<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=4>Management Report of Fund Performance* </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Investment Objective and Strategies </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>Sprott
Physical Silver Trust (the&nbsp;"Trust") is a closed-end mutual fund trust organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, created to invest and hold substantially
all of its assets in physical silver bullion. The Trust seeks to provide a secure, convenient and exchange-traded investment alternative for investors interested in holding physical silver bullion
without the inconvenience that is typical of a direct investment in physical silver bullion. The Trust intends to achieve its objective by investing primarily in long-term holdings of
unencumbered, fully allocated, physical silver bullion and does not speculate with regard to short-term changes in silver&nbsp;prices. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
units of the Trust are listed on the New&nbsp;York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") Arca and the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbols "PSLV" and "PHS.U", respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Risks </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
risks of investing in the Trust are detailed in the prospectus dated October&nbsp;28, 2010 related to the initial public offering of units of the Trust. There have been no material changes to
the Trust since inception that affected the overall level of risk. The principal risks associated with investing in the Trust are the price of silver, the net asset value and/or the market price of
the units, the purchase, transport, insurance and storage of physical silver bullion, liabilities of the Trust, and redemption of&nbsp;units. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Results of Operations </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>During
the period from January&nbsp;1, 2011 to September&nbsp;30, 2011, the trust redeemed 2,100&nbsp;units for cash at a cost of $32,172. There were no unit issuances during this&nbsp;period. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
value of the net assets of the Trust as of September&nbsp;30, 2011 was $668.7&nbsp;million or $11.63 per unit, compared to $695.2&nbsp;million or $12.09 per unit per unit as at
December&nbsp;31, 2010, the Trust's most recent fiscal year end. The Trust held 22,298,540&nbsp;ounces of physical silver bullion as of September&nbsp;30, 2011. As at September&nbsp;30, 2011,
the spot price of silver was $29.90 an ounce compared to a price of $30.92 an ounce as at December&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2010. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>For
the period from July&nbsp;1, 2011 to September&nbsp;30, 2011, total unrealized losses on physical silver bullion amounted to $106.7&nbsp;million. For the period from January&nbsp;1, 2011
to September&nbsp;30, 2011, total unrealized losses on physical silver bullion amounted to $22.6&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
Trust's net asset value per unit on September&nbsp;30, 2011 was $11.64. The units closed at $13.90 on the NYSE Arca and $13.88 on the TSX on September&nbsp;30, 2011 compared to closing prices
of $14.07 on the NYSE Arca and $14.07 on the TSX on December&nbsp;31, 2010. The units are denominated in U.S.&nbsp;dollars on both exchanges. During the period from July&nbsp;1, 2011 to
September&nbsp;30, 2011, the
Trust's units traded on the NYSE Arca at an average premium to net asset value of approximately 19.6% compared to 17.3% for the nine-month period ended September&nbsp;30,&nbsp;2011. </FONT></P>

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=1><I>September&nbsp;30, 2011  </I></FONT></P>

<HR NOSHADE>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=4>1.&nbsp;Organization of the Trust </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>Sprott
Physical Silver Trust (the&nbsp;"Trust") is a closed-end mutual fund trust created under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, pursuant to a trust agreement dated as of
June&nbsp;30, 2010, as amended and restated as of October&nbsp;1, 2010 (the&nbsp;"Trust Agreement"). The Trust's initial public offering was priced on October&nbsp;28, 2010 and closed on
November&nbsp;2, 2010. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of redeemable, transferable trust units (the&nbsp;"Units"). All issued Units have no par value, are fully paid for, and
are listed and traded on the New&nbsp;York Stock Exchange Arca (the&nbsp;"NYSE Arca") and the Toronto Stock Exchange (the&nbsp;"TSX") under the symbols "PSLV" and "PHS.U", respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
investment objective of the Trust is to seek to provide a secure, convenient and exchange-traded investment alternative for investors interested in holding physical silver bullion without the
inconvenience that is typical of a direct investment in physical silver bullion. The Trust invests and intends to continue to invest primarily in long-term holdings of unencumbered, fully
allocated, physical silver bullion and does not speculate with regard to short-term changes in silver prices. The Trust has only purchased and expects only to own "good delivery bars" as
defined by the London Bullion Market Association ("LBMA"), with each bar purchased being verified against the LBMA&nbsp;source. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
Trust's registered office is located at Suite&nbsp;2700, South Tower, Royal Bank Plaza, 200&nbsp;Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J&nbsp;2J1. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>Sprott
Asset Management&nbsp;LP (the&nbsp;"Manager") acts as the manager of the Trust pursuant to the Trust Agreement and management agreement with the Trust. RBC Dexia Investor Services Trust, a
trust company organized under the laws of Canada, acts as the trustee of the Trust. RBC Dexia Investor Services Trust also acts as custodian on behalf of the Trust for the Trust's assets other than
physical silver bullion. The Royal Canadian Mint acts as custodian on behalf of the Trust for the physical silver bullion owned by the&nbsp;Trust. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
financial statements of the Trust as at and for the three and nine-months ended September&nbsp;30, 2011 were authorized for issue by the Manager on November&nbsp;11,&nbsp;2011. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=4>2.&nbsp;Basis of Preparation </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board ("IASB" or the&nbsp;"Board"). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for physical silver bullion and financial assets and financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss,
that have been measured at fair&nbsp;value. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
financial statements are presented in U.S.&nbsp;dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar unless otherwise indicated. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>Comparative
figures have not been presented for the statements of comprehensive income and cash flows because the Trust had no operations prior to the initial public offering of October&nbsp;28,
2010 other than the issuance of one Unit for proceeds of $10 on June&nbsp;30, 2010, the date of the inception of the&nbsp;Trust. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>2.1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>(i) Cash and cash equivalents </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with the Trust's custodian, which is not subject to restrictions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>(ii) Silver bullion </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>Investments in silver bullion are measured at fair value determined by reference to published price quotations, with unrealized and realized gains and losses
recorded in income based on the International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 40 </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Investment Property</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> fair value model as </FONT></P>

is the most relevant standard to apply. Investment transactions in physical silver bullion are accounted for on the business day following the date the order to buy or sell
is&nbsp;executed. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>(iii) Due to broker </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>Amounts due to broker are payables for physical silver bullion purchased that have been contracted for but not yet delivered as of the reporting date. Refer to
accounting policy for Other financial liabilities for recognition and measurement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>(iv) Other financial liabilities </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>This category includes all financial liabilities, other than those classified at fair value through profit and loss. The Trust includes in this category
management fees payable, due to brokers and other accounts payable. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Classification of redeemable units </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>Redeemable
units are classified as equity instruments when: </FONT></P>

<UL>
<DL compact>
<DT style='font-family:;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The

redeemable units do not include any contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset other than the holder's rights to a </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>pro&nbsp;rata</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> share of the Trust's net assets;&nbsp;and
</FONT></DD><DT style='font-family:;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
total expected cash flows attributable to the redeemable units over the life of the instrument are based substantially on the profit or loss, the change in the
recognized net assets or the change in the fair value of the recognized and unrecognized net assets of the Trust over the life of the&nbsp;instrument. </FONT></DD></DL>
</UL>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
addition to the redeemable units having all the above features, the Trust must have no other financial instrument or contract that&nbsp;has: </FONT></P>

