Over recent months the Board of Northern Star Resources Ltd (ASX:NST) advised the market of the
appointment of new independent directors, Jeff Quartermaine and Terry Bowen. These appointments were
made as part of the Board’s succession planning process. On 12 August, Elliott Investment Management L.P.
released the names of six additional candidates whom it believed would enhance the Board. The Board
undertook at that time to evaluate Elliott’s recommended candidates in accordance with its normal processes.
As a result of that evaluation and after constructive discussions with Elliott Investment Management L.P.,
Northern Star is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Cutifani CBE and Peter Rozenauers as
independent non-executive directors with effect from 1 October 2026. The Board will also recommend that,
along with the re-appointment of Jeff Quartermaine, Terry Bowen and Sally Langer, shareholders re-appoint
Mr. Cutifani and Mr. Rozenauers at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 18 November 2026. Following
their appointment, Mr. Cutifani and Mr. Rozenauers will join the previously announced subcommittee chaired
by Mr. Quartermaine.
Mr Cutifani’s career spans almost five decades in mining and 40 years in senior executive and operational
roles across multiple jurisdictions including Australia, North and South America and Africa.
Mr Cutifani served as Chief Executive of Anglo American for more than 9 years during which time he led
significant restructuring and performance improvements across the group’s global operations. He has very
deep gold sector experience including through his role as Chief Executive Officer of AngloGold Ashanti which
he held for more than 5 years prior to taking the role of CEO of Anglo American.
Mr Cutifani holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree from the University of Wollongong, was
awarded the AusIMM’s Institute Medal in 2022 and was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British
Empire (CBE) in the 2024 UK King’s New Year’s Honours List for contributions to global mining investment.
Mr Rozenauers, who is based in Sydney, is a mining engineer with 34 years’ experience in natural resources
investment management and trading. He is the immediate past Operating Partner and Managing Partner of
Orion Resource Partners having retired from Orion in June 2026. Mr Rozenauers remains a non-executive
member of the investment committee at Orion Mine Finance and Orion Industrial Ventures and is a nonexecutive director of Nasdaq listed Uranium Royalty Corporation.

Mr Michael Chaney AO, Chairman of Northern Star said:
“We are very pleased that Mark and Peter have agreed to join our Board and I have no doubt that they will make
a great contribution as we transition to new leadership under Suresh Vadnagra.
With Mark and Peter’s appointment and the recent appointments of Jeff Quartermaine and Terry Bowen, we
will have a Board with the mix of skills and experience needed to work with our new senior leadership to unlock
the full potential of Northern Star’s assets.”
