Net Asset Value

Baker Steel Resources Trust Limited (the "Company") announces its unaudited net asset value per share at 31 October 2022:

Net asset value per Ordinary Share: 78.3 pence.

The NAV per share has decreased by 2.6% against the unaudited NAV at 30 September 2022 largely due to the fall in the listed value of Tungsten West Plc which is due to release the results of its updated Feasibility Study on its Hemerdon Tungsten Mine later this month.

The Company had a total of 106,462,502 Ordinary Shares in issue with a further 700,000 shares held in treasury as at 31 October 2022.

Bilboes Gold Limited ("Bilboes")

As announced on 21 July 2022, the Company and the other shareholders of Bilboes agreed to sell Bilboes to NYSE, AIM and Victoria Falls Exchange listed gold producer Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc ("Caledonia"). The Company's share of the consideration for its 24.2% shareholding in Bilboes will be 800,000 shares in Caledonia together with a 1% net smelter royalty ("NSR") over the future gold production from the Bilboes properties. The processes to achieve the required Zimbabwean Government approvals are progressing satisfactorily.

On 2 November 2022, Caledonia announced that it acquired the Motapa gold property ("Motapa") which comprises a licence area of approximately 2,200 hectares and is contiguous to the Bilboes gold project area. During the time that Anglo American Zimbabwe owned Bilboes before its buyout by the current management, it also owned and explored Motapa demonstrating its prospectivity. The combination of Bilboes and Motapa has the potential to create a Tier 1 gold project.