<UL>
<DL compact>
<DT style='font-family:;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>Total

effect of substantially restricting or fixing the residual return to the redeemable unitholders. </FONT></DD></DL>
</UL>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
Trust continuously assesses the classification of the redeemable units. If the redeemable units cease to have all the features or meet all the conditions set out to be classified as equity, the
Trust will reclassify them as financial liabilities and measure them at fair value at the date of reclassification, with any differences from the previous carrying amount recognised in&nbsp;equity. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>(vi) Fees and commission expenses </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>Fees and commission expenses are recognized on an accrual basis. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>(vii) Income taxes </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>In each taxation year, the Trust will be subject to income tax on taxable income earned during the year, including net realized taxable capital gains. However,
the Trust intends to distribute its taxable income to unitholders at the end of every fiscal year and therefore the Trust itself would not have any income tax&nbsp;liability. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>(viii) Functional and presentation currency </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust's functional and presentation currency is the US Dollar. The Trust's performance is evaluated and its liquidity is managed in US Dollars. Therefore,
the US Dollar is considered as the currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and&nbsp;conditions. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=4>3.&nbsp;Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
preparation of the Trust's financial statements requires the Manager to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognized in the financial statements. However,
uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that may require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future&nbsp;periods. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Judgements </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>In the process of applying the Trust's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts
recognized in the financial statements: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Going Concern </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust's management has made an assessment of the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the Trust has the resources to
continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Trust's ability to continue as a going
concern. Therefore, the financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern&nbsp;basis. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Estimates and Assumptions </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The key accounting assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the recording date, that have a significant risk of
causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below. The Trust based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available
when the financial statements were prepared. However, existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of
the Trust. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they&nbsp;occur. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>For
tax purposes, the Trust generally treats gains from the disposition of silver bullion as capital gains, rather than income, as the Trust intends to be a long-term passive holder of
silver bullion, and generally disposes of its holdings in silver bullion only for the purposes of meeting redemptions. The Canada Revenue Agency has, however, expressed its opinion that gains
(or&nbsp;losses) of mutual fund trusts resulting from transactions in commodities should generally be treated for tax purposes as ordinary income rather than as capital gains, although the treatment
in each particular case remains a question of fact to be determined having regard to all the circumstances. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>on
or after January&nbsp;1, 2013. The adoption of IFRS&nbsp;9 is not expected to have a material effect on the classification and measurement of the Trust's financial assets. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
May&nbsp;2011, the IASB issued the following standard which has not yet been adopted by the Trust: IFRS&nbsp;13 </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Fair Value Measurement.</I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
aforementioned new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January&nbsp;1, 2013 with early adoption permitted. The Trust has started the process of assessing the impact
that the new and amended standard will have on its financial statements or whether to early adopt any of the new requirements. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=4>5.&nbsp;Segment Information </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>For
management purposes, the Trust is organized into one main operating segment, which invests in physical silver bullion. All of the Trust's activities are interrelated, and each activity is
dependent on the others. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon an analysis of the Trust as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the
financial statements of the Trust as a whole. The Trust's operating income is earned entirely in Canada and is primarily generated from its investment in physical silver&nbsp;bullion. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=4>6.&nbsp;Cash and Cash Equivalents </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>As
at September&nbsp;30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents consisted entirely of cash on&nbsp;deposit. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=4>7.&nbsp;Fair Value of Financial Instruments </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>As
at September&nbsp;30, 2011, due to the short-term nature of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at cost, it is assumed that the carrying amount of those instruments
approximates their fair&nbsp;value. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=4>8.&nbsp;Unitholders' Capital </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of redeemable, transferrable Trust Units in one or more classes and series of Units. The Trust's capital is represented by the issued, redeemable,
transferable Trust units. Quantitative information about the Trust's capital is provided in the statement of changes in equity. Under the Trust Agreement, Units may be redeemed at the option of the
unitholder on a monthly basis for physical silver bullion or cash. Units redeemed for physical silver bullion will be entitled to a redemption price equal to 100% of the NAV of the redeemed Units on
the last business day of the month in which the redemption request is processed. A unitholder redeeming Units for physical silver bullion will be responsible for expenses in connection with effecting
the redemption and applicable delivery expenses, including the handling of the notice of redemption, the delivery of the physical silver bullion for Units that are being redeemed and the applicable
silver storage in-and-out fees. Units redeemed for cash will be entitled to a redemption price equal to 95% of the lesser of (i)&nbsp;the volume-weighted average trading
price of the Units traded on the NYSE Arca, or, if trading has been suspended on the NYSE Arca, on the TSX for the last five business days of the month in which the redemption request is processed and
(ii)&nbsp;the NAV of the redeemed Units as of 4:00&nbsp;p.m., Eastern time, on the last business day of the month in which the redemption request is&nbsp;processed. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>When
Units are redeemed and cancelled and the cost of such Units is either above or below their stated or assigned value, the cost is allocated to unitholders' capital in an amount equal to the stated
or assigned value of the Units and any difference is allocated to the Unit premiums and reserves account. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Net Asset Value </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>Net Asset Value ("NAV") is defined as the Trust's net assets (fair value of total assets less fair value of total liabilities, excluding all liabilities
represented by outstanding Units, if any) calculated using the value of physical silver bullion based on the end-of-day price provided by a widely recognized pricing service. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Capital management </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>As a result of the ability to issue, repurchase and resell Units of the Trust, the capital of the Trust as represented by the Unitholders' capital in the
statement of financial position can vary depending on the demand for redemptions and subscriptions to the Trust. The Trust is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and has no legal
restrictions on the issue, repurchase or resale of redeemable Units beyond those included in the Trust Agreement. The Trust may not issue additional 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 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:;"><FONT SIZE=2>Basic

the&nbsp;period. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
Trust's diluted EPU is the same as basic EPU, since the Trust has not issued any instruments with dilutive potential. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=4>10.&nbsp;Financial Risk and Management Objectives and Policies </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Introduction </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
Trust's objective in managing risk is the creation and protection of unitholder value. Risk is inherent in the Trust's activities, but it is managed through a process of ongoing identification,
measurement and monitoring, subject to risk limits and other controls. The process of risk management is critical to the Trust's continuing profitability. The Trust is exposed to market risk (which
includes price risk, interest rate risk and currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk arising from the silver bullion that it&nbsp;holds. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN="CENTER" style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>15 </B></FONT></P>

<A NAME="page_fg41301_1_16"> </A>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Risk management structure </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust's Investment Manager is responsible for identifying and controlling risks. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Risk mitigation </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust has investment guidelines that set out its overall business strategies, its tolerance for risk and its general risk management philosophy. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
discussion below clarifies the Trust's management of various risks. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Excessive risk concentration </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust's risk is concentrated in the value of physical silver bullion, whose value constitutes 99.7% of total net assets as at September&nbsp;30, 2011
(99.2% as at December&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2010). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Price risk </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>Price risk arises from the possibility that changes in the market price of the Trust's investments, which consist almost entirely of silver bullion, will result
in changes in fair value of such investments. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>If
the market value of silver increased by 1%, with all other variables held constant, this would have increased comprehensive income by approximately $6.7&nbsp;million; conversely, if the value of
silver bullion decreased by 1%, this would have decreased comprehensive income by the same&nbsp;amount. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Interest rate risk </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the value of financial instruments. The Trust does not hedge its
exposure to interest rate risk as that risk is&nbsp;minimal. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Currency risk </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>Currency risk arises from the possibility that changes in the price of foreign currencies will result in changes in carrying value. The Trust's assets,
substantially all of which consist of an investment in silver bullion, are priced in U.S.&nbsp;dollars. Some of the Trust's expenses are payable in Canadian dollars. Therefore, the Trust is exposed
to currency risk, as the value of its liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars will fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates. Most of such liabilities, however, are short term in nature and are
not significant in relation to the net assets of the Trust, and, as such, exposure to foreign exchange risk is limited. The Trust does not enter into currency hedging transactions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>As
at September&nbsp;30, 2011, approximately $223,081 (December&nbsp;31, 2010: $371,479) of the Trust's liabilities were denominated in Canadian dollars. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Credit risk </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>Credit risk arises from the potential that counterparties will fail to satisfy their obligations as they come due. The Trust primarily incurs credit risk when
entering into and settling silver bullion transactions. It is the Trust's policy to only transact with reputable counterparties. The Manager closely monitors the creditworthiness of the Trust's
counterparties, such as bullion dealers, by reviewing their financial statements, when available, regulatory notices and press releases. The Trust seeks to minimize credit risk relating to unsettled
transactions in silver bullion by only engaging in transactions with bullion dealers with high creditworthiness. The risk of default is considered minimal, as payment for silver bullion, is only made
against the receipt of the bullion by the&nbsp;custodian. </FONT></P>

