Trust Units  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>Sprott Physical Gold Trust (the&nbsp;"Trust") is hereby qualifying for distribution the offering (the&nbsp;"offering") of transferable, redeemable units of
the Trust (the&nbsp;"trust units" or "units of the Trust", and each a "trust unit") having an aggregate offering price of up to U.S.$229,378,423. 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. We have previously entered into a Controlled Equity Offering<SUP>SM</SUP> sales
agreement dated May&nbsp;6, 2016 (the&nbsp;"sales agreement") with Cantor Fitzgerald&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. ("CF&amp;Co") relating to trust units offered by this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus. In accordance with the sales agreement, and except as noted below, we may distribute trust units having an aggregate offering price of up to U.S.$229,378,423 through CF&amp;Co, as
our agent for the distribution of the trust units. See "Plan of Distribution" beginning on page&nbsp;S-8 of this prospectus supplement for more information regarding these arrangements. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>CF&amp;Co
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 "Use of Proceeds", the net proceeds of the offering will be used by the Trust to acquire physical gold bullion in accordance with the Trust's objective and subject to the Trust's
investment and operating restrictions described herein. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>We
estimate the total expenses of the offering, excluding CF&amp;Co's fee, will be approximately U.S.$150,000, 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 between the net asset value
(the&nbsp;"NAV") per trust unit and the market price at which each such unit is sold under the&nbsp;offering. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>No
underwriter or dealer involved in the offering, no affiliate of such an underwriter or dealer, and no person acting jointly or in concert with such an underwriter or dealer has over-allotted, or
will over-allot, trust units with the offering or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the trust&nbsp;units. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>The
Trust has applied to list the trust units offered by this prospectus supplement on the NYSE Arca and the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). The TSX has conditionally approved the Trust's application
to list the trust units issued hereunder, subject the Trust fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSX within one business day of the date hereof. Listing of the trust units issued hereunder on the
NYSE Arca will be subject to the Trust fulfilling all of the listing requirements of such&nbsp;Exchange. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>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&nbsp;44-102&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Shelf Distributions</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> ("NI&nbsp;44-102") and "at-the-market
offerings" pursuant to Rule&nbsp;415(a)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the&nbsp;"Securities Act") consisting of sales made directly on the NYSE Arca or other existing trading
markets in the United&nbsp;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. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>The
units of the Trust are listed and posted for trading on the NYSE Arca and the TSX under the symbols PHYS and PHY.U, respectively. On May&nbsp;19, 2016, the last trading day prior to the date
hereof, the closing price of the units of the Trust on the NYSE Arca and the TSX was U.S.$10.47 and U.S.$10.50, respectively.
On May&nbsp;19, 2016, the total NAV of the Trust and the NAV per unit of the Trust were U.S.$2,210,804,732.70 and U.S.$10.35, respectively. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>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 </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> (Canada) and are not insured under provisions of that Act or any
other legislation. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>Purchasing
the trust units may subject you to tax consequences both in the United&nbsp;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. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under United&nbsp;States federal securities laws or securities laws of other relevant jurisdictions may be affected adversely

