capability 
for increased productivity, automation training, and replacing the incumbent underground mining services contractor at Pogo, 
changes to technical business model at Pogo, involving monthly site visits to Pogo which did not impact on level of support and site 
presence at the Kalgoorlie and Jundee operations.

Focused efforts on post completion Pogo integration with a rapid conversion of Pogo Resources and Reserves to JORC 2012 
standard within a short timeframe in order to enhance the understanding of the Pogo potential and growth opportunities. 
Established growth drilling programmes at Pogo; implementation of geological control standards at Pogo and significantly 
improving geological practices and disciplines at Pogo, whilst overseeing Kalgoorlie and Jundee growth. 

Assumed CFO role seamlessly, with post completion work at Pogo not derogating from the quality of the Finance team’s support 
of the Group’s Kalgoorlie and Jundee operations. Post completion Pogo achievements beyond business as usual duties included 
replacement of existing business systems at Pogo with a superior product; establishing new banking relationships and significant 
equipment lease arrangements in the US. Improving standards of oversight and governance over employee pension plan savings 
of US$52M; achieving significant savings following a strategic review of material procurement contracts and negotiations with key 
Pogo suppliers. Improving costs control as a result of recruiting to increase the subject matter expert capabilities within the Finance 
team particularly in relation to internal tax advisory capability.

Performance over and above ordinary duties included delivery of the dual role, with improved Board governance support and 
proxy adviser engagement, and post completion Pogo transaction integration. This involved upskilling in US State and Federal 
safety, corporations and employment legislation, tenure management in Alaska; working with the Pogo safety, HR, geological, 
procurement, environmental departments and suppliers in transitioning Pogo to Northern Star’s policies and procedures to reflect 
US State and Federal law and customary practices. Settlement of Pogo vendors’ legacy litigation matters on appropriate terms 
within 6 months of acquiring Pogo, involving site visits to Pogo and numerous meetings in the US with the Pogo vendors’ multiple 
law firms for a seamless handover of all legal matters. This enhanced the business’ understanding of its legal responsibilities in the 
US without compromising the quality and timing of business as usual legal advisory work to the Jundee and Kalgoorlie operations.

Remuneration Report

Short Term Incentives paid in FY19

Following the acquisition of Pogo, during FY19, the Remuneration 
Committee adjusted the FY19 STI framework to reflect the expanded 
operations and ensure that the revised targets were no less 
challenging than those which were originally set. 

CHART 11 FINAL STI OUTCOMES FOR FY19 (PAID IN AUGUST 2019)17

The preceding table details the extraordinary tasks and achievements 
of the Executive KMP in the period following completion of the Pogo 
acquisition, from 28 September 2018 to 30 June 2019, which were 
over and above the ordinary duties of the Executive KMP in relation to 
the business.

STI Amount ($)

On 30 August 2018 Northern Star announced its intention to 
acquire the high-grade 4.1Moz Pogo underground gold mine in 
Alaska for US$260.3M (A$360.4M). It was further announced that 
completion of the transaction was to occur within a month of the 
acquisition announcement. This would allow the mine operations 
to be substantially overhauled, mine plans developed, exploration 
to increase as soon as possible, and conversion of non-JORC Code 
resources and reserves to JORC 2012 Mineral Resources and Ore 
Reserves, to allow improvements in production and gold sales, and 
transparency in reporting on progress at Pogo, for the benefit of 
Shareholders, as quickly as possible.

Our people who faced significant challenges including operational, 
legal, compliance, cultural and people flexibility challenges, 
managed to have the transaction completed within the timeframe 
foreshadowed to the market, on 28 September 2018. This was a 
phenomenal achievement, as it was a highly ambitious target by any 
company’s standards. 

Our track record in having a short timeline between execution of sale 
agreement and completion of the deal, was a point of advantage in 
the vendor’s selection of Northern Star as the successful buyer over 
a large field of competition bidding for the Pogo mine. The expedited 
process allowed Northern Star to secure the purchase of the asset for 
its Shareholders.

In recognition of the significant value delivered to Shareholders in 
the accelerated execution of the transaction, the Board decided to 
award those involved a cash bonus. It is also worth noting that the 
transaction generated A$711M in value on the day of announcement 
for Shareholders. The total Pogo Acquisition & Completion Bonus 
paid to employees heavily involved in the assessment, negotiation 
and completion of the Pogo acquisition was A$656,408 or 0.1% of the 
uplift on the first day of trading post-announcement. Bonuses paid to 
KMP and the total of bonuses paid to other employees is indicated in

Long Term Incentives – LTI performance rights

LTI – FY19

No long term incentives were granted in FY19. The most recent grant 
was in FY17.

LTI granted in FY17
A single tranche of performance rights21 was granted to each of the 
Executive KMP (and other senior management) under the Company’s 
FY17 Long Term Incentive Plan during FY17, which remain subject 
to vesting upon satisfaction of performance hurdles over a three-
year performance period. The performance period for the safety 
performance hurdle ended on 30 June 2019 and has been satisfied. 
The performance hurdles for Absolute and Relative TSR will be 
assessed on 16 October 2019. An ASX release will communicate 
the outcome to Shareholders, in a transparent manner, for their 
information. 

Vesting of the LTIs will occur subject to achievement of the 
performance hurdles set out in the following table. Upon vesting 
the employee may give the Company an exercise notice and the 
corresponding number of Shares will be issued to the employee. No 
additional service condition applies after vesting. 

After vesting and following delivery of an exercise notice by the 
employee to the Company no later than 21 December 2022:

• 50% of the resulting Shares will have no disposal restrictions;

• 25% of the resulting Shares will be restricted from disposal for 12 

months; and 

• 25% of the resulting Shares will be restricted from disposal for 24 

months.

Remuneration Report

FY20 remuneration framework –  
key changes from FY19

Your Board acknowledges that the remuneration framework is key to 
promoting engagement, retention, accountability, encouraging and 
rewarding appropriate behaviours, and discouraging inappropriate 
behaviours, in line with our STARR Core Values. 

To ensure that Northern Star’s remuneration framework continues 
to support the achievement of Northern Star’s strategy, the Board 
undertook a comprehensive review in 2019, taking into account:

• Executive KMP (and other senior management) fixed and variable 

remuneration has not changed since 2016; 

• The Company’s financial and non-financial performance and 

growth in the scale of its operations to include Pogo in Alaska. 

• The added complexity of now operating in multiple jurisdictions, 

and the associated challenges, for example in travel time, 
significant time commitments on site for all of the KMP and 
senior leadership team during the post completion integration 
phase which is ongoing; corporate and tax compliance, safety and 
employment statutory regimes and practices, and the regulatory 
framework in which we now operate;

• Our high performing employees are operating in an increasingly 
tight and competitive labour market for their proven skills; and 

• The upcoming expiry of the 2016 AGM approval under the 

ASX Listing Rules for the existing LTI plan, and the need for an 
appropriate replacement incentive plan to incentivise, motivate 
and retain Executive KMP (and other senior management 
employees). 

