the Prospectus Supplement dated April 6, 2023

TO THE SHORT FORM BASE SHELF PROSPECTUS DATED APRIL 6, 2023

New Issue December 6, 2024

Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust

Up to U.S.$250,000,000 Trust Units

This document amends and restates the prospectus supplement of Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust (the "Trust") dated April 6, 2023, and accordingly, the information in this amended and restated prospectus supplement (this "prospectus supplement") supersedes the information contained in the prospectus supplement of the Trust dated April 6, 2023.

The Trust is hereby qualifying for distribution the offering (the "offering") of transferable, redeemable units of the Trust (the "trust units" or "units of the Trust", and each a "trust unit") having an aggregate offering price of up to U.S.$250,000,000 (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars determined using the daily exchange rate posted by the Bank of Canada on the date the trust units are sold). Each trust unit represents an equal, fractional, undivided ownership interest in the net assets of the Trust attributable to the particular class of trust units. The Trust entered into an amended and restated sales agreement dated November 2, 2020, as amended by an amending agreement dated April 6, 2023 among the Trust, the Manager, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. ("CF&Co"), Virtu Americas LLC ("Virtu") and Virtu Canada Corp. ("Virtu Canada") relating to trust units offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. On December 6, 2024, the Trust, the Manager, Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corporation ("Cantor Canada"), Virtu Canada, BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. ("BMO Canada"), Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("Canaccord Canada" and, together with Cantor Canada, Virtu Canada and BMO Canada, the "Canadian Agents"), CF&Co, Virtu, Canaccord Genuity LLC ("Canaccord"), BMO Capital Markets Corp. ("BMO", and together with CF&Co, Virtu and Canaccord, the "U.S. Agents", and, the U.S. Agents together with the Canadian Agents, the "Agents") entered into an amended and restated sales agreement pursuant to which, among other things, Cantor Canada, BMO, BMO Canada, Canaccord and Canaccord Canada became sales agents of trust units under and subject to the terms and conditions of the sales agreement (the "sales agreement").

In accordance with the sales agreement, and except as noted below, the Trust may distribute trust units having an aggregate offering price of up to U.S.$250,000,000 through the Agents, as its agents for the distribution of the trust units. See "Plan of Distribution" beginning on page S-11 of this prospectus supplement for more information regarding these arrangements.

The Trust has not sold any trust units pursuant to the prospectus supplement dated April 6, 2023.

The Agents will receive a cash fee of up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds realized from the sale of the trust units for services rendered in connection with the offering. See "Plan of Distribution". As described in the section entitled "Use of Proceeds", the net proceeds of the offering will be used by the Trust to acquire physical gold bullion and silver bullion in accordance with the Trust's objective and subject to the Trust's investment and operating restrictions described herein.

The Trust estimates the total expenses of the offering, excluding the Agents' fee, will be approximately U.S.$75,000, which costs may be borne by the Manager. Each time trust units are issued and sold under this prospectus supplement, the Trust will reimburse the Manager for expenses paid by it in respect of that drawdown, but only to the extent there is a sufficient premium as determined by the Manager between the net asset value (the "NAV") per trust unit and the market price at which each such trust unit is sold under the offering.

No underwriter or dealer involved in the offering, no affiliate of such underwriter or dealer, and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with an underwriter or dealer, may, in connection with the offering, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the trust units or securities of the same class as the trust units under this prospectus supplement, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of trust units that would result in the underwriter or dealer creating an over-allocation position in the trust units.

The U.S. Agents are not registered as dealers in any Canadian jurisdiction and, accordingly, the U.S. Agents will only sell trust units on marketplaces in the United States and are not permitted to and will not, directly or indirectly, advertise or solicit offers to purchase any of the trust units in Canada. The Canadian Agents may only sell trust units on marketplaces in Canada.

Sales of trust units, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus will be made in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in National Instrument 44-102 - Shelf Distributions ("NI 44-102"),

(continued on next page)​

(continued from cover)

consisting of sales made directly on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") and the NYSE Arca or on any other "marketplace" as such term is defined in National Instrument 21-101 - Marketplace Operation ("NI 21-101") in Canada and the United States. The trust units will be distributed at market prices prevailing at the time of the sale of such trust units. As a result, prices may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution. There is no minimum amount of funds that must be raised under the offering. This means that the offering may terminate after raising only a portion of the offering amount set out above, or none at all. The U.S. Agents will sell trust units on marketplaces in the United States. The Canadian Agents will sell trust units on marketplaces in Canada. See "Plan of Distribution".

The trust units offered by this prospectus supplement have been approved for listing on the NYSE Arca and on the TSX. The trust units are listed and posted for trading on the NYSE Arca under the symbol "CEF" and on the TSX under the symbols "CEF" ​(Canadian dollar denominated) and "CEF.U" ​(U.S. dollar denominated). On December 5, 2024, the last trading day prior to the date hereof, the closing price of the trust units on the NYSE Arca was U.S.$24.58 and the closing price of the trust units on the TSX was Cdn$34.50. On December 5, 2024, the total NAV of the Trust and the NAV per unit of the Trust were U.S.$5,183,809,605.54 and U.S.$25.7062, respectively.

The Trust is not a trust company and does not carry on business as a trust company and, accordingly, the Trust is not registered under the trust company legislation of any jurisdiction. Trust units are not "deposits" within the meaning of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (Canada) and are not insured under provisions of that Act or any other legislation.

TRUST UNITS HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "SEC") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATOR NOR HAS THE SEC OR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATOR PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

The Trust is permitted, under a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States (the "MJDS"), to prepare this prospectus supplement in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States. The Trust prepares its financial statements, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, ("IFRS"). These financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States issuers.

Purchasing the trust units may subject you to tax consequences both in the United States and Canada. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may not describe these tax consequences fully. You should read the tax discussion in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus.

Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws or securities laws of other relevant jurisdictions may be affected adversely because the Trust is a mutual fund trust established under the laws of the Province of Ontario. Each of the Trust, the Manager, and Sprott Asset Management GP Inc. (the "GP"), which is the general partner of the Manager, is organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, and the Trust's trustee, RBC Investor Services Trust (the "Trustee"), is organized under the federal laws of Canada, and all of their executive offices and substantially all of the administrative activities and a majority of their assets are located outside the United States. In addition, the directors and officers of the Trustee and the GP are residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of the assets of those persons are or may be located outside the United States.

Whitney George, a director of the GP, resides outside of Canada. Mr. George has appointed the Trust, located at Royal Bank Plaza, South Tower, 200 Bay Street, Suite 2600, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2J1, as his agent for service of process in Canada. It may not be possible for you to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person that resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process.

See "Risk Factors" in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus for a discussion of certain considerations relevant to an investment in the trust units offered hereby.

The registered and head office of the Trust is located at Royal Bank Plaza, South Tower, 200 Bay Street, Suite 2600, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2J1.

In addition, the Trust is not required to publish financial statements as promptly as United States companies.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Each of the Trust, the Manager, and the GP is organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, and the Trustee is organized under the federal laws of Canada, and all of their executive offices and substantially all of the administrative activities and a majority of their assets are located outside the United States. In addition, the directors and officers of the Trustee and the GP are residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of the assets of those persons are or may be located in such jurisdictions.

As a result, you may have difficulty serving legal process within your jurisdiction upon any of the Trust, the Trustee, the Manager or the GP or any of their directors or officers, as applicable, or enforcing judgments obtained in courts in your jurisdiction against any of them or the assets of any of them located outside your jurisdiction, or enforcing against them in the appropriate Canadian court judgments obtained in courts of your jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States, or bringing an original action in the appropriate Canadian courts to enforce liabilities against the Trust, the Trustee, the Manager, the GP or any of their directors or officers, as applicable, based upon the United States federal securities laws.

In the United States, the Trust and the Trustee each filed with the SEC, concurrently with the Trust's registration statement on Form F-10, an appointment of agent for service of process on separate Forms F-X. Under such Forms F-X, each of the Trust and the Trustee appointed Puglisi & Associates, 850 Library Avenue, Suite 204, Newark, Delaware 19711, as its agent for service of process.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The statements contained in this prospectus supplement, including any documents incorporated by reference, that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements. The Trust's forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding its or its management's expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words "anticipates", "believe", "continue", "could", "estimate", "expect", "intends", "may", "might", "plan", "possible", "potential", "predicts", "project", "should", "would" and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement may include, for example, statements about:

•

trading of the trust units issued pursuant to this offering on the NYSE Arca or the TSX;

​

•

the Trust's objectives and strategies to achieve the objectives; and

​

•

the gold and silver industries, sources of and demand for physical gold and silver bullion, and the performance of the gold and silver markets.

​

The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement, including any document incorporated by reference, are based on the Trust's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Trust. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Trust will be those that it has anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Trust's control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking

statements. These risks, uncertainties and assumptions include those factors described under the heading "Risk Factors" in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as well as, without limitation, the following:

•

success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, the officers or key employees of the Manager; and

​

•

success in obtaining physical gold bullion and silver bullion in a timely manner and allocating such gold and silver.

​

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the Trust's assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. The Trust undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

The Trust has received relief from certain provisions of National Instrument 81-102 - Investment Funds ("NI 81-102"), and, as such, the Trust is not subject to certain of the policies and regulations of the Canadian Securities Administrators that apply to other mutual funds.

The Trust's registered office is located at Royal Bank Plaza, South Tower, 200 Bay Street, Suite 2600, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 2J1. The Manager acts as the manager of the Trust pursuant to the Trust Agreement and a management agreement with the Trust.

The Trustee also acts as custodian on behalf of the Trust for the Trust's assets other than physical gold and silver bullion. The Royal Canadian Mint (the "Mint") acts as custodian on behalf of the Trust for the physical gold bullion and silver bullion owned by the Trust.

Management of the Trust

The Manager

Sprott Asset Management LP is the Manager of the Trust. The Manager acts as the manager of the Trust pursuant to the Trust Agreement and a management agreement between the Trust and the Manager dated October 26, 2017. The Manager is a limited partnership formed and organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, pursuant to the Limited Partnerships Act (Ontario) by declaration dated as of September 17, 2008. The general partner of the Manager is the GP, which is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, on September 17, 2008. The GP is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sprott Inc., which is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, on February 13, 2008. Sprott Inc. is also the sole limited partner of the Manager. Sprott Inc. is a public company whose common shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSX and the NYSE under the symbol "SII". See "Responsibility for Operation of the Trust - The Manager" in the AIF for further information.

As of September 30, 2024, the Manager, together with its affiliates and related entities, had assets under management totaling approximately U.S.$33.4 billion and provided management and investment advisory services to many entities, including private investment funds, exchange-listed products, mutual funds and discretionary managed accounts. The Manager also acts as: (A) manager of (i) the Sprott Physical Uranium

Trust, a non-redeemable investment fund whose trust units are listed and posted on the TSX that invests and holds substantially all of its assets in physical uranium, (ii) the Sprott Physical Silver Trust, a closed-end mutual fund trust whose trust units are listed and posted for trading on the TSX and the NYSE Arca that invests and holds substantially all of its assets in physical silver bullion, (iii) the Sprott Physical Copper Trust, a closed-end trust whose trust units are listed and posted for trading on the TSX that invests and holds substantially all of its assets in physical copper, (iv) the Sprott Physical Gold Trust, a closed-end mutual fund trust whose units are listed and posted for trading on the TSX and the NYSE Arca that invests and holds substantially all of its assets in physical gold bullion, and (v) the Sprott Physical Platinum and Palladium Trust, a closed-end mutual fund trust whose units are listed and posted for trading on the TSX and the NYSE Arca that invests and holds substantially all of its assets in physical platinum and palladium bullion; and (B) sub-advisor for certain funds managed by Ninepoint LP, a Canadian public mutual fund manager.

The Manager is responsible for the day-to-day business and administration of the Trust, including management of the Trust's portfolio and all clerical, administrative and operational services. The Trust maintains a public website that contains information about the Trust and the trust units. The internet address of the website is https://sprott.com/investment-strategies/physical-bullion-trusts/. This internet address is provided here only as a convenience to you, and the information contained on or connected to the website is not incorporated into, and does not form part of, this prospectus supplement.

Business of the Trust

Investment Objectives of the Trust

The Trust was created in connection with the acquisition of common shares of Central Fund of Canada Limited ("CFCL") and the right to administer and manage CFCL's assets and to invest and hold substantially all of its assets in physical gold bullion and silver bullion. Many investors are unwilling to invest directly in physical gold bullion and silver bullion due to inconveniences such as transaction, handling, storage, insurance and other costs that are typical of a direct investment in physical gold bullion and silver bullion. The Trust seeks to provide a secure, convenient and exchange-traded investment alternative for investors interested in holding physical gold bullion and silver bullion without the inconvenience that is typical of a direct investment in physical gold bullion and silver bullion. The Trust invests primarily in long-term holdings of unencumbered, fully allocated, physical gold bullion and silver bullion and will not speculate with regard to short-term changes in gold and silver prices. The Trust does not anticipate making regular cash distributions to unitholders.

Investment Strategies of the Trust

The Trust is expressly prohibited from investing in units or shares of other investment funds or collective investment schemes other than money market mutual funds and then only to the extent that its interest does not exceed 10% of the total net assets of the Trust.

The Trust may not borrow funds except under limited circumstances as set out in NI 81-102 and, in any event, not in excess of 10% of the total net assets of the Trust.

Borrowing Arrangements

As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the Trust has no borrowing arrangements in place and is unleveraged. The Trust has historically not used leverage and the Manager has no intention of doing so in the future (save for the short term borrowings to settle trades). Unitholders will be notified of any changes to the Trust's use of leverage.

Trustee

The Trustee, a trust company organized under the federal laws of Canada, is the trustee of the Trust. The Trustee holds title to the Trust's assets and has, together with the Manager, exclusive authority over the assets and affairs of the Trust. The Trustee has a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of the unitholders.

The Custodians

The Trust employs two custodians. The Mint acts as custodian for the Trust's physical gold bullion and silver bullion pursuant to the gold and silver storage agreement (the "Gold and Silver Storage Agreement").

The Mint is a Canadian Crown corporation, which acts as an agent of the Canadian Government, and its obligations generally constitute unconditional obligations of the Canadian Government. The Mint is responsible for and bears all risk of the loss of, and damage to, the Trust's physical gold bullion and silver bullion that is in the Mint's custody, subject to certain limitations, including events beyond the Mint's control and proper notice by the Manager.

The Trustee acts as custodian on behalf of the Trust for the Trust's assets other than physical gold bullion and silver bullion. The Trustee is only responsible for the Trust's assets that are directly held by it, its affiliates or appointed sub-custodians.

Under the Trust Agreement the Manager, with the consent of the Trustee, may determine to change the custodial arrangements of the Trust.

RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully the risks described below and in the "Risk Factors" beginning on page 12 of the accompanying prospectus, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, before making an investment decision. You should also refer to the other information included and incorporated by reference herein, including but not limited to, the AIF, the Annual Financial Statements, the Annual MRFP, the Interim Financial Statements and the Interim MRFP that are incorporated by reference herein. See "Documents Incorporated by Reference".

The Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") tax treatment of realized gains and losses.