offices and substantially all of the administrative activities and a majority of their assets are located outside the United&nbsp;States. In addition, the directors and officers of the Trustee and
the&nbsp;GP are residents of jurisdictions other than the United&nbsp;States and all or a substantial portion of the assets of those persons are or may be located outside the
United&nbsp;States.</B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of the trust units
being offered and the method of distribution of those securities and also supplements and updates information regarding the Trust contained in the accompanying prospectus. The second part, the
accompanying prospectus, gives more general information about the trust units that may be offered from time to time. Both documents contain important information you should consider when making your
investment decision. This prospectus supplement may add, update or change information contained in the accompanying prospectus. Before investing, you should carefully read both this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus together with the additional information about the Trust to which we refer you in the sections of this prospectus supplement entitled "Documents Incorporated
by&nbsp;Reference". </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You
should rely only on information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference in this prospectus supplement and
the accompanying prospectus. If information in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the accompanying prospectus or the information incorporated by reference, you should rely on this
prospectus supplement. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different. If anyone provides you with any different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on
it. We are offering the trust units only in jurisdictions where such offers are permitted by law. The information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is accurate
only as of their respective dates, regardless of the
time of delivery of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and you should not assume otherwise. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are part of a "shelf" registration statement on Form&nbsp;F-10 that we
have filed with the SEC. Each time we sell our securities under the accompanying prospectus we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that
offering including price, the number and type of securities being offered, and the plan of distribution. The shelf registration statement became effective under the rules and regulations of the SEC on
May&nbsp;20, 2016. This prospectus supplement describes the specific details regarding the offering including the price, number of trust units being offered, and the placement arrangements. The
accompanying prospectus provides general information about the Trust, some of which, such as the section entitled "Plan of Distribution", may not apply to the offering. This prospectus supplement does
not contain all of the information contained in the registration statement, certain parts of which are omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. You should refer to the
registration statement and the exhibits to the registration statement for further information with respect to us and our&nbsp;securities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Some
of the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus concerning economic and industry trends is based upon or
derived from information provided by industry sources. We believe that such information is accurate and that the sources from which it has been obtained are reliable. However, we cannot guarantee the
accuracy of such information and we have not independently verified the assumptions upon which projections of future trends are&nbsp;based. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Trust is subject to the information requirements of the U.S.&nbsp;Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the&nbsp;"Exchange Act"), and applicable Canadian securities
legislation, and in accordance therewith, the Trust files reports and other information with the SEC and with the securities regulatory authorities of each of the provinces and territories of Canada.
Under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United&nbsp;States and Canada, the Trust may generally prepare these reports and other information in accordance with the disclosure
requirements of Canada. These requirements are different from those of the United&nbsp;States. As a foreign private issuer, the Trust is exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the
furnishing and content of proxy statements, and officers, directors and principal unitholders of the Trust are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in
Section&nbsp;16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, the Trust is not required to publish financial statements as promptly as United&nbsp;States companies. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
reports and other information filed by the Trust with the SEC may be read and copied at the SEC's public reference room at 100&nbsp;F Street, N.E., Washington,&nbsp;D.C. 20549.
Copies of the same documents can also be obtained from the public reference room of the SEC in Washington by paying a fee. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330&nbsp;for further information on the
public reference room. The SEC also maintains a website (www.sec.gov) that makes available reports and other information that the Trust files electronically with it, including the registration
statement that the Trust has filed with respect&nbsp;hereto. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trust was created to invest and hold substantially all of its assets in physical gold bullion. The Trust seeks to provide a secure,
convenient and exchange-traded investment alternative for investors interested in holding physical gold bullion without the inconvenience that is typical of a direct investment in physical gold
bullion. The Trust invests primarily in long-term holdings of unencumbered, fully allocated, physical gold bullion and does not and will not speculate with regard to short-term changes in gold prices.
The Trust will not invest in gold certificates or other financial instruments that represent gold or that may be exchanged for gold. The Trust has only purchased and expects only to own "London Good
Delivery" bars as defined by the London Bullion Market Association (the&nbsp;"LBMA"), with each bar purchased being verified against the LBMA source. The Trust does not anticipate making regular
cash distributions to&nbsp;unitholders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Investment Strategies of the Trust  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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&nbsp;Trust. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Trust may not borrow funds except under limited circumstances as set out in NI&nbsp;81-102 and, in any event, not in excess of 10% of the total net assets of the&nbsp;Trust. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Borrowing Arrangements  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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&nbsp;leverage. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trustee acts as custodian of the Trust's assets other than physical gold bullion pursuant to the Trust Agreement. The Trustee has
authority to delegate the performance of custody functions to sub-custodians who are members of its international custody network or, with the consent of the Manager, to other&nbsp;persons. </FONT></P>

"Risk Factors" beginning on page&nbsp;11 of the accompanying prospectus, other than the risk factor relating to a "loss restriction event" on page&nbsp;21, are incorporated by
reference in this prospectus supplement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Because the Trust primarily invests in physical gold bullion, an investment in the Trust may be more volatile than an investment in a more broadly diversified portfolio.  </B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trust is primarily invested at all times in physical gold bullion. As a result, the Trust's holdings are not diversified.
Accordingly, the NAV of the Trust may be more volatile than another investment vehicle with a more broadly diversified portfolio and may fluctuate substantially over time. An investment in the Trust
may be deemed speculative and is not intended as a complete investment program. An investment in trust units should be considered only by persons financially able to maintain their investment and who
can bear the risk of loss associated with an investment in the Trust. Investors should familiarize themselves with the risks associated with an investment in the&nbsp;Trust. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> A large purchase of physical gold bullion by the Trust in connection with the offering may temporarily affect the price of&nbsp;gold.  </B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Depending on the size of the offering, the amount of gold that the Trust will purchase in connection with the 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. In the event that the purchase of physical gold bullion by
the Trust in connection with the offering temporarily increases the spot price of physical gold bullion, the Trust will be able to purchase a smaller amount of physical gold bullion with the proceeds
of the offering than otherwise, and if the spot price of physical gold bullion decreases after the purchase of physical gold bullion by the Trust, such decrease would decrease the NAV of
the&nbsp;Trust. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> A delay in the purchase by the Trust of physical gold bullion with the net proceeds of the offering may result in the Trust purchasing less physical gold bullion than it
could have purchased earlier.  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trust intends to purchase physical gold bullion with the net proceeds of the offering as described in this prospectus supplement as
soon as practicable. Depending on the Trust it may not be able to purchase immediately all of the required physical gold 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. If physical gold bullion prices increase between the time of the drawdown and the
time the Trust completes its purchases of physical gold bullion, whether or not caused by the Trust's acquisition of physical gold bullion, the amount of physical gold 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 immediately. In either of these circumstances, the
quantity of physical gold bullion purchased per unit of the Trust will be reduced, which will have a negative effect on the value of the&nbsp;units. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 CF&amp;Co in an "at-the-market distribution" will represent the gross proceeds after deducting the applicable compensation payable to CF&amp;Co 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 in accordance with the Trust's objective and subject to the Trust's
investment and operating restrictions described herein. See "Sprott Physical Gold Trust&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Business of the Trust&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Investment

