The one new idea in Elliott Management’s campaign at the ASX’s biggest gold miner has pushed it shares up 10 per cent. Investors want change.

The Florida-headquartered investment behemoth is expected to call for a broad review of the underperforming gold miner, and an overhaul of the board.

Elliott Management has reportedly built a A$1B stake in Northern Star Resources, Australia's top gold miner, amid leadership changes and rising gold prices.