<A NAME="page_fg41301_1_17"> </A>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Liquidity risk </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Trust will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities and redemptions.
Liquidity risk arises because of the possibility that the Trust could be required to pay its liabilities earlier than expected. The Trust is also subject to redemptions for both cash and silver
bullion on a regular basis. The Trust manages its obligation to redeem units when required to do so and its overall liquidity risk by only allowing for redemptions monthly, which require
15-day advance notice to the Trust. The Trust's liquidity risk is minimal, since its primary investment is physical silver bullion, which trades in a highly liquid market. All of the
Trust's financial liabilities, including due to brokers, accounts payable and management fees payables have maturities of less than three&nbsp;months. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=4>11.&nbsp;Related Party Disclosures </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The following parties are considered related parties to the Trust: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Investment Manager&nbsp;&#150;&nbsp;Sprott Asset Management&nbsp;LP </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust pays the Manager a monthly management fee equal to <SUP>1</SUP>/<SMALL>12</SMALL> of 0.45% of the value of net assets of the Trust (determined in accordance with
the Trust Agreement) plus any applicable Canadian taxes, calculated and accrued daily and payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each month. Total management fees for the period from
July&nbsp;1, 2011 to September&nbsp;30, 2011 amounted to $989,263 and for the period from January&nbsp;1, 2011 to September&nbsp;30, 2011 management fees amounted to&nbsp;$2,751,876. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=3>Ownership and Other </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>As at September&nbsp;30, 2011, the Trust's related parties included, Eric Sprott, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of the Manager and the Sprott Foundation, a
charitable organization established by Mr.&nbsp;Sprott's family. The Sprott Foundation owned 6.54% of the units of the&nbsp;Trust. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>All
related party transactions were made at arm's length on normal commercial terms and conditions. There have been no other transactions between the Trust and its related parties during the reporting
period. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=4>12.&nbsp;Independent Review Committee ("IRC") </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>In
accordance with National Instrument&nbsp;81-107, Independent Review Committee for Investment Funds ("NI&nbsp;81-107"), the Manager has established an IRC for a number of
funds managed by it, including the Trust. The mandate of the IRC is to consider and provide recommendations to the Manager on conflicts of interest to which the Manager is subject when managing
certain funds, including the Trust. The IRC is composed of three individuals, each of whom is independent of the Manager and all funds managed by the Manager, including the Trust. Each fund subject to
IRC oversight pays a share of the IRC member fees, costs and other fees in connection with operation of the IRC. The IRC reports annually to unitholders of the funds subject to its oversight on its
activities, as required by NI&nbsp;81-107. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=4>13.&nbsp;Soft Dollar Commissions </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:;"><FONT SIZE=2>There
were no soft dollar commissions for the three and nine-month periods ended September&nbsp;30,&nbsp;2011. </FONT></P>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Trust was created to invest and hold substantially all of its assets in physical silver bullion. Many investors are unwilling to invest directly in physical silver bullion due to inconveniences such as transaction, handling, storage, insurance and other costs that are typical of a direct investment in physical silver bullion. The Trust seeks to provide a secure, convenient and exchange-traded investment alternative for investors interested in holding physical silver bullion without the inconvenience that is typical of a direct investment in physical silver bullion. The Trust invests primarily in long-term holdings of unencumbered, fully allocated, physical silver bullion and will not speculate with regard to short-term changes in silver prices. The Trust does not invest in silver certificates or other financial instruments that represent silver or that may be exchanged for silver.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The mining and producer sector includes mining companies that specialize in silver production, mining companies that produce silver as a by-product of other production (such as lead, zinc, copper or gold), and scrap merchants and recyclers.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The banking sector is composed of bullion banks that provide a variety of services to the silver market and its participants, thereby facilitating interactions between other parties. Services provided by bullion banks include providing traditional banking products as well as mine financing, physical silver purchases and sales, hedging and risk management, inventory management for both industrial users and consumers and silver leasing.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The investment sector includes the investment and trading activities of both professional and private investors and speculators. These participants range from large hedge funds and mutual funds to day traders, as well as retail level coin collectors.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The fabrication and manufacturing sector represents all the commercial and industrial users of silver for which silver is a daily part of their businesses. Industrial applications comprise the largest use of silver. The jewellery and silverware sector is the second largest, followed by the photographic industry (although the latter has been declining over the past several years as a result of the widespread adoption of digital photography).</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Finally, the official sector includes the activities of the various central banking operations of silver holding countries. Unlike gold, there are no official statistics published by the International Monetary Fund, Bank of International Settlements, or national banks on silver holdings by national governments. The main reason for this is that, unlike gold, silver is generally not recognized as a core reserve asset. According to the World Silver Survey 2011, Gold Fields Mineral Services Ltd. (&#147;<b>GFMS</b>&#148;) estimates that, based on proprietary information collected through its research, at the end of 2010 governments held silver bullion stocks totalling 109.6 million ounces.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Sources of Silver Supply</font></b></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Sources of silver supply include both mine production and recycling or mobilizing of existing above-ground stocks. The largest portion of silver supplied into the market annually is from mine production. The second largest source of annual silver supply is from silver scrap, which is silver that has been recovered from jewellery, photography and other fabricated products and converted back into marketable silver. Net sales by the official sector represented a relatively small amount compared to the overall supply of silver in 2010. Finally, net producer hedging accelerates the sale of physical silver and can therefore impact, positively or negatively, supply in a given year.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">Mine production</font></i></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Mine production includes silver produced from both primary deposits and secondary deposits. Secondary deposits refer to mining operations where the silver is recovered as a by-product metal from other mining activities. Since 2000, the amount of new silver mined each year has been substantially lower than the level of physical demand for silver. For example, during the ten years from 2001 to 2010, new mine production met only 71% of the total demand. The shortfall in total supply has been met by supplies from existing above-ground stocks, predominantly coming from the recycling of fabricated silver products.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Silver is different from gold in that more than two-thirds of silver mine supply is a by-product of other metal mining (lead, zinc, copper or gold). Primary silver production is relatively consistent at approximately 30% of total global output. Thus, a significant portion of annual silver supply can be said to be relatively independent of the price of silver.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Silver scrap refers to silver that has been recovered from fabricated products, melted, refined and cast into bullion bars for subsequent resale into the silver market. Silver scrap supply had been steadily decreasing from 2006 to 2009, but increased 14% in 2010 to 215.0 million ounces. According to the 2011 World Silver Survey, the 2010 increase was largely due to tighter environmental monitoring<b>  </b>and elevated silver prices.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Historically, central banks, other governmental agencies and multi-lateral institutions have retained gold and, to a lesser extent, silver strategic reserve assets. However, compared to the gold market, the official sector plays a less significant role in the dynamics of the silver market. Supplies from net official sector sales represented only 4.2% of total silver supply in 2010. While the official sector has been a net seller of silver for several years, from 2006 to 2009 net annual official sector sales declined by over 80% to 15.5 million ounces of silver per year. This resulted in net movements of silver from the official to the private sector. 2010 saw an increase in net government sales driven almost entirely by a significant increase in dispositions from Russia.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Net producer hedging can create incremental supply in the market by accelerating the timing of the sale of un-mined silver. A mining company wishing to protect itself from the risk of a decline in the price of silver may elect to sell some or all of its anticipated production for delivery at a future date. A bullion dealer accepting such a transaction will finance it by borrowing an equivalent quantity of silver, which is immediately sold into the market. The bullion dealer then invests the cash proceeds from that sale of silver and uses the yield on these investments to pay the mining company the premium available on silver for future delivery. When the mining company delivers the silver it has contracted to sell to the bullion dealer, the dealer returns the silver to the lender or rolls the loan forward in order to finance similar transactions in the future. While over time hedging transactions involve no net increase in the supply of silver to the market, they do accelerate the timing of the sale of silver sold prior to production, which has an impact on the balance between supply and demand at any time in the paper marketplace. 2010 saw a shift to producer hedging, largely driven from by-product silver mines taking advantage of higher prices to hedge non-core revenues over multi-year periods.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Silver has significant demand rooted in diverse sectors with traditional, industrial and emerging applications. Silver was one of the earliest metals to be used as a medium of exchange and is one of the world&#146;s most broadly used metals with many practical applications. Silver has a number of unique properties that make it an essential component in several industrial applications. These unique properties restrict silver&#146;s substitution in most applications.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Demand for silver is driven primarily by three uses: (i)&nbsp;industrial; (ii)&nbsp;consumer; and (iii)&nbsp;investment.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Silver is used in industrial and manufacturing application due to its strength, malleability and ductility, electrical and thermal conductivity, sensitivity to and high reflectance of light and its ability to endure extreme temperature ranges. Industrial uses of silver can range from high tech applications, including medical equipment, to plumbing hardware. Silver is also used as a catalyst for the manufacture of commonly used chemicals such as ethylene oxide and formaldehyde. Many batteries are also manufactured with silver alloys, due to silver&#146;s superior power-weight characteristics. Recently, however, silver-oxide batteries are being replaced with lithium-ion batteries in cellular phones and lap-top computers, due to environmental and safety concerns. Silver is also used in the manufacturing of mirrors and lenses. Silver&#146;s light reflective ability allows it to be used as an energy efficient glaze and for ultraviolet filtering in eye glasses. Silver paints and coatings are used in circuit boards to utilize silver&#146;s conductive properties and in medical applications due to silver&#146;s anti-bacterial qualities.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Consumer uses of silver, such as the fabrication of jewellery and silverware, use silver&#146;s lustre, resistance to tarnishing and malleability. Silver is a visibly clean, attractive and strong metal ideal for contact with food and mouth. It is one of the most chemically inert of metals and does not react with acids present in fruit, fish and sauces,&nbsp;etc. Hence, it is a popular choice for making tableware (cutlery, flatware and hollowware) for daily use such as dinner knives, forks and spoons, serving dishes, drinking vessels and tea and coffee services.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Investment demand for silver has increased steadily from 2003, with the most significant investment demand coming from silver exchange traded funds (&#147;<b>ETFs</b>&#148;) and bullion funds. The emergence of these investment vehicles has made it easier to purchase bullion for investors, who traditionally had to rely on purchasing coins and silver bullion directly. According to CPM Group Silver Yearbook 2011, the 2010 total investible inventory of silver bars and coins was 1.603 billion ounces. Investors also purchase silver coins for investment purposes. As of August&nbsp;2, 2011, the year-to-date coin sales of the United States Mint were 28,201,000 American Eagle Silver one-ounce coins. The Manager believes that the appeal of silver as a store of value in times of uncertainty and inflation has served as a catalyst for investment demand and growth of these relatively new investment vehicles.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">GFMS uses a category called &#147;Implied Net Investment&#148; to capture the demand for physical silver from institutional and retail investors. GFMS&#146; definition of this category of supply/demand is &#147;the residual from combining all other GFMS data on silver supply/demand...As such, it captures the net physical impact of all transactions not covered by the other supply/demand variables&#148;. The Manager believes that this methodology employed by GFMS may underestimate the actual investment demand for physical silver bullion.