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 units, which is the class of units that are qualified by this prospectus supplement. Each 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 units. Units are transferable and redeemable at the option of the unitholder in accordance with the
provisions set forth in the Trust Agreement. All 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. Units and fractions thereof are issued only as fully paid and non-assessable. 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&nbsp;class. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Trust may not issue units except (i)&nbsp;if the net proceeds per unit to be received by the Trust are not less than 100% of the most recently calculated NAV per unit immediately
prior to, or upon, the determination of the pricing of such issuance or (ii)&nbsp;by way of unit distribution in connection with an income distribution. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Registration
or transfers of the trust units will be made through CDS Clearing and Depository Services&nbsp;Inc., and/or the Depository Trust Company, each of which holds the trust
units on behalf of its participants (i.e.,&nbsp;brokers), which in turn may hold the trust units on behalf of their customers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;References
in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus to a holder of trust units or unitholder means, unless the context otherwise requires, the owner of the
beneficial interest in such trust&nbsp;units. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Trust and the Manager do not have any liability for: (i)&nbsp;records maintained by a depository relating to the beneficial interests in the trust units or the accounts maintained
by such depositary; (ii)&nbsp;maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests; or (iii)&nbsp;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. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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&nbsp;nominees. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To
compensate CF&amp;Co for their services in acting as agent in the sale of trust units, we will pay a cash commission of up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of sales made pursuant

auditors, but excluding compensation payable to CF&amp;Co under the terms of the sales agreement) will be approximately U.S.$150,000, which costs may be borne by the Manager. The Trust has also agreed to
reimburse CF&amp;Co for certain specified expenses, including the fees and disbursements of its legal counsel in an amount not to exceed $25,000. 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

deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to CF&amp;Co against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities&nbsp;Act. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

(including any amendments hereto) (the&nbsp;"prospectus") remains effective, up to U.S.$1,500,000,000 of transferable, redeemable trust units (the&nbsp;"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. 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&nbsp;LP (the&nbsp;"Manager"). See "Sprott Physical Gold Trust&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Management of the
Trust&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;The Manager" for further information about the Manager. The Trust was created to invest and hold substantially all of its assets in physical gold bullion.
See "Sprott Physical Gold Trust&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Business of the Trust&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Investment Objectives of the Trust" for further information about
the Trust's investment objectives. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>The
specific terms of the trust units offered, including the number of trust units offered, 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&nbsp;invest. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>The
trust units are listed and posted for trading on NYSE Arca under the symbol "PHYS" and on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the&nbsp;"TSX") under the symbol "PHY.U". On May&nbsp;19, 2016, the last
trading day prior
to the date hereof, the closing price of the trust units on NYSE Arca and the TSX were U.S.$10.47 and U.S.$10.50, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>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&nbsp;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 any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material term of the plan of distribution. In
connection with such offering, 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". </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trust employs two custodians. The Royal Canadian Mint (the&nbsp;"Mint"), acts as custodian for the Trust's physical gold bullion
pursuant to a gold storage agreement, as amended, between the Manager, for and on behalf of the Trust, and the Mint (the&nbsp;"Gold 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 that is in the Mint's custody, subject to certain limitations based on events beyond the Mint's&nbsp;control. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RBC
Investor Services acts as custodian on behalf of the Trust for the Trust's assets other than physical gold bullion. RBC Investor Services is only responsible for the Trust's assets

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trust's office is located at Suite&nbsp;2700, South Tower, Royal Bank Plaza, 200&nbsp;Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trust was created to invest and hold substantially all of its assets in physical gold bullion. The Trust seeks to provide a secure,
convenient and exchange-traded investment alternative for investors interested in holding physical gold bullion without the inconvenience that is typical of a direct investment in physical gold
bullion. The Trust invests primarily in long-term holdings of unencumbered, fully allocated, physical gold bullion and will not speculate with regard to short-term changes in gold prices. The Trust
has only purchased and expects only to own "London Good Delivery" bars as defined by the London Bullion Market Association (the&nbsp;"LBMA"), with each bar purchased being verified against the LBMA
source.T he 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&nbsp;the extent that any such assets are held, in compliance at all times with the Investment and Operating Restrictions (as&nbsp;defined&nbsp;below). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Borrowing Arrangements  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trust has no borrowing arrangements in place and is unleveraged. The Trust has historically not used leverage and the Manager has

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
value of the net assets of the Trust and the value of net assets of the Trust per outstanding trust unit are determined daily as of 4:00&nbsp;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 NYSE Arca or the TSX is
open for trading. In addition, the Manager may calculate the value of the net assets of the Trust and the NAV per trust unit at such other times as the Manager deems appropriate. The value of the net
assets of the Trust 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 May&nbsp;19, 2016 was $209,991,189. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement, trust units may be redeemed at the option of a unitholder for physical gold bullion in any
month. Trust units redeemed for physical gold bullion will be entitled to a redemption price equal to 100% of the NAV of the redeemed trust units on the last day of the month on which NYSE Arca is
open for trading for the month in which the redemption request is processed. Redemption requests for gold must be for amounts that are at least equivalent in value to one London Good Delivery bar or
an integral multiple thereof, plus applicable expenses. A "London Good Delivery bar" contains between 350 and 430&nbsp;troy ounces of gold. The ability of a unitholder to redeem trust units for
physical gold bullion may be limited by the sizes of London Good Delivery bars held by the Trust at the time of redemption. Any fractional amount of redemption proceeds in excess of a London Good
Delivery bar or an integral multiple thereof will be paid in cash at a rate equal to 100% of the NAV of such excess amount. A unitholder redeeming trust units for physical gold bullion will be
responsible for expenses incurred by the Trust in connection with such redemption and applicable delivery expenses, including the handling of the notice of redemption, the delivery of the physical
gold bullion for trust units that are being redeemed and the applicable fees charged by the Mint, including but not limited to gold storage in-and-out fees, transfer fees, pallet repackaging fees and