The FY20 Incentive Plan will be put to Shareholders for approval 
together with the proposed grants of incentives to the Executive 
Chairman at the Annual General Meeting to be held in November 
2019. No incentives will be granted under the FY20 Incentive Plan until 
after the Annual General Meeting.

“Northern	Star’s	

remuneration	framework	

continues	to	support	the	

achievement	of	Northern	

Star’s	strategy....”

–		Nick	Cernotta
  Non-Executive Director and  
  Chairperson Remuneration  
  Committee 

The structure of the FY20 Incentive Plan and framework was designed 
to reflect the Company’s long-term strategy and the human capital 
needs of the business to deliver strategy. This is imperative to retain 
and incentivise the Company’s high-performance team and to drive 
the link between the Executive KMP remuneration, the Company’s 
performance and delivery of long term Shareholder value. 

This section of the Report explains the FY20 remuneration framework 
and the rationale for the changes made to the FY19 remuneration 
framework. The Board have received guidance and relevant industry 
benchmarking and structuring advice from external remuneration 
advisers (detailed on page 65 of this Report), to ensure that Executive 
KMP and other senior executives are appropriately motivated and 
aligned to Shareholders’ interests.

Minimum shareholding condition

All employees are encouraged to become Shareholders in the 
Company, on the basis that movement in share price over time 
directly aligns with returns to Shareholders.

The Company has implemented a minimum holding policy, requiring 
the Executive KMP and other senior leaders to establish within 3 years 
from a date to be set by the Remuneration Committee, and thereafter 
maintain, a minimum level of security ownership as follows:

• Executive Chairman and CEO – equal to 100% of Fixed 

Remuneration; and

• COO, CFO, CGO, GC & Co Sec and CDO – equal to 50% of Fixed 

Remuneration,

which condition may be extended to other permanent employees of 
the Company by decision of the Remuneration Committee. 

Shares (whether acquired on or off market or through incentive plans 
from time to time) and vested incentives all count towards establishing 
the minimum holding. Increases in base salary will result in an 
increase in the minimum holding, and fluctuations in the Northern 
Star share price are taken into account with six monthly monitoring 
and adjustment of the minimum holding (in both cases re-setting the 
three year period for the adjusted component). The Chairman of the 
Remuneration Committee has discretion to temporarily exempt an 
employee from compliance with the minimum holding condition in 
exceptional hardship circumstances such as where a court order must 
be complied with, and, the Securities Trading Policy and the insider 
trading regime of the Corporations Act prevail over the minimum 
holding condition. The minimum holding condition will apply following 
the grant of incentives under the FY20 Incentive Plan to be put to 
Shareholders at the 2019 Annual General Meeting.

over 50% of the issued capital of the Company, vesting 
is automatic on a pro-rata basis according to the 
balance of the performance period remaining, with 
Board retaining absolute discretion to increase to 100% 
vesting

by the Board in exceptional 
circumstances, in which case

Remuneration Report

FY20 Executive KMP fixed and variable KMP remuneration changes

Review and changes to Executive KMP fixed and 
variable remuneration

The Board has conducted a thorough salary review across the 
business and recommends adjusting select salaries to remain market 
competitive and protect retention of key leaders whilst delivering on 
business objectives and the added complexity. The increase in the 
proportion of performance-based variable remuneration from FY20 
means the majority of Executive KMP remuneration will be at risk, with 
the greater proportion based on LTI, with a view to better incentivising 
the achievement of the Company’s long term objectives.

The table below is voluntary and has been included in this Report to 
improve clarity and transparency around how Northern Star rewards 
Executive KMP to the extent that a final position has been reached. 
This table has not been prepared in accordance with statutory 
obligations or Australian Accounting Standards. 

The rationale for change is centred on remaining market competitive, 
and critically, retaining the high-performance management team 
to deliver the Company strategic objectives for the benefit of 
Shareholders. Northern Star benchmarks its remuneration against 
ASX listed resource companies, the ASX50-100 companies and 
internationally listed companies in the gold sector.

The raise in remuneration levels closer to at least the 75th percentile 
of market has followed considerable consultation with regard being 
given to relevant industry benchmarking and remuneration structural 
advice from external remuneration advisers, taking into account 
the increased scale and complexity in the Company’s operations 
now including Pogo. The Board believes these changes in FY20 will 
appropriately motivate the Executive KMP, assist to mitigate the risk 
of key personnel being poached by competitors and additionally 
improves their alignment to Shareholders’ interests.

Non-Executive Directors’  
Remuneration

The Board’s objective is to set aggregate 
remuneration at a level which provides 
the Company with the ability to attract 
and retain Directors of the highest calibre, 
whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable 
to Shareholders. All NEDs enter into a 
service agreement with the Company in 
the form of a letter of appointment which 
summarises the Board policies and terms, 
including remuneration, relevant to the 
office of Director. NEDs receive a Board 
fee and fees for chairing or participating 
on Board Committees detailed in the table 
below. They do not receive performance-
based pay or retirement allowances. The 
fees are inclusive of superannuation. The 
Executive Chairman does not receive Board 
or Committee fees.

Non-Executive Directors’ fees are paid 
within an aggregate remuneration limit of 
$1,250,000 (inclusive of superannuation) 
per annum (approved at the Annual General 
Meeting on 12 November 2014). 

A review of Non-Executive Director 
remuneration was undertaken in July 2019, 
in light of there being no increases to 
Company NED fees since April 2017, the 
substantial increase in the Company’s size 
and complexity and taking into account 
comparable companies with similar market 
capitalisation as at 30 June 2019. There is 
no change to the base cash fee of $125,000 
per annum. A further $50,000 per annum 
per Director will be paid in equity, subject to 
Shareholder approval in November 2019. 
The Minimum Holding Condition Policy 
will apply to the Non-Executive Directors 
requiring them each to retain a minimum 
holding equating to one year of base fees, 
and allowing three years to satisfy the Policy. 

The Remuneration Committee considered 
that Non-Executive Directors should be 
remunerated in line with the Company’s 
remuneration framework which targets 
payment to employees in the 50-75th 
percentile of relevant peers based on third 
party-provided comparative market data for 
the ASX50-100.

The Board makes its decisions after it considers the issues and the 
advice from the Remuneration Committee and consultants.

During FY19, PwC were engaged to review the Company’s executive 
remuneration framework and to assist with the implementation of the 
changes to the Executive KMP remuneration framework outlined in 
this report. The advice from PwC included:

• benchmarking data for Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer 

and other Executive remuneration;

• information and insights with respect to market practices 

and trends in remuneration within ASX listed and global gold 
companies, and

• benchmarking data for NED remuneration.

Their analysis was considered by the Remuneration Committee in 
forming their views on benchmarking matters 

In addition, PwC delivered a remuneration recommendation in 
accordance with Division 1, Part 1.2, 9B (1) of the Corporations Act 
2001 (Cth). The fee for the remuneration recommendation delivered 
by PwC was $25,000 (excluding GST). The fee for the additional work 
conducted by PwC was $145,913 (excluding GST).

The engagement of PwC was initiated by the Remuneration 
Committee, based on the protocols governing the engagement and 
processes. 