While this is a global, nearly 24-hour per day market, its main centres are London (the biggest venue), New York and Zurich.</font></p>

The LBMA plays an important role in setting OTC silver trading industry standards. Members of the London bullion market typically trade with each other and with their clients on a principal-to-principal basis. All risks, including those of credit, are between the two parties to a transaction. This is known as an OTC market, as opposed to an exchange-traded environment. Unlike a futures exchange, where trading is based around standard contract units, settlement dates and delivery specifications, the OTC market allows flexibility. It also provides confidentiality, since transactions are conducted solely between the two principals involved.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Although the market for physical silver is distributed globally, as noted above most OTC market trades are cleared through London. In addition to coordinating market activities, the LBMA acts as the principal point of contact between the market and its regulators. A primary function of the LBMA is its involvement in the promotion of refining standards by maintenance of the &#147;London Good Delivery Lists&#148;, which are the lists of LBMA accredited smelters and assayers of silver. The LBMA also coordinates market clearing and vaulting, promotes good trading practices and develops standard documentation.</font></p>

This is referred to as the London fix. Many long-term contracts will be priced on the basis of the London fix, and market participants will usually refer to this price when looking for a basis for valuations.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The most significant silver futures exchanges are the COMEX, operated by Commodities Exchange,&nbsp;Inc., a subsidiary of New York Mercantile Exchange,&nbsp;Inc., and the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (the &#147;<b>TOCOM</b>&#148;). Futures exchanges seek to provide a neutral, regulated marketplace for the trading of derivatives contracts for commodities. Futures contracts are defined by the exchange for each commodity. For each commodity traded, this contract specifies the precise quality and quantity standards. The contract&#146;s terms and conditions also define the location and timing of physical delivery. An exchange does not buy or sell those contracts, but seeks to offer a transparent forum where members, on their own behalf or on the behalf of customers, can trade the contracts in a safe, efficient and orderly manner. During regular trading hours at COMEX, the commodity contracts are traded through open outcry; a verbal auction in which all bids, offers and trades must be publicly announced to all members. Electronic trading is offered by the exchange after regular market hours. Except for brief breaks to switch between open outcry and electronic trading in the evening and the morning, silver futures trade 24 hours a day, five business days a week.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The global silver markets are overseen and regulated by both governmental and self-regulatory organizations. In addition, certain trade associations have established rules&nbsp;and protocols for market practices and participants. The major participants in the London bullion market are supervised by the Financial Services Authority (&#147;<b>FSA</b>&#148;). Under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (&#147;<b>FSMA</b>&#148;) and associated rules&nbsp;and regulations, all banks and investment firms in the United Kingdom are subject to a range of requirements relating to capital adequacy, liquidity and systems and controls. Conduct of business in the London bullion market may fall under one of two regimes, depending upon the type of business. The FSA is responsible for (among other things) the conduct of &#147;regulated activities&#148; as defined under the FSMA. For the bullion market, this covers trading in derivatives for investment purposes. The rules&nbsp;applicable to investment firms conducting regulated activities are set out in the FSA&#146;s Handbook of Rules&nbsp;and Guidance&#151;particularly, in the Principles for Business, Market Conduct, Conduct of Business Sourcebook, Senior Management Arrangements, Systems and Controls and Client Assets modules. For derivatives trading in circumstances that are not covered by FSMA, guidelines for the conduct of business are set out in the United Kingdom&#146;s Non-Investment Products Code (&#147;<b>NIPs Code</b>&#148;). Market practitioners representing the foreign exchange, money and bullion markets in conjunction with the Bank of England have drawn up the NIPs Code. The NIPs Code has no statutory underpinning (except where it refers to</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Participants in the US OTC market for silver are generally regulated by their existing market regulators. For example, participating banks are regulated by the banking authorities. In the United States, Congress created the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (&#147;<b>CFTC</b>&#148;) in 1974 as an independent agency with the mandate to regulate commodity futures and option markets in the United States. The CFTC regulates market participants and has established rules&nbsp;designed to prevent market manipulation, abusive trade practices and fraud. The CFTC requires that any trader holding an open position of more than 100 lots (i.e., 10,000 ounces) in any one contract month on COMEX must declare his or her identity, the nature of his or her business (hedging, speculative,&nbsp;etc.) and the existence and size of his or her positions.</font></p>