Trust does not actively trade gold to take advantage of short-term market fluctuations in the price of gold or generate other income. Accordingly, the Trust's long-term performance

Good Delivery bars have the advantage that a purchaser generally will accept such bars as consisting of the indicated number of troy ounces of at least .995&nbsp;fine gold
without assaying or otherwise testing them. This provides London Good Delivery bars with added liquidity as a sale of such bars can be completed more easily than the sale of physical gold bullion that
is not London Good Delivery. The Trust will only purchase London Good Delivery bars, and the physical gold bullion owned by the Trust will retain its status as London Good Delivery bars while it is
stored at the Mint. If a unitholder redeems trust units for physical gold bullion and has the gold delivered to an institution authorized to accept and hold London Good Delivery gold bars through an
armored transportation service carrier that is eligible to transport London Good Delivery gold bars, it is likely that the gold will retain its London Good Delivery status while in the custody of that
institution. However, if the redeeming unitholder instructs that gold be delivered to a destination other than such an institution, the physical gold bullion delivered to the unitholder will no longer
be deemed London Good Delivery once it has been delivered pursuant to the redeeming unitholder's delivery instructions, which may make a future sale of such gold more&nbsp;difficult. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Trust may conduct further offerings of trust units from time to time. Under the provisions of the Trust Agreement, the net proceeds to the Trust of any offering must be at or above
NAV prior to, or upon determining the pricing of, the offering. Follow-on offerings of securities of issuers that are traded on an exchange usually are priced below the trading price of such
securities at the time of an offering to induce investors to purchase securities in the follow-on offering rather than through the exchange on which such securities are traded. Consequently, the price
to the public at which such trust units are offered likely will be below the trading price of trust units on NYSE Arca or TSX at the time of the offering, which may have the effect of lowering the
trading price of trust units immediately after the pricing of such follow-on offering. In addition, if and as long as the trading price of the trust units is below NAV, it is unlikely that the Trust
will be able to conduct a further offering of trust units, because the Trust Agreement governing the Trust provides such trust units would have to be offered at a price above the trading price of
trust units. The Manager may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, pay some or all of the expenses associated with an offering of trust&nbsp;units. </FONT></P>

SIZE=2><B>The trading price of trust units on NYSE Arca and the TSX is not predictable and may be affected by factors beyond the control of
the&nbsp;Trust.</B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Trust cannot predict whether the trust units will trade above, at or below NAV. The trading price of trust units may not closely track the price of physical gold bullion, and trust
units may trade, and in the past have traded, on NYSE Arca or the TSX at a significant premium or discount from time to time. In addition to changes in the price of gold bullion, the trading price of
trust units may be affected by other factors beyond the control of the Trust, which may include the following: macroeconomic developments in North America and globally; market perceptions of
attractiveness of physical gold bullion as an investment; the lessening in trading volume and general market interest in the trust units which may affect a unitholder's ability to trade significant
numbers of trust units; and the size of the Trust's public float which may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in the trust units. An adverse development with regard to one or more of the
foregoing factors may lead to a decrease in physical gold bullion currency trading prices. A decline in prices of physical gold bullion would decrease the value of net assets of the Trust and
the&nbsp;NAV. </FONT></P>

SIZE=2><B>Any sale of gold by the Trust to pay expenses and to cover certain cash redemptions will reduce the amount of gold represented by each trust unit on an ongoing
basis irrespective of whether the trading price of the trust units rises or falls in response to changes in the price of&nbsp;gold.</B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each
outstanding trust unit represents an equal, fractional, undivided ownership interest in the net assets of the Trust attributable to the trust units. As the Trust does not expect to
generate any net income and will sell physical gold bullion over time on an as-needed basis to pay for its ongoing expenses and to cover certain redemptions, the amount of gold represented by each
trust unit will and the NAV may, gradually decline over time. This is true even if additional trust units are issued in future offerings of trust units by the Trust from time to time, as the amount of
gold acquired by the proceeds of any such future offering of trust units will proportionately reflect the amount of gold represented by such trust units. Assuming a constant gold price, the trading
price of the trust units is expected to gradually decline relative to the price of gold as the amount of gold represented by the trust units gradually declines. The trust units will only maintain
their original value if the price of gold increases enough to offset the Trust's expenses. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Investors
should be aware that, assuming no purchases of physical gold bullion are made by the Trust as a result of further offerings of trust units by the Trust, the gradual decline in
the amount of physical gold
bullion held by the Trust will occur regardless of whether the trading price of the trust units rises or falls in response to changes in the price of&nbsp;gold. </FONT></P>

insurance available or the financial resources of a responsible third party may not be sufficient to satisfy the Trust's claim against such party. Also, unitholders are unlikely to have any right to
assert a claim directly against such third party; such claims may only be asserted by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust. In addition, if a loss is covered by insurance carried by a third party, the
Trust, which is not a beneficiary on such insurance, may have to rely on the efforts of the third party to recover its loss. This may delay or hinder the Trust's ability to recover its loss in a

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
possibility of large-scale distress sales of gold in times of crisis may have a negative impact on the price of gold and adversely affect an investment in the trust units. For
example, the 2008 financial credit crisis resulted in significantly depressed prices of gold due to forced sales and deleveraging from institutional investors such as hedge funds and pension funds.

