Net Asset Value
Baker Steel Resources Trust Limited (the "Company") announces
its unaudited net asset value per share at 31 August 2015:
Net asset value per Ordinary Share: 41.0 pence
Since 31 July 2015, the NAV per share has risen by 1.5% largely
due to a 12.7% recovery in the share price of Ivanhoe Mines on the
Toronto Stock Exchange and also an enhancement as a result of the
start of the share buyback programme.
The Company had a total of 114,568,335 Ordinary Shares in issue
with 700,000 shares held in treasury as at 31 August 2015.

Share Buyback
There was little corporate news of significance in the portfolio
although during the month the Company commenced the repurchase of
shares under the share buyback policy set out in the Company's
prospectus dated 26 January 2015. Under the policy, the Company
will calculate the aggregate net cash proceeds of realisation over
the immediately preceding six month period. If the Ordinary Shares
are trading at a discount in excess of 15 per cent. to their Net
Asset Value, the Board intends to allocate at least 50% of such
realisation proceeds (less the aggregate value of any Ordinary
Shares already bought back during the preceding six month period)
to buy back its own Ordinary Shares.
During August 2015, the Company repurchased 700,000 Ordinary
Shares at 20 pence per share, representing a discount of over 50%
to the NAV per share at 31 July 2015. To date less than 20% of the
funds allocated to the buyback have been utilised and the programme
will recommence following the release of this NAV Statement.