The Board was satisfied that remuneration recommendations 
received were free from any undue influence by Key Management 
Personnel to whom the advice may relate, because strict protocols 
were observed and complied with regarding any interaction between 
PwC and management, and because all remuneration advice was 
provided to the Remuneration Committee Chair.

Other Statutory Disclosures

The Remuneration Committee comprises three independent Non-
Executive Directors, namely Nick Cernotta (Chairman), John Fitzgerald 
(Lead Independent Director) and Chris Rowe. The CEO and others are 
invited to attend all or part of the Committee meetings as required 
but have no vote on matters before the Committee.

The Committee meets several times a year to review and makes 
recommendations to the Board in accordance with the Remuneration 
Committee Charter to ensure that KMP remuneration remains 
aligned to business needs and performance. A copy of the Charter is 
available under the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s 
website available at www.nsrltd.com. The Committee is responsible for 
robust governance of the interconnection between performance and 
remuneration, with particular focus on:

• the Company’s remuneration policy and framework (including 

determining short term incentives (STIs) key performance 
indicators and long-term incentives (LTIs) performance hurdles, 
and vesting of STIs/LTIs);

• senior executives’ remuneration and incentives (including KMP and 

other senior management);

• Non-Executive Director individual remuneration, and the aggregate 

pool for approval by Shareholders (as required); 

• superannuation arrangements; and

• overseeing remuneration by gender. 

The Board and the Remuneration Committee use remuneration 
consultants’ advice and recommendations from time to time. The 
Remuneration Committee observes the following protocols:

• remuneration consultants are engaged by and report directly to 

the Remuneration Committee;

• the Committee must, in deciding whether to approve the 

engagement, have regard to any potential conflicts of interest 
including factors that may influence independence such as 
previous and future work performed by the adviser. and any 
relationships that exist between any executive KMP and the 
consultant;

• communication between the remuneration consultants and 

Executive KMP is restricted to minimise the risk of undue influence 
on the remuneration consultant;

Allocation methodology for grant of LTI performance rights in FY17

The quantum of LTI Performance Rights which were granted to the Executive KMP in FY17 was determined according to the fair value of Shares 
on the grant date divided by a portion of their respective TREM48. The maximum possible total value of the performance rights is the assessed fair 
value at the respective grant dates of the performance rights (Executive Chairman: $1.548, other Executive KMP: $1.151) multiplied by the number 
of performance rights granted, under guidance from external remuneration advisors.

The fair value of performance shares at grant date was independently determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model (market based vesting 
conditions) and a Black Scholes Model (non-market vesting conditions) that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the performance 
share, the impact of dilution (where material), the Share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying Share, the expected 
dividend yield, the risk free rate for the term of the performance share and the correlations and volatilities of the peer group companies.

The model inputs for the FY17 performance rights included:

Other transactions with KMP and comment 
on previous disclosures of “Related Party” 
transactions with Bill Beament

The Company has in place policies and procedures which govern 
transactions involving KMPs and their related parties, and these 
policies and procedures restrict the involvement of the KMP or 
related party in the negotiation, awarding or direct management 
of the resultant contract. In the Company’s 2017 Annual Report, 
specifically Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the 
Company reported that the beneficial minority interest of 23% held 
by Mr Beament in AUD Pty Ltd, the sole Shareholder of Australian 
Underground Drilling Pty Ltd (AUD), being a supplier of goods 
and services to the Company, did not require reporting under the 
Accounting Standards. For the purposes of the 2019 Annual Report, 
the Company is of the same view, having applied the necessary criteria 
under the Australian Accounting Standards for FY19. 

The Company’s policies and procedures continue to apply to ensure 
that Mr Beament is not involved in the negotiation, awarding of 
contracts or direct management of the contract with AUD. Mr 
Beament’s continued Shareholding in AUD also remains the subject 
of regular review by the independent Directors. They recognise 
that, notwithstanding the position under the Australian Accounting 
Standards, good corporate governance would normally be exhibited 
by the absence of a key executive holding a 23% interest in a drilling 
contract with a material supplier to the Company. 

AUD is a material supplier due to the aggregate total of fees paid, the 
nature of the services provided to the Company by the supplier, and 
the place the supplier has in the Company’s risk mitigation strategy, 
in seeking to maintain diversity amongst its suppliers where it is 
commercially feasible to do so, to ensure that there is no reliance by 
the Company on one supplier for a particular service across all the 
Company’s operations. 

The Independent Directors’ unanimous view remains that the 
continuing contractual relationship between the Company and AUD 
is more beneficial to the Company than terminating the contract 
would be. The results of the multiple party tender process conducted 
in FY18 demonstrated that there was no comparable supplier with 
the capacity at the time of tender to provide the services to the 
Company’s Kalgoorlie Operations for the same quality, productivity 
rates and price offered by AUD. Further, the selection of AUD was 
and remains consistent with the Company-wide risk mitigation 
strategy in striving for diversity in its supply chain, having regard to 
the other suppliers providing underground diamond drilling services 
to the Company’s other operations (in which Mr Beament has no 
shareholding or other basis for inferring a significant influence). The 
addition of Pogo has increased the diversity and improved the risk 
mitigation strategy further.

“Northern Star Resources has an excellent track 

record of adding value through exploration at its 

existing Australian assets and last year made its 

first international acquisition acquiring the Pogo 

Mine in Alaska from Sumitomo. 

We remain optimistic that Northern Star Resources

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN EQUITY For the year ended 30 June 2019

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN EQUITY For the year ended 30 June 2019

NATURE AND PURPOSES OF RESERVES:

Financial assets at FVOCI

The Group has elected to recognise changes in the fair value of certain investments in equity securities in OCI, as explained in note 8(b).  
These changes are accumulated within the FVOCI reserve within equity. 

Share based payments

The share based payments reserve relates to shares, performance shares, performance rights and share options granted by the Company to  
its employees. Further information about share based payments to employees is set out in note 20.

Foreign currency translation

Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entities are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated  
in a separate reserve within equity. The cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss when the net investment is disposed of.

The above Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.

1  Critical estimates and judgements

(a)  Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

(I)  DETERMINATION OF MINERAL RESOURCES AND ORE RESERVES

2  Segment information cont’d

(b)  Segment results

The segment information for the year ended 30 June 2019 is as follows:

The Group reports its Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves in accordance with the Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) Australasian Code 
for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves - the JORC Code. The information on Mineral Resources and Ore 
Reserves is prepared by Competent Persons as defined by the JORC Code.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Assumptions that are valid at the time of 
estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available.

Changes in the forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, production costs or recovery rates may change the economic status of 
reserves and may, ultimately, result in the reserves being restated. Such changes may impact asset carrying values, depreciation and 
amortisation rates, deferred development costs and provisions for restoration.