The CRA has expressed the opinion that gains (or losses) resulting from certain transactions in commodities should generally be treated for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act") as being derived from an adventure in the nature in trade, so that, subject to the particular facts, such transactions give rise to ordinary income rather than capital gains. As the Manager intends for the Trust to be a long-term holder of physical gold and silver bullion and does not anticipate that the Trust will sell its physical gold and/or silver bullion (otherwise than where necessary to fund expenses of the Trust), the Manager anticipates that the Trust generally will treat gains (or losses) as a result of dispositions of physical gold and/or silver bullion as capital gains (or capital losses). If any transactions of the Trust are reported by it on capital account but are subsequently determined by the CRA to be on income account, there may be an increase in the net income of the Trust for tax purposes and the taxable component of any amounts distributed to unitholders, with the result that Canadian-resident unitholders could be reassessed by the CRA to increase their taxable income by the amount of such increase, and non-resident unitholders potentially could be assessed directly by the CRA for Canadian withholding tax on the amount of net gains on such transactions that were treated by the CRA as having been distributed to them. The CRA can assess the Trust for a failure of the Trust to withhold tax on distributions made by it to non-resident unitholders that are subject to withholding tax, and typically would do so rather than assessing the non-resident unitholders directly. Accordingly, any such re-determination by the CRA may result in the Trust being liable for unremitted withholding taxes on prior distributions made to unitholders who were not resident in Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act at the time of the distribution.

If the Trust experiences a "loss restriction event" it could result in unintended tax consequences for unitholders.

The Tax Act contains loss restriction rules that could result in unintended tax consequences for unitholders, including an unscheduled allocation of income or capital gains that must be included in a unitholder's income for Canadian income tax purposes. If the Trust experiences a "loss restriction event", it will: (i) be deemed to have a year-end for Canadian tax purposes whether or not the Trust has losses (which would trigger an allocation of the Trust's net income and net realized capital gains to unitholders to ensure that the Trust itself is not subject to tax on such amounts); and (ii) the Trust will become subject to the Canadian loss restriction rules that generally apply to corporations, including a deemed realization of any unrealized capital losses and disallowance of its ability to carry forward capital losses. Generally, the Trust will be subject to a loss restriction event if a person becomes a "majority-interest beneficiary", or a group of persons becomes a "majority-interest group of beneficiaries", of the Trust, as those terms are defined in the affiliated persons rules contained in the Tax Act, with certain modifications. Generally, a majority-interest beneficiary of a Trust is a beneficiary in the income or capital, as the case may be, of the Trust who, together with the beneficial interests of persons and partnerships with whom the beneficiary is affiliated, has a fair market value that is greater than 50% of the fair market value of all the interests in the income or capital, as the case may be, of the Trust. A loss restriction event could occur because a particular unitholder or an affiliate acquires trust units. Please see "Material Tax Considerations - Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "Material Tax Considerations - Canadian Taxation of Unitholders" beginning on pages 21 and 23, respectively, of the accompanying prospectus for the tax consequences of a distribution to unitholders.

Global events outside of the Trust's control may adversely affect the Trust's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Trust cautions that global events outside the Trust's control may have a significant negative effect on the Trust and may negatively impact the Trust's business, financial condition and results of operations,

including the ability of the Trust to provide services. The success of the Trust's activities may be affected by general market conditions, the outbreak of pandemics or contagious diseases, armed conflict, flooding and other natural disasters, interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, global disruptions to information technology systems and national and international political circumstances. Examples of recent global events include the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war, the conflict between Israel and Iran and the CrowdStrike outage. In addition, unexpected volatility or illiquidity could have a significant negative effect on the Trust. These as well as other global or macroeconomic events may also result in market uncertainty, which could have a material adverse impact on taxation, liquidity of units and other unitholder rights generally.

The Trust's reliance on third-party service providers and key information technology systems could have an adverse effect on its business.

The Trust depends on key information technology systems to accurately and efficiently transact its business, provide information to management and prepare financial reports. It relies on third-party providers for various networking, application hosting and related business process services that support its key information systems, as well as those that collect, maintain and process data about customers, employees, business partners and others, including information about individuals, as well as proprietary information belonging to its business such as trade secrets. The Trust's business activities may be materially disrupted in the event of a partial or complete failure of any of these systems, or those of its third-party providers, which could result from, among other things, natural disasters, war, terrorism or other hostile acts, software malfunctions, equipment or telecommunications failures, processing errors, computer viruses, ransomware, phishing, hackers, other security issues or supplier defaults, increased bandwidth requirements or other events beyond its control. For example, the recent global CrowdStrike outage resulted in prolonged interruptions to the availability and functionality of Microsoft applications, which the Trust and its third-party providers rely upon to perform a number of operations. In addition, cyberattacks are expected to accelerate on a global basis in frequency and magnitude as threat actors are becoming increasingly sophisticated in using techniques and tools - including artificial intelligence - that circumvent security controls, evade detection and remove forensic evidence. As a result, the Trust may be unable to detect, investigate, remediate or recover from future attacks or incidents, or to avoid a material adverse impact to its business.

Any damage, significant disruption or breach of our third-party providers' information technology systems, preventing them to perform as expected, could potentially lead to improper use of the Trust's information technology systems, unauthorized access, use, disclosure, loss, modification or destruction of confidential information, information about its customers, employees, and other individuals and operational disruptions. In addition, a cyber-related attack or other system disruption could result in other negative consequences, including damage to the Trust's reputation or competitiveness, costly and time-consuming remediation or increased protection actions, compliance and regulatory costs, fines, and penalties, litigation (including class actions), or regulatory action. The Trust's security measures, backup and disaster recovery capabilities, business continuity plans and crisis management procedures may not be adequate or implemented properly to avoid such disruptions or failures. The Trust cannot guarantee that any costs and liabilities incurred in relation to an attack or incident will be covered by its existing insurance policies or that applicable insurance will be available to it in the future on economically reasonable terms or at all.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds from the offering are not determinable in light of the nature of the distribution. The net proceeds of any given distribution of trust units through the Agents in an "at-the-market distribution" will represent the gross proceeds after deducting the applicable compensation payable to the Agents under the sales agreement. The Manager may bear the expenses of the distribution. The net proceeds will be used by the Trust to acquire physical gold bullion and silver bullion in accordance with the Trust's objective and subject to the Trust's investment and operating restrictions described herein. See "Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust - Business of the Trust - Investment Objectives of the Trust" and "Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust - Business of the Trust - Investment and Operating Restrictions" in the accompanying prospectus. Each time trust units are issued and sold under this prospectus supplement, the Trust will reimburse the Manager for expenses paid by it in respect of that drawdown, but only to the extent there is a sufficient premium between the NAV per trust unit and the market price at which each such trust unit is sold under the offering.

The offering and the use of the net proceeds from the offering are intended to be accretive to NAV per trust unit and are intended to lead to an increase in physical gold bullion and silver bullion owned per unitholder on an overall basis. The Manager believes that the offering may increase liquidity for the trust units with the goal to make the Trust more available for institutional investors. In addition, the offering may result in economies of scale which may lead to an ultimate decrease of expenses on a per trust unit basis. Due to the nature of the "at-the-market" offering, the Manager will be able to utilize the program immediately or from time to time when it deems it appropriate.

CAPITALIZATION

On December 5, 2024, the total NAV of the Trust and the NAV per unit of the Trust were U.S.$5,183,809,605.54 and U.S.$25.7062, respectively, and there were a total of 201,656,204 units of the Trust issued and outstanding.

DESCRIPTION OF THE UNITS OF THE TRUST

The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of units of the Trust in one or more classes and series of a class. Currently, the Trust has issued only one class or series of trust units, which is the class of trust units that are qualified by this prospectus supplement. Each trust unit of a class or series of a class represents an undivided ownership interest in the net assets of the Trust attributable to that class or series of a class of trust units. Trust units are transferable and redeemable at the option of the unitholder in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Trust Agreement. All trust units of the same class or series of a class have equal rights and privileges with respect to all matters, including voting, receipt of distributions from the Trust, liquidation and other events in connection with the Trust. Trust units and fractions thereof are issued only as fully paid and non-assessable. Trust units have no preference, conversion, exchange or pre-emptive rights. Each whole unit of the Trust of a particular class or series of a class entitles the holder thereof to a vote at meetings of unitholders where all classes vote together, or to a vote at meetings of unitholders where that particular class or series of a class of unitholders votes separately as a class.

The Trust may not issue trust units except (i) if the net proceeds per trust unit to be received by the Trust are not less than 100% of the most recently calculated NAV per trust unit immediately prior to, or upon, the determination of the pricing of such issuance or (ii) by way of trust unit distribution in connection with an income distribution.

Registration or transfers of the trust units will be made through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., and/or the Depository Trust Company, each of which holds the trust units on behalf of its participants (i.e., brokers), which in turn may hold the trust units on behalf of their customers.

References in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus to a holder of trust units or unitholder mean, unless the context otherwise requires, the owner of the beneficial interest in such trust units.

The Trust and the Manager do not have any liability for: (i) records maintained by a depository relating to the beneficial interests in the trust units or the accounts maintained by such depositary; (ii) maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests; or (iii) any advice or representation made or given by a depositary and made or given with respect to the rules and regulations of the depositary or any action taken by a depositary or at the direction of the depositary's participants.

The Trust has the option to terminate registration of the trust units through the non-certificated inventory system in which case certificates for trust units in fully registered form will be issued to beneficial owners of such trust units or to their nominees.

PRIOR SALES

The Trust has not issued any trust units from treasury during the 12-month period before the date of this prospectus supplement.

MARKET PRICE OF TRUST UNITS

The trust units are traded on the NYSE Arca under the symbol "CEF" and on the TSX under the symbols "CEF" ​(Canadian dollar denominated) and "CEF.U" ​(U.S. dollar denominated). The following table sets forth the reported high and low prices and monthly average trading volume of the trust units on the TSX (as reported by the TSX) and the NYSE Arca (as reported by the NYSE Arca) for each month during the 12-month period before the date of this prospectus supplement.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Pursuant to the sales agreement the Trust may offer and sell from time to time up to U.S.$250,000,000 of trust units through the Agents in connection with this offering. The Trust has not made any sales of trust units pursuant to the prospectus supplement dated April 6, 2023.

Sales of the trust units pursuant to the sales agreement will be made in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in NI 44-102, consisting of sales made directly on the TSX and the NYSE Arca or any other "marketplace" ​(as such term is defined in NI 21-101) in Canada and the United States. Subject to the terms and conditions of the sales agreement and upon instructions from the Trust, the Agents will sell the trust units directly on the TSX and the NYSE Arca or any other "marketplace" ​(as such term is defined in NI 21-101) in Canada and the United States. The Trust will instruct the Agents as to the number of trust units to be sold by them. The Trust or the Agents may suspend the offering of trust units upon proper notice and subject to other conditions.

In accordance with paragraph 9.3(2) of NI 81-102, the issue price of the trust units will not (a) as far as reasonably practicable, be a price that causes dilution of the NAV of the Trust's other outstanding securities at the time of issue and (b) be a price that is less than the most recently calculated NAV per trust unit. Accordingly, the trust units sold pursuant to the offering will not be sold at an issue price that is less than 100% of the most recently calculated NAV per trust unit immediately prior to, or upon, the determination of the pricing of such issuance.

To compensate an Agent for its services in acting as agent in the sale of trust units, the Trust will pay a cash commission of up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of sales made by such Agent(s) pursuant to the sales agreement. The Trust estimates that the total expenses that it will incur for the offering (including fees

payable to stock exchanges, securities regulatory authorities and the Trust's counsel and its auditors, but excluding compensation payable to the Agents under the terms of the sales agreement) will be approximately U.S.$75,000, which costs may be borne by the Manager. The Trust has also agreed to reimburse the Agents for certain specified expenses, including the fees and disbursements of its legal counsel in an amount not to exceed U.S.$25,000. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow trust or similar arrangement.

Settlement for sales of the trust units are expected to occur on the first business day following the date on which any sales are made, or on such other date as is industry practice for regular-way trading, in return for payment of the net proceeds to the Trust. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow trust or similar arrangement. Sales of trust units in the United States will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as the Trust and the Agents may determine. Sales of trust units in Canada will be settled through the facilities of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or by such other means as the Trust and the Agents may determine.

None of the U.S. Agents are registered as a dealer in any Canadian jurisdiction and, accordingly, the U.S. Agents will only sell trust units on marketplaces in the United States and are not permitted to and will not, directly or indirectly, advertise or solicit offers to purchase any of the trust units in Canada. The Canadian Agents may only sell trust units in Canada.

In connection with the sale of the trust units on behalf of the Trust, the Agents will be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and the compensation of the Agents will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. The Trust has agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Agents against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The offering of trust units pursuant to the sales agreement will terminate upon the termination of the sales agreement as permitted therein. The Agents may terminate the sales agreement under the circumstances specified in the sales agreement. Each of the Trust and the Agents may also terminate the sales agreement upon giving the other party ten days' notice.

The Agents and their affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for the Trust and its affiliates, for which services they may in the future receive customary fees. No underwriter or dealer involved in an "at-the-market distribution", no affiliate of such an underwriter or dealer, and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such underwriter or dealer, may, in connection with the distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the trust units or securities of the same class as the trust units distributed under this prospectus supplement, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of trust units that would result in the underwriter or dealer creating an over-allocation position in the trust units. To the extent required by Regulation M under the Exchange Act, the Agents will not engage in any market making activities involving the trust units while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus supplement.

The trust units offered by this prospectus supplement have been approved for listing on the NYSE Arca and on the TSX.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by an Agent, and the Agents may distribute this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus electronically.

Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

The expenses of the issuance and distribution may be borne by the Manager. Each time trust units are issued and sold under this prospectus supplement, the Trust will reimburse the Manager for expenses paid by it in respect of that drawdown, but only to the extent there is a sufficient premium between the NAV per trust unit and the market price at which each such trust unit is sold under the offering.

Selling Restrictions Outside of the United States and Canada

Other than in the United States and Canada, no action has been taken by the Trust that would permit a public offering of the trust units offered by this prospectus supplement in any jurisdiction outside the United

States and Canada where action for that purpose is required. The trust units offered by this prospectus supplement may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus supplement or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such trust units be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this prospectus supplement comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus supplement. This prospectus supplement does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any trust units offered by this prospectus supplement in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.

MATERIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The accompanying prospectus describes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (as such term is defined in the accompanying prospectus) of the ownership and disposition of trust units. Please refer to the heading "Material Tax Considerations - Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" beginning on page 16 of the accompanying prospectus and "Material Tax Considerations - Backup Withholding and Information Reporting" beginning on page 20 of the accompanying prospectus.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act provisions of Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act ("FATCA") provide that the Trust must disclose the name, address and taxpayer identification number of certain U.S. persons that own, directly or indirectly, an interest in the Trust, as well as certain other information relating to any such interest pursuant to an Intergovernmental Agreement between the United States and Canada (the "Canadian IGA") and any applicable Canadian legislation or regulations implementing the Canadian IGA. If the Trust fails to comply with these requirements, then a 30% withholding tax will be imposed on payments to the Trust of U.S. source interest and U.S. source dividend income. The withholding provisions of FATCA applicable to proceeds from the sale of property that could give rise to U.S. source interest or dividends have been delayed by temporary Treasury regulations and would be eliminated by proposed Treasury regulations.

Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

The accompanying prospectus, as amended in the manner described below, describes certain Canadian federal income tax consequences to an investor who is a resident of Canada and to an investor who is a non-resident of Canada, of acquiring, owning or disposing of any trust units, including to the extent applicable, whether the distributions relating to the trust units will be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax. Please refer to the heading "Material Tax Considerations - Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "Material Tax Considerations - Canadian Taxation of Unitholders" beginning on pages 21 and 23, respectively, of the accompanying prospectus, and "Eligibility Under the Tax Act for Investment by Canadian Exempt Plans", beginning on page 30 of the accompanying prospectus.