official sector consists of central banks, other governmental agencies and multi-lateral institutions that buy, sell and hold gold as part of their reserve assets. The official
sector holds a significant amount of gold, some of which is static, meaning that it is held in vaults and is not bought, sold, leased or swapped or otherwise available in the open market. Several
central banks and multi-lateral institutions have sold portions of their gold reserves in recent years, with the result being that the official sector, taken as a whole, has been a net supplier of
gold to the open market. In the event that future economic, political or social conditions or pressures require members of the official sector to liquidate their gold assets all at once or in an
uncoordinated manner, the demand for gold may not be sufficient to accommodate the sudden increase in the supply of gold to the market. Consequently, the price of gold may decline which may adversely

income tax rates on ordinary income plus interest upon excess distributions and upon any gain from the disposition of the trust units as if the excess distribution or gain had been recognized ratably
over the U.S.&nbsp;Holder's holding period for the trust units. A U.S.&nbsp;Holder generally may mitigate these U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax consequences by making a QEF election, or, to a

(regardless of whether the holder requesting redemption is a U.S.&nbsp;Holder or has made a QEF election), the Trust will be treated as if it sold the physical gold bullion for its fair market
value. As a result, all the U.S.&nbsp;Holders who have made a QEF election will be required to currently include in their income their </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>pro&nbsp;rata</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>

physical gold bullion for more than one year), even though such deemed disposition is not attributable to any action on their part. If any holder redeems trust units for cash and the Trust sells
physical gold bullion to fund the redemption (regardless of whether the holder requesting redemption is a U.S.&nbsp;Holder or has made a QEF election), all the U.S.&nbsp;Holders who have made a

the election provided in subsection&nbsp;39(4) of the Tax&nbsp;Act. </FONT></P>

SIZE=2><B>If the Trust were to carry on a business in Canada in a taxation year or acquire securities that were "non-portfolio properties," it could become subject to tax
at full corporate tax rates on some or all of its income for that&nbsp;year.</B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Manager anticipates that the Trust will make sufficient distributions in each year of any income (including taxable capital gains) realized by the Trust for Canadian tax purposes in
the year so as to ensure that it will not be subject to Canadian income tax on such income. Such income generally will become subject to Canadian income tax at full corporate rates if the Trust
becomes a SIFT trust, even if distributed in full. If the Trust, contrary to its investment restrictions, were to carry on a business in Canada in a taxation year and use its property in the course of
any such business, or acquire securities that were "non-portfolio properties", it could become a SIFT trust. The activities of the Trust, as described in this prospectus, are intended to avoid having
the Trust characterized as a SIFT trust, The Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") may take a different (and&nbsp;adverse) view of this issue and characterize the Trust as a SIFT trust. 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. See "Material Tax Considerations&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;SIFT
Trust&nbsp;Rules". </FONT></P>

SIZE=2><B>If the Trust treats distributed gains as being on capital account and CRA later determines that the gains were on income account, then Canadian withholding taxes
would apply to the extent that the Trust has distributed the gains to non-resident unitholders and Canadian resident unitholders could be reassessed to increase their taxable income. Any taxes borne
by the Trust itself would reduce the NAV and the trading prices of the trust&nbsp;units.</B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Manager anticipates that the Trust generally will treat gains (or&nbsp;losses) as a result of dispositions of physical gold bullion as capital gains (or&nbsp;capital losses),
although depending on the circumstances, it may instead include (or&nbsp;deduct) the full amount of such gains in computing its income. See "Material Tax
Considerations&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Canadian Taxation of the Trust". 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&nbsp;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, 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 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&nbsp;Act at the time of the distribution. As the Trust
may not be able to recover such withholding taxes from the non-resident unitholders whose trust units were redeemed, payment of any such amounts by the Trust would reduce the NAV and the trading
prices of the trust units. See "Material Tax Considerations&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Canadian Taxation of Unitholders&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Unitholders Not Resident
in&nbsp;Canada". </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Tax&nbsp;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)&nbsp;be deemed to have a year end for Canadian tax
purposes whether or not the Trust has losses (which would trigger an allocation </FONT></P>

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&nbsp;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. Recent amendments to the Tax&nbsp;Act may provide
relief from the application of the "loss restriction event" rules to a trust that qualifies as a "mutual fund trust" for purposes of the Tax&nbsp;Act and that meets certain asset diversification
requirements to qualify as a "portfolio investment fund" as defined in subsection&nbsp;251.2(1) of the Tax&nbsp;Act. These amendments may preclude the Trust from being subject to the
consequences of a "loss restriction event" described above in many circumstances. In addition, the Department of Finance released Legislative Proposals Relating to Income Taxation of Certain Trusts
and Estates on January&nbsp;15, 2016 (the&nbsp;"Proposed Amendments"). The Proposed Amendments would change the asset diversification requirements but are generally relieving in nature and are
designed to prevent a person or group of persons from becoming a majority-interest beneficiary or a majority-interest group of beneficiaries of a trust simply as a result of the redemption of trust
units by another unitholder of the trust. Please see "Material Tax Considerations&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Canadian Taxation of Unitholders" for the tax consequences of a distribution

offering price 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

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 then 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&nbsp;time. </FONT></P>