Other critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions are discussed in the following notes:

(a)  Description of segments and principal activities

The Group’s reportable operating segments are:

1.  Pogo, Alaska USA - Mining and processing of gold
2.  Kalgoorlie Operations, WA Australia - Mining and processing of gold
3. 
4.  Exploration - Exploration and evaluation of gold mineralisation

Jundee, WA Australia - Mining and processing of gold

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues or incur expenses. 
During the current period, the Group completed the acquisition of the Pogo gold mine, refer to note 13 for further details. Following the 
completion of the Pogo transaction and review by the Executive Committee the Group now has seven operating segments (East Kundana JV, 
Kanowna Belle, Millennium, Jundee, South Kalgoorlie, Pogo, and Exploration). As in the prior year, Kanowna Belle, East Kundana JV, Millennium 
and South Kalgoorlie is considered as and has been presented as one reporting segment (Kalgoorlie Operations). Following review by the 
Executive Committee, Paulsens and Tanami have been included in the Exploration segment for the year ended 30 June 2019.

Exploration compromises all projects in the exploration and evaluation phase of the Group. These include the Mt Olympus, Fortescue JV and 
Electric Dingo projects as well as ongoing exploration programmes at the Group’s respective sites.

An analysis of segment revenues is presented in note 3.

(c)  Segment EBITDA

Segment EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure, being earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation and is calculated as follows: profit 
before income tax plus depreciation, amortisation, impairment and finance costs, less interest income.

Interest income, finance charges, interest expense and acquisition costs are not allocated to the operating segments as this type of activity is 
driven by the corporate treasury function which manages the cash position of the Group.

Segment EBITDA reconciles to profit before income tax for the year ended 30 June 2019 as follows:

3  Revenue

ACCOUNTING POLICY

(I)   SALE OF GOODS

The Group primarily generates revenue from the sale of gold and silver bullion. The Group delivers dore bars to refiners, who convert the 
product into investment grade bullion for a fee, which is subsequently sold either to the refinery or third parties (financial institutions).

Revenue from the sale of these goods is recognised when control over the inventory has transferred to the customer. Control is generally 
considered to have passed when:

•  physical possession and inventory risk is transferred (including via a third-party transport provider arranged by the refinery):

•  payment terms for the sale of goods can be clearly identified through the sale of metal credits received or receivable for the transfer of 

control of the asset;

• 

• 

the Group can determine with sufficient accuracy the metal content of the goods delivered; and

the refiner has no practical ability to reject the product where it is within contractually specified limits.

Where the economic inflows arise from other by-products, for example from the presence of other valuable metals, these amounts are 
credited to the costs of producing the primary products to the extent the amounts generated are not considered significant.

(II)   SALE OF SERVICES

Tolling revenue is recognised as the tolling services are performed. The number of units processed is considered to be the most direct 
measurement of value delivered to the customer under the contractual arrangements and therefore tolling revenue is earned per tonne of 
ore processed.

The Group adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018. The adoption of this standard had no material impact for the year ended 30 June 2019.

The Group derives the following types of revenue:

Sale of silver

4	 Significant	changes	in	the	current	reporting	period

The financial position and performance of the Group was particularly affected by the following events and transactions during the  
reporting period:

• 

the acquisition of the Pogo underground gold mine in Alaska. The acquisition was carried out through NST’s wholly owned subsidiary 
Northern Star (Alaska) LLC. This entity acquired all of the shares of Sumitomo Metal Mining Pogo LLC and SC Pogo LLC (subsequently 
renamed to Northern Star (Pogo) LLC and Northern Star (Pogo Two) LLC). For details of the acquisition refer to note 13 of the  
financial statements.

For a detailed discussion about the Group’s performance and financial position please refer to our operating and financial review on  
pages 16 to 19 of this Report.

DEPRECIATION/AMORTISATION METHOD

Items of property, plant and equipment and mine properties are depreciated/amortised over their useful lives. The Group uses the unit-of-
production basis when depreciating/amortising mine specific assets which results in a depreciation/amortisation charge proportional to the 
depletion of the anticipated remaining life of mine which is referenced to the estimated economic reserve and resources of the property to 
which the assets relate. Each item’s economic life, which is assessed annually has due regard to both its physical life limitations and to present 
assessments of economically recoverable reserves and resources of the mine property at which it is located.

Depreciation of non-mine specific property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued 
amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and 
equipment, the shorter lease term as follows:

Land and buildings 

5 - 20 years

Plant and equipment 

2 - 20 years

Motor Vehicles 

Office equipment

4 - 10 years

2 - 10 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.

ROYALTIES

Royalties under existing royalty regimes in Australia are payable on sales and therefore recognised as the sale occurs.  Production Royalties  
in Alaska are based on taxable profit and are consequently treated as an income tax.

Other includes the Group’s share of net profit or loss from equity accounted investments (2019: $3.5 million loss; 2018:$1.4 million loss)

ACCOUNTING POLICY

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via Option, Share and Performance Rights Plans as discussed in note 20.

The fair value of shares and options granted under these Plans are recognised as a share based payments expense with a corresponding 
increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares or options granted, which 
includes any market performance conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions but excludes the impact of any service and non-
market performance vesting conditions.

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of shares and options that are expected to vest. The  
total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. 
At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of shares and options that are expected to vest based on the 
non-market vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss with a corresponding 
adjustment to equity.

Income tax expense

The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate 
adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period 
in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions 
taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where 
appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from 
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither 
accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive 
income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

For the majority of the borrowings, the fair values are not materially different to their carrying amounts, since the interest payable on those 
borrowings is either close to current market rates or the borrowings are of a short-term nature. Refer above for differences as at year end.

There were no transfers between levels 1 and 2 for recurring fair value measurements during the year.

Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. 
The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which 
maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair 
value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. Valuation inputs include underlying spot prices, implied volatility, 
discount curves and time until expiration, expressed as a percent of a year.

9	 Non-financial	assets	and	liabilities

This note provides information about the Group’s non-financial assets and liabilities, including:

•  A$5.0 million bank guarantee facility drawn down by A$3.3 million (2018: A$5.0 million drawn down by A$3.3 million);

• 

specific information about the following non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities

•  A$5.0 million bank guarantee facility drawn down by A$4.5 million (2018: A$5.0 million drawn down by A$4.5 million);

•  US$72.0 million bank guarantee and stand by letter of credit facility drawn down by US$71.9 million (2018: nil); and

•  US$3.0 million bank guarantee and stand by letter of facility drawn down by US$1.3 million (2018: nil).

FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and 
measured at fair value in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, 
the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each 
level follows underneath the table.

ACCOUNTING POLICY

Property, plant and equipment is carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Refer to note 25 for further 
information on accounting policies associated with impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the 
acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable 
that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying 
amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged 
to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as 
finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the lease property, or, if lower, the present value of 
the minimum lease payments.

The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the asset’s useful life or over the shorter of the asset’s 
useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.

Plant and equipment includes the following amounts where the Group is a lessee under a finance lease:

Exploration and evaluation assets include the costs of acquiring licences, costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity, and the fair 
value (at acquisition date) of exploration and evaluation assets acquired in a business combination. Exploration and evaluation expenditure 
is capitalised on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the Group has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in 
the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either, the expenditures are 
expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or activities in the area of interest have 
not at the reporting date; reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable 
reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Once a development decision has been made all past exploration and evaluation expenditure in respect of an area of interest that has 
been capitalised is transferred to mine properties where it is amortised over the life of the area of interest to which it relates on a unit-of-
production basis. No amortisation is charged during the exploration and evaluation phase.

