TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 23, 2012) - Dacha
Strategic Metals Inc. ("Dacha" or the
"Company")Singapore at a price of US$1,750 per kg
for gross proceeds of US$5,075,000. Based on the original
purchase price of US$309.60 per kg, the Company realized a
pre-tax gain of $4.1 million. As at March 31 2012, Dacha held
Lutetium at a mark-to-market price of $1,600 per kg.
This transaction marks the 13th consecutive sale of inventory
by Dacha above its mark to market carrying value of its
inventory.
Scott Moore, President and CEO commented, "Dacha has
continually provided investors with a transparent valuation
of its inventory based on the published pricing available in
Metal Pages and Asian Metals. In addition Dacha has a
consistent track record of selling inventory above the
carrying value of the inventory at the time. This transaction
should further reinforce to shareholders that our inventory
has realizable value at or above its published value and that
the current discount attributed to our share price is not
reflective of the true value of the NAV".
As at March 31, 2012 Dacha's inventory was valued at
$84.8 million or Net Assets of $1.16 per share.
