Dacha Reports Net Income of US$0.94 Per Share and Financial Results for the Six Months Ending September 30, 2011

Marketwire - Nov 24 07:15 EDT

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/24/11 -- Dacha Strategic Metals Inc. ("Dacha" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: DSM)(OTCQX: DCHAF) is pleased to announce that it has released its interim financial results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011. For more information please see the Company's interim financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") posted on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Dacha reported net earnings of US$70.8 million or US$0.94 per basic share for the six months ended September 30, 2011 from total revenue of US$77.5 million (US$80.1 million from gain on its metal investments offset by US$2.6 million loss on security investments). For the six months ending September 30, 2010, Dacha reported net income of US$3.6 million or US$0.05 per basic share from total revenue of US$7.5 million (US$6.9 million from gain on its metal investments offset by US$0.4 million loss on security investments).

As of September 30, 2011, its metals inventory, with a cost basis of US$20.5 million, had an estimated market value of US$121.0 million. During the six months ended September 30, 2011, Dacha purchased US$3.1 million of metals and disposed of US$3.9 million of metals for realized profit of approximately US$3.0 million. A physical inventory count was also conducted by the Company's auditors with the Company's entire inventory held at Pacorini Metals, in two separate LME approved warehouses in Busan, Korea. Subsequent to the quarter end Dacha has opened a third warehouse in Singapore, also operated by Pacorini Metals.

Dacha's net assets at September 30th are US$125.3 million or US$1.60 per share based on 78.1 million shares outstanding, or, US$1.37 per share on a fully diluted basis of 98.7 million shares outstanding.

Outlook on Rare Earth Market and Hong Kong Rare Earth Conference update

Dacha attended the Roskill Rare Earth conference in Hong Kong last week to meet with existing customers, potential new customers and industry participants. A major theme from the conference is the severe impact of flooding in Thailand on two significant users of rare earth magnets, namely Japanese auto makers and the Hard Disk Drive manufacturers. This has severely weakened an already slow market as Japan draws down inventories in hopes of falling prices.

The lack of export buying has the potential to impact export quotas for 2012. Speculation in Hong Kong had the year end use as much as 10,000 tonnes short of the quota. Industry participants would not be surprised if 2012 quotas were reduced in the first half of 2012.

In addition to potentially lower export quotas, the consolidation of the Rare Earth market continues inside China and the number of exporters with quotas is expected to fall from the current 26. Chinese rare earth mining and processing seems to be headed for an oligopoly situation with much of the industry falling under the control of a few state owned enterprises.

2012 Export Quotas and approved exporters will likely be released sometime around Christmas with the Lunar New Year falling on January 23rd in 2012.

Normal Course Issuer Bid

During the six months ended September 30, 2011, the Company purchased and cancelled 3,450,000 common shares at an average cost of $0.91. Subsequent to September 30, 2011, an additional 1,300,000 common shares have been purchased for cancellation at an average cost of $0.62. Dacha expects to continue to purchase shares over the remainder of the fiscal year, depending on market conditions and other investment opportunities that may be available.

10 bagger,

We were shareholders until about March of this year when we needed to raise some cash. After tax loss season this year we are considering buying a few shares again.
It seems that this is a very under-valued stock with 6 month earnings of $0.94/share ,a recent net asset value of $1.37, and closed on Wednesday 11/23/11 in the U S at $0.4798.
We don't understand why the shares trade at such a discount. Is it because the market is afraid that the value of and demand for Rare Earths will plunge in the near future?

DCHAF,, $0.55.. Dacha Reports Assets of US$1.62 Per Share With Inventory Valued at US$121.0 Million as of September 30, 2011 and Provides Com...

Dacha Strategic Metals Inc. ("Dacha" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:DSM)(OTCQX:DCHAF) is pleased to announce the estimated market value of its Rare Earth metals inventory. As of September 30, 2011, the estimated value of its metals inventory was US$121.0 million, a decrease of US$14.2 million, or 10.5%, from the estimated value of US$135.2 million at August 31, 2011, as reported in the Company's September 2, 2011 press release.

Assets include metal inventory, cash and marketable securities. At September 30, 2011, in addition to its metal inventory, which had an estimated fair market value of US$121.0 million, the Company's equity investments had an estimated fair market value of approximately US$1.9 million and cash of approximately US$3.3 million for a total of US$126.2 million, or US$1.62 per share, based on 78.1 million shares outstanding, or, US$1.37 per share on a fully diluted basis of 98.7 million shares outstanding.