Canadian Taxation of the Trust

The discussion of the taxation of the Trust under the heading "Material Tax Considerations - Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - Canadian Taxation of the Trust" is amended to add the following paragraph:

Under the currently enacted rules in the Tax Act, one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a "taxable capital gain") realized by the Trust in a taxation year must be included in computing the Trust's income for the year, and one-half of the amount of any capital loss (an "allowable capital loss") realized by the Trust in a taxation year must be deducted against any taxable capital gains realized by the Trust in the year. Any excess of allowable capital losses over taxable capital gains for a taxation year may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized by the Trust to the extent and under

the circumstances described in the Tax Act. Pursuant to certain Tax Proposals (the "Capital Gains Proposals"), subject to certain transitional rules, the portion of a capital gain or capital loss included in the taxable capital gain or allowable capital loss of the Trust is increased from one-half to two-thirds in respect of dispositions made by the Trust on or after June 25, 2024. The Capital Gains Proposals are discussed in more detail below under "Canadian Taxation of Unitholders - Unitholders Resident in Canada".

Unitholders Resident in Canada

The discussion of taxable capital gains and allowable capital losses under the heading "Material Tax Considerations - Canadian Taxation of Unitholders - Unitholders Resident in Canada" is amended to state the following:

Under the currently enacted rules in the Tax Act, one-half of capital gains ("taxable capital gains") are included in an individual's income and one-half of capital losses ("allowable capital losses") are generally deductible only against taxable capital gains. Any unused allowable capital losses may be carried back up to three taxation years and forward indefinitely and deducted against net taxable capital gains realized in any such other year to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act. Capital gains realized by individuals may give rise to alternative minimum tax.

The Capital Gains Proposals would increase a Canadian unitholder's capital gains inclusion rate for a taxation year ending after June 24, 2024 from one-half to two-thirds, subject to a transitional rule applicable for a Canadian unitholder's 2024 taxation year that would reduce the capital gains inclusion rate for that taxation year to, in effect, be one-half for net capital gains realized before June 25, 2024. The Capital Gains Proposals also include provisions that would, generally, offset the increase in the capital gains inclusion rate for up to Cdn$250,000 of capital gains realized by a Canadian unitholder that is an individual (excluding certain types of trusts) in a year, calculated net of any capital losses incurred in the year (or the portion of the year ending after June 24, 2024 in the case of the 2024 taxation year), and which are not offset by net capital losses from prior years which are deducted against taxable capital gains in the year. If the Capital Gains Proposals are enacted as proposed, capital losses realized prior to June 25, 2024 which are deductible against capital gains included in income for the 2024 or subsequent taxation years will offset an equivalent capital gain regardless of the inclusion rate which applied at the time such capital losses were realized.

Pursuant to the Capital Gains Proposals, net capital gains of the Trust that are included in the Canadian unitholder's income for the year (and for which appropriate designations are made by the Trust) should benefit from the lower 50% capital gains inclusion rate to the Canadian unitholder up to the Cdn$250,000 annual threshold discussed above. For the taxation year of the Trust that begins before June 25, 2024 and ends after June 24, 2024, based on the Capital Gains Proposals, the amount designated to unitholders in respect of the Trust's net taxable capital gains will be grossed up (doubled for gains in the pre-June 25 period and increased by 3/2 for gains in the post-June 24 period) and deemed to be capital gains realized by the Canadian unitholder in the period that the Trust disposed of the relevant capital property (either pre-June 25 or post-June 24). The Trust will be required to disclose to its unitholders in prescribed form the portion of the deemed capital gains that relates to dispositions of property that occurred in each period. If the Trust does not disclose this information, the deemed capital gains would be deemed to have been realized after June 24, 2024. The Trust also has the option of electing the deemed capital gains allocated to its unitholders to have been realized by them proportionally within the two periods based on the number of days in each period divided by the number of days in the Trust's taxation year. Canadian unitholders should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own circumstances.

Unitholders Not Resident in Canada

The discussion of the expected tax treatment of gains resulting from dispositions of physical gold bullion and silver bullion by the Trust in the second last paragraph under the heading "Material Tax Considerations - Canadian Taxation of Unitholders - Unitholders Not Resident in Canada" is amended to state the following:

The Manager anticipates that the Trust generally will treat gains as a result of dispositions of physical gold bullion and silver bullion as capital gains (see above under "Material Tax Considerations - Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - Canadian Taxation of the Trust") and that it anticipates that when the Trust distributes physical gold bullion and silver bullion on the redemption of trust units by Non-Canadian unitholders, any resulting taxable capital gains of the Trust (to the extent that there are resulting net realized capital gains of the Trust for the related taxation year) for which the Trust is not entitled to a capital gains refund, as described under "Material Tax Considerations - Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - Canadian Taxation of the Trust" generally will be designated as taxable capital gains of such unitholders, subject to the rules relating to the allocation of capital gains to redeeming unitholders discussed above. If such treatment is accepted by the CRA, there will be no Canadian withholding tax applicable to such distributions and Non-Canadian unitholders will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on amounts so designated. However, if the CRA were to consider that such gains instead were gains from an adventure in the nature of trade, the distribution of such gains generally would be subject to Canadian withholding tax, as discussed above. Similarly, if the Trust disposed of physical gold bullion and silver bullion (or other assets) at a gain and designated the relevant portion of that gain as a taxable capital gain of a Non-Canadian unitholder who had redeemed trust units for cash, the full amount of such gain generally would be subject to Canadian withholding tax if the CRA were to treat such gain as being from an adventure in the nature of trade rather than as a capital gain.

International Information Reporting

The discussion under the heading "Material Tax Considerations - International Information Reporting" is amended to state the following:

In general, investors will be required to provide their dealer with information related to their tax residency and citizenship and, if applicable, a foreign tax identification number in order to enable financial institutions to fulfill their reporting obligations pursuant to FATCA or Common Reporting Standard.

Exchange of Tax Information

The discussion under the heading "Material Tax Considerations - Exchange of Tax Information" is amended to state the following:

The Trust has due diligence and reporting obligations under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (as implemented in Canada by the Canada-United States Enhanced Tax Information Exchange Agreement and Part XVIII of the Tax Act, collectively "FATCA") and the OECD's Common Reporting Standard (as implemented in Canada by Part XIX of the Tax Act, referred to as "CRS"). As long as units are registered in the name of CDS, the Trust should not have any reportable accounts under FATCA and CRS. However, generally, unitholders (or in the case of certain unitholders that are entities, the "controlling persons" thereof) will be required by law to provide their dealer with information related to their citizenship and tax residence, including their foreign taxpayer identification number. If a unitholder (or, if applicable, any of its controlling persons), (i) is identified as a Specified U.S. Person for FATCA purposes (including a U.S. resident or a U.S. citizen) residing in Canada; (ii) is identified as a tax resident of a country other than Canada or the U.S.; or (iii) does not provide the required information and indicia of U.S. or non-Canadian status is present, information about the unitholder (or, if applicable, its controlling persons) and their investment in the Trust will generally be reported to the CRA unless the units are held within a Registered Plan. The CRA will provide that information to, in the case of FATCA, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and in the case of CRS, the relevant tax authority of any country that is a signatory of the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information or that has otherwise agreed to a bilateral information exchange with Canada under CRS.

U.S. ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

The accompanying prospectus describes the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and how it imposes certain requirements on employee benefit plans subject to Title I of ERISA and on entities that are deemed to hold the assets of such plans (collectively "ERISA Plans"), and on those persons who are fiduciaries with respect to ERISA Plans. Investments by ERISA Plans are subject to ERISA's general fiduciary requirements, including, but not limited to, the requirement of investment prudence and diversification and the requirement that an ERISA Plan's investments be made in accordance with the documents governing the ERISA Plan. Please refer to the heading "U.S. ERISA Considerations" beginning on page 28 of the accompanying prospectus.

SHORT FORM BASE SHELF PROSPECTUS

Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust

US$1,000,000,000
Trust Units

Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust (the "Trust") may offer from time to time, during the 25-month period that this short form base shelf prospectus (including any amendments hereto) (the "prospectus") remains effective, up to US$1,000,000,000 of transferable, redeemable trust units (the "trust units"). Each trust unit represents an equal, fractional, undivided ownership interest in the net assets of the Trust attributable to the particular class of trust units. To date, the Trust has issued only one class or series of trust units, which is the class of trust units that will be qualified by this prospectus. The Trust is a closed-end mutual fund trust established under the laws of the Province of Ontario and is managed by Sprott Asset Management LP (the "Manager"). See "Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust - Management of the Trust - The Manager" for further information about the Manager. The Trust was created in connection with the acquisition of the common shares of Central Fund of Canada Limited ("CFCL") and the right to administer and manage CFCL's assets (the "Arrangement"), and to invest and hold substantially all of its assets in physical gold bullion and silver bullion. See "Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust - Business of the Trust - Investment Objectives of the Trust" for further information about the Trust's investment objectives.

The specific terms of the trust units offered, including the number of trust units offered and the offering price (or the manner of determination thereof if offered on a non-fixed price basis, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market" distributions as defined in National Instrument 44-102 - Shelf Distribution ("NI 44-102")), will be described in supplements to this prospectus (each a "prospectus supplement"). All shelf information omitted from this prospectus under applicable laws will be contained in one or more prospectus supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this prospectus. Each prospectus supplement will be incorporated by reference into this prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the prospectus supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the trust units to which the prospectus supplement pertains. A prospectus supplement may include specific terms pertaining to the trust units that are not within the alternatives or parameters described in this prospectus. You should read this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement carefully before you invest.

This prospectus may qualify an "at-the-market distribution" as defined in NI 44-102.

The trust units are listed and posted for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the "NYSE Arca") under the symbol "CEF" and on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under the symbols "CEF" ​(Canadian dollar denominated) and "CEF.U" ​(U.S. dollar denominated). On April 5, 2023, the last trading day prior to the date hereof, the closing price of the trust units on the NYSE Arca was US$19.50 and the closing price of the trust units on the TSX was Cdn$26.27, respectively.

The Trust may sell the trust units to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals to one or more purchasers directly, or through agents designated from time to time by the Manager on behalf of the Trust. Subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement (as defined below) pursuant to which the Trust was established, the trust units may be sold at fixed prices or non-fixed prices, such as prices determined by reference to the prevailing market price of the trust units or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers, which prices may vary between purchasers and during the period of distribution of the trust units. The prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering of the trust units will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent engaged by the Trust in connection with the offering and sale of the trust units, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such trust units, the method of distribution of such trust units including, to the extent applicable, the proceeds to the Trust, and any fees, discounts or

(continued on next page)​

(continued from cover)

any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material term of the plan of distribution. In connection with such offering, other than an "at-the-market" distribution, the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, may over-allot or effect transactions intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the trust units at levels other than those which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. See "Plan of Distribution".

No underwriter or dealer involved in an at-the-market distribution, no affiliate of such underwriter or dealer and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with underwriter or dealer, may, in connection with the distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the trust units or securities of the same class as the trust units distributed under the at-the-market prospectus including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of trust units that would result in the underwriter or dealer creating an over-allocation position in the trust units.

The Trust is not a trust company and does not carry on business as a trust company and, accordingly, the Trust is not registered under the trust company legislation of any jurisdiction. Trust units are not "deposits" within the meaning of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (Canada) and are not insured under provisions of that Act or any other legislation.

NEITHER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "SEC") NOR ANY U.S. STATE SECURITIES REGULATOR HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THE TRUST UNITS OR PASSED ON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

The Trust is permitted, under a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system ("MJDS") adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States, to prepare this prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States. The Trust prepares its financial statements, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States issuers.

Purchasing the trust units may subject you to tax consequences both in the United States and Canada. This prospectus or any prospectus supplement may not describe these tax consequences fully. You should read the tax discussion in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.

Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws or securities laws of other relevant jurisdictions may be affected adversely because the Trust is a mutual fund trust established under the laws of the Province of Ontario. Each of the Trust, the Manager and Sprott Asset Management GP Inc. (the "GP"), which is the general partner of the Manager, is organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada and the Trust's trustee, RBC Investor Services Trust ("RBC Investor Services" or the "Trustee"), is organized under the federal laws of Canada, and all of their executive offices and substantially all of the administrative activities and a majority of their assets are located outside the United States. In addition, the directors and officers of the Trustee and the GP are residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of the assets of those persons are or may be located outside such jurisdictions.

Whitney George, a director of the GP, resides outside of Canada. Mr. George has appointed the Trust, located at Royal Bank Plaza, South Tower, 200 Bay Street, Suite 2600, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2J1, as his agent for service of process in Canada. It may not be possible for you to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person who resides outside of Canada, even if the person has appointed an agent for service of process.

See "Risk Factors" for a discussion of certain considerations relevant to an investment in the trust units offered hereby. In the opinion of Stikeman Elliott LLP, counsel to the Trust, the trust units, once offered under a prospectus supplement, will be qualified investments for certain funds, plans and accounts under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"), subject to the qualifications set out under the heading "Eligibility Under the Tax Act for Investment by Canadian Exempt Plans".

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Each of the Trust, the Manager and the GP is organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada and the Trustee is organized under the federal laws of Canada, and all of their executive offices and substantially all of the administrative activities and a majority of their assets are located outside the United States. In addition, the directors and officers of the Trustee and the GP are residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of the assets of those persons are or may be located outside such jurisdictions.

As a result, you may have difficulty serving legal process within your jurisdiction upon any of the Trust, the Trustee, the Manager or the GP or any of their directors or officers, as applicable, or enforcing judgments obtained in courts in your jurisdiction against any of them or the assets of any of them located outside your jurisdiction, or enforcing against them in the appropriate Canadian court judgments obtained in courts of your jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States, or bringing an original action in the appropriate Canadian courts to enforce liabilities against the Trust, the Trustee, the Manager, the GP or any of their directors or officers, as applicable, based upon United States federal securities laws.

While you, whether or not a resident of the United States, may be able to commence an action in Canada relating to the Trust and may also be able to petition Canadian courts to enforce judgments obtained in the courts of any part of the United States against any of the Trust, the Trustee, the Manager or the GP or any of their directors or officers, you may face additional requirements serving legal process within the United States upon or enforcing judgments obtained in the United States courts against any of them or the assets of any of them located outside the United States, or enforcing against any of them in the appropriate Canadian courts judgments obtained in the courts of any part of the United States, or bringing an original action in the appropriate Canadian courts to enforce liabilities against the Trust, the Trustee, the Manager, the GP or any of their directors or officers, as applicable.

In the United States, the Trust and the Trustee each filed with the SEC, concurrently with the Trust's registration statement on Form F-10, an appointment of agent for service of process on separate Forms F-X. Under such Forms F-X, the Trust and the Trustee have each appointed Puglisi & Associates, 850 Library Avenue, Suite 204, Newark, Delaware 19711, as their agent for service of process in the United States in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC, and any civil suit or action brought against or involving the Trust or the Trustee in a U.S. court arising out of or related to or concerning any offering of trust units under this prospectus as supplemented by a prospectus supplement.

See "Exemptions and Approvals".

Management of the Trust

The Manager

The Trustee

RBC Investor Services, a trust company organized under the federal laws of Canada, is the trustee of the Trust. The Trustee holds title to the Trust's assets and has, together with the Manager, exclusive authority over the assets and affairs of the Trust. The Trustee has a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of the unitholders.

The Custodians

The Trust employs two custodians. The Royal Canadian Mint (the "Mint"), acts as custodian for the Trust's physical gold bullion and silver bullion pursuant to a gold and silver storage agreement (the "Gold and Silver Storage Agreement"). The Mint is a Canadian Crown corporation, which acts as an agent of the Canadian Government, and its obligations generally constitute unconditional obligations of the Canadian Government. The Mint is responsible for and bears all risk of the loss of, and damage to, the Trust's physical gold bullion and silver bullion that is in the Mint's custody, subject to certain limitations, including events beyond the Mint's control and proper notice by the Manager.

RBC Investor Services acts as custodian on behalf of the Trust for the Trust's assets other than physical gold bullion and silver bullion. RBC Investor Services is only responsible for the Trust's assets that are directly held by it, its affiliates or appointed sub-custodians.