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

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the opinion of Seward&nbsp;&amp; Kissel&nbsp;LLP, the Trust's U.S.&nbsp;counsel, the following are the material
U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax consequences to U.S.&nbsp;Holders 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.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;state or local tax, U.S.&nbsp;federal estate or gift tax or foreign tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of trust units. This discussion deals only with holders who purchase
trust units in connection with an offering and hold the trust units as a capital asset. You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisors concerning the overall tax consequences arising in your own
particular situation under U.S.&nbsp;federal, state, local or foreign law of the ownership of trust&nbsp;units. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following discussion of U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax matters is based on the U.S.&nbsp;Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the&nbsp;"Code"), judicial decisions,
administrative pronouncements, and existing and proposed regulations issued by the U.S.&nbsp;Department of the Treasury (the&nbsp;"Treasury Regulations"), all of which are subject to change,
possibly with retroactive effect. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> U.S.&nbsp;Federal Income Tax Classification of the Trust  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.&nbsp;federal income tax&nbsp;purposes. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> U.S.&nbsp;Federal Income Taxation of U.S.&nbsp;Holders  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As used herein, the term "U.S.&nbsp;Holder" means a beneficial owner of trust units that is a U.S.&nbsp;citizen or resident for
U.S.&nbsp;income tax purposes, a U.S.&nbsp;corporation or other U.S.&nbsp;entity taxable as a corporation, an estate the income of which is subject to U.S.&nbsp;federal income taxation
regardless of its
source, or a trust if a court within the United&nbsp;States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S.&nbsp;persons have the authority to
control all substantial decisions of the&nbsp;trust. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
a partnership (including an entity treated as a partnership for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes) holds the trust units, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As discussed under the section entitled "Distribution Policy" in the AIF, the Trust does not anticipate making regular cash
distributions to unitholders. Subject to the PFIC discussion below, any distributions made by the Trust with respect to the trust units to a U.S.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;federal income tax principles.
Distributions in excess of the Trust's earnings and profits will be treated first as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;Holder
who is an individual, trust or estate, or a U.S.&nbsp;Individual Holder, will generally not be treated as "qualified dividend income" that is taxable to U.S.&nbsp;Individual Holders at
preferential tax rates. Any dividends generally will be treated as foreign-source income for U.S.&nbsp;foreign tax credit limitation purposes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> <U>Redemption of Trust Units</U>  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As described under "Sprott Physical Gold Trust&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Business of
Trust&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Redemption of Trust Units for Physical Gold Bullion" and "Sprott Physical Gold Trust&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Business of the
Trust&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Redemption of Trust Units for Cash", a U.S.&nbsp;Holder may have trust units redeemed for cash or physical gold bullion. Under Section&nbsp;302 of the
Code, a U.S.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;Holder makes a QEF election, a mark-to-market election or makes no election and therefore is
subject to the Default PFIC Regime (as&nbsp;defined&nbsp;below). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> <U>Passive Foreign Investment Company Status and Significant Tax Consequences</U>  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Special U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax rules apply to a U.S.&nbsp;Holder that holds stock in a foreign corporation classified as a
PFIC for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes. In general, the Trust will be treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S.&nbsp;Holder if, for any taxable year in which such U.S.&nbsp;Holder held
the trust units,&nbsp;either:</FONT></P>

production of, passive&nbsp;income. </FONT></DD></DL>
</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 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
the Trust expects to derive substantially all of its income from the sales of physical gold bullion, it is expected the Trust will be treated as a PFIC for each of its taxable&nbsp;years. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Assuming
the Trust is a PFIC, a U.S.&nbsp;Holder will be subject to different taxation rules depending on whether the U.S.&nbsp;Holder (1)&nbsp;makes an election to treat the Trust
as a QEF, which is referred to as a QEF election, (2)&nbsp;makes a mark-to-market election with respect to the trust units, or (3)&nbsp;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.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;Holder generally will recognize income each year attributable to any
appreciation in the U.S.&nbsp;Holder's trust units without a corresponding distribution of cash or other&nbsp;property. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Assuming
that the Trust is a PFIC, for taxable years beginning on or after March&nbsp;18, 2010, a U.S.&nbsp;Holder is required to file an annual report with the IRS reporting his,
her or its investment in the&nbsp;Trust. </FONT></P>

filing IRS Form&nbsp;8621 with his, her or its U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax return. The Trust intends to annually provide each U.S.&nbsp;Holder with all necessary information in order to make
and maintain a QEF election. A U.S.&nbsp;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. We will refer to an Electing Holder that is a U.S.&nbsp;Individual Holder as a Non-Corporate Electing Holder. A U.S.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;Holder makes a special
"purging" election. A U.S.&nbsp;Holder who does not make a timely QEF election is encouraged to consult such U.S.&nbsp;Holder's tax advisor regarding the availability of such purging election. </FONT></P>