The application of the above accounting policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and 
circumstances, in particular, the assessment of whether economic quantities of reserves will be found. Any such estimates and assumptions 
may change as new information becomes available, which may require adjustments to the carrying value of assets. Capitalised exploration 
and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment when an indicator of impairment exists, and capitalised assets are written off  
where required.

EMPLOYEE ENTITLEMENTS - LEAVE OBLIGATIONS

The leave obligations cover the Group’s liability for long service leave and annual leave.

10  Equity

ACCOUNTING POLICY

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. They entitle the holder to participate in dividends and have no par value.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from  
the proceeds.

The current portion of this liability includes all of the accrued annual leave, the unconditional entitlements to long service leave where 
employees have completed the required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain 
circumstances. The entire amount of the annual leave provision of $19.3 million (2018 - $17.7 million) is presented as current, as the Group 
does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. Based on past experience, the Group does not expect 
all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months. The following amounts reflect leave 
that is not to be expected to be taken or paid within the next 12 months.

Rehabilitation provision

The Group assesses its mine rehabilitation provision annually. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for mine 
rehabilitation and closure as there are many factors that will affect the ultimate liability payable to rehabilitate the mine sites, including future 
disturbances caused by further development, changes in technology, changes in regulations, price increases, changes in timing of cash 
flows which are based on life of mine plans and changes in discount rates. When these factors change or become known in the future, such 
differences will impact the mine rehabilitation provision in the period in which the change becomes known.

Long service leave

The liability for long service leave and other long-term benefits is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be 
made by the Group for those employees with greater than 5 years’ service up to the reporting date. Long-term benefits not expected to be 
settled within 12 months are discounted using the rates attaching to high quality corporate bonds at the reporting date, which most closely 
match the terms of maturity of the related liability. In determining the liability for these long-term employee benefits, consideration has been 
given to expected future increases in wage and salary rates, the Group’s experience with staff departures and periods of service. Related on-
costs are also included in the liability.

The Board has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Audit and Risk 
Management Committee is responsible for developing and monitoring risk management policies. The Committee reports regularly to the 
Board on its activities.

Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, 
and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market 
conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training, management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined 
and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Group’s Audit and Risk Management Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management 
policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group.

(a)  Market risk

(I) 

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

The Group operates internationally and its exposure to foreign exchange risk is primarily the US$. Foreign exchange risk arises from future 
commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency of the relevant 
entity. The carrying value of financial instruments that are held in a currency other than the entities functional currency are not material.

The Group’s US operations give rise to a foreign currency exposure, however the impacts of translating these entities into the Australian 
Dollar presentational currency are recorded through the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

(II)  CASH FLOW AND FAIR VALUE INTEREST RATE RISK

At reporting date the Group has minimal exposure to interest rate risk. The majority of the Group’s borrowings relate to the purchases of 
plant and equipment under finance lease arrangements which have fixed interest rates over their term and therefore not subject to interest 
rate risk as defined in AASB 7.

(III)  PRICE RISK 

Exposure

The Group is exposed to the risk of fluctuations in the prevailing market prices for the gold and silver currently produced from its  
operating mines.

The Group manages this risk through the use of gold forward contracts. These contracts are accounted for as sale contracts with revenue 
recognised once gold has been physically delivered into the contract. The physical gold delivery contracts are considered a contract to sell a 
non-financial item and therefore do not fall within the scope of AASB 9 Financial Instruments. The Group’s contractual sales commitments are 
disclosed in note 17.

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligation resulting in financial loss to the Group. Credit risk 
arises from cash and cash equivalents and credit exposures to gold sales counterparties and financial counterparties.

(I)  RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group has adopted the policy of dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from 
defaults. Cash is deposited only with institutions approved by the Board, typically with a current minimum credit rating of A (or equivalent) as 
determined by a reputable credit rating agency e.g. Standard & Poor’s. Permitted instruments by which the Group hedges gold price risk are 
entered into with financial counterparties with a minimum credit of A (or equivalent). The Group has established limits on aggregate funds 
on term deposit or invested in money markets to be placed with a single financial counterparty and monitors credit and counterparty risk 
using credit default swaps. The Group sells the majority of its unhedged gold and silver to a single counterparty with settlement terms of no 
more than 2 days. The counterparty currently has an AA+ long term rating and AAA short term rating. The Group does not have any other 
significant credit risk exposure to a single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics.

(II)  CREDIT QUALITY

The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if 
available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates.

In determining the recoverability of trade and other receivables, the Group performs a risk analysis considering the type and age of the 
outstanding receivable and the creditworthiness of the counterparty. If appropriate, an impairment loss will be recognised in profit or loss. 
The Group does not have any impaired Trade and other receivables as at 30 June 2019 (2018: nil). No allowance for expected credit losses 
has been recognised as the duration off associated exposure is short and/or the probability of default is negligible.

11  Financial risk management cont’d

(c)  Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring immediate and forecasted cash requirements and ensures adequate cash reserves are 
maintained to pay debts as and when due.

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an 
adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due. At the end of the reporting period the Group held short term 
on-demand cash balance of $263.1 million (2018: deposits at call of $202.0 million and on-demand cash balance of $240.9 million) that 
available for managing liquidity risk. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group maintains flexibility in funding by 
maintaining availability under committed credit facilities.

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s available cash reserve (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below and cash 
and cash equivalents) on the basis of expected cash flows. The Group’s liquidity management policy involves seeking to maintain a minimum 
available cash of at least 30 days costs of goods sold plus net interest costs.

12  Capital management

(a)  Risk management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to

• 

safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for 
other stakeholders, and

•  maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital and maximise returns to Shareholders and benefits for other 

stakeholders.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to Shareholders, return capital to 
Shareholders or issue new shares.

Total capital is equity, as shown in the statement of financial position. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital 
requirements.

ACCOUNTING POLICY

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other 
assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the: fair values of the assets transferred; 
liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business; equity interests issued by the Group; fair value of any asset or liability 
resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement; and fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured 
initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The application of acquisition accounting requires significant judgements and estimates to 
be made, which are discussed further below. The Group engages independent third parties to assist with the determination of the fair value 
of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, non-controlling interest, if any, and goodwill, based on recognised business valuation methodologies. 
The income valuation method represents the present value of future cash flows over the life of the asset using:

•   financial forecasts, which rely on management’s estimates of reserve quantities and exploration potential, costs to produce and develop 

reserves, revenues, and operating expenses;

•  

long-term growth rates;

•   appropriate discount rates; and

•   expected future capital requirements.

The market valuation method uses prices paid for a similar asset by other purchasers in the market, normalised for any differences between 
the assets. The cost valuation method is based on the replacement cost of a comparable asset at the time of the acquisition adjusted for 
depreciation and economic and functional obsolescence of the asset and estimates of residual values.

