Sometimes depends what numbers we are talking about... not all gaps need to close.. short term anyways.. money to be made!

check these numbers though:

 Northern Star’s organic growth strategy has culminated in a 10.2Moz gold inventory based on Tier-1 assets in Western Australia which will underpin significant, sustainable production growth and generate industry-leading financial returns for Shareholders

 The substantial inventory growth stems from Northern Star’s exploration success at its Jundee and Kalgoorlie Operations, both of which have been returned to their world-class status

 Previously-announced guidance for FY18 stands at 525,000-575,000oz at A$1,000-A$1,050/oz; Production rate on track to reach 600,000ozpa in CY2018; FY19 guidance is 550,000-600,000oz

 Forecast expansionary capital in FY19 A$60m and FY20 A$40m (down from A$75m in FY17 and A$65m in FY18)  Expanded inventory and upgraded production capacity positions Jundee and Kalgoorlie Operations to each produce ~300,000ozpa within two years

 Plus, Northern Star today announces a major discovery, the Zodiac high-grade lode at Jundee; this is not included in the inventory update

 Initial assays from Zodiac show multiple mineralised intercepts over a 200m single downhole interval: 4.8m at 21.2gpt, 2.9m at 10.4gpt, 0.3m at 47.0gpt, 3.6m at 4.0gpt, 3.1m at 4.3gpt & 2.5m at 5.4gpt (all true width)

FY2017 Reserve-Resource Update:

 Total Reserves increase by 2.3Moz to 3.5Moz (despite depletion of 546,000oz in FY17)

 Total Resources increase by 2.7Moz to 10.2Moz, including a 58% increase in Measured and Indicated Resources to 6.3Moz, highlighting mine life visibility well past current Reserves

 Significant Reserve increases at the Tier-1 mines: ▪ Jundee up 100% to 1.45Moz (despite depletion of 259koz) ▪ Kalgoorlie Operations up 117% to 2.0Moz (despite depletion of 229koz) ▪ Kanowna up 125% to 0.6Moz ▪ NST 100% Kundana up 280% to 0.8Moz ▪ EKJV 51% Kundana up 36% to 0.6Moz