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 by the Trust if the Trust has held the gold bullion for more than one year. Otherwise, such gain generally will be treated as ordinary income. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
any holder redeems his, her or its trust units for physical gold bullion (regardless of whether the holder requesting redemption is a U.S.&nbsp;Holder or an Electing Holder), the
Trust will be treated as if it sold physical gold bullion for its fair market value in order to redeem the holder's trust units. As a result, any Electing Holder will be required to currently include
in income his, her or its </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>pro&nbsp;rata</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> 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 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 holder redeems trust units for cash and the Trust sells physical gold bullion to fund the redemption (regardless of whether the holder requesting redemption is a
U.S.&nbsp;Holder or an Electing Holder), an Electing Holder similarly will include in income his, her or its </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>pro&nbsp;rata</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> share of the Trust's gain
from the sale of the physical gold bullion, which will be taxable as described above even though the Trust's sale of physical gold 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&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Material U.S.&nbsp;Federal Income Tax
Considerations&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;Federal Income Taxation of U.S.&nbsp;Holders&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Distributions." </FONT></P>

U.S.&nbsp;Holder would be allowed to make a mark-to-market election with respect to the trust units, provided the U.S.&nbsp;Holder completes and files IRS Form&nbsp;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 </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>de

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 NYSE Arca should be treated as a qualified exchange or other market for this&nbsp;purpose. </FONT></P>

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. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
Treasure Regulations generally effective for taxable years after December&nbsp;31, 2013, income inclusions under the QEF rules would not be considered "net investment income"
unless: (1)&nbsp;the Electing Holder holds the trust units in connection with a trade or business of trading in financial instruments or commodities; or (2)&nbsp;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.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;federal income tax&nbsp;purposes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
you are a U.S.&nbsp;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&nbsp;units. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Distributions, if any, by the Trust may be subject to Canadian withholding taxes as discussed under "Material Tax
Considerations&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Canadian Taxation of Unitholders&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Unitholders Not Resident in Canada". A U.S.&nbsp;Holder may elect to
either treat such taxes as a credit against U.S.&nbsp;federal income taxes, subject to certain limitations, or deduct his, her or its share of such taxes in computing such U.S.&nbsp;Holder's
U.S.&nbsp;federal taxable income. No deduction for foreign taxes may be claimed by an individual who does not itemize deductions. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> <U>Backup Withholding and Information Reporting</U>  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Payments made within the United&nbsp;States, or by a U.S.&nbsp;payor or U.S.&nbsp;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 28%, if a U.S.&nbsp;Holder fails to
furnish its correct U.S.&nbsp;taxpayer identification number (generally on IRS Form&nbsp;W-9), and to&nbsp;make certain certifications, or otherwise fails to establish an exemption. Backup
withholding tax is not an additional tax. Rather, a U.S.&nbsp;Holder generally may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld under backup withholding rules that exceed his, her, or its income tax
liability by filing a refund claim with the&nbsp;IRS. </FONT></P>

may be subject to certain IRS filing requirements as a result of holding trust units. For example, a U.S.&nbsp;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&nbsp;926 with the IRS with respect to such transfer. Accordingly, a
U.S.&nbsp;Holder may be required to file Form&nbsp;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.&nbsp;Holder, the U.S.&nbsp;Holder may also be required to file an information return on IRS Form&nbsp;5471. U.S.&nbsp;Holders also may be required to file Form&nbsp;TD F&nbsp;90-22.1

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant
to recently enacted legislation, U.S.&nbsp;Holders who are individuals (and&nbsp;to the extent specified in applicable Treasury Regulations, certain U.S.&nbsp;entities)
who hold "specified foreign financial assets" (as&nbsp;defined in Section&nbsp;6038D of the Code) are required to file IRS Form&nbsp;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&nbsp;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.&nbsp;financial institution. Substantial penalties apply to any failure to timely file IRS Form&nbsp;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.&nbsp;Holder who is an individual (and&nbsp;to the extent specified in applicable Treasury regulations, a U.S.&nbsp;entity) that is required to
file IRS Form&nbsp;8938 does not file such form, the statute of limitations on the assessment and collection of U.S.&nbsp;federal income taxes of such holder for the related tax year may not close

to any such interest pursuant to an Intergovernmental Agreement between the United&nbsp;States and Canada (the&nbsp;"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.&nbsp;source income and proceeds from
the sale of property that could give rise to U.S.&nbsp;source interest or dividends. The withholding tax provisions of FATCA became effective on July&nbsp;1, 2014 with respect to income and are

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the opinion of Baker&nbsp;&amp; McKenzie&nbsp;LLP, Canadian counsel to the Trust, the following is, as of the date hereof, a general
description of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable under the Tax&nbsp;Act to the acquisition, holding and disposition of trust units acquired pursuant to
this prospectus. 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&nbsp;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&nbsp;39(4) of the Tax&nbsp;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&nbsp;Trust. </FONT></P>