The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the 
non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

The excess of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree over the acquisition date fair 
value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets 
of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a 
bargain purchase.

If the initial accounting for the business combination is not complete by the end of the reporting period in which the acquisition occurs, an 
estimate will be recorded. Subsequent to the acquisition date, but not later than one year from the acquisition date, the Group will record any 
material adjustments to the initial estimate based on new information obtained that would have existed as of the date of the acquisition.

(II)  ACQUIRED RECEIVABLES

The fair value of acquired trade receivables is $3.4 million. The gross contractual amount for trade receivables due is $3.4 million, of which 
none is expected to be uncollectible.

(III)  REVENUE AND PROFIT CONTRIBUTION

The acquired business contributed revenues of $253.1 million and a net loss of $31.9 million to the Group for the period from  
1 October 2018 - 30 June 2019.

If the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2018, consolidated pro-forma revenue and net loss for the year ended 30 June 2019 would have 
been $351.1 million and $42.6 million respectively. These amounts have been calculated using the subsidiary’s results and adjusting for 
differences in the accounting policies between the Group and the subsidiary.

On 31 July 2015, Northern Star Resources Ltd (“NSR”), completed settlement with Tanami Gold NL (“TAM”) to progressively acquire a  
60% interest in the Central Tanami Project (“CTP”).

As part of the acquisition, NSR has granted TAM two put options to sell the remaining 40% interest in the CTP following completion. The first 
put option grants TAM the right to sell 15% of CTP for $20 million in cash or NSR shares at TAM’s election, at any time from completion up 
until three years after the completion of the initial acquisition. If  commercial production is achieved more than three years after completion, 
TAM may exercise this option at any time up to 30 calendar days following achievement of commercial production. The second put option 
grants TAM the right to sell 25% of CTP for $32 million in cash or NSR shares at TAMs election at any time from completion up to six calendar 
months after the achievement of commercial production.

On 27 June 2018, TAM announced its intention to exercise the first put option on or immediately prior to 31 July 2018 in accordance with the 
terms of the joint venture agreement between TAM and the Company. As such, the Company had recognised a $20 million payable as at  
30 June 2018. Refer to note 4 for further details. On 31 July 2018, TAM exercised the first put option under the joint venture agreement.

The total undiscounted amount of payments that the Group could be required to make to TAM upon the exercise of the second put option  
is $32 million.

The joint arrangements listed above are classified as joint operations and are not separate legal entities. They are contractual arrangements 
between participants for the sharing of costs and outputs and do not themselves generate revenue and profit. The joint operations are of 
the type where initially one party contributes tenements with the other party earning a specified percentage by funding exploration activities; 
thereafter the parties often share exploration and development costs and output in proportion to their ownership of joint venture assets.  
The joint operations are accounted for in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy set out in note 25.

(c)  Transactions with other related parties

(I)  PURCHASES FROM ENTITIES CONTROLLED BY KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL

The Company has in place policies and procedures which govern transactions involving KMPs and their related parties, and these policies 
and procedures restrict the involvement of the KMP or related party in the negotiation, awarding or direct management of the resultant 
contract. In the Company’s 2017 Annual Report, specifically Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company reported that the 
beneficial minority interest held by Mr Beament in AUD Pty Ltd, the sole Shareholder of Australian Underground Drilling Pty Ltd (AUD), being 
a supplier of goods and services to the Company, did not require reporting under the Accounting Standards. For the purposes of the 2019 
Annual Report, the Company is of the same view, having applied the necessary criteria under the Australian Accounting Standards for FY2019.

The Company’s policies and procedures continue to apply to ensure that Mr Beament is not involved in the negotiation, awarding of contracts 
or direct management of the contract with AUD. Mr Beament’s continued Shareholding in AUD also remains the subject of regular review by 
the independent Directors. They recognise that, notwithstanding the position under the Australian Accounting Standards, good corporate 
governance would normally be exhibited by the absence of a key executive holding a 23% interest in a drilling contract with a material 
supplier to the Company. AUD is a material supplier due to the aggregate total of fees paid, the nature of the services provided to the 
Company by the supplier, and the place the supplier has in the Company’s risk mitigation strategy, in seeking to maintain diversity amongst 
its suppliers where it is commercially feasible to do so, to ensure that there is no reliance by the Company on one supplier for a particular 
service across all the Company’s operations. The independent Directors’ unanimous view remains that the continuing contractual relationship 
between the Company and AUD is more beneficial to the Company than terminating the contract would be. The results of the multiple party 
tender process conducted in FY18 demonstrated that there was no comparable supplier with the capacity at the time of tender to provide 
the services to the Company’s Kalgoorlie Operations for the same quality, productivity rates and price offered by AUD. Further, the selection 
of AUD was and remains consistent with the Company-wide risk mitigation strategy in striving for diversity in its supply chain, having regard 
to the other suppliers providing underground diamond drilling services to the Company’s other operations (in which Mr Beament has no 
shareholding or other basis for inferring a significant influence). The addition of Pogo has increased the diversity and improved the risk 
mitigation strategy further

The following transaction occurred with relates parties:

The weighted average share price at the date of exercise of options exercised during the year ended 30 June 2019 was $7.049 [2018 - $4.414).

There were no share options outstanding at the end of the year (2018: 758,688 share options with an exercise price of $2.18 and an expiry 
date of 31 July 2018)

The expected volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the remaining life of the performance rights). 

Total performance rights on issue at 30 June 2019 is 10,198,000 (2018: 10,047,140).

Total share based payments expense for the year ended 30 June 2019 was $8.4 million (2018: $11.4 million)

(b)  Employee Share Plan

21  Remuneration of auditors

Under the Employee Share Plan, eligible employees may be granted up to $1,000 of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company annually for 
no cash consideration. The number of shares issued to participants in the scheme is the offer amount divided by the weighted average price 
at which the Company’s shares are traded on the ASX during the week up to and including the date of grant. The fair value of shares issued 
during the year was $9.38 (2018: $6.33) per share.

During the year the following fees were paid or payable for services provided by the auditor of the parent entity, its related practices  
and non-related audit firms:

(c)  Performance Share Plan

No performance shares were issued in FY2019.

Total performance shares on issue at 30 June 2019 is 1,091,001 (2018: 5,031,535), with a corresponding total non-recourse loan value of 
$1,176,511 (2018: $7,542,509).

(d)  Performance Rights

On 30 July 2018, 404,990 Category B performance rights were issued to the senior management of the Company. During the year,  
26,330 of these Category B performance rights were cancelled. Balance on issue as at 30 June 2019 in relation to FY2019 issue is 378,660.

The Company may issue performance rights to one or more eligible employee under the Long Term Incentive Plan. A performance right is a 
conditional right which, upon the satisfaction or waiver of the relevant vesting conditions, and, if required by the Company the exercise of that 
right, entitles its holder to received one share.

The assessed fair value at grant date of the performance rights granted during the year ended 30 June 2019 was $3.361.

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model (market based vesting conditions) and a Black 
Scholes Model (non market vesting conditions) that takes into account the term of the performance rights, the impact of dilution (where 
material), the share price at grant date and expected volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield, the risk-free rate for the 
term of the performance right and the correlations and volatilities of the peer group companies.