To act as a Futures Commission Merchant Broker, which is a required certification for a broker that intends to trade in commodities and commodity futures, a broker must obtain a license from Japan&#146;s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, or METI. METI establishes the rules&nbsp;for operation of TOCOM and administers the exchange and its members through requirements of law and various supervisory functions.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Since 2002, the price of silver has generally followed an upward trend due to a number of factors. Among such factors are the decline in the US dollar against other currencies, the poor performance of major equity markets, including in the United States, a surge in investment demand in commodities as an asset class generally, ongoing strength in fabrication demand and the low level of forward selling by mining companies. Since the end of 2008, silver prices have risen approximately 261% to $39.00 on August&nbsp;25, 2011. Silver prices have generally tracked gold prices throughout 2011 and have been supported by an improvement in investor sentiment, flows into ETFs, concerns about the US dollar and global reserve currencies, unprecedented government spending and increased indebtedness and a pickup in global economic conditions. The Manager believes that these factors may create significant inflationary pressures and result in increased investment demand for &#147;safe-haven&#148; assets such as gold and silver.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Silver&#146;s numerous industrial uses differentiate it from gold in that it is strongly correlated to global economic growth. Emerging markets growth in recent years has spurred investment for commodities including gold and silver. In recent years, demand in the industrial sector continued to be high, with increasing consumption in India, China and Russia.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Historically, silver has been viewed as an effective hedge against a decrease in the value of the US dollar and inflation. Silver, as with gold, has maintained its long-term value, as measured by purchasing power, more effectively than most currencies and fixed assets. As silver prices have generally increased during times of US dollar decline and during inflationary periods, silver may provide a hedge against money creation and purchasing power erosion.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The silver spot price is dictated by paper contracts that trade on the COMEX and other major international OTC and futures exchanges. Paper contracts can be purchased &#147;long&#148; or sold &#147;short&#148;. If more participants wish to sell &#147;short&#148; than purchase &#147;long&#148; at a given price, the paper market price for silver will generally decline. These contracts may have little or no relationship with actual physical silver bullion inventories. As reported on the Commitment of Traders Report by the COMEX, the total open position of silver contracts as of August&nbsp;23, 2011 was equivalent to 948 million ounces of silver. This position has been relatively consistent since the beginning of 2011 and represents approximately 129% of the 2010 annual mine supply of silver. In addition, the total physical silver bullion inventory held by the COMEX (as defined by COMEX&#146;s Registered and Unregistered Inventory in the COMEX Inventory Daily Report) is equal to 105 million ounces as at August&nbsp;29, 2011. The open positions are approximately nine times as large as the total physical inventory of the COMEX. The Manager believes that the future settlement of the significant short position could create significant incremental demand for physical silver.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of units in one or more classes and series of a class. Currently, the Trust has issued only one class or series of units. 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 a particular class or series of a class entitles the holder thereof to a vote at meetings of unitholders where all classes vote together, or to a vote at meetings of unitholders where that particular class or series of a class of unitholders votes separately as a class.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Trust may not issue additional units of the class 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>

Meetings of unitholders will be held by the Manager or the Trustee at such time and on such day as the Manager or the Trustee may from time to time determine for the purpose of considering the matters required to be placed before such meetings in accordance with the Trust Agreement or applicable laws and for the transaction of such other related matters as the Manager or the Trustee determines. Unitholders holding units representing in aggregate not less than 50% of the value of the net assets of the Trust as determined in accordance with the Trust Agreement may requisition a meeting of unitholders by giving a written notice to the Manager or the Trustee setting out in detail the reason(s)&nbsp;for calling and holding such a meeting. The Trustee will, upon the written request of the Manager or the unitholders holding units representing in aggregate not less than 50% of the value of the net assets of the Trust as determined in accordance with the Trust Agreement, requisition a meeting of unitholders, provided that in the event of a request to call a meeting of unitholders made by such unitholders the Trustee will not be obligated to call any such meeting until it has been satisfactorily indemnified by such unitholders against all costs of calling and holding such meeting. Unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws or stock exchange rules, the Trust need only hold meetings of unitholders as described above and is not required to hold annual or other periodic meetings.</font></p>

Notice of a meeting of unitholders will state the general nature of the matters to be considered by the meeting. A meeting of unitholders may be held at any time and place without notice if all the unitholders entitled to vote thereat are present in person or represented by proxy or, if those not present or represented by proxy waive notice of, or otherwise consent to, such meeting being held.</font></p>

The value of net assets per unit is determined by dividing the value of the net assets of the Trust on a date by the total number of units then outstanding on such date.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Unitholders whose units are redeemed for physical silver bullion will be entitled to receive a redemption price equal to 100% of the NAV of the redeemed units on the last day of the month on which the NYSE Arca is open for trading for the month in respect of which the redemption request is processed. Redemption requests must be for amounts that are at least equivalent to the value of ten London Good Delivery bars or an integral multiple of one bar in excess thereof, plus applicable expenses. A &#147;London Good Delivery bar&#148; weighs between 750 and 1,100 troy ounces (approximately 23 to 34 kilograms) and usually are approximately 1,000 troy ounces. Any fractional amount of redemption proceeds in excess of ten London Good Delivery bars or an integral multiple of one bar in excess thereof will be paid in cash at a rate equal to 100% of the NAV of such excess amount. The ability of a unitholder to redeem units for physical silver bullion may be limited by the sizes of London Good Delivery bars held by the Trust at the time of redemption. A unitholder redeeming units for silver will be responsible for expenses in connection with effecting the redemption and applicable delivery expenses, including the handling of the notice of redemption, the delivery of the physical silver bullion for units that are being redeemed and the applicable silver storage in-and-out fees. For delivery in the continental U.S. and Canada, delivery expenses are currently estimated to be $0.50 per troy ounce at current rates. Current silver storage in-and-out fees are approximately $5 per bar. Assuming a price of silver of $22.00 per troy ounce, bars of 1,000 troy ounces, in-and-out fees charged by the Mint at $5 per bar and estimated delivery expenses at $0.50 per troy ounce, a minimum redemption request would need to be in an amount of approximately $225,050.</font></p>

The Transfer Agent and the Manager review the Silver Redemption Notice and determine that: (i)&nbsp;it complies with all applicable requirements; and (ii)&nbsp;the number of units redeemed is equal to 10,500 troy ounces of silver, which is sufficient in amount for ten London Good Delivery bars plus expected expenses. For purposes of estimating the amount of physical silver bullion to be received by the redeeming unitholder, the Manager estimates the expenses at approximately $500 per bar or $5,000 for ten bars; at $20 per troy ounce, such expenses equal approximately 25 ounces per bar or 250 troy ounces for ten bars. Therefore, the Manager determines that the redeeming unitholder will receive approximately 10,250 troy ounces of physical silver bullion and notifies the Mint that a redemption of approximately 10,250 troy ounces is scheduled. The Transfer Agent then sends a notice to the redeeming unitholder&#146;s broker that the Silver Redemption Notice has been received and determined to be complete.</font></p>

Since the redemption request is for an amount equal to 10,500 troy ounces of silver, the redeeming unitholder will receive ten London Good Delivery bars weighing an aggregate of 10,000 troy ounces plus cash in an amount equal to 500 troy ounces of silver at NAV less delivery and in-and-out expenses, which equals $10,000 less $5,050, or $4,950. The London Good Delivery bars weighing an aggregate of 10,000 troy ounces will be received by the armored transportation service carrier within 10 business days of June&nbsp;30, and the $4,950 in cash will be delivered to the redeeming unitholder&#146;s brokerage account.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Management of the Trust is overseen by Eric Sprott, Charles Oliver and Jamie Horvat. Messrs Oliver and Horvat joined the Manager&#146;s predecessor in January&nbsp;2008 with a focus on the Sprott Gold and Precious Minerals Fund and currently also manage the Sprott Opportunities Hedge Fund LP, the Sprott Opportunities RSP Fund, the Sprott Opportunities Offshore Fund,&nbsp;Ltd., the Sprott Opportunities Capital Fund, L.P., the Sprott Global Equity Fund and the Sprott All Cap Fund. The long-time experience in the precious metals industry of the Manager, its predecessor, Sprott Asset Management Inc., and its affiliates has permitted them to gain an extensive knowledge base in the business of silver, including buying, selling, valuing, pricing, securing or storing silver or silver-related assets. At least 90% of physical silver bullion purchased by the Trust is or will be London Good Delivery bars. Based on compliance procedures established by the Manager over time, once the Trust has agreed to purchase silver bars and the order is executed, on delivery each bar is individually checked against its serial number.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Manager is also subject to Canadian federal and provincial privacy laws regarding the collection, use, disclosure and protection of client information. The <i>Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act</i> (Canada) (&#147;<b>PIPEDA</b>&#148;), which is the Canadian federal privacy legislation governing the private sector, requires that organizations only use personal information for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances and for the purposes for which it is collected. The Trust complies with the applicable requirements of PIPEDA and all applicable provincial personal information laws. The Manager, on behalf of the Trust, collects personal information directly from the investors or through their financial advisor and/or dealer in order to provide such investor with services in connection with their investment, to meet legal and regulatory requirements and for any other purposes to which such investor may consent.</font></p>

The Manager carefully safeguards all personal information collected and retained by it and, to that end, restricts access to personal information to those employees and other persons who need to know the information to enable the Manager to provide its services. Employees are responsible for ensuring the confidentiality of all personal information they may access. Annually, each of the Manager&#146;s employees is required to sign a code of conduct, which contains policies on the protection of personal information.</font></p>

Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the Trustee has agreed that it will continue to accept responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of its sub-custodians in all markets, except Designated Markets, in accordance with its standard of care.

