Important Disclosures

An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks,
charges and expenses carefully before investing. To obtain a prospectus,
which contain this and other information please contact your financial
professional or call 1.855.215.1425. Read the prospectus carefully
before investing.

Sprott Gold Miners ETF and Sprott Junior Gold Miners ETF shares
are not individually redeemable. Investors buy and sell shares of the
funds on a secondary market. Only market makers or “authorized
participants” may trade directly with the Fund, typically in blocks of
50,000 shares.

The Funds are not suitable for all investors. There are risks involved
with investing in ETFs including the loss of money. The Funds are
considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in
securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result,
changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater
fluctuations in share price than would occur in a diversified fund.

The Funds are concentrated in the gold and silver mining industry. As a
result, the Funds are sensitive to changes in, and its performance will
depend to a greater extent on, the overall condition of the gold and
silver mining industry. Also, gold and silver mining companies are
highly dependent on the price of gold and silver bullion. These prices
may fluctuate substantially over short periods of time so the Fund’s
Share price may be more volatile than other types of investments.

Funds that emphasize investments in small/mid cap companies will
generally experience greater price volatility. Funds investing in
foreign and emerging markets will also generally experience greater
price volatility.

There are risks involved with investing in ETFs including the loss of
money.

Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment
losses.

ETFs are considered to have continuous liquidity because they allow for
an individual to trade throughout the day.

ALPS Portfolio Solutions Distributor, Inc. is the Distributor for The
Sprott Gold Miners ETF and The Sprott Junior Gold Miners ETF.