Under the Trust Agreement, the Manager, with the consent of the Trustee, may determine to change the custodial arrangements of the Trust.

Principal Offices

The Trust's office is located at Royal Bank Plaza, South Tower, 200 Bay Street, Suite 2600, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2J1. The Manager's office is located at Royal Bank Plaza, South Tower, 200 Bay Street, Suite 2600, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2J1 and its telephone number is (416) 943-8099 (toll free: 1-855-943-8099). The Trustee's office is located at 155 Wellington Street West, 10th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5V 3L3.

Business of the Trust

Investment Objectives of the Trust

The Trust was created in connection with the Arrangement to invest and hold substantially all of its assets in physical gold bullion and silver bullion. Many investors are unwilling to invest directly in physical gold bullion and silver bullion due to inconveniences such as transaction, handling, storage, insurance and other costs that are typical of a direct investment in physical gold bullion and silver bullion. The Trust seeks to provide a secure, convenient and exchange-traded investment alternative for investors interested in holding

physical gold bullion and silver bullion without the inconvenience that is typical of a direct investment in physical gold bullion and silver bullion. The Trust invests primarily in long-term holdings of unencumbered, fully allocated, physical gold bullion and silver bullion and will not speculate with regard to short-term changes in gold and silver prices. The Trust has only purchased and expects only to own "Good Delivery" bars as defined by London Bullion Market Association (the "LBMA"), with each bar being verified against the LBMA source. The Trust does not anticipate making regular cash distributions to unitholders. The Trust holds no assets that are subject to special arrangements arising from their illiquid nature (to the extent that any such assets are held, in compliance at all times with the Investment and Operating Restrictions (as defined below)).

Investment Strategies of the Trust

The Trust is expressly prohibited from investing in units or shares of other investment funds or collective investment schemes other than money market mutual funds and then only to the extent that its interest does not exceed 10% of the total net assets of the Trust.

The Trust may not borrow funds except under limited circumstances as set out in NI 81-102 and, in any event, not in excess of 10% of the total net assets of the Trust.

Borrowing Arrangements

The Trust has no borrowing arrangements in place and is unleveraged. The Trust has historically not used leverage and the Manager has no intention of doing so in the future (save for the short-term borrowings to settle trades). Unitholders will be notified of any changes to the Trust's use of leverage.

Calculating Net Asset Value ("NAV")

The value of the net assets of the Trust and the net asset value for a particular class or series of a class of trust units (the "Class Net Asset Value") are determined daily as of 4:00 p.m., Toronto time, on each business day by the Trust's valuation agent, which is RBC Investor Services. Throughout this prospectus, unless otherwise indicated, the term "business day" refers to any day on which the NYSE Arca or the TSX is open for trading. In addition, the Manager may calculate the value of the net assets of the Trust, the Class Net Asset Value and the NAV per trust unit at such other times as the Manager deems appropriate. The value of the net assets of the Trust as of the valuation time on any such day is equal to the aggregate fair market value of the assets of the Trust as of such date, less an amount equal to the fair value of the liabilities of the Trust (excluding all liabilities represented by outstanding trust units, if any) as of such date. The valuation agent calculates the NAV by dividing the value of the net assets of the class of the Trust represented by the trust units on that day by the total number of trust units of that class then outstanding on such day. The total NAV of the Trust as of April 5, 2023 was US$4,330,807,063.

Redemption of Trust Units for Physical Gold Bullion and Silver Bullion

Subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement and the Manager's right to suspend redemptions, trust units may be redeemed at the option of a unitholder for physical gold bullion and silver bullion in any month. Unitholders may redeem trust units for physical gold bullion and silver bullion, provided the redemption request is for the "Minimum Bullion Redemption Amount", being 100,000 trust units, provided that if 100,000 trust units is not at least equivalent to the aggregate value of (i) one Good Delivery bar of gold (as defined below), (ii) such number of Good Delivery bars of silver (as defined below) with an aggregate value that is proportionate to the aggregate value of one Good Delivery bar of gold based on the proportionate value of physical gold bullion and silver bullion held by the Trust and (iii) applicable expenses, the Minimum Bullion Redemption Amount shall be such number of trust units as are at least equivalent to the aggregate value (i) one Good Delivery bar of gold, (ii) the "Proportionate Silver Amount", being such number of Good Delivery bars of silver with an aggregate value that is proportionate to the aggregate value of one Good Delivery bar of gold based on the proportionate value of physical gold bullion and silver bullion held by the Trust, and (iii) applicable expenses. Trust units redeemed for physical gold bullion and silver bullion will have a redemption value equal to the aggregate value of the NAV per trust unit of the redeemed trust units on the last day of the month on which the NYSE Arca is open for trading in the month during which the redemption request is processed. Certain expenses described below will be subtracted from the value of the redeemed

trust units and the resulting amount the unitholder will receive (the "Redemption Amount"). The amount of physical gold bullion and silver bullion a redeeming unitholder is entitled to receive will be determined by the Manager, who will, other than as described below, allocate the Redemption Amount to physical gold bullion and silver bullion in direct proportion to the value of physical gold bullion and silver bullion held by the Trust at the time of redemption (the "Bullion Redemption Amount"). The quantity of each particular metal delivered to a redeeming unitholder will be dependent on the applicable Bullion Redemption Amount and the number and individual weight of Good Delivery bars of that metal that are held by the Trust on the redemption date. A "Good Delivery bar" of gold weighs between 350 and 430 troy ounces (generally, most bars weigh between 390 and 410 troy ounces). A "Good Delivery bar" of silver weighs between 750 and 1,000 troy ounces (approximately 23 to 34 kilograms) and usually are approximately 1,000 troy ounces. A redeeming unitholder may not receive physical gold bullion and silver bullion in the proportions then held by the Trust and, if the Trust does not have a Good Delivery bar of a particular metal in inventory of a value equal to or less than the applicable Bullion Redemption Amount, the redeeming unitholder will not receive any of that metal. The ability of a unitholder to redeem trust units for physical gold bullion and silver bullion may be limited by the number of Good Delivery bars held by the Trust at the time of redemption. A unitholder redeeming trust units for physical gold bullion and silver bullion will be responsible for expenses in connection with effecting the redemption and applicable delivery expenses, including the handling of the notice of redemption, the delivery of the physical gold bullion and silver bullion for trust units that are being redeemed and the applicable fees charged by the Mint in connection with such redemption, including but not limited to gold and silver storage redemption fees, pallet repackaging fees, pallet banding fees and administrative fees.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unitholders that are constituted and authorized as Undertakings for Collective Investments in Transferable Securities ("UCITS") or are otherwise prohibited by their investment policies, guidelines or restrictions from receiving physical gold bullion and silver bullion may only redeem trust units for cash.

Since inception, 65,734,752 trust units have been redeemed for physical gold bullion and silver bullion.

A unitholder that owns a sufficient number of trust units who desires to exercise redemption privileges for physical gold bullion and silver bullion must do so by instructing his, her or its broker, who must be a direct or indirect participant of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. ("CDS") or The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), to withdraw such position with CDS or DTC, as applicable, and to deliver to the Trust's transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, on behalf of the unitholder a written notice (the "Bullion Redemption Notice"), of the unitholder's intention to redeem trust units for physical gold bullion and silver bullion (the transfer agent is permitted to directly accept redemption requests. See "Exemptions and Approvals"). If a unitholder desires to redeem trust units for bullion, and such unitholder holds his, her or its units through the direct registration system ("DRS"), the unitholder first has to request and then receive a trust unit certificate before engaging in the redemption process. A Bullion Redemption Notice must be received by the transfer agent no later than 4:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the 15th day of the month in which the Bullion Redemption Notice will be processed or, if such day is not a business day, then on the immediately following day that is a business day. Any Bullion Redemption Notice received after such time will be processed in the next month. Any Bullion Redemption Notice must include a valid signature guarantee to be deemed valid by the Trust.

Physical gold bullion and silver bullion received by a unitholder as a result of a redemption of trust units will be delivered by armoured transportation service carrier pursuant to delivery instructions provided by the unitholder to the Manager, provided that the delivery instructions are acceptable to the armoured transportation service carrier. Physical gold bullion and silver bullion delivered to an institution located in North America authorized to accept and hold Good Delivery bars will likely retain its Good Delivery status while in the custody of such institution; physical gold bullion and silver bullion delivered pursuant to a unitholder's delivery instruction to a destination other than an institution located in North America authorized to accept and hold Good Delivery bars will no longer be deemed Good Delivery once received by the unitholder.

Redemption of Trust Units for Cash

Unitholders whose trust units are redeemed for cash will be entitled to receive a redemption price per trust unit equal to 95% of the lesser of (i) the volume-weighted average trading price of the trust units traded on the NYSE Arca or, if trading has been suspended on the NYSE Arca, the trading price of the trust units

traded on the TSX, for the last five days on which the respective exchange is open for trading for the month in which the redemption request is processed and (ii) the NAV of the redeemed trust units as of 4:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the last day of the month on which the NYSE Arca is open for trading for the month in which the redemption request is processed. Cash redemption proceeds will be transferred to a redeeming unitholder approximately three business days after the end of the month in which the redemption notice is processed.

Since inception, 130,536 trust units have been redeemed for cash.

To redeem trust units for cash, a unitholder must instruct the unitholder's broker to deliver a notice to redeem trust units for cash (the "Cash Redemption Notice") to the transfer agent (the transfer agent is permitted to accept redemption requests. See "Exemptions and Approvals"). If a unitholder desires to redeem trust units for cash, and such unitholder holds his, her or its trust units through DRS, the unitholder first has to request and then receive a trust unit certificate before engaging in the redemption process. A Cash Redemption Notice must be received by the transfer agent no later than 4:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the 15th day of the month in which the Cash Redemption Notice will be processed or, if such day is not a business day, then on the immediately following day that is a business day. Any Cash Redemption Notice received after such time will be processed in the next month. Any Cash Redemption Notice must include a valid signature guarantee to be deemed valid by the Trust.

Investment and Operating Restrictions

In making investments on behalf of the Trust, the Manager is subject to certain investment and operating restrictions (the "Investment and Operating Restrictions"), which are set out in the Trust Agreement. The Investment and Operating Restrictions may not be changed without the prior approval of unitholders by way of an extraordinary resolution, which must be approved, in person or by proxy, by unitholders holding trust units representing in aggregate not less than 662∕3% of the value of the net assets of the Trust as determined in accordance with the Trust Agreement, at a duly constituted meeting of unitholders, or at any adjournment thereof, called and held in accordance with the Trust Agreement, or a written resolution signed by unitholders holding trust units representing in aggregate not less than 662∕3% of the value of the net assets of the Trust as determined in accordance with the Trust Agreement, unless such change or changes are necessary to ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations or other requirements imposed from time to time by applicable securities regulatory authorities.

The Investment and Operating Restrictions provide that the Trust:

(a)

will invest in and hold a minimum of 90% of the total net assets of the Trust in physical gold bullion and silver bullion in Good Delivery bar form and hold no more than 10% of the total net assets of the Trust, at the discretion of the Manager, in physical gold bullion and silver bullion (in Good Delivery bar form or otherwise), gold or silver coins, debt obligations of or guaranteed by the Government of Canada or a province of Canada or by the Government of the United States or a state thereof, short-term commercial paper obligations of a corporation or other person whose short-term commercial paper is rated R-1 (or its equivalent, or higher) by Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited or its successors or assigns or F1 (or its equivalent, or higher) by Fitch Ratings or its successors or assigns or A-1 (or its equivalent, or higher) by Standard & Poor's or its successors or assigns or P-1(or its equivalent, or higher) by Moody's Investor Service or its successors or assigns, interest-bearing accounts and short-term certificates of deposit issued or guaranteed by a Canadian chartered bank or trust company, money market mutual funds, short-term government debt or short-term investment grade corporate debt, cash or other short-term debt obligations approved by the Manager from time to time (for the purpose of this paragraph, the term "short-term" means having a date of maturity or call for payment not more than 182 days from the date on which the investment is made), except during the 60-day period following the closing of additional offerings or prior to the distribution of the assets of the Trust, the Trust is permitted to invest up to 100% of its assets, taken at market value at the time of purchase, in physical silver bullion and gold bullion. See "Exemptions and Approvals";

​

(b)

will not invest in gold or silver certificates or other financial instruments that represent gold or silver or that may be exchanged for gold or silver;

​

(c)

will store all physical gold bullion and silver bullion owned by the Trust at the Mint or in the treasury vaults of a Schedule I Canadian chartered bank or an affiliate or division thereof in Canada on a fully allocated basis, provided that the physical gold or silver bullion held in Good Delivery bar form may be stored with a custodian only if the physical gold bullion and silver bullion will remain Good Delivery while with that custodian;

​

(d)

will not hold any "taxable Canadian property" within the meaning of the Tax Act;

​

(e)

will not purchase, sell or hold derivatives;

​

(f)

will not issue trust units except: (i) if the net proceeds per trust unit to be received by the Trust are not less than 100% of the most recently calculated NAV per trust unit prior to, or upon, the determination of the pricing of such issuance; or (ii) by way of trust unit distribution in connection with an income distribution;

​

(g)

will ensure that no part of the stored physical gold bullion and silver bullion may be delivered out of safekeeping by the Mint or, if the physical gold bullion and silver bullion is held by another custodian, that custodian, without receipt of an instruction from the Manager in the form specified by the Mint or such other custodian indicating the purpose of the delivery and giving direction with respect to the specific amount;

​

(h)

will ensure that no director or officer of the Manager or the GP, or representative of the Trust or the Manager will be authorized to enter into the physical gold bullion and silver bullion storage vaults without being accompanied by at least one representative of the Mint or, if the physical gold or silver bullion is held by another custodian, that custodian, as the case may be;

​

(i)

will ensure that the physical gold bullion and silver bullion remains unencumbered;

​

(j)

will inspect or cause to be inspected the stored physical gold bullion and silver bullion periodically on a spot inspection basis and, together with a representative of the Trust's duly appointed firm of external auditors, physically count each bar annually to confirm the bar number;

​

(k)

will not guarantee the securities or obligations of any person other than the Manager, and then only in respect of the activities of the Trust;

​

(m)

in connection with requirements of the Tax Act, will not invest in any security that would be a "tax shelter investment" within the meaning of section 143.2 of the Tax Act;

​

(n)

​

(o)

in connection with requirements of the Tax Act, will not invest in any security of an issuer that would be a foreign affiliate of the Trust for purposes of the Tax Act; and

​

(p)

in connection with requirements of the Tax Act, will not carry on any business and make or hold any investments that would result in the Trust itself being subject to the tax for specified investment flow-through ("SIFT") trusts as provided for in section 122 of the Tax Act.

​

Termination of the Trust

The Trust does not have a fixed termination date but will be terminated in the event there are no trust units outstanding, the Trustee resigns or is removed and no successor trustee is appointed by the Manager by the time the resignation or removal becomes effective, the Manager resigns and no successor manager is appointed by the Manager and approved by unitholders by the time the resignation becomes effective, the Manager is, in the opinion of the Trustee, in material default of its obligations under the Trust Agreement and such default

continues for 120 days from the date that the Manager receives notice of such default from the Trustee and no successor manager has been appointed by the unitholders of the Trust, the Manager experiences certain insolvency events or the assets of the Manager are seized or confiscated by a public or governmental authority. In addition, the Manager may, in its discretion, terminate the Trust, without unitholder approval, if, in the opinion of the Manager, after consulting with the independent review committee, the value of the net assets of the Trust has been reduced such that it is no longer economically feasible to continue the Trust and it would be in the best interests of the unitholders to terminate the Trust, by giving the Trustee and each holder of trust units at the time at least 90 days written notice prior to the effective date of the termination of the Trust. To the extent such termination in the discretion of the Manager may involve a matter that would be a "conflict of interest matter" as set forth under applicable Canadian securities legislation, the matter will be referred by the Manager to the Trust's independent review committee for its recommendation. In connection with the termination of the Trust, the Trust will, to the extent possible, convert its assets into cash and, after paying or making adequate provision for all of the Trust's liabilities, distribute the net assets of the Trust to unitholders, on a pro rata basis, as soon as practicable after the termination date.