The principal office of the Mint, is located at 320 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0G8, Canada. The Mint is permitted to act as the custodian for such purposes pursuant to the Exemptive Relief.

The Mint is a Canadian Crown corporation responsible for the minting and distribution of Canada&#146;s circulation coins. For its services under the Silver Storage Agreement, which has a term of three years, the Mint receives a fee, currently $2.00 per bar per month. The Mint also receives an in-and-out fee of $5.00 per bar every time a bar is deposited at or withdrawn from the Mint. These fees are subject to increase 30 days following delivery of a written notice to that effect in the event of changes in economic conditions that increase the Mint&#146;s operating costs. Transportation of physical silver bullion to or from the Mint by way of armored transportation service carrier is subject to a separate agreement between the Manager and the Mint, pursuant to which the Trustee is obligated to reimburse the Mint for such transportation costs (except in connection with a redemption of units for physical silver bullion by a unitholder, in which case such costs will be borne by the redeeming unitholder). The Mint has advised the Trust that due to its physical storage capacity constraints in Canada, having regard to the quantity of physical silver that the Trust anticipates purchasing, the Mint may be required to store and hold a portion of the Trust&#146;s physical silver bullion on a fully allocated basis at vault facilities located in Canada leased by the Mint from a sub-custodian for this purpose. The sub-custodian the Mint proposes to use, if necessary, will be The Brink&#146;s Company, acting through its Canadian subsidiary, Brink&#146;s Canada Limited (&#147;<b>Brinks</b>&#148;), which is a leading global provider of secure logistics for valuables, including diamonds, jewellery, precious metals, securities, currency and secure data, serving banks, retailers, governments, mines, refiners, metal traders, and diamantaires. The head office of Brinks is located at 1 Robert Speck Parkway, #1000, Mississauga, Ontario L4Z 3M3. The sub-custodian will be an authorized depository for the LBMA and have vault facilities that are accepted as warehouses for the LBMA.</font></p>

In the event of a discrepancy arising during the verification process, the Mint will promptly notify the Manager. The Mint keeps the Trust&#146;s physical silver bullion specifically identified as the Trust&#146;s property and keeps it on a labeled shelf or physically segregated pallets at all times. The Mint provides a monthly inventory statement, which the Manager reconciles with the Trust&#146;s records of its physical silver bullion holdings.

The Mint bears all risk of physical loss of, or damage to, physical silver bullion of the Trust in the Mint&#146;s custody (regardless of the location at which the Mint decides to store the physical silver bullion), except in the case of circumstances or causes beyond the Mint&#146;s reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts or omissions or the failure to cooperate of the Manager, acts or omissions or the failure to cooperate by any third party, fire or other casualty, act of God, strike or labour dispute, war or other violence, or any law, order or requirement of any governmental agency or authority, and has contractually agreed to replace or pay for lost, damaged or destroyed physical silver bullion in the Trust&#146;s account while in the Mint&#146;s care, custody and control. The Mint&#146;s liability terminates with respect to any physical silver bullion upon termination of the Silver Storage Agreement, whether or not the Trust&#146;s physical silver bullion remains in the Mint&#146;s possession and control, upon transfer of such physical silver bullion to a different customer&#146;s account at the Mint, as requested by the Manager, or at the time such physical silver bullion is remitted to the armored transportation service carrier pursuant to delivery instructions provided by the Manager on behalf of a redeeming unitholder.</font></p>

The Mint will, at its option, either: (i)&nbsp;replace, or restore to its original state in the event of partial damage, as the case may be, the Trust&#146;s physical silver bullion that was lost, destroyed or damaged as soon as practicable after the Mint becomes aware of said loss or destruction, based on the advised weight and assay characteristics provided in the initial notice; or (ii)&nbsp;compensate the Trust, through the Manager, for the monetary value of the Trust&#146;s physical silver bullion that was lost or destroyed, within five Mint business days from the date the Mint becomes aware of said loss or destruction, based on the advised weight and assay characteristics provided in the initial notice and the market value of such physical silver bullion that was lost or destroyed, using the first available London fix of the LBMA from the date the Mint becomes aware of said loss or destruction.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Mint operates pursuant to the <i>Royal Canadian Mint Act</i> (Canada) and is a Canadian Crown corporation. Crown corporations are &#147;agents of Her Majesty the Queen&#148; and, as such, their obligations generally constitute unconditional obligations of the Government of Canada. A Crown corporation may be sued for breach of contract or for wrongdoing in tort where it has acted on its own behalf or on behalf of the Crown. However, a Crown corporation may be entitled to immunity if it acts as agent of the Crown rather than in its own right and on its own behalf. Although the Mint has entered into the Silver Storage Agreement on its own behalf and not on behalf of the Crown, a court may determine that, when acting as custodian of the Trust&#146;s physical silver bullion, the Mint acted as agent of the Crown, and that the Mint may be entitled to immunity of the Crown. Consequently, a unitholder may not be able to recover for any losses incurred as a result of the Mint&#146;s acting as custodian of the Trust&#146;s physical silver bullion. See &#147;Risk Factors &#151; Under Canadian law, the Trust and unitholders may have limited recourse against the Mint&#148;. The Silver Storage Agreement does not establish a principal and agent relationship, partnership or joint venture between the Mint and the Manager nor does it establish a contractual relationship between the Mint and the unitholders.</font></p>

Based on information provided by the Mint, the Manager believes that the insurance carried by the Mint, together with its status as a Canadian Crown corporation with its obligations generally constituting unconditional obligations of the Government of Canada, provides the Trust with such protection in the event of loss or theft of the Trust&#146;s physical silver bullion stored at the Mint that is consistent with the protection afforded under insurance carried by other custodians that store silver commercially.</font></p>

The Manager has established a written charter for the IRC, which includes its mandate, responsibilities and functions, and the written policies and procedures it will follow when performing its functions, including dealing with conflict of interest matters. The Manager maintains records in respect of these matters and provides assistance to the IRC in carrying out its functions. The IRC conducts regular assessments and provides reports, at least annually, to the Trust and to unitholders in respect of its functions. The report prepared by the IRC is made available on the Trust&#146;s website (www.sprottphysicalsilvertrust.com) or, at a unitholder&#146;s request, sent to the unitholder at no cost.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As of the last business day of each fiscal year or such other time as the Manager otherwise determines, the Manager will determine the net income and net realized capital gains in accordance with the Trust Agreement. The initial distribution policy of the Trust will be to make an annual distribution of such net income and net realized capital gains, if any, to unitholders through a distribution of additional units. The Trust does not anticipate making regular cash distributions to unitholders. All distributions are at the discretion of the Trustee, acting on the direction of the Manager.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Distributions, if any, of net income or net realized capital gains will generally be made to unitholders who were unitholders of record as of 5:00&nbsp;p.m., Toronto time, on the last business day prior to any relevant distribution date. The amounts to be paid to a unitholder will be the amount of net income or net realized capital gains determined pursuant to the Trust Agreement divided by the total number of units outstanding at 5:00&nbsp;p.m., Toronto time, on the distribution date multiplied by the number of units held by such unitholder as of 5:00&nbsp;p.m., Toronto time, on the applicable distribution date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager may adopt a method of allocating an appropriate proportion of net income and net realized capital gains to unitholders that redeemed units during the year. All distributions, if declared and paid, will be calculated and, if a cash distribution, paid in United States currency.</font></p>

