Net Asset Values
Baker Steel Resources Trust Limited ("the Company") announces its net asset
value per share as at 29 October 2010:
Net asset value per Ordinary share: 92.1 pence
During the month the NAV per share fell 1.71% largely reflecting the continued
strength of Sterling, in particular against the US Dollar in which the majority
of the portfolio's assets are denominated.
The Company has a total of 66,030,632 Ordinary Shares and 13,197,051
Subscription Shares in issue following the exercise of 7,543 Subscription Shares
at the end of September.
Portfolio update
During October, the Company made a further investment in South American Ferro
Metals ("SAFM") as part of the A$15 million placing being undertaken concurrent
to its reverse takeover by Australian Stock Exchange ("ASX") listed Riviera
Resources Limited. The placing was oversubscribed and the new shares together
with the shares issued as a result of the acquisition of SAFM are due to list on
the ASX on 8 November 2010 under the symbol SFZ.
The new shares issued pursuant to the SAFM acquisition comprise ordinary shares
and three categories of unlisted performance share which will convert to
ordinary shares on SAFM meeting various project milestones on its Ponto Verde
iron ore project in Brazil. It is expected that the A$15 million raised will
provide sufficient funding to enable SAFM to satisfy these project milestones.
As the performance shares are unlisted and their conversion into ordinary shares
is conditional, each of the three classes of performance share will be carried
at discounted values to the ordinary shares. The revaluation of the Company's
interest in SAFM will result in an increase of approximately 1% in the Company's
NAV based on the placing price. Thereafter a full unlocking of value will only
occur on conversion of the performance shares, which is expected over a 6-18
month period.

Update on Investments
Gobi Coal & Energy Limited ("Gobi")
During the month Gobi undertook a private placing of shares at US$5 per share
compared to the Company's carrying value of US$2 per share. However, as this
placing amounted to less than 2% of Gobi's issued share capital, the Company's
carrying value remains unchanged in accordance with its valuation policy.