FEES AND EXPENSES

This table lists the fees and expenses that the Trust pays for the continued operation of its business and that unitholders may have to pay if they invest in the Trust. Payment of these fees and expenses will reduce the value of the unitholders' investment in the Trust. The unitholders will have to pay fees and expenses directly if they redeem their trust units for physical gold bullion and silver bullion.

Fees and Expenses Payable by the Trust

The Trust will retain cash from the net proceeds of each of its offerings of trust units in an amount not exceeding 3% of the net proceeds of each such offering, which has been added to its available funds to be used for its ongoing expenses and cash redemptions. From time to time, the Trust will sell physical gold bullion and silver bullion to replenish this cash reserve to meet its expenses and cash redemptions.

Fees and Expenses Payable Directly by Unitholders

RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully the risks described below before making an investment decision. You should also refer to the other information included and incorporated by reference herein, including but not limited to the AIF, the Financial Statements and the MRFP. See "Documents Incorporated by Reference".

Global events outside the Trust's control, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, may adversely affect the Trust's business, financial condition and result of operations.

The Trust cautions that current global uncertainty with respect to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its ongoing effect on the broader global and local economy may have a significant negative effect on the Trust, such as continuing decreases of the willingness of the general population to travel, causing staff shortages, market fluctuations in the price of gold or silver, and increased government regulation, all of which may negatively impact the Trust's business, financial condition and results of operations including the ability for the Trust to provide services, including but not limited to, the Trust's ability to carry out unitholders' redemption requests and its ability to deliver physical gold or silver bullion, including increased delivery times and/or associated costs.

In addition, governments may take additional preventative measures such as imposing travel restrictions, closing points of entry or enacting emergency legislation. These preventative measures along with market uncertainty could have a material adverse impact on taxation, liquidity of units and other unitholder rights generally.

Other global events that may adversely affect the Trust's business, financial condition and result of operations include Russia's invasion of Ukraine which has led to sanctions being levied against Russia by the international community and may result in additional sanctions or other international action, any of which may have a destabilizing effect on commodity prices, supply chain and global economies more broadly. Volatility in commodity prices and supply chain disruptions may adversely affect the Trust's business and financial condition. The extent and duration of the current Russian-Ukrainian conflict and related international action cannot be accurately predicted at this time and the effects of such conflict may magnify the impact of the other risks identified in this Prospectus, including those relating to commodity price volatility and global financial conditions.

A large purchase of physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion by the Trust in connection with an offering may temporarily affect the price of gold and/or silver.

Depending on the size of an offering, the amount of gold and/or silver that the Trust will purchase in connection with an offering may be significant on a short term basis and such purchase may have the effect of temporarily increasing the spot price of physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion. In the event that the purchase of physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion by the Trust in connection with an offering temporarily increases the spot price of physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion, the Trust will be able to purchase a smaller amount of physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion with the proceeds of an offering than otherwise, and if the spot price of physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion decreases after the purchase of physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion by the Trust, such decrease would decrease the NAV of the Trust.

A delay in the purchase by the Trust of physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion with the net proceeds of an offering may result in the Trust purchasing less physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion than it could have purchased earlier.

The Trust intends to purchase physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion with the net proceeds of an offering as described in this prospectus as soon as practicable. The Trust may not be able to purchase immediately all of the required physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion. Although the Trust will endeavor to complete the necessary purchases as quickly as practicable, there may be a delay in the completion of the Trust's purchases of physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion. If physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion prices increase between the time of completion of an offering and the time the Trust completes its purchases of physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion, whether or not caused by the Trust's acquisition of physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion, the amount of physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion the Trust will be able to purchase will be less than it would have been able to purchase had it been able to complete its purchases of the

required physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion immediately. In either of these circumstances, the quantity of physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion purchased per trust unit will be reduced, which will have a negative effect on the value of the trust units.

Factors outside of the control of the Trust and the Manager may result in the Trust having a greater proportion of its assets invested in physical gold or silver bullion.

The Trust intends to purchase amounts of each of physical gold and silver bullion with the net proceeds of an offering as described in this prospectus (less the amount to be held by the Trust to pay ongoing expenses) with a long-term view to maintaining a relatively consistent ratio of gold and silver. The Trust may not be able to purchase all of the required physical gold and silver bullion depending on the amount of physical gold and silver bullion available for purchase at the relevant time and other factors outside of its control, such as supply chain-related delays in purchasing physical gold and silver and liquidity. In these circumstances, the Trust may acquire a greater quantity of physical gold and silver resulting in the Trust holding an overall greater quantity and/or value of physical gold and silver bullion. The Manager may seek to allocate any additional proceeds raised in any subsequent offerings of trust units, and/or allocate sales of physical gold and/or silver bullion to pay operating expenses, to rebalance the value of the Trust's holdings of physical gold and silver bullion to the target ratio of gold and silver bullion.

If there is a loss, damage or destruction of the Trust's physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion in the custody of the Mint and the Trust does not give timely notice, all claims against the Mint will be deemed waived.

In the event that either party to the Gold and Silver Storage Agreement discovers loss, damage or destruction of the Trust's physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion in the Mint's custody, care and control, such party must give written notice to the other party within five Mint business days, in the case of the Manager's notice, and one Mint business day, in the case of the Mint's notice, after its discovery of any such loss, damage or destruction, but, in the event that the Manager receives a written notice from the Mint in which a discrepancy in the quantity of physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion first appears, it shall give the Mint a notice of loss no later than 60 days following receipt of said written statement. Should the Manager, for and on behalf of the Trust, either fail to give a notice of loss with respect to a loss, damage or destruction of physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion or fail to bring an action, suit or proceeding within 12 months from the discovery of a loss, damage or destruction, notwithstanding that a notice of loss has been given, all claims with respect to such loss, damage or destruction shall be deemed to be waived and no action, suit or other proceeding can be brought against the Mint. The loss of the right to make a claim or of the ability to bring an action, suit or other proceeding against the Mint may mean that any such loss will be non-recoverable, which will have an adverse effect on the value of the net assets of the Trust and the NAV.

Canadian Registered Plans that redeem their trust units for physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion may be subject to adverse consequences.

Physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion received by a Canadian Registered Plan (as defined below), such as a registered retirement savings plan ("RRSP"), on a redemption of trust units for physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion will not be a qualified investment for such plan. Accordingly, such plans (and in the case of certain plans, the annuitants or beneficiaries thereunder or holders thereof) may be subject to adverse Canadian tax consequences.

The trading price of the trust units could potentially be more volatile relative to NAV.

The trading price of the trust units may become more volatile relative to NAV and could be impacted by various factors which may be unrelated or disproportionate to the price of gold and/or silver, including market trends and the sentiment of investors towards gold and, in particular, silver.

The Trust and other exchange-traded products that invest in gold or, in particular, silver have experienced material increases in average daily trading volumes, which may cause greater price volatility. If trading volumes were to decline significantly, that could negatively impact the trading price of the Trust and could result in wider differences between the Trust's trading price and the NAV per trust unit. If you purchase trust units at a premium to NAV, you may incur losses if the factors that have contributed to the increase in premium to NAV were to disappear.

Tax treatment of realized gains and losses.

The Canada Revenue Agency (the "CRA") has expressed the opinion that gains (or losses) resulting from certain transactions in commodities should generally be treated for purposes of the Tax Act as being derived from an adventure in the nature in trade, so that, subject to the particular facts, such transactions give rise to ordinary income rather than capital gains. As the Manager intends for the Trust to be a long-term holder of physical gold and silver bullion and does not anticipate that the Trust will sell its physical gold and/or silver bullion (otherwise than where necessary to fund in specie on a redemption of trust units), the Manager anticipates that the Trust generally will treat gains (or losses) as a result of dispositions of physical gold and silver bullion as capital gains (or capital losses). If the CRA were to assess or re-assess the Trust on the basis that gains realized on dispositions of physical gold and silver were not on capital account, then the Trust could be required to pay Canadian income tax on the full amount of such gains under Part I of the Tax Act to the extent such gains were not distributed to unitholders, which could reduce the NAV for all unitholders.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the net proceeds that the Trust will receive from the issue of its trust units will be used to acquire physical gold bullion and/or silver bullion in accordance with the Trust's objective and subject to the Trust's investment and operating restrictions described herein. See "Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust - Business of the Trust - Investment Objectives of the Trust" and "Investment and Operating Restrictions".

CAPITALIZATION

There have been no material changes in the Trust's capitalization since the date of the Financial Statements, being the most recently filed financial statements of the Trust, other than: (i) as a result of changes in the price of gold and/or silver; and (ii) as described under the heading "Prior Sales" below. On April 5, 2023, the total NAV of the Trust and the NAV per unit of the Trust were US$4,330,807,063 and US$20.1482, respectively, and there were a total of 214,947,991 units of the Trust issued and outstanding.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST UNITS

The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of trust units in one or more classes and series of a class. Currently, the Trust has issued only one class or series of trust units, which are the class of trust units that will be qualified by this prospectus. The Trust may create one or more new classes of trust units only with the prior approval of a majority of unitholders. Each trust unit of a class or series of a class represents an undivided ownership interest in the net assets of the Trust attributable to that class or series of a class of trust units. Trust units are transferable and redeemable at the option of the unitholder in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Trust Agreement. All trust units of the same class or series of a class have equal rights and privileges with respect to all matters, including voting, receipt of distributions from the Trust, liquidation and other events in connection with the Trust. Trust units and fractions thereof are issued only as fully paid and non-assessable. Trust units have no preference, conversion, exchange or pre-emptive rights. Each whole trust unit of a particular class or series of a class entitles the holder thereof to a vote at meetings of unitholders where all classes vote together, or to a vote at meetings of unitholders where that particular class or series of a class of unitholders votes separately as a class.

The Trust may not issue trust units except (i) if the net proceeds per trust unit to be received by the Trust are not less than 100% of the most recently calculated NAV per trust unit immediately prior to, or upon, the determination of the pricing of such issuance or (ii) by way of trust unit distribution in connection with an income distribution.

PRIOR SALES

The following table summarizes the trust units that have been issued from treasury during the 12-month period before the date of this prospectus.

MARKET PRICE OF TRUST UNITS

The trust units are traded on the NYSE Arca under the symbol "CEF" and on the TSX under the symbols "CEF" ​(Canadian dollar denominated) and "CEF.U" ​(U.S. dollar denominated). The following table sets forth the high and low prices and monthly average trading volume for the trust units on the TSX (as reported by TSX) and the NYSE Arca (as reported by the NYSE Arca) for each month during the 12-month period before the date of this prospectus.

Includes volume traded on other United States exchanges and trading markets.

​

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Trust may sell the trust units to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals to one or more purchasers directly, or through agents designated from time to time by the Manager on behalf of the Trust. Subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement pursuant to which the Trust was established, the trust units may be sold at fixed prices or non-fixed prices, such as prices determined by reference to the prevailing market price of the trust units at the time of sale or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers, which prices may vary between purchasers and during the period of distribution of the trust units. The prospectus supplement for any of the trust units being offered thereby will set forth the terms of the offering of such trust units, including the name or names of underwriters, dealers or agents, any underwriting discounts and

other items constituting underwriters' compensation, any public offering price (or the manner of determination thereof if offered on a non-fixed price basis, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be "at the market" distributions as defined in NI 44-102) and any discounts or concessions allowed or paid to dealers or agents. Only underwriters so named in the relevant prospectus supplement will be deemed to be underwriters in connection with the trust units offered thereby.

In accordance with paragraph 9.3(2) of NI 81-102, the issue price of the trust units will not (a) as far as reasonably practicable, be a price that causes dilution of the NAV of the Trust's other outstanding securities at the time of issue and (b) be a price that is less than the most recently calculated NAV per trust unit. Accordingly, the trust units sold pursuant to the offering will not be sold at an issue price that is less than 100% of the most recently calculated NAV per trust unit immediately prior to, or upon, the determination of the pricing of such issuance.

If underwriters are used in connection with an offering, other than an "at-the-market" distribution, the trust units will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase such trust units will be subject to certain conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the trust units offered by the prospectus supplement if any of such trust units are purchased. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

In connection with an offering, the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, may over-allot or effect transactions intended to fix or stabilize the market price of the trust units at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. An over-allotment, if any, involves sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a short position. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. These transactions may cause the price of the trust units sold in an offering to be higher than they would otherwise be. The size of the over-allotment, if any, is not known at this time. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

No underwriter or dealer involved in an at-the-market distribution, no affiliate of such underwriter or dealer and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such underwriter or dealer, may, in connection with the distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the trust units distributed under the at-the-market prospectus, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of trust units that would result in the underwriter or dealer creating an over-allocation position in the trust units.

The trust units may also be sold directly by the Trust at such prices and upon such terms as are agreed to by the Manager, on behalf of the Trust, and the purchaser or through agents designated by the Manager on behalf of the Trust from time to time. Any agent involved in the offering and sale of the trust units in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by the Trust to such agent will be set forth, in a prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent would be acting on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the trust units may be entitled, under agreements to be entered into with the Trust, to indemnification by the Trust against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof.

MATERIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following are the material U.S. federal income tax considerations for U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the ownership and disposition of trust units. This discussion does not purport to deal with the tax consequences of owning trust units to all categories of investors, some of which, such as dealers in securities, regulated investment companies, tax-exempt organizations, investors whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar and investors that own, actually or under applicable constructive ownership rules, 10% or more of the trust units, may be subject to special rules. This discussion does not address U.S. state or local tax, U.S. federal estate or gift tax or foreign tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of trust units. This

discussion deals only with unitholders who hold the trust units as a capital asset (generally, property held for investment purposes). You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisors concerning the overall tax consequences arising in your own particular situation under U.S. federal, state, local or foreign law of the ownership of trust units.

The following discussion of U.S. federal income tax matters is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code"), judicial decisions, administrative pronouncements, and existing and proposed regulations issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury Regulations"), all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Classification of the Trust

The Trust has filed an affirmative election with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders

As used herein, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of less than 10% of trust units that is a U.S. citizen or resident for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. corporation or other U.S. entity taxable as a corporation, an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

If a partnership (including an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds the trust units, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. However, a U.S. person that is an individual, trust or estate and that owns trust units through a partnership generally will be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation described below that are applicable to U.S. Individual Holders (as defined below). If a unitholder is a partner in a partnership holding the trust units, such unitholder should consult with his, her or its tax advisor.

Distributions

The Trust does not anticipate making regular cash distributions to unitholders. Subject to the passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") discussion below, any distributions made by the Trust with respect to the trust units to a U.S. Holder will generally constitute dividends, which will generally be taxable as ordinary income to the extent of the Trust's current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of the Trust's earnings and profits will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder's tax basis in his, her or its trust units on a dollar-for-dollar basis and thereafter as gain from the disposition of trust units. Since the Trust will be a PFIC, as described below, dividends paid on the trust units to a U.S. Holder who is an individual, trust or estate (a "U.S. Individual Holder"), will generally not be treated as "qualified dividend income" that is taxable to U.S. Individual Holders at preferential tax rates. Any dividends generally will be treated as foreign-source income for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

Redemption of Trust Units

As described under "Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust - Business of the Trust - Redemption of Trust Units for Physical Gold Bullion and Silver Bullion" and "Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust - Business of the Trust - Redemption of Trust Units for Cash", a U.S. Holder may have trust units redeemed for cash or physical gold bullion and silver bullion. Under Section 302 of the Code, a U.S. Holder generally will be treated as having sold his, her or its trust units (rather than having received a distribution on the trust units) upon the redemption of trust units if the redemption completely terminates or significantly reduces the U.S. Holder's interest in the Trust. In such case, the redemption will be treated as described in the relevant section below depending on whether the U.S. Holder makes a qualified electing fund ("QEF") election, a mark-to-market election or makes no election and therefore is subject to the Default PFIC Regime (as defined below).