The Manager may direct that such distribution or payment will be due and payable by the Trust in cash or in additional units. Where distributions are payable in additional units, the Trust&#146;s registrar or Transfer Agent, acting on the direction of the Manager, may round up or round down the number of units in order to avoid the Trust issuing fractional units. Any additional units that are issued in this manner will be of the same class or series of a class at a price equal to the NAV as of the valuation time on the applicable distribution date, and the units will be immediately consolidated so that the number of outstanding units following the distribution will equal the number of units outstanding prior to the distribution.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As used herein, the term &#147;U.S. Holder&#148; means a beneficial owner of units that is a U.S. citizen or resident for U.S. income tax purposes, a U.S. corporation or other U.S. entity taxable as a corporation, an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If a partnership (including an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds the units, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. However, a U.S. person that is an individual, trust or estate and that owns units through a partnership generally will be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation described below that are applicable to U.S. Individual Holders (as defined below). If a unitholder is a partner in a partnership holding the units, such unitholder should consult with his, her or its tax advisor.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As discussed under &#147;Distribution Policy&#148;, 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 units to a U.S. Holder will generally constitute dividends, which will generally be taxable as ordinary income to the extent of the Trust&#146;s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of the Trust&#146;s earnings and profits will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder&#146;s tax basis in his, her or its units on a dollar-for-dollar basis and thereafter as gain from the disposition of units. Since the Trust will be a PFIC, as described below, dividends paid on the units to a U.S. Holder who is an individual, trust or estate, or a U.S. Individual Holder, will generally not be treated as &#147;qualified dividend income&#148; that is taxable to U.S. Individual Holders at preferential tax rates (currently through taxable years ended on or before December 31, 2012). Any dividends generally will be treated as foreign source income for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As described under &#147;Redemption of Units&#148;, a U.S. Holder may have units redeemed for cash or physical silver bullion. Under Section 302 of the Code, a U.S. Holder generally will be treated as having sold his, her or its units (rather than having received a distribution on the units) upon the redemption of units if the redemption completely terminates or significantly reduces the U.S. Holder&#146;s interest in the Trust. In such case, the redemption will be treated as described in the relevant section below depending on whether the U.S. Holder makes a QEF election, a mark-to-market election or makes no election and therefore is subject to the Default PFIC Regime (as defined below).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For purposes of these tests, &#147;passive income&#148; 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 silver bullion is expected to be treated as passive income for this purpose. Since substantially all of the Trust&#146;s assets consist of physical silver bullion and the Trust expects to derive substantially all of its income from the sales of physical silver bullion, it is expected the Trust will be treated as a PFIC for each of its taxable years.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Assuming the Trust is a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will be subject to different taxation rules depending on whether the U.S. Holder: (1) makes an election to treat the Trust as a QEF (a &#147;<b>QEF election</b>&#148;); (2) makes a mark-to-market election with respect to the units, or (3) makes no election and therefore is subject to the Default PFIC Regime (as defined below). As discussed in detail below, making a QEF election or a mark-to-market election generally will mitigate the otherwise adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences under the Default PFIC Regime. However, the mark-to-market election may not be as favourable as the QEF election because a U.S. Holder generally will recognize income each year attributable to any appreciation in the U.S. Holder&#146;s units without a corresponding distribution of cash or other property.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

The Trust intends to annually provide each U.S. Holder with all necessary information in order to make and maintain a QEF election. A U.S. Holder who makes a QEF election for the first taxable year in which he, she or it owns 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. Individual Holder as a Non-Corporate Electing Holder. A U.S. Holder who does not make a timely QEF election would be subject to the Default PFIC Regime for taxable years during his, her or its holding period in which a QEF election was not in effect, unless such U.S. Holder makes a special &#147;purging&#148; election. A U.S. Holder who does not make a timely QEF election is encouraged to consult such U.S. Holder&#146;s tax advisor regarding the availability of such purging election.</font></p>

A Non-Corporate Electing Holder&#146;s <i>pro rata</i> share of the Trust&#146;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 silver bullion by the Trust if the Trust has held the silver bullion for more than one year.

If any holder redeems units for cash and the Trust sells physical silver bullion to fund the redemption (regardless of whether the holder requesting redemption is a U.S. Holder or an Electing Holder), an Electing Holder similarly will include in income his, her or its <i>pro rata</i> share of the Trust&#146;s gain from the sale of the physical silver bullion, which will be taxable as described above even though the Trust&#146;s sale of physical silver bullion is not attributable to any action on the Electing Holder&#146;s part. An Electing Holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the 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 units and will not be taxed again once distributed.

Such gain or loss will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Electing Holder&#146;s holding period in the units is greater than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or other disposition. Long-term capital gains of U.S. Individual Holders currently are taxable at a maximum rate of 15% (scheduled to increase to 20% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012).

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Health Care Reform and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 requires certain U.S. Holders who are individuals to pay a 3.8% tax on the lesser of the excess of their modified adjusted gross income over a threshold amount ($250,000 for married persons filing jointly and $200,000 for single taxpayers) or their &#147;net investment income&#148;, which generally includes dividends and capital gains for the disposition of property, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2012.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Payments made within the United States, or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, of dividends on, or proceeds arising from the sale or other taxable disposition of, units generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, currently at the rate of 28%, if a U.S. Holder fails to furnish its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on IRS Form W-9), and to make certain certifications, or otherwise fails to establish an exemption. Backup withholding tax is not an additional tax. Rather, a U.S. Holder generally may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld under backup withholding rules that exceed his, her, or its income tax liability by filing a refund claim with the IRS.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">U.S. Holders may be subject to certain IRS filing requirements as a result of holding units in the Trust. For example, a U.S. person who transfers property (including cash) to a foreign corporation in exchange for stock in the corporation is in some cases required to file an information return on IRS Form 926 with the IRS with respect to such transfer. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder may be required to file Form 926 with respect to its acquisition of units in an offering. U.S. Holders also may be required to file Form TD F 90-22.1 (Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts) with respect to their investment in the Trust or make other informational filings with the U.S. Treasury Department or the IRS, including pursuant to Section 6038D of the Code if the units constitute &#147;specified foreign financial assets&#148; within the meaning of Section 6038D.