"mutual fund trust" within the meaning of the Tax&nbsp;Act and that the Trust has validly elected under the Tax&nbsp;Act to be a mutual fund trust from the date it was established. The Manager
has advised Canadian counsel that it expects that the Trust will meet the requirements necessary for it to qualify as a mutual fund trust at all times under this prospectus.</B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;One
of the conditions to qualify as a mutual fund trust for the purposes of the Tax&nbsp;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&nbsp;Act. Physical gold
bullion is not "taxable Canadian property". Accordingly, based on the investment objectives and investment restrictions, the Trust should not hold any such&nbsp;property. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, to qualify as a mutual fund trust: (i)&nbsp;the Trust must be a Canadian resident "unit trust" for purposes of the Tax&nbsp;Act; (ii)&nbsp;the only undertaking of the
Trust must be (a)&nbsp;the investing of its funds in property (other than real property or interests in real property), or (b)&nbsp;the acquiring, holding, maintaining, improving, leasing or
managing of any real property (or&nbsp;interest in real property) that is capital property of the Trust, or (c)&nbsp;any combination of the activities described in (a)&nbsp;and (b); and
(iii)&nbsp;the Trust must comply with certain minimum requirements regarding the ownership and dispersal of trust units (the&nbsp;"minimum distribution requirements"). In this regard, the Manager
has advised counsel that it 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&nbsp;times. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Canadian Taxation of the Trust  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each taxation year of the Trust will end on December&nbsp;31. In each taxation year, the Trust will be subject to tax under
Part&nbsp;I of the Tax&nbsp;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&nbsp;I of the Tax&nbsp;Act. The Trust will be entitled for each taxation year to reduce (or&nbsp;receive a refund in respect of) its liability,
if any, for tax on its capital gains by an amount determined under the Tax&nbsp;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&nbsp;I of the Tax&nbsp;Act. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
CRA has expressed the opinion that gains (or&nbsp;losses) of mutual fund trusts resulting from transactions in commodities should generally be treated for purposes of the
Tax&nbsp;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&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;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 with no intention of disposing of such bullion except </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>in&nbsp;specie</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> 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 that previously had been acquired with such
intention would likely give rise to a capital gain (or&nbsp;capital loss) to the Trust. The Manager has informed Canadian
counsel that, as it intends for the Trust to be a long-term holder of physical gold bullion and does not anticipate that the Trust will sell its physical gold bullion (otherwise than where necessary
to fund expenses of the Trust), the Manager anticipates that the Trust generally will treat gains (or&nbsp;losses) as a result of dispositions of physical gold bullion as capital gains
(or&nbsp;capital losses), although depending on the circumstances, the Trust may instead include (or&nbsp;deduct) the full amount of such gains or losses in computing its income. If the CRA were
to assess or reassess the Trust on the basis that gains realized on dispositions of physical gold bullion were not on capital account, then the Trust could be required to pay Canadian income tax on
such gains under Part&nbsp;I of the Tax&nbsp;Act to the extent such gains were not distributed to unitholders, which could reduce the NAV for all unitholders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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&nbsp;loss. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the current provisions of the Tax&nbsp;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&nbsp;days. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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&nbsp;Act. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> SIFT Trust Rules  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trust will be a "SIFT trust" as defined in the Tax&nbsp;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&nbsp;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 </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Physical
gold bullion and other property of the Trust will be non-portfolio property if such property is used by the Trust (or&nbsp;by a person or partnership with which it does not

"security" is broadly defined in the Tax&nbsp;Act) of other entities could also be non-portfolio property. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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. In the view of
Canadian counsel, the mere holding by the Trust of physical gold bullion as capital property (or&nbsp;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&nbsp;trust. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Unitholders Resident in Canada  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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&nbsp;Act and any applicable tax treaty, is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada at all relevant times (a&nbsp;"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. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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&nbsp;Act. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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&nbsp;zero. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon
the actual or deemed disposition of a trust unit, including its redemption, a capital gain (or&nbsp;a capital loss) will generally be realized to the extent that the proceeds of
disposition of the trust unit exceed (or&nbsp;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&nbsp;units. </FONT></P>

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&nbsp;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

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If,
at any time, the Trust delivers physical gold 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 the amount of any cash received, less any capital gain or income realized by the Trust on the

Agreement, the Trust has the authority 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 to a unitholder who has redeemed trust units for such physical gold bullion, and any taxable capital gain or income realized by it before, at or after the redemption on selling
physical gold 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 has advised Canadian counsel
that it anticipates that the Trust will generally 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&nbsp;described under "Material Tax Considerations&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Canadian Federal
Income Tax Considerations&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Canadian Taxation of the Trust"). Any such allocations will reduce the redeeming Canadian unitholder's proceeds of disposition for the

(to&nbsp;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

Non-Canadian unitholder who is resident of the United&nbsp;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&nbsp;States may be exempt from Canadian withholding tax under the Treaty, provided that certain administrative procedures are observed regarding
the registration of such unitholder. </FONT></P>

amount paid or credited by the Trust to a Non-Canadian unitholder that the Trust has validly designated in accordance with the Tax&nbsp;Act as a taxable capital gain, including

Trust does not presently own any "taxable Canadian property" (as&nbsp;defined in the Tax&nbsp;Act) 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&nbsp;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&nbsp;gain. </FONT></P>

unit does not constitute "taxable Canadian property" of the Non-Canadian unitholder for purposes of the Tax&nbsp;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)&nbsp;25% or more of the issued trust units were owned by or belonged to one

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

"Material Tax Considerations&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Canadian Taxation of the Trust" generally will
be designated as taxable capital gains of such unitholders. 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&nbsp;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 (or&nbsp;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&nbsp;gain. </FONT></P>

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&nbsp;I of the Tax&nbsp;Act, which could reduce the NAV for all unitholders, including Non-Canadian unitholders. </FONT></P>

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

ERISA and the U.S.&nbsp;Department of Labor's "Plan Asset Regulations" at 29&nbsp;C.F.R. &sect;2510.3-101, as modified by Section&nbsp;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&nbsp;percent of the
total value of each class of equity interests in the entity is held by "benefit plan investors" (as&nbsp;defined in Section&nbsp;3(42) of ERISA), which we refer to as the "25&nbsp;percent test",