PFIC Status and Significant Tax Consequences

Special U.S. federal income tax rules apply to a U.S. Holder that holds stock in a foreign corporation classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, the Trust will be treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder if, for any taxable year in which such U.S. Holder held the trust units, either:

•

at least 75% of the Trust's gross income for such taxable year consists of passive income; or

​

•

at least 50% of the average value of the assets held by the Trust during such taxable year produce, or are held for the production of, passive income.

​

For purposes of these tests, "passive income" includes dividends, interest, and gains from the sale or exchange of investment property (including commodities). The income that the Trust derives from its sales of physical gold bullion and silver bullion is expected to be treated as passive income for this purpose. Since substantially all of the Trust's assets will consist of physical gold bullion and silver bullion and the Trust expects to derive substantially all of its income from the sales of physical gold bullion and silver bullion, it is expected the Trust will be treated as a PFIC for each of its taxable years.

Assuming the Trust is a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will be subject to different taxation rules depending on whether the U.S. Holder (1) makes an election to treat the Trust as a QEF, which is referred to as a QEF election, (2) makes a mark-to-market election with respect to the trust units, or (3) makes no election and therefore is subject to the Default PFIC Regime. As discussed in detail below, making a QEF election or a mark-to-market election generally will mitigate the otherwise adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences under the Default PFIC Regime. However, the mark-to-market election may not be as favorable as the QEF election because a U.S. Holder generally will recognize income each year attributable to any appreciation in the U.S. Holder's trust units without a corresponding distribution of cash or other property.

Assuming that the Trust is a PFIC, a U.S. Holder is generally required to file an annual report with the IRS reporting his, her or its investment in the Trust.

Taxation of U.S. Holders Making a Timely QEF Election

Making the Election. A U.S. Holder would make a QEF election with respect to any year that the Trust is a PFIC by filing IRS Form 8621 with his, her or its U.S. federal income tax return. The Trust intends to annually provide each U.S. Holder with all necessary information in order to make and maintain a QEF election. A U.S. Holder who makes a QEF election for the first taxable year in which he, she or it owns trust units, or an Electing Holder, will not be subject to the Default PFIC Regime for any taxable year. The Trust will refer to an Electing Holder that is a U.S. Individual Holder as a Non-Corporate Electing Holder. A U.S. Holder who does not make a timely QEF election would be subject to the Default PFIC Regime for taxable years during his, her or its holding period in which a QEF election was not in effect, unless such U.S. Holder makes a special "purging" election. A U.S. Holder who does not make a timely QEF election is encouraged to consult such U.S. Holder's tax advisor regarding the availability of such purging election.

Current Taxation and Dividends. An Electing Holder must report each year for U.S. federal income tax purposes his, her or its pro rata share of the Trust's ordinary earnings and the Trust's net capital gain, if any, for the Trust's taxable year that ends with or within the taxable year of the Electing Holder, regardless of whether or not distributions were received from the Trust by the Electing Holder. A Non-Corporate Electing Holder's pro rata share of the Trust's net capital gain generally will be taxable at a maximum rate of 28% under current law to the extent attributable to sales of physical gold bullion and silver bullion by the Trust if the Trust has held the gold bullion and silver bullion for more than one year. Otherwise, such gain generally will be treated as ordinary income.

If any unitholder redeems his, her or its trust units for physical gold bullion and silver bullion (regardless of whether the unitholder requesting redemption is a U.S. Holder or an Electing Holder), the Trust will be treated as if it sold physical gold bullion and silver bullion for its fair market value in order to redeem the unitholder's trust units. As a result, any Electing Holder will be required to currently include in income his, her or its pro rata share of the Trust's gain from such deemed disposition (taxable to a Non-Corporate Electing Holder at a maximum rate of 28% under current law if the Trust has held the physical gold bullion and silver bullion for more than one year) even though the deemed disposition by the Trust is not attributable to any

action on the Electing Holder's part. If any unitholder redeems trust units for cash and the Trust sells physical gold bullion and silver bullion to fund the redemption (regardless of whether the unitholder requesting redemption is a U.S. Holder or an Electing Holder), an Electing Holder similarly will include in income his, her or its pro rata share of the Trust's gain from the sale of the physical gold bullion and silver bullion, which will be taxable as described above even though the Trust's sale of physical gold bullion and silver bullion is not attributable to any action on the Electing Holder's part. An Electing Holder's adjusted tax basis in the trust units will be increased to reflect any amounts currently included in income under the QEF rules. Distributions of earnings and profits that had been previously included in income will result in a corresponding reduction in the adjusted tax basis in the trust units and will not be taxed again once distributed. Any other distributions generally will be treated as discussed above under "Material Tax Considerations - Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders - Distributions".

Income inclusions under the QEF rules described above generally should be treated as foreign-source income for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes, but Electing Holders should consult their tax advisors in this regard.

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition. An Electing Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange, or other disposition of the trust units in an amount equal to the excess of the amount realized on such disposition over the Electing Holder's adjusted tax basis in the trust units. Such gain or loss will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss if the Electing Holder's holding period in the trust units is greater than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or other disposition. Long-term capital gains of U.S. Individual Holders currently are taxable at a maximum rate of 20%. An Electing Holder's ability to deduct capital losses is subject to certain limitations. Any gain or loss generally will be treated as U.S.-source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

An Electing Holder that redeems his, her or its trust units will be required to currently include in income his, her or its pro rata share of the Trust's gain from the deemed or actual disposition of physical gold bullion and silver bullion, as described above, which will be taxable to a Non-Corporate Electing Holder at a maximum rate of 28% under current law if the Trust has held the physical gold bullion and silver bullion for more than one year. The Electing Holder's adjusted tax basis in the trust units will be increased to reflect such gain that is included in income. The Electing Holder will further recognize capital gain or loss on the redemption in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the physical gold bullion and silver bullion or cash received upon redemption over the Electing Holder's adjusted tax basis in the trust units. Such gain or loss will be treated as described in the preceding paragraph.

Taxation of U.S. Holders Making a Mark-to-Market Election

Making the Election. Alternatively, if, as is anticipated, the trust units are treated as "marketable stock", a U.S. Holder would be allowed to make a mark-to-market election with respect to the trust units, provided the U.S. Holder completes and files IRS Form 8621 in accordance with the relevant instructions and related Treasury Regulations. The trust units will be treated as marketable stock for this purpose if they are regularly traded on a qualified exchange or other market. The trust units will be regularly traded on a qualified exchange or other market for any calendar year during which they are traded (other than in de minimis quantities) on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. A qualified exchange or other market means either a U.S. national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, the NASDAQ, or a foreign securities exchange that is regulated or supervised by a governmental authority of the country in which the market is located and which satisfies certain regulatory and other requirements. The Trust believes that both the TSX and the NYSE Arca should be treated as a qualified exchange or other market for this purpose.

Current Taxation and Dividends. If the mark-to-market election is made, the U.S. Holder generally would include as ordinary income in each taxable year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the trust units at the end of the taxable year over such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the trust units. The U.S. Holder would also be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the trust units over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. Any income inclusion or loss under the preceding rules should be treated as gain or loss from the sale of trust units for purposes of determining the source of the income or loss. Accordingly, any such gain or loss generally should be treated as U.S.-source income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes. A U.S. Holder's tax basis in his, her

or its trust units would be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amount. Distributions by the Trust to a U.S. Holder who has made a mark-to-market election generally will be treated as discussed above under "Material Tax Considerations - Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders - Distributions."

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition. Gain realized on the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of the trust units would be treated as ordinary income, and any loss realized on the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of the trust units would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent that such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included by the U.S. Holder. Any loss in excess of such previous inclusions would be treated as a capital loss by the U.S. Holder. A U.S. Holder's ability to deduct capital losses is subject to certain limitations. Any such gain or loss generally should be treated as U.S.-source income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

Taxation of U.S. Holders Not Making a Timely QEF or Mark-to-Market Election

Finally, a U.S. Holder who does not make either a QEF election or a mark-to-market election for that year, or a Non-Electing Holder, would be subject to special rules (the "Default PFIC Regime") with respect to (1) any excess distribution (i.e., the portion of any distributions received by the Non-Electing Holder on the trust units in a taxable year in excess of 125% of the average annual distributions received by the Non-Electing Holder in the three preceding taxable years, or, if shorter, the Non-Electing Holder's holding period for the trust units), and (2) any gain realized on the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of the trust units.

Under the Default PFIC Regime:

•

the excess distribution or gain would be allocated rateably over the Non-Electing Holder's aggregate holding period for the trust units;

​

•

the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year before the Trust became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income; and

​

•

the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to tax at the highest rate of tax in effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year, and an interest charge for the deemed tax deferral benefit would be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other taxable year.

​

Any distributions other than "excess distributions" by the Trust to a Non-Electing Holder will be treated as discussed above under "Material Tax Considerations - Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders - Distributions".

The penalties would not apply to a pension or profit sharing trust or other tax-exempt organization that did not borrow funds or otherwise utilize leverage in connection with its acquisition of the trust units. If a Non-Electing Holder who is an individual dies while owning the trust units, such Non-Electing Holder's successor generally would not receive a step-up in tax basis with respect to the trust units.

3.8% Tax on Net Investment Income

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or, in certain cases, a trust, will generally be subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (1) the U.S. Holder's net investment income for the taxable year; and (2) the excess of the U.S. Holder's modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals will be between $125,000 and $250,000). A U.S. Holder's net investment income will generally include dividends distributed by the Trust and capital gains from the sale, redemption or other disposition of the trust units. This tax is in addition to any income taxes due on such investment income.

Under Treasury Regulations generally effective for taxable years after December 31, 2013, income inclusions under the QEF rules would not be considered "net investment income" unless: (1) the Electing Holder holds the trust units in connection with a trade or business of trading in financial instruments or commodities; or (2) the Electing Holder elects to treat the income inclusion under the QEF rules as "net investment income". If an Electing Holder does not make this election, such holder's tax basis in the trust units would not be increased by the amount of income inclusions under the QEF rules for purposes of calculating

"net investment income" upon the sale, redemption or other disposition of the trust units. With respect to a U.S. Holder that has made a mark-to-market election with respect to the trust units, income inclusions under the mark-to-market election would be included in the calculation of "net investment income". An excess distribution made to a U.S. Holder subject to the Default PFIC Regime would be included in "net investment income" to the extent that such distribution constitutes a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If you are a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or trust, you are encouraged to consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of the 3.8% tax on net investment income to your trust units.

Foreign Taxes

Distributions, if any, by the Trust may be subject to Canadian withholding taxes as discussed under "Material Tax Considerations - Canadian Taxation of Unitholders - Unitholders Not Resident in Canada". A U.S. Holder may elect to either treat such taxes as a credit against U.S. federal income taxes, subject to certain limitations, or deduct his, her or its share of such taxes in computing such U.S. Holder's U.S. federal taxable income. No deduction for foreign taxes may be claimed by an individual who does not itemize deductions.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Payments made within the United States, or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, of dividends on, or proceeds arising from the sale or other taxable disposition of, trust units generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, currently at the rate of 24%, if a U.S. Holder fails to furnish its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on IRS Form W-9), and to make certain certifications, or otherwise fails to establish an exemption. Backup withholding tax is not an additional tax. Rather, a U.S. Holder generally may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld under backup withholding rules that exceed his, her, or its U.S. federal income tax liability by filing a refund claim with the IRS.

U.S. Holders may be subject to certain IRS filing requirements as a result of holding trust units. For example, a U.S. person who transfers property (including cash) to a foreign corporation in exchange for stock in the corporation is in some cases required to file an information return on IRS Form 926 with the IRS with respect to such transfer. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder may be required to file Form 926 with respect to its acquisition of trust units in an offering. Depending on the number of trust units held, acquired or disposed of by a U.S. Holder, the U.S. Holder may also be required to file an information return on IRS Form 5471 with the IRS. U.S. Holders also may be required to file FinCEN Form 114 Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts with respect to their investment in the Trust.

Pursuant to recently enacted legislation, U.S. Holders who are individuals (and to the extent specified in applicable Treasury Regulations, certain U.S. entities) who hold "specified foreign financial assets" ​(as defined in Section 6038D of the Code) are required to file IRS Form 8938 with information relating to the asset for each taxable year in which the aggregate value of all such assets exceeds $75,000 at any time during the taxable year or $50,000 on the last day of the taxable year (or such higher dollar amount as prescribed by applicable Treasury Regulations). Specified foreign financial assets would include, among other assets, the trust units, unless the trust units are held through an account maintained with a U.S. financial institution. Substantial penalties apply to any failure to timely file IRS Form 8938, unless the failure is shown to be due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. Additionally, in the event a U.S. Holder who is an individual (and to the extent specified in applicable Treasury regulations, a U.S. entity) that is required to file IRS Form 8938 does not file such form, the statute of limitations on the assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes of such holder for the related tax year may not close until three years after the date that the required information is filed. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their reporting obligations under this legislation or any other applicable filing requirements.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act provisions of Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act ("FATCA") provide that the Trust must disclose the name, address and taxpayer identification number of certain U.S. persons that own, directly or indirectly, an interest in the Trust, as well as certain other information relating to any such interest pursuant to an Intergovernmental Agreement between the United States and

Canada (the "Canadian IGA") and any applicable Canadian legislation or regulations implementing the Canadian IGA. If the Trust fails to comply with these requirements, then a 30% withholding tax will be imposed on payments to the Trust of U.S. source income and proceeds from the sale of property that could give rise to U.S. source interest or dividends. The withholding tax provisions of FATCA became effective on July 1, 2014 with respect to income; the withholding provisions of FATCA applicable to proceeds from the sale of property that could give rise to U.S. source interest or dividends have been delayed by temporary Treasury regulations and would be eliminated by proposed Treasury regulations.

Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is, as of the date hereof, a general description of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable under the Tax Act to the acquisition, holding and disposition of trust units by a unitholder. This description is generally applicable to a unitholder who deals at arm's length and is not affiliated with the Trust and holds trust units as capital property. Trust units will generally be considered capital property to a unitholder unless the unitholder holds the trust units in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities or has acquired the trust units in a transaction or transactions considered to be an adventure in the nature of trade. Canadian-resident unitholders who are not traders or dealers in securities and who might not otherwise be considered to hold their trust units as capital property may be entitled to have their trust units (and every other "Canadian security" owned by them in that taxation year or any subsequent taxation year) treated as capital property by making the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act. Such unitholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability and appropriateness of making this election having regard to their particular circumstances and the anticipated commodity holdings of the Trust.

This description is not applicable to a unitholder: (i) that is a "financial institution", (ii) that is a "specified financial institution", (iii) that has elected to determine its Canadian tax results in accordance with the "functional currency" rules, (iv) an interest in which is a "tax shelter investment", or (v) who enters into a "derivative forward agreement" with respect to the trust units (as all such terms are defined in the Tax Act). This description assumes that the Trust is not subject to a "loss restriction event", as defined in the Tax Act. In addition, this description does not address the deductibility of interest by a unitholder who has borrowed to acquire trust units. All such unitholders should consult with their own tax advisors.