Company Update

Dacha continues to execute under its Normal Course Issuer Bid and has purchased 1.4 million shares for cancellation since its AGM on September 15th, 2011. As of September 30, 2011, the Company has purchased and cancelled a total of 3,450,000 shares of Dacha at an average price of $0.91 as part of its on-going Normal Course Issuer Bid.

Dacha notes that the market has reacted strongly to the recent pullback in rare earth prices, with Dacha's share price dropping approximately 30% while its inventory value fell only 10% over the same period from the Company's last net asset value update on August 30th 2011. Dacha believes the severe curtailment of heavy rare earth mining and separation combined with speculators exiting the market will have a significant positive influence on heavy rare earth prices in the next 90 days. Moreover, while Asian buyers have been relatively inactive in the market since August, the Company has seen a rise in inquiries in the last two weeks. Dacha maintains its inventory in two London Metal Exchange warehouses in Korea owned and operated by Pacorini Metals, a Glencore company. The Company's inventory is physically audited at the end of each quarter and its auditors were on site on September 30th.

As at September 30, 2011, Dacha's physical inventory portfolio consisted as follows:

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 09/14/11 -- Dacha Strategic Metals Inc. ("Dacha" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: DSM)(OTCQX: DCHAF) is pleased to announce that it has released its interim financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2011. For more information please see the Company's interim financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") which are filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Dacha reported net earnings of US$57.8 million or US$0.79 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from total revenue of US$60.3 million (US$61.6 million from gain on its metal investments offset by US$1.4 million loss on security investments). For the three months ending June 30, 2010, Dacha reported net income of US$0.2 million or US$0.00 per share from total revenue of US$1.4 million (US$1.7 million from gain on its metal investments offset by US$0.5 million loss on security investments).

The June 30, 2011 financial statements mark the Company's first quarter reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Along with the transition to IFRS, the Company has changed its functional and reporting currency to the US dollar.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company's metals inventory, with a cost basis of US$20.5 million, had an estimated market value of US$102.7 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, Dacha purchased US$3.1 million of metals and disposed of US$3.8 million of metals for realized profit of approximately US$3.0 million.

Outlook on Rare Earth Pricing

Dacha has noted a significant upward trend in heavy rare earth prices since its March 31 year end as a result of fundamental changes to the mining and refining in the domestic Chinese rare earth market, which has affected prices both domestically and internationally. In the last 60 days, pricing has declined slightly in both markets, which the Company believes is primarily the result of speculators, who may have obtained material outside of authorized production channels, moving material out of inventory. Mining and refining of heavy rare earths in southern China, the major source of all heavy rare earths globally, has undergone a substantial restructuring in 2011. Production quotas for the mining and refining of rare earths are also being enforced for the first time. China Minmetals announcement in early August of the voluntary shutdown of its South China separation facilities seems to have gone largely unnoticed by the investing public but has a significant impact of the availability of material for the balance of this year. Although the capital market does not appear to have reacted to recent announcements in early August as to the voluntary shutdown of certain South China separation facilities, this change appears to have a significant impact on the availability of material from China for the balance of the year.

With production quotas being enforced for the mining and refining of rare earths and the substantial reduction in production capacity, Dacha expects that the rare earth oxide market this fall will experience a significant shortfall in available material which could cause a rebound in rare earths prices, particularly for heavy rare earth oxides, which will have an effect on the value of the metals held in our inventory.

Normal Course Issuer Bid

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, Dacha commenced a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") that will terminate on June 3, 2012. During the quarter, the Company purchased and cancelled 175,000 common shares at an average cost of CAD$0.79. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, an additional 1,950,000 common shares have been purchased for cancellation at an average cost of CAD$1.08. Dacha expects to continue to purchase shares over the remainder of the fiscal year, depending on market conditions and other investment opportunities that may be available.