22	 Earnings	per	share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

• 

the profit attributable to owners of the Company

•  by the weighted average numbers of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, excluding treasury shares.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

• 

• 

the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and

the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive 
potential ordinary shares.

23  Deed of cross guarantee

The Australian incorporated subsidiaries detailed in note 1 are each a party to a Deed of Cross Guarantee dated 14 May 2014, as varied 
(Deed), and have the benefit of ASIC relief from the requirements to prepare and lodge with ASIC audited financial reports in accordance with 
Part 2M.3 of the Corporations Act, pursuant to ASIC Corporations (Wholly-owned Companies) Instrument 2016/785 dated 17 December 2016 
(Instrument).

Under the Deed, each entity in the Group guarantees to each creditor payment in full of any debt in the event of winding up of any of the 
entities under certain provisions of the Corporations Act. In the event of a winding up of an entity under other provisions of the Corporations 
Act, the other entities in the Group will only be liable to make up any shortfall of funds if after six months any creditor has not been paid 
in full. The effect of the covenants given by the entities under the Deed is to make the Company Group akin to a single legal entity from a 
financial perspective.

The Deed was varied on 21 May 2019 to comply with updated ASIC Pro Forma 24 issued on 28 September 2016, and the following 
subsidiaries were joined to the Deed by way of Assumption Deed dated 21 May 2019:

Resources Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by Northern Star Resources Limited for any current tax 
receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Northern Star Resources 
Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly-
owned entities’ financial statements.

The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is 
issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts to 
assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as current amounts receivable 
from or payable to other entities in the Group.

Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a 
contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.

25	 Summary	of	significant	accounting	policies

This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements to 
the extent they have not already been disclosed in the other notes above. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years 
presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the Group consisting of Northern Star Resources Limited and its 
subsidiaries.

(a)  Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations 
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Northern Star Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for 
the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

(I)  COMPLIANCE WITH IFRS

Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of the Company and the Group complies 
with international financial reporting standards (IFRS).

(II)  HISTORICAL COST CONVENTION

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:

• 

financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative  
instruments); and

(e)  Determining the parent entity financial information

(III)  NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP

The financial information for the parent entity, Northern Star Resources Limited, has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated 
financial statements, except as set out below.

The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting 
Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

(I) 

INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES, ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURE ENTITIES

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Northern Star 
Resources Limited.

(II)  TAX CONSOLIDATION LEGISLATION

Northern Star Resources Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation.

The head entity, Northern Star Resources Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated Group account for their own current 
and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated Group continues to be a stand-alone 
taxpayer in its own right.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Any significant impact of the accounting policies of the Group from the adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations are 
disclosed below. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial 
performance or position of the Group.

(IV)  NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2019 reporting periods  
and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set  
out below.

Title of standard

AASB 16 Leases

Nature of change

AASB 16 was issued in February 2016. It will result in almost all leases being recognised on the Consolidated 
Statement of Financial Position by lessees, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. 
Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are 
recognised. The only exceptions are short-term and low-value leases.

Impact

The Group has set up a project team which reviewed all of the Group’s leasing arrangements over the last year 
in light of the new lease accounting rules in AASB 16. The standard will affect primarily the accounting for the 
Group’s operating leases.

As at the reporting date, the Group has non-cancellable operating lease commitments of $54.2 million, see  
note 16. Of these commitments, approximately $1.4 million relate to short-term and low value leases which will 
both be recognised on a straight-line basis as expense in profit or loss.

For the remaining lease commitments the Group expects, on 1 July 2019, to recognise right-of-use assets of 
approximately $52.0 million, lease liabilities of $54.4 million (after adjustments for prepayments and accrued 
lease payments recognised as at 30 June 2019) and deferred tax assets of $0.7 million. Overall net assets will be 
approximately $1.6 million lower, and net current assets will be $22.3 million lower due to the presentation of a 
portion of the liability as a current liability.

The Group expects that net profit after tax will decrease by approximately $1.2 million for 2020 as a result 
of adopting the new rules. Adjusted EBITDA used to measure segment results is expected to increase by 
approximately $25.2 million, as the operating lease payments were included in EBITDA, but the amortisation of the 
right-of-use assets and interest on the lease liability are excluded from this measure.

Northern Star Resources Limited Limited recognises its direct right to the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations and 
its share of any jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These have been incorporated in the financial statements 
under the appropriate headings. Details of the joint operation are set out in note 16(b).

(III)  CHANGES IN OWNERSHIP INTERESTS

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the 
Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests 
to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any 
consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Northern Star Resources Limited.

When the Group ceases to consolidate or equity account for an investment because of a loss of control, joint control or significant influence, 
any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. This fair 
value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture 
or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted 
for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other 
comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

(c)  Foreign currency translation

(I) 

FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollar 
($), which is Northern Star Resources Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

Operating cash flows will increase and financing cash flows decrease by approximately $23.9 million as repayment 
of the principal portion of the lease liabilities will be classified as cash flows from financing activities.

(d) 

Impairment of assets

Mandatory 
application date/ 
Date of adoption  
by Group

The Group will apply the standard from its mandatory adoption date of 1 July 2019.

The Group intends to apply the simplified transition approach and will not restate comparative amounts for  
the year prior to first adoption. Right-of-use assets for property leases will be measured on transition as if the  
new rules had always been applied. All other right-of-use assets will be measured at the amount of the lease 
liability on adoption (adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease expenses).

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or 
future reporting years and on foreseeable future transactions.

(b)  Principles of consolidation

(I) 

SUBSIDIARIES

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is 
exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power 
to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are 
deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Northern Star Resources Limited (‘Company’ 
or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2019 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Northern Star Resources Limited and its 
subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity.

(II) 

JOINT ARRANGEMENTS

Under AASB 11 Joint Arrangements investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. The 
classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. 
Northern Star Resources Limited has only joint operations. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control 
of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually 
agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the 
parties sharing control.

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and other intangible assets to determine whether there is 
any indication that those assets might be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to 
determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any) which is the amount by which the assets carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. 
Where the asset does not generate cash in-flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of 
the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell (FVLCS) and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future 
cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of 
money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is 
reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses for assets other than goodwill, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is increased to the 
revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount 
that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or CGU) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment 
loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

Estimates of quantities of recoverable minerals, production levels, operating costs and capital requirements are sourced from out planning 
process, including the LOM plans, five-year plans, one-year budgets and CGU-specific studies.

The determination of FVLCS for each CGU are considered to be Level 3 fair value measurements in both years, as they are derived from 
valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market data. The Group considers the inputs and the valuation 
approach to be consistent with the approach taken by market participants.