This description is also based on the assumption (discussed below under "Material Tax Considerations - Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - SIFT Trust Rules") that the Trust will at no time be a "SIFT trust" as defined in the Tax Act.

This description is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act, the regulations thereunder, all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the regulations publicly announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the "Tax Proposals"), and an understanding of the current administrative and assessing policies of the CRA. There can be no assurance that the Tax Proposals will be implemented in their current form or at all, nor can there be any assurance that the CRA will not change its administrative or assessing practices. This description further assumes that the Trust will comply with the Trust Agreement and that the Manager and the Trust will comply with a certificate issued to Canadian counsel regarding certain factual matters. Except for the Tax Proposals, this description does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any change in the law, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial decision or action, which may affect adversely any income tax consequences described herein, and does not take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax considerations, which may differ significantly from those described herein.

This description is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal tax considerations applicable to an investment in trust units. Moreover, the income and other tax consequences of acquiring, holding or disposing of trust units will vary depending on a taxpayer's particular circumstances. Accordingly, this description is of a general nature only and is not intended to constitute legal or tax advice to any unitholder or prospective purchaser of trust units. You should consult with your own tax advisors about tax consequences of an investment in trust units based on your particular circumstances.

For the purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of trust units (including distributions, adjusted cost base and proceeds of disposition), or transactions of the Trust, must be expressed in Canadian dollars. Amounts denominated in United States dollars must be

converted into Canadian dollars using the rate of exchange quoted by the Bank of Canada on the day on which the amount first arose or such other rate of exchange as is acceptable to the CRA.

Qualification as a Mutual Fund Trust

This description is based on the assumptions that the Trust will qualify at all times as a "unit trust" and a "mutual fund trust" within the meaning of the Tax Act. The Manager expects that the Trust will meet the requirements necessary for it to qualify as a mutual fund trust at all times.

One of the conditions to qualify as a mutual fund trust for the purposes of the Tax Act is that the Trust has not been established or maintained primarily for the benefit of non-residents unless, at all times, all or substantially all of the Trust's property consists of property other than "taxable Canadian property" within the meaning of the Tax Act. Physical gold bullion and silver bullion is not "taxable Canadian property". Accordingly, based on the investment objectives and investment restrictions, the Trust should not hold any such property.

In addition, to qualify as a mutual fund trust: (i) the Trust must be a Canadian resident "unit trust" for purposes of the Tax Act; (ii) the only undertaking of the Trust must be (a) the investing of its funds in property (other than real property or interests in real property), or (b) the acquiring, holding, maintaining, improving, leasing or managing of any real property (or interest in real property) that is capital property of the Trust, or (c) any combination of the activities described in (a) and (b); and (iii) the Trust must comply with certain minimum requirements regarding the ownership and dispersal of trust units (the "minimum distribution requirements"). In this regard, the Manager intends to cause the Trust to qualify as a unit trust throughout the life of the Trust; that the Trust's undertaking conforms with the restrictions for mutual fund trusts; and that it has no reason to believe at the date hereof that the Trust will not comply with the minimum distribution requirements at all material times.

If the Trust were not to qualify as a mutual fund trust at all times, the income tax considerations described in this description and under "Eligibility Under the Tax Act for Investment by Canadian Exempt Plans" would, in some respects, be materially and adversely different.

Canadian Taxation of the Trust

Each taxation year of the Trust will end on December 31. In each taxation year, the Trust will be subject to tax under Part I of the Tax Act on any income for the year, including net realized taxable capital gains, less the portion thereof that it deducts in respect of the amounts paid or payable in the year to unitholders. An amount will be considered to be payable to a unitholder in a taxation year if it is paid to the unitholder in the year by the Trust or if the unitholder is entitled in that year to enforce payment of the amount.

The Trust intends to deduct, in computing its income in each taxation year, such amount in each year as will be sufficient to ensure that the Trust will generally not be liable for income tax under Part I of the Tax Act. The Trust will be entitled for each taxation year to reduce (or receive a refund in respect of) its liability, if any, for tax on its capital gains by an amount determined under the Tax Act based on the redemption of trust units during the year. Based on the foregoing, the Trust will generally not be liable for income tax under Part I of the Tax Act.

The CRA has expressed the opinion that gains (or losses) of mutual fund trusts resulting from transactions in commodities should generally be treated for purposes of the Tax Act as being derived from an adventure in the nature in trade, so that such transactions give rise to ordinary income rather than capital gains - although the treatment in each particular case remains a question of fact to be determined having regard to all the circumstances. In the view of Canadian counsel, the holding by the Trust of physical gold bullion and silver bullion with no intention of disposing of such bullion except in specie on a redemption of trust units likely would not represent an adventure in the nature of trade so that a disposition, on a redemption of trust units, of physical gold bullion and silver bullion that previously had been acquired with such intention would likely give rise to a capital gain (or capital loss) to the Trust. As the Manager intends for the Trust to be a long-term holder of physical gold bullion and silver bullion and does not anticipate that the Trust will sell its physical gold bullion and silver bullion (otherwise than where necessary to fund expenses of the Trust), the Manager anticipates that the Trust generally will treat gains (or losses) as a result of dispositions of physical

gold bullion and silver bullion as capital gains (or capital losses), although depending on the circumstances, the Trust may instead include (or deduct) the full amount of such gains or losses in computing its income. If the CRA were to assess or re-assess the Trust on the basis that gains realized on dispositions of physical gold bullion and silver bullion were not on capital account, then the Trust could be required to pay Canadian income tax on such gains under Part I of the Tax Act to the extent such gains were not distributed to unitholders, and could be liable for taxes, penalties and interest under Part XIII of the Tax Act in connection with withholding tax which was not withheld on distributions to non-residents, which could reduce the NAV for all unitholders.

The Trust will also be required to include in its income for each taxation year all interest that accrues to it to the end of the year, or becomes receivable or is received by it before the end of the year, except to the extent that such interest was included in computing its income for a preceding taxation year. Upon the actual or deemed disposition of indebtedness, the Trust will be required to include in computing its income for the year of disposition all interest that accrued on such indebtedness from the last interest payment date to the date of disposition except to the extent such interest was included in computing the Trust's income for that or another taxation year, and such income inclusion will reduce the proceeds of disposition for purposes of computing any capital gain or loss.

Under the current provisions of the Tax Act, the Trust is entitled to deduct in computing its income reasonable administrative and other operating expenses (other than certain expenses on account of capital) incurred by it for the purposes of earning income (other than taxable capital gains). No assurance can be provided that administration expenses of the Trust will not be considered to be on account of capital. The Trust generally may also deduct from its income for the year a portion of the reasonable expenses incurred by it to issue trust units. The portion of the issue expenses deductible by the Trust in a taxation year is 20% of the total issue expenses, pro rated where the Trust's taxation year is less than 365 days.

Losses incurred by the Trust in a taxation year cannot be allocated to unitholders, but may be deducted by the Trust in future years in accordance with the Tax Act.

SIFT Trust Rules

The Trust will be a "SIFT trust" as defined in the Tax Act for a taxation year of the Trust if in that year the trust units are listed or traded on a stock exchange or other public market and the Trust holds one or more "non-portfolio properties", as defined in the Tax Act. If the Trust were a SIFT trust for a taxation year of the Trust, it would effectively be taxed similarly to a corporation on income and capital gains in respect of such non-portfolio properties at a combined federal/provincial tax rate comparable to rates that apply to income earned and distributed by Canadian corporations. Distributions of such income received by unitholders would be treated as dividends from a taxable Canadian corporation.

Physical gold bullion and silver bullion and other property of the Trust will be non-portfolio property if such property is used by the Trust (or by a person or partnership with which it does not deal at arm's length within the meaning of the Tax Act) in the course of carrying on a business in Canada. In some circumstances, significant holdings of "securities" ​(the term "security" is broadly defined in the Tax Act) of other entities could also be non-portfolio property.

The Trust is subject to investment restrictions, including a prohibition against carrying on any business, that are intended to ensure that it will not be a SIFT trust. The mere holding by the Trust of physical gold bullion and silver bullion as capital property (or as an adventure in the nature of trade) would not represent the use of such property in carrying on a business in Canada and, therefore, would not by itself cause the Trust to be a SIFT trust.

Canadian Taxation of Unitholders

Unitholders Resident in Canada

This part of the general description of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations is applicable to a unitholder who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable tax treaty, is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada at all relevant times (a "Canadian unitholder"). This portion of the description is

primarily directed at unitholders who are individuals. Unitholders who are Canadian resident corporations, trusts or other entities should consult their own tax advisors regarding their particular circumstances.

Canadian unitholders will generally be required to include in their income for tax purposes for a particular year the portion of the income of the Trust for that particular taxation year, including net realized taxable capital gains, if any, that is paid or payable to the Canadian unitholder in the particular taxation year, whether such amount is received in additional trust units or cash. Provided that appropriate designations are made by the Trust, such portion of its net taxable capital gains as is paid or payable to a Canadian unitholder will effectively retain its character and be treated as such in the hands of the unitholder for purposes of the Tax Act.

The non-taxable portion of any net realized capital gains of the Trust that is paid or payable to a Canadian unitholder in a taxation year will not be included in computing the Canadian unitholder's income for the year. Any other amount in excess of the income of the Trust that is paid or payable to a Canadian unitholder in such year also will not generally be included in the Canadian unitholder's income for the year. However, where such other amount is paid or payable to a Canadian unitholder (other than as proceeds of disposition of trust units), the Canadian unitholder generally will be required to reduce the adjusted cost base of a trust unit to the Canadian unitholder by such amount. To the extent that the adjusted cost base of a trust unit would otherwise be less than zero, the negative amount will be deemed to be a capital gain realized by the Canadian unitholder from the disposition of the trust unit and the Canadian unitholder's adjusted cost base in respect of the trust unit will be increased by the amount of such deemed capital gain to zero.

Upon the actual or deemed disposition of a trust unit, including its redemption, a capital gain (or a capital loss) will generally be realized to the extent that the proceeds of disposition of the trust unit exceed (or are exceeded by) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of the trust unit to the Canadian unitholder and any costs of disposition. For the purpose of determining the adjusted cost base to a Canadian unitholder of a trust unit, when a trust unit is acquired, the cost of the newly acquired trust unit will be averaged with the adjusted cost base of all trust units owned by the Canadian unitholder as capital property that were acquired before that time. For this purpose, the cost of trust units that have been issued as an additional distribution will generally be equal to the amount of the net income or capital gain distributed to the Canadian unitholder in trust units. A consolidation of trust units following a distribution paid in the form of additional trust units will not be regarded as a disposition of trust units and will not affect the aggregate adjusted cost base to a Canadian unitholder of trust units.

Under the Tax Act, one-half of capital gains ("taxable capital gains") are included in an individual's income and one-half of capital losses ("allowable capital losses") are generally deductible only against taxable capital gains. Any unused allowable capital losses may be carried back up to three taxation years and forward indefinitely and deducted against net taxable capital gains realized in any such other year to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act. Capital gains realized by individuals may give rise to alternative minimum tax. If any transactions of the Trust are reported by it on capital account but are subsequently determined by the CRA to be on income account, there may be an increase in the net income of the Trust for tax purposes and the taxable component of redemption proceeds (or any other amounts) distributed to unitholders, with the result that Canadian resident unitholders could be reassessed by the CRA to increase their taxable income by the amount of such increase.

If, at any time, the Trust delivers physical gold bullion and silver bullion to any Canadian unitholder upon a redemption of a Canadian unitholder's trust units, the Canadian unitholder's proceeds of disposition of the trust units will generally be equal to the aggregate of the fair market value of the distributed physical gold bullion and silver bullion and the amount of any cash received, less any capital gain or income realized by the Trust on the disposition of such physical gold bullion and silver bullion and allocated to the Canadian unitholder. The cost of any physical gold bullion and silver bullion distributed by the Trust in specie will generally be equal to the fair market value of such physical gold bullion and silver bullion at the time of the distribution. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trust has the authority, subject to the rules relating to the allocation of income and capital gains to redeeming unitholders discussed below, to distribute, allocate and designate any income or taxable capital gains of the Trust to a Canadian unitholder who has redeemed trust units during a year in an amount equal to the taxable capital gains or other income realized by the Trust as a result of such redemption (including any taxable capital gain or income realized by the Trust in distributing physical gold bullion and silver bullion to a unitholder who has redeemed trust units for such physical gold

bullion and silver bullion, and any taxable capital gain or income realized by it before, at or after the redemption on selling physical gold bullion and silver bullion in order to fund the payment of the cash redemption proceeds), or such other amount that is determined by the Trust to be reasonable. The Manager anticipates that the Trust may make such an allocation where the Manager determines that the Trust realized a capital gain on such redemption and the Trust had net realized capital gains for that year for which the Trust was not entitled to a capital gains refund (as described under "Material Tax Considerations - Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - Canadian Taxation of the Trust"). Any such allocations will reduce the redeeming Canadian unitholder's proceeds of disposition for the purposes of the Tax Act.

A trust that is a "mutual fund trust" for purposes of the Tax Act throughout a taxation year that paid or made payable to a unitholder an amount on a redemption of units (the "allocated amount") will be denied a deduction in computing its income for the taxation year in respect of the portion of the allocated amount (a) that would be, without reference to subsection 104(6) of the Tax Act, an amount paid out of the income (other than taxable capital gains) of the trust, and (b) that is a capital gain of the trust designated to a unitholder on a redemption, of units that exceeds the capital gain that would otherwise have been realized by the unitholder on the redemption, if the unitholder's proceeds from the disposition of that unit do not include the allocated amount. To the extent the Trust would be denied a deduction in respect of taxable capital gains that would otherwise have been designated to redeeming unitholders, such taxable capital gains may be made payable to the remaining, non-redeeming unitholders to ensure the Trust will not be liable for nonrefundable income tax thereon. Accordingly, the amounts of taxable distributions made to unitholders of the Trust may be greater than they would have been in the absence of such rules.

The Manager anticipates that the Trust generally will treat gains as a result of dispositions of physical gold bullion and silver bullion as capital gains (see above under "Material Tax Considerations - Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - Canadian Taxation of the Trust") and that it anticipates that when the Trust distributes physical gold bullion and silver bullion on the redemption of trust units by Canadian unitholders, any resulting taxable capital gains of the Trust (to the extent that there are resulting net realized capital gains of the Trust for the related taxation year) for which the Trust is not entitled to a capital gains refund, as described under "Canadian Taxation of the Trust" generally will be designated as taxable capital gains of such unitholders, subject to the rules relating to the allocation of capital gains to redeeming unitholders discussed above. If any transactions of the Trust are reported by it on capital account but are subsequently determined by the CRA to be on income account, there may be an increase in the net income of the Trust for tax purposes and the taxable component of redemption proceeds (or any other amounts) distributed to unitholders, with the result that Canadian unitholders could be reassessed by the CRA to increase their taxable income by the amount of such increase.

Unitholders Not Resident in Canada

This portion of the description is applicable to a unitholder who, at all relevant times for purposes of the Tax Act, has not been and is not resident in Canada or deemed to be resident in Canada and does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold its trust units in connection with a business that the unitholder carries on, or is deemed to carry on, in Canada at any time, and is not an insurer or bank who carries on an insurance or banking business or is deemed to carry on an insurance or banking business in Canada and elsewhere(a "Non-Canadian unitholder"). Prospective non-resident purchasers of trust units should consult their own tax advisors to determine their entitlement to relief under any income tax treaty between Canada and their jurisdiction of residence, based on their particular circumstances.