Dacha Comments on China Rare Earth Quotas for Second Half of 2011

Marketwire - Jul 14 at 13:38POS ska

Company Symbols: TorontoVE:DSM


TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/14/11 -- Dacha Strategic Metals Inc. ("Dacha" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: DSM)(OTCQX: DCHAF) The Ministry of Commerce People's Republic of China (MOFCOM) announced today that Rare Earth export quotas for the second half of 2011 will be 15,738 tonnes, which represents an increase of 8.9% over the first half of 2011. This increase is contrary to expectations from the international market which was previously forecasting a 5-10% cut in quotas in line with the ongoing Chinese domestic policy balance between domestic demand and international demand. Domestic producers were likewise expecting a substantial reduction in quotas for the second half of 2011. The recent negative World Trade Organization ruling (July 5, 2011) on Chinese quotas of Coke and Bauxite may have played a part in this unexpected increase over the first half quota number.

It is only in the last year that Rare Earth export quotas come to have an actual monetary value and this has contributed to substantial increases in the international pricing of light rare earth elements such as Lanthanum and Cerium since last July. Surcharges for export quotas are currently approximately US$100 per kg regardless of the specific element being exported. An example of the impact of the quota surcharge can be seen in Lanthanum oxide where the domestic price is approximately US$23 per kg while international pricing is US$150 per kg. In addition, all rare earth oxides and alloys are subject to a 25% export tariff.

In the heavy rare earth elements such as Dysprosium and Terbium, the quota surcharge has very limited effect on pricing. Terbium pricing domestically is now quoted at approximately US$3230 per kg which would equate to approximately US$4040 per kg once the 25% tariff charge is applied. In the case of these elements a quota surcharge of $100 per kilogram is less than 2% of the value of the material.

Dacha's inventory value of US$132.1 million as at July 11th is currently weighted at 90% between Terbium and Dysprosium, or a total of US$118.7.

The recently mandated consolidation of producers and other supply constraints continue in Southern China, which is the largest supplier of Heavy Rare Earth Oxides and supplier offers in the Domestic market continue to increase. According to Metal Pages (July 11, 2011), an independent news source for the industry, some suppliers are quoting Terbium at prices as high as RMB32,000 per kg, which would imply an international price of approximately US$6,100 per kg prior to the value which would be attached for the quota surcharge.

Despite an increase in quotas for Rare Earth Elements, Dacha expects further price increases for heavy rare earth elements to continue for the rest of 2011 based on the continued supply constraints in southern China and a robust market in the fall, which has historically been the strongest demand quarter for Rare Earth Oxides. However, there may be some difficulty in exporters maintaining the quota surcharge at its current level and there may be pullback in the international prices for light rare earths such as Cerium and Lanthanum - two elements which are not included in Dacha's portfolio of physical Rare Earth Elements.

I plan to write about it and that should hopefully get it more attention.

Finished building my position and got it at a higher price than I wanted but the current price is still cheap.

Plus these rare earth metals that Dacha hold will continue to go up in price as long as China has a stranglehold on the market.

[big_otis]

Dacha Business Model


Dacha is structured as a tax efficient, diversified vehicle that allows investors to participate in the long term appreciation of strategic Rare Earth elements and other critical Minor Metals. These materials will be stockpiled in geographically diversified warehouses that are LME (London Metal Exchange) or MMTA (Minor Metals Trade Association) approved in order to ensure the highest quality of service in storage handling. Dacha shareholders will benefit from the following trends:
•Rising values of strategic Rare Earth elements such as Dy, Tb, Eu, Y, Gd, Pr and Nd
•The growing strategic premium for having critical materials in politically neutral countries
•The expected spot volatility trading opportunities that will present themselves to the only publicly funded financial participant
•A diversified basket of hard assets as opposed to a single element approach
•Professional management critical to obtaining and managing the portfolio in difficult to access markets
•Focused exposure to specific physical strategic commodities rather than mining deposits and their associated risk profile
Dacha is ideal for the investor who recognizes the importance of these unique commodities that are driving Green Technology and Advanced Materials into everyday products, without the mining and execution risk.

Overview of Dacha
Dacha Capital Inc. is a unique company that acts as a financial intermediary between investors and the inefficient, difficult to access markets of strategic commodities. We participate in a very direct manner by purchasing physical inventories of commodities that qualify under our investment thesis. Our investment thesis utilizes an intensive screening system to identify opportunities by measuring such factors as supply side response, diversification of demand base, demand/supply fundamentals, substitution risk, technology risk, and their strategic nature within the value chain etc.

Our mandate is to give investors the most pure source of exposure to undervalued commodities. Therefore, we do not regularly engage in significant sales. Instead, we recognize that there is value in trading a small portion of the inventory to take advantage of volatile spot markets. Our overall goal is to remain invested in strategic commodities.
