GPM is at a discount to NAV of about 15% but mostly invested in bigger precious metals companies.

At some point when commodity prices recover this will be very good value!

[rogerbridge] 09/10/2015 16:24

Turning around on huge discount, providing commodities continue their recovery.

Net Asset Value

Baker Steel Resources Trust Limited (the "Company") announces its unaudited net asset value per share at 29 May 2015:

Net asset value per Ordinary Share: 45.5 pence

Since 30 April 2015, the NAV per share has risen by 2.2% largely due to a 36% recovery in the price of Metals Exploration plc on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. This follows the clearing out of a motivated seller of the stock in April, and as Metal Exploration's Runruno gold project in the Philippines remains on target to start commissioning its plant later this month, interest has started to be generated in the Company.

Could they not simply liquidate the company and return circa 40 pence, could be worth buying at these levels then imo

Baker Steel targeting £100mln and calling bottom of commodity cycle? See

[rcturner2] 04/12/2014 09:37

One day the resource investment trusts will be a big bargain, since as prices crash they will move to bigger and bigger discounts so when the rebound comes it will be massive. However, I think we are still quite a way off from that, especially when it has just shed 10% NAV in a month. But apparently they think we have reached the bottom? Hard to take seriously.

DEAL BEING RENEGOTIATED?
Asset value down but across the market issues and still a big premium to share price. At some point this will recover, but now looks a "long term lock-away" rather than a short term trade.

[ptolemy] 20/11/2014 13:56

Price ticking up..but I don't like this bot of the release:

"It is proposed that the consideration for the acquisition of the Assets will be satisfied by the issue of new equity in the Company, such equity to be valued at the prevailing net asset value in respect of unlisted assets being acquired and at a 15% discount to the prevailing net asset value in respect of listed assets being acquired."

Given some (all?) of the to be acquired names are already held by the fund and it trades at a 40% discount, buying more at a 15% discount does not appear sound...

[rcturner2] 10/11/2014 13:36

I am not keen on the statement about nearing the bottom of the commodity super cycle. What evidence do they have to back that up?

[kimboy2] 10/11/2014 13:23

Looks a very good deal to me if they can pull off the fund raising and get the acquisitions at the right price.

[pugugly] 10/11/2014 11:06

almac999:> Your last line has put the finger on it - Very much (imo) depends on the competence of management - An aquisition of "such equity to be valued at the prevailing net asset value in respect of unlisted assets being acquired" is (imo) far too generous unless some real undisclosed gems in the mix -

[fangorn2] 07/11/2014 12:01

That's a far better performance NAV wise than expected - a wind up given such a large discount, and the volatility in commodity markets might be a good idea. But just how "Liquid" are BSRT's top 10 holdings? Not very i'd expect looking at the companies.

[bench2] 06/11/2014 22:05

Given the continued fall in commodity prices an NAV end Oct of 51.5p is quite a result only down 2.3% on the month (30 Sept 52.7p ) . I agree with MF not viable in the long term , but could be a profitable wind up at current price of 28p , a 46% discount to NAV . A 45p liquidation value would garner a 60% profit from here , not to be sniffed at !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fangorn2] 05/11/2014 16:42

Am expecting Nav to have dropped again given that the value of one of it's largest stake has collapsed.

Ivanhoe Mines.
See it's up 13.5% to just under a loonie today so illusrates just how far it'd fallen (was C$0.81 yesterday!! Recall it was around C$1,50 not too long ago)

[mad foetus] 05/11/2014 15:31

I would have thought the board must seriously be thinking of winding this up: the fees are linked to the market cap and it is going to be very difficult to sustain the work a closed ended fund of this sort requires (visiting mines, meeting management etc) on £300k pa.

[bench2] 05/11/2014 15:24

Even bigger discount now . We are waiting for the 31 Oct NAV which should be announced tomorrow .

[flying pig] 01/10/2014 07:00

Huge discount of c 40% after recent fall to c33p. Eventually the price will respond and value will out -(I hope)

[flying pig] 12/8/2014 07:29

Modest increase in asset value, share price stagnant, even better value in the longer term. Now if the share value increased at the same rate each month ..... 84p this time next year +53%.