Any amount paid or credited by the Trust to a Non-Canadian unitholder as income of or from the Trust, whether such amount is received in additional trust units or cash (other than an amount that the Trust has designated in accordance with the Tax Act as a taxable capital gain) and including an amount paid on a redemption of trust units to a Non-Canadian unitholder that is designated as a distribution of income in accordance with the Trust Agreement generally will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at a rate of 25%, unless such rate is reduced under the provisions of an income tax treaty between Canada and the Non-Canadian unitholder's jurisdiction of residence. Pursuant to the Convention Between Canada and the United States of America With Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, as amended (the "Treaty"), a Non-Canadian unitholder who is a resident of the United States and entitled to benefits under the Treaty will generally be entitled to have the rate of Canadian withholding tax reduced to 15% of the amount of any

distribution that is paid or credited as income of or from the Trust. A Non-Canadian unitholder that is a religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organization that is resident in, and exempt from tax in, the United States may be exempt from Canadian withholding tax under the Treaty, provided that certain administrative procedures are observed regarding the registration of such unitholder.

Any amount paid or credited by the Trust to a Non-Canadian unitholder that the Trust has validly designated in accordance with the Tax Act as a taxable capital gain, including such an amount paid on a redemption of trust units, generally will not be subject to Canadian withholding tax or otherwise be subject to tax under the Tax Act.

The Trust does not presently own any "taxable Canadian property" and does not intend to own any taxable Canadian property. However, if the Trust realizes a capital gain on the disposition of a taxable Canadian property and that gain is treated under the Tax Act and in accordance with a designation by the Trust as being distributed to a Non-Canadian unitholder, there may be Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% (unless reduced by an applicable tax treaty) on both the taxable and non-taxable portions of the gain.

Any amount in excess of the income of the Trust that is paid or payable by the Trust to a Non-Canadian unitholder (including the non-taxable portion of capital gains realized by the Trust) generally will not be subject to Canadian withholding tax. Where such excess amount is paid or becomes payable to a Non-Canadian unitholder, otherwise than as proceeds of disposition or deemed disposition of trust units or any part thereof, the amount generally will reduce the adjusted cost base of the trust units held by such Non-Canadian unitholder. (However, the non-taxable portion of net realized capital gains of the Trust that is paid or payable to a Non-Canadian unitholder will not reduce the adjusted cost base of the trust units held by the Non-Canadian unitholder.) If, as a result of such reduction, the adjusted cost base to the Non-Canadian unitholder in any taxation year of trust units would otherwise be a negative amount, the Non-Canadian unitholder will be deemed to realize a capital gain in such amount for that year from the disposition of trust units. Such capital gain will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act, unless the trust units represent "taxable Canadian property" to such Non-Canadian unitholder. The Non-Canadian unitholder's adjusted cost base in respect of trust units will, immediately after the realization of such capital gain, be zero.

A disposition or deemed disposition of a trust unit by a Non-Canadian unitholder, whether on a redemption or otherwise, will not give rise to any capital gain subject to tax under the Tax Act, provided that the trust unit does not constitute "taxable Canadian property" of the Non-Canadian unitholder for purposes of the Tax Act. Trust units will not be "taxable Canadian property" of a Non-Canadian unitholder unless at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding their disposition by such Non-Canadian unitholder, (i) 25% or more of the issued trust units were owned by or belonged to one or more of the Non-Canadian unitholder, persons with whom the Non-Canadian unitholder did not deal at arm's length and partnerships in which the Non-Canadian unitholder or persons with whom the non-Canadian unitholder did not deal at arm's length holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships; and (ii) the trust units derived directly or indirectly more than 50% of their fair market value from any combination of "Canadian resource properties" ​(which definition in the Tax Act does not include gold bullion and silver bullion), real or immovable property situated in Canada, "timber resource properties" ​(as defined in the Tax Act) or options or interests in such properties or the trust units were otherwise deemed to be taxable Canadian property. Assuming that the Trust adheres to its mandate to invest and hold substantially all of its assets in physical gold bullion and silver bullion, the trust units should not be taxable Canadian property.

Even if trust units held by a Non-Canadian unitholder were "taxable Canadian property", a capital gain from the disposition of trust units may be exempted from tax under the Tax Act pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty or convention. A capital gain realized on the disposition of trust units by a Non-Canadian unitholder entitled to benefits under the Treaty (and who is not a former resident of Canada for purposes of the Treaty) should be exempt from tax under the Tax Act.

Non-Canadian unitholders whose trust units constitute "taxable Canadian property" and who are not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax treaty are referred to the discussion above under "Material Tax Considerations - Canadian Taxation of Unitholders - Unitholders Resident in Canada" relating to the Canadian tax consequences in respect of a disposition of a trust unit.

The Manager anticipates that the Trust generally will treat gains as a result of dispositions of physical gold bullion and silver bullion as capital gains (see above under "Material Tax Considerations - Material

Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - Canadian Taxation of the Trust") and that it anticipates that when the Trust distributes physical gold bullion and silver bullion on the redemption of trust units by Non-Canadian unitholders, any resulting taxable capital gains of the Trust (to the extent that there are resulting net realized capital gains of the Trust for the related taxation year) for which the Trust is not entitled to a capital gains refund, as described under "Material Tax Considerations - Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - Canadian Taxation of the Trust" generally will be designated as taxable capital gains of such unitholders, subject to the rules relating to the allocation of capital gains to redeeming unitholders discussed above. If such treatment is accepted by the CRA, there will be no Canadian withholding tax applicable to such distributions, and Non-Canadian unitholders will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on amounts so designated. However, if the CRA were to consider that such gains instead were gains from an adventure in the nature of trade, the distribution of such gains generally would be subject to Canadian withholding tax, as discussed above. Similarly, if the Trust disposed of physical gold bullion and silver bullion (or other assets) at a gain and designated one-half of that gain as a taxable capital gain of a Non-Canadian unitholder who had redeemed trust units for cash, the full amount of such gain generally would be subject to Canadian withholding tax if the CRA were to treat such gain as being from an adventure in the nature of trade rather than as a capital gain.

In addition to the foregoing, if the CRA were to assess or re-assess the Trust itself on the basis that gains were not on capital account, then the Trust could be required to pay Canadian income tax on such gains under Part I of the Tax Act, which could reduce the NAV for all unitholders, including Non-Canadian unitholders.

International Information Reporting

Generally, investors will be required to provide their dealer with information related to their tax residency or citizenship and, if applicable, a foreign tax identification number. If an investor does not provide the information or is identified as a U.S. citizen or a foreign (including U.S.) tax resident, additional details about the investor and their investment in the Trust will be reported to the CRA, unless the investment is held within a Registered Plan but excluding a FHSA (each as defined below). The CRA will provide that information to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (in the case of U.S. tax residents or citizens) or the relevant tax authority of any country that is a signatory of the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information or that has otherwise agreed to a bilateral information exchange with Canada.

Taxation of Registered Plans

Provided that either (i) the Trust qualifies as a "mutual fund trust" within the meaning of the Tax Act or (ii) the trust units are listed on a "designated stock exchange" ​(which currently includes the TSX and the NYSE Arca) for purposes of the Tax Act, the trust units, if issued on the date hereof, will be qualified investments under the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder for deferred profit sharing plans, tax-free savings accounts ("TFSAs"), first home savings accounts ("FHSAs") registered disability savings plans ("RDSPs"), registered education savings plans ("RESPs"), RRSPs and registered retirement income funds ("RRIFs") (collectively, "Registered Plans").

Notwithstanding that the trust units may be qualified investments for RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs, RDSPs, FHSA, and TFSAs, the subscriber of a RESP, the holder of a RDSP, FHSA or TFSA, as the case may be, or the annuitant under a RRSP or RRIF, as the case may be, will be subject to penalty taxes in respect of the trust units if such properties are a "prohibited investment" ​(as defined in the Tax Act) for the RESP, RDSP, TFSA, FHSA, RRSP or RRIF, as applicable. Trust units will not generally be a prohibited investment provided that the subscriber, holder or annuitant, as applicable, deals at arm's length with the Trust for purposes of the Tax Act and does not have a "significant interest" ​(within the meaning of the Tax Act) in the Trust. Generally, a subscriber, holder or annuitant, as the case may be, will not have a "significant interest" in the Trust unless the subscriber, holder, or annuitant, as the case may be, owns interests as a beneficiary under the Trust that have a fair market value of 10% or more of the fair market value of the interests of all beneficiaries under the Trust, either alone or together with persons and partnerships with which the subscriber, holder or annuitant, as the case may be, does not deal at arm's length. In addition, the trust units will not be a "prohibited investment" if such units are "excluded property" as defined in the Tax Act for a trust governed by a RESP, RDSP, FHSA, TFSA, RRSP or RRIF.

Amounts of income and capital gains included in a Registered Plan's income are generally not taxable under Part I of the Tax Act, provided that the trust units are qualified investments for the Registered Plan. Unitholders should consult their own advisors regarding the tax implications of establishing, amending, terminating or withdrawing amounts from a Registered Plan.

Physical gold and/or silver bullion received by a Registered Plan that is a resident of Canada, such as a RRSP, on a redemption of trust units for physical gold and/or silver bullion will not be a qualified investment for such plan. Accordingly, such plans (and in the case of certain plans, the annuitants or beneficiaries thereunder or holders thereof) may be subject to adverse Canadian tax consequences.

Exchange of Tax Information

The Trust has due diligence and reporting obligations under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (as implemented in Canada by the Canada-United States Enhanced Tax Information Exchange Agreement and Part XVIII of the Tax Act, collectively "FATCA") and the OECD's Common Reporting Standard (as implemented in Canada by Part XIX of the Tax Act, referred to as "CRS"). As long as units are registered in the name of CDS, the Trust should not have any reportable accounts under FATCA and CRS. However, generally, unitholders (or in the case of certain unitholders that are entities, the "controlling persons" thereof) will be required by law to provide their dealer with information related to their citizenship and tax residence, including their foreign taxpayer identification number. If a unitholder (or, if applicable, any of its controlling persons), (i) is identified as a Specified U.S. Person (including a U.S. resident or a U.S. citizen); (ii) is identified as a tax resident of a country other than Canada or the U.S.; or (iii) does not provide the required information and indicia of U.S. or non-Canadian status is present, information about the unitholder (or, if applicable, its controlling persons) and their investment in the Trust will generally be reported to the CRA unless the units are held within a Registered Plan other than a first home savings account ("FHSA"). The CRA will provide that information to, in the case of FATCA, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and in the case of CRS, the relevant tax authority of any country that is a signatory of the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information or that has otherwise agreed to a bilateral information exchange with Canada under CRS.

The CRA and the Department of Finance have engaged with the IRS in relation to the possibility of exempting the FHSA from the FATCA due diligence and reporting obligations imposed under Part XVIII of the Tax Act. It is too early to confirm that bilateral agreement has been reached on this matter. The Department of Finance has also issued a comfort letter indicating that they are prepared to recommend that Part XIX of the Tax Act be amended to exempt the FHSA from the CRS due diligence and reporting obligations imposed under those rules.

U.S. ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

The following disclosure is a summary of certain aspects of laws and regulations applicable to retirement plan investments as such laws and regulations are in existence on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change. This summary is general in nature and does not address every issue that may be applicable to the trust units or a particular investor.

The U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, ("ERISA"), imposes certain requirements on employee benefit plans subject to Title I of ERISA and on entities that are deemed to hold the assets of such plans (collectively, "ERISA Plans"), and on those persons who are fiduciaries with respect to ERISA Plans. Investments by ERISA Plans are subject to ERISA's general fiduciary requirements, including, but not limited to, the requirement of investment prudence and diversification, prohibitions on conflicts of interest and the requirement that an ERISA Plan's investments be made in accordance with the documents governing the ERISA Plan. Each purchaser of trust units that is an ERISA Plan should understand that none of the Trust, the Trustee, the Manager, the GP, the Custodians, or their respective affiliates (the "Transaction Parties") has undertaken or will undertake to provide impartial investment advice, or has given or will give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with an ERISA Plan's investment pursuant hereto.

Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan as well as those plans and accounts that are not subject to ERISA but which are subject to Section 4975 of the Code, such as individual retirement accounts, and entities that are deemed to hold the

assets of such plans and accounts (together with ERISA Plans, the "Plans") and certain persons ("parties in interest" or "disqualified persons") having certain relationships to such Plans, unless a statutory or administrative exemption, of which there are many, is applicable to the transaction. A party in interest or disqualified person who engages in a prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the Plan that engages in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions of any exemption will be satisfied in connection with a Plan's acquisition and holding of trust units, or that the scope of relief provided by any exemption will cover all acts that might be prohibited transactions.

Any Plan fiduciary that proposes to cause a Plan to purchase the trust units (including any interest in a trust unit) should consult with his, her or its counsel regarding the applicability of the fiduciary responsibility and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code to such an investment, and to confirm that such purchase will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction or any other violation of an applicable requirement of ERISA or the Code.

Non-U.S. plans, governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) and certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA), while not subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, may nevertheless be subject to other federal, state, local or non-U.S. laws or regulations that are substantially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA and the Code ("Similar Law"). Fiduciaries of any such plans should consult with their counsel before purchasing the trust units to determine the need for, if necessary, and the availability of, any exemptive relief under any Similar Law.

Under ERISA and the U.S. Department of Labor's "Plan Asset Regulations" at 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, when a Plan acquires an equity interest in an entity that is neither a "publicly-offered security" nor a security issued by an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Plan's assets include both the equity interest and an undivided interest in each of the underlying assets of the entity, unless it is established that either less than 25 percent of the total value of each class of equity interests in the entity is held by "benefit plan investors" ​(as defined in Section 3(42) of ERISA), which we refer to as the "25 percent test", or the entity is an "operating company", as defined in the Plan Asset Regulations. In order to be considered a "publicly-offered security", the trust units must be (i) freely transferable, (ii) part of a class of securities that is owned by 100 or more investors independent of the Trust and of one another, and (iii) either (1) part of a class of securities registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act or (2) sold to the Plan as part of an offering of securities to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and the class of securities of which the securities are a part is registered under the Exchange Act within 120 days (or such later time as may be allowed by the SEC) after the end of the Trust's fiscal year during which the offering of such securities to the public occurred. It is anticipated that the Trust will not qualify as an "operating company", and the Trust does not intend to monitor investment by benefit plan investors in the Trust for purposes of satisfying the 25 percent test. The Trust anticipates, however, that it will qualify for the exemption under the Plan Asset Regulations for "publicly-offered securities", although there can be no assurance in that regard.

By acquiring the trust units, each purchaser and subsequent transferee thereof will be deemed to (and may be required to) represent and warrant that either (i) no portion of the assets used by such purchaser or transferee to acquire the trust units constitutes assets of any ERISA Plan or other plan subject to Similar Law, or (ii) the acquisition, holding and disposition of the trust units by such purchaser or transferee will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws.

The foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all inclusive. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions and other violations of ERISA, the Code or applicable Similar Law, it is particularly important that a fiduciary consult with its counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code and any Similar Law to the acquisition and holding of the trust units (including any interest in a trust unit) and whether an exemption would be necessary and if so, applicable, with respect to the investment.

Purchasers of trust units (including an interest therein) have the exclusive responsibility for ensuring that their purchase and holding complies with the fiduciary responsibility rules of ERISA and does not violate the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or applicable Similar Laws. This prospectus and or the sale of trust units (including an interest therein) to a Plan or a plan subject to Similar Law are in no respect a representation or recommendation by the Transaction Parties that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by Plans generally or any particular Plan or that such an investment is advisable or appropriate for plans generally or for any particular Plan or plan subject to Similar Law. Neither this discussion nor anything provided in this prospectus is, or is intended to be, investment advice directed at any potential Plan purchasers, or at Plan purchasers generally, and such purchasers of any trust units (including any interest therein) should consult and rely on their own legal advisors as to whether such an investment is suitable for the Plan.
