31 January 2012 NAV Statement
Net Asset Values
Baker Steel Resources Trust Limited (the "Company") announces
its unaudited net asset value and diluted net asset value per share
as at 31 January 2012:
Net asset value per Ordinary share: 129.6 pence
Diluted net asset value per Ordinary share: 124.7 pence
During the month, the undiluted NAV per share fell by 0.54%
largely due to the strength of Sterling against US Dollars, in
which the majority of the portfolio's investments are denominated.
A strong market performance in China Polymetallic Mining Limited,
in which the Company has a 10.2% portfolio investment, has offset
some of these losses.
The Company has a total of 66,033,061 Ordinary Shares and
13,194,622 Subscription Shares in issue.
The Company is fully invested with top 10 investments as follows

Update on Investments
Ironstone Resources Limited ("Ironstone")
Towards the end of 2011, Ironstone received a revised NI 43-101
resource report from independent mining consultants, SRK Consulting
(Canada) Inc., covering its Rambling Creek and North Whitemud River
deposits in Alberta, Canada. This followed 12,000 metres of
drilling earlier in the year. The revised total compliant resource
rose to 556.5Mt indicated Fe at 33.3% and 86.9Mt inferred Fe at
34.1%, an increase of more than 200% over the previous NI 43-101
resource report completed in October 2010. In addition, the
indicated resource graded 0.2% vanadium, containing 1.1 million
tonnes of vanadium. These results were ahead of our
expectations.
The next key milestone for Ironstone is the demonstration of the
metallurgical process to refine the ore into direct reduced iron
and a demonstration of the recoverability of the vanadium. During
2011, Ironstone extracted a 10,000 tonne bulk sample and this has
been the subject of extensive pilot plant work in conjunction with
a leading process engineer. The metallurgical work is due to be
completed mid-2012, following which options for the development of
Ironstone will be considered, including an IPO.