(g)  Rounding of amounts

The Company is of a kind referred to ASIC Legislative Instrument 2016/191, relating to the ‘rounding off’ of amounts in the financial 
statements. Amounts in the financial statements have been rounded off in accordance with the instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, 
or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

(h)  Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the 
taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or 
payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are 
recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

(e) 

Investments and other financial assets

(I)  CLASSIFICATION

From 1 July 2018, the Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

• 
• 

those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss), and
those to be measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that 
are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account 
for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

(II)  MEASUREMENT

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit 
or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets 
carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of 
principal and interest.

DEBT INSTRUMENTS

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow 
characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments:

•  Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal 
and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective 
interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) 
together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the consolidated statement of 
profit or loss.

• 

• 

FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows 
represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, 
except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in 
profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity 
to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using 
the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses) and impairment expenses are 
presented as separate line item in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment  
that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which 
it arises.

EQUITY INSTRUMENTS

The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s management has elected to present fair value 
gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following 
the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income  when the 
Group’s right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other gains/(losses) in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as 
applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from 
other changes in fair value.

(III)  IMPAIRMENT

From 1 July 2018, the Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at 
amortised cost and FVOCI. The Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be 
recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

Independent Auditor’s Report
to the members of Northern Star Resources Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Northern Star Resources Limited (the “Company”) and its
subsidiaries (the “Group”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30
June  2019,  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the
consolidated statement of changes in equity, and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the
year  then  ended,  and  notes  to  the  financial  statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant
information,  and  the  directors’  declaration.
accounting  policies  and  other  explanatory 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:

(i)

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its
financial performance for the year then ended; and

(ii)

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report section  of  our  report.  We  are  independent  of  the  Group  in  accordance  with  the  auditor
independence  requirements  of  the Corporations  Act  2001 and  the  ethical  requirements  of  the
Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical  Standards  Board’s  APES  110 Code  of  Ethics  for  Professional
Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have
also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has
been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as
at the time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance
in  our  audit  of  the  financial  report  for  the  current  period.  These  matters  were  addressed  in  the
context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we
do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Pogo

Effective  28  September  2018,  the  Group
acquired  the  Pogo  Operations  for  a  total
consideration of $360.426 million.

Further details of the key assumptions
applied by management as part of the
acquisition accounting, by material asset
class is disclosed in Note 13.

Judgement  is  required  by  management  in
assessing  the  fair  values  of  identifiable
assets and liabilities including:

assumptions  relating  to  forecast
cash  flows,  including  ore  volumes
and  grades,  life  of  mine,  operating
costs and gold price;
assumptions  relating  to  the  useful
lives  and  residual  values  applicable
to plant and equipment;
timing  and  quantum  of  deferred
taxes;
scope and quantum of costs, and
timing 
activities; and
calculation of discount rates applied
to each valuation.

Our procedures, performed in conjunction with our
valuation specialists, included but were not limited to:

liabilities  associated  with 

reviewing the purchase contract to understand the
nature  of  the  entities  being  acquired  and  the
consideration payable for the acquisition;
obtaining a copy of the external valuation report to
assess the determination of the fair values of the
assets  and 
the
acquisition;
assessing the independence, competence and
objectivity of experts used by management;
assessing the identification of assets and liabilities
acquired,  and 
the
methodologies  and  assumptions  utilised  by
management  and  their  experts  in  relation  to  the
following:

the  appropriateness  of 

Property, plant and equipment: assessing
key assumptions for reasonableness
including residual values of the assets and
life of mine;
Mine properties: assessing assumptions
for reasonableness, such as life of mine,
gold price,  processing costs, grades and
ore volumes, as well as the method used
in determining the fair values;
Rehabilitation Provision: agreeing
rehabilitation cost estimates to underlying
support, which included reports from
external experts;
Taxation: assessing the calculation of tax
and the recognition of deferred taxes.

Assessing the weighted average return on assets
(WARA) analysis for reasonableness that was
performed by management’s external expert to
check the allocation between property, plant and
equipment and mine properties;
Evaluating discount rates used by assessing the
cost of capital applied in each valuation by
comparing them to market data and industry
research.

We also assessed the appropriateness of the
disclosures included in Note 13 to the financial
statements.

As  at  30  June  2019  the  carrying  value  of
mine  properties  amounts  to  $356.361

and judgements, including:

the  allocation  of  mining  costs
between  operating  and  capital

A  key  driver  of  the  allocation  of  costs
between  operating  and  capital expenditure
is  the physical mining data associated  with
the  different  underground  mining  activities
including  the  development  of  declines,
lateral and vertical development, as well as
capital non-sustaining costs.

Rehabilitation provision

As at 30 June 2019 a rehabilitation
provision of $219.551 million has been
recognised as disclosed in Note 9(g).

Judgement is required in the determination
of the rehabilitation provision, including:

In  respect  of  the  allocation  of  mining  costs  our
procedures included, but were not limited to:

obtaining an understanding and testing of the
key  controls  management  has  in  place  in
relation  to  the  capitalisation  of  underground
mining  expenditure  and  the  production  of
physical underground mining data; and
assessing the appropriateness of the allocation
of
 costs  between  operating  and  capital

were not limited to:

obtaining an understanding of the key controls
management  has  in  place  in  relation  to  the
calculation  of 
the  unit  of  production
amortisation rate;
testing the mathematical accuracy of the rates
applied; and
agreeing the inputs to source documentation,
including:
-

the  allocation  of  contained  ounces  to  the
specific mine properties;
the  contained  ounces  to  the  applicable
reserves and resources statement; and
the  anticipated  development  expenditure
to  life  of  mine  models,  which  were
assessed for reasonableness compared to
historical development expenditure for the
respective operations.

We  also  assessed  the  appropriateness  of
 the
disclosures  included  in  Note  9(c)  to  the  financial
statements.

Our procedures included, but were not limited to:

obtaining an understanding of the key
controls management has in place to estimate
the rehabilitation provision;
agreeing  rehabilitation  cost  estimates  to
underlying support, including where applicable
reports from external experts;
assessing the independence, competence and
objectivity of experts used by management;
confirming the closure and related
rehabilitation dates are consistent with the
latest estimates of life of mines;
comparing the inflation and discount rates to
available market information; and
testing the mathematical accuracy of the
rehabilitation provision.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If,
based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of
the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement  when  it  exists.  Misstatements  can  arise  from  fraud  or  error  and  are  considered
material  if,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  they  could  reasonably  be  expected  to  influence  the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from  error,  as 
intentional  omissions,
involve  collusion, 
fraud  may 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

forgery, 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the  audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  director’s  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related  to  events  or  conditions  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  Group’s  ability  to
continue  as  a  going  concern.  If  we  conclude  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial
report  or,  if  such disclosures  are  inadequate,  to modify  our  opinion.  Our  conclusions  are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the
disclosures,  and  whether  the  financial  report  represents  the  underlying  transactions  and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  the  financial  information  of  the
entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report.
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group’s audit. We
remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of  the audit  and significant audit  findings, including any  significant deficiencies  in  internal control
that we identify during our audit.

We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical
requirements  regarding  independence, and  to communicate  with them all relationships and  other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter
should not  be communicated in our report because the  adverse  consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Remuneration  Report  in  accordance  with  section  300A  of  the Corporations  Act  2001.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in
