Dacha Cautions Shareholders Not to Let Danny Guy’s Salida Capital Hijack Their Company

Dacha Strategic Metals Inc. (“Dacha” or the “Company”) (TSX
VENTURE:DSM) (OTCQX:DCHAF) today cautioned all shareholders that
Salida Capital LP (“Salida”), led by founder Danny Guy, acting
together with Goodwood Inc. (“Goodwood”) is attempting to force a
coercive, nil-premium takeover of the Company. Salida is among a
group of dissident investors that are seeking to replace the entire
Dacha board with seven connected nominees with no rare earth
elements experience at the annual and special meeting of Dacha
shareholders, to be held on November 28, 2012.
Dacha believes that Danny Guy, Salida and Goodwood are
attempting to hijack the Company because of their own failed
investment strategies. For example, Salida has a track record of
underperforming benchmarks, presiding over significant investor
losses over the past five years. As of September 30, 2012, Salida
Strategic Growth Fund had lost 43.98%, 52.94% and 60.05% of its
value for the one, three and five year periods, respectively, under
the management of founder Danny Guy. Likewise, Salida Wealth
Preservation Fund was down 10.13% for the one year period as of
that date. (1)
Scott Moore, Dacha President and CEO, said, “Under Danny Guy’s
leadership, Salida’s negative performance record speaks for itself.
With no rare earth elements experience and questionable track
records, the entire Goodwood and Salida group of nominees present
tremendous risk to the future of Dacha. We urge Dacha shareholders
not to hand the Company over to Salida and Goodwood. Dacha’s
nominees, including Jim Rogers, have the experience and skills to
best represent the interests of all Dacha shareholders and we urge
shareholders to support them today.”
Dacha also noted that on November 6, 2012, Dacha commenced a
court proceeding against Goodwood Inc., Salida Capital LP, Takota
Asset Management Inc. and Longford Energy Inc. (collectively, the
“Parties”), which have declared that they exercise direction and
control in the aggregate over 31.5% of the outstanding shares of
Dacha. The court application alleges that the Parties were “acting
jointly or in concert” within the meaning of s. 91(1) of the
Securities Act during their acquisition of common shares of Dacha
without complying with the formal take-over bid and early warning
requirements of Part XX of the Securities Act. Dacha seeks, among
other things, an order of the court that the Parties violated Part
XX of the Securities Act, by failing to make a formal take-over bid
in accordance with section 94 of the Securities Act.
All shareholders of record as of October 15, 2012 are entitled
to vote at the annual meeting, regardless of the number of shares
held. Dacha encourages all shareholders to carefully review its
Management Information Circular and other materials and vote only
their BLUE Proxy by no later
than Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) in
advance of the proxy voting deadline. We urge you to discard any
Proxy sent to you by Goodwood or its affiliates. Even a vote
against the dissident nominees on Goodwood’s Proxy will cancel any
previous Proxy submitted by you.
