Net Asset Values
Baker Steel Resources Trust Limited ("the Company") announces its net asset
value per share as at 30 November 2010:
Net asset value per Ordinary share: 95.3 pence
During the month the NAV per share rose 3.5% partly due to an increase in the
value of South American Ferro Metals Limited following its listing on the
Australian Stock Exchange and partly due to a weakening in the Sterling exchange
rate, particularly 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.
Portfolio update
During November, South American Ferro Metals ("SAFM") listed on the Australian
Stock Exchange ("ASX"). This contributed a 1.0% increase in the NAV. As
explained in the October NAV statement, a significant portion of the Company's
holding in SAFM is in the form of unlisted Performance Shares which are held at
a discount to the Ordinary Shares pending conversion to Ordinary Shares upon
SAFM's meeting various project milestones at its Ponto Verde iron ore project in
Brazil.
At the end of October the mining of ore commenced at Ponto Verde and is being
trucked to a nearby third party processing plant for beneficiation prior to
sale, whilst SAFM commissions its own plant at Ponto Verde. This will not only
provide early cashflow, but is also a key step towards meeting two of the
project milestones for the conversion of the Performance Shares.

Update on Investments
Ferrous Resources Limited ("Ferrous")
The board of Ferrous met in the middle of November to assess progress on the
strategic review process being undertaken by Deutsche Bank. It reported that it

First Coal Corporation ("First Coal")
First Coal has been making successful modifications to the cutting head on its
narrow entry miner unit on its ADDCAR Highwall Mining System prior to a further
test scheduled for April 2011. The recent C$3.3 billion bid for First Coal's
immediate neighbour, Western Coal, demonstrates an increased interest in
metallurgical coal projects.