Canadian resident unitholders who are not traders or dealers in securities and who might not otherwise be considered to hold their units as capital property may be entitled to have their units (and every other &#147;Canadian security&#148; owned by them in that taxation year or any subsequent taxation year) treated as capital property by making the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This description is based on the assumptions that the Trust will qualify at all times as a &#147;unit trust&#148; and a &#147;mutual fund trust&#148; within the meaning of the Tax Act and that the Trust will validly elect under the Tax Act to be a mutual fund trust from the date it was established. The Manager expects that the Trust will meet the requirements necessary for it to qualify as a mutual fund trust no later than the closing of an offering and at all times thereafter and will elect to be deemed a mutual fund trust throughout its first taxation year.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">One of the conditions to qualify as a mutual fund trust for the purposes of the Tax Act is that the Trust has not been established or maintained primarily for the benefit of non-residents unless, at all times, all or substantially all of the Trust&#146;s property consists of property other than &#147;taxable Canadian property&#148; (or if certain Tax Proposals released on September 16, 2004 are enacted as proposed, &#147;taxable Canadian property&#148; within the meaning of the Tax Act and certain other types of &#147;specified property&#148;). Physical silver bullion is not &#147;taxable Canadian property&#148; or &#147;specified property&#148;. Accordingly, based on the investment objectives and investment restrictions, the Trust should not hold any such property.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition, to qualify as a mutual fund trust: (i) the Trust must be a Canadian resident &#147;unit trust&#148; for purposes of the Tax Act; (ii) the only undertaking of the Trust must be (a) the investing of its funds in property (other than real property or interests in real property); or (b) the acquiring, holding, maintaining, improving, leasing or managing of any real property (or interest in real property) that is capital property of the Trust; or (c) any combination of the activities described in (a) and (b); and (iii) the Trust must comply with certain minimum requirements regarding the ownership and dispersal of units (the &#147;<b>minimum distribution requirements</b>&#148;). In this connection, the Manager intends to cause the Trust to qualify as a unit trust throughout the life of the Trust and to cause the Trust&#146;s undertaking to conform with the restrictions for mutual fund trusts; and that it has no reason to believe at the date hereof that the Trust will not comply with the minimum distribution requirements at all material times.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Each taxation year of the Trust will end on December 31. In each taxation year, the Trust will be subject to tax under Part I of the Tax Act on any income for the year, including net realized taxable capital gains, less the portion thereof that it deducts in respect of the amounts paid or payable in the year to unitholders. An amount will be considered to be payable to a unitholder in a taxation year if it is paid to the unitholder in the year by the Trust or if the unitholder is entitled in that year to enforce payment of the amount. The Trust intends to deduct, in computing its income in each taxation year, such amount in each year as will be sufficient to ensure that the Trust will generally not be liable for income tax under Part I of the Tax Act. The Trust will be entitled for each taxation year to reduce (or receive a refund in respect of) its liability, if any, for tax on its capital gains by an amount determined under the Tax Act based on the redemption of units during the year. Based on the foregoing, the Trust will generally not be liable for income tax under Part I of the Tax Act.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The CRA has expressed the opinion that gains (or losses) of mutual fund trusts resulting from transactions in commodities should generally be treated for purposes of the Tax Act as being derived from an adventure in the nature in trade, so that such transactions give rise to ordinary income rather than capital gains&#151;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 silver bullion with no intention of disposing of such bullion except <i>in specie</i> on a redemption of units likely would not represent an adventure in the nature of trade so that a disposition, on a redemption of units, of physical silver bullion that previously had been acquired with such intention would likely give rise to a capital gain (or capital loss) to the Trust.

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&#146;s income for that or another taxation year, and such income inclusion will reduce the proceeds of disposition for purposes of computing any capital gain or loss.</font></p>

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 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&#146;s taxation year is less than 365 days.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On October 31, 2003, the Canadian Department of Finance announced a tax proposal relating to the deductibility of losses under the Tax Act (the &#147;<b>October Proposal</b>&#148;). Under the October Proposal, a taxpayer will be considered to have a loss from a business or property for a taxation year only if, in that year, it is reasonable to assume that the taxpayer will realize a cumulative profit from the business or property during the time that the taxpayer has carried on, or can reasonably be expected to carry on, the business or has held, or can reasonably be expected to hold, the property. Profit, for this purpose, does not include capital gains or capital losses. If the October Proposal were to apply to the Trust, certain losses of the Trust or a unitholder could be limited. On February 23, 2005, the Canadian Minister of Finance announced that an alternative proposal to replace the October Proposal would be released for comment. No such alternative proposal has been released as of the date hereof. There can be no assurance that such alternative proposal will not adversely affect the Trust or a unitholder.</font></p>

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.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This part of the general description of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations is applicable to a unitholder who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable tax treaty, is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada at all relevant times (a &#147;<b>Canadian unitholder</b>&#148;). 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="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">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 units or cash. Provided that appropriate designations are made by the Trust, such portion of its net taxable capital gains as is paid or payable to a Canadian unitholder will effectively retain its character and be treated as such in the hands of the unitholder for purposes of the Tax Act.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">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&#146;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&#146;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 units), the Canadian unitholder generally will be required to reduce the adjusted cost base of a unit to the Canadian unitholder by such amount. To the extent that the adjusted cost base of a 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 unit and the Canadian unitholder&#146;s adjusted cost base in respect of the unit will be increased by the amount of such deemed capital gain to zero.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Upon the actual or deemed disposition of a unit, including its redemption, a capital gain (or a capital loss) will generally be realized to the extent that the proceeds of disposition of the unit exceed (or are exceeded by) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of the 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 unit, when a unit is acquired, the cost of the newly acquired unit will be averaged with the adjusted cost base of all units owned by the Canadian unitholder as capital property that were acquired before that time. For this purpose, the cost of 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 units. A consolidation of units following a distribution paid in the form of additional units will not be regarded as a disposition of units and will not affect the aggregate adjusted cost base to a Canadian unitholder of 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 Act. Capital gains realized by individuals may give rise to alternative minimum tax. If any transactions of the Trust are reported by it on capital account but are subsequently determined by the CRA to be on income account, there may be an increase in the net income of the Trust for tax purposes and the taxable component of redemption proceeds (or any other amounts) distributed to unitholders, with the result that Canadian resident unitholders could be reassessed by the CRA to increase their taxable income by the amount of such increase.</font></p>

The cost of any physical silver bullion distributed by the Trust <i>in specie </i>will generally be equal to the fair market value of such physical silver bullion at the time of the distribution. Pursuant to the Trust 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 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 silver bullion to a unitholder who has redeemed units for such physical silver bullion, and any taxable capital gain or income realized by it before, at or after the redemption on selling physical silver bullion in order to fund the payment of the cash redemption proceeds), or such other amount that is determined by the Trust to be reasonable. The Manager anticipates that the Trust 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 described under &#147;Material Income Tax Considerations &#151; Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations &#151; Canadian Taxation of the Trust&#148;). Any such allocations will reduce the redeeming Canadian unitholder&#146;s proceeds of disposition for the purposes of the Tax Act.</font></p>

However, if the Trust realizes a capital gain on the disposition of a taxable Canadian property and that gain is treated under the Tax Act and in accordance with a designation by the Trust as being distributed to a Non-Canadian unitholder, there may be Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% (unless reduced by an applicable tax treaty) on both the taxable and non-taxable portions of the gain.</font></p>

If, as a result of such reduction, the adjusted cost base to the Non-Canadian unitholder in any taxation year of units would otherwise be a negative amount, the Non-Canadian unitholder will be deemed to realize a capital gain in such amount for that year from the disposition of units. Such capital gain will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act, unless the units represent &#147;taxable Canadian property&#148; to such Non-Canadian unitholder.

Units will not be &#147;taxable Canadian property&#148; 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 units were owned by or belonged to one or more of the Non-Canadian unitholder and persons with whom the Non-Canadian unitholder did not deal at arm&#146;s length; and (ii)&nbsp;the units derived directly or indirectly more than 50% of their fair market value from any combination of &#147;Canadian resource properties&#148; (whose definition in the Tax Act does not include silver bullion), real or immovable property situated in Canada, timber resource properties or options or interests in such properties or the units were otherwise deemed to be taxable Canadian property.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Manager anticipates that the Trust generally will treat gains as a result of dispositions of physical silver bullion as capital gains (see above under &#147;&#151; Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations &#151; Canadian Taxation of the Trust&#148;) and that it anticipates that when the Trust distributes physical silver bullion on the redemption of units by Non-Canadian unitholders, any resulting taxable capital gains of the Trust (to the extent that there are resulting net realized capital gains of the Trust for the related taxation year) for which the Trust is not entitled to a capital gains refund, as described under &#147;Material Income Tax Considerations &#151; Canadian Taxation of the Trust&#148; 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 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 silver bullion (or other assets) at a gain and designated one-half of that gain as a taxable capital gain of a Non-Canadian unitholder who had redeemed units for cash, the full amount of such gain generally would be subject to Canadian withholding tax if the CRA were to treat such gain as being from an adventure in the nature of trade rather than as a capital gain.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition to the foregoing, if the CRA were to assess or re-assess the Trust itself on the basis that gains were not on capital account, then the Trust could be required to pay Canadian income tax on such gains under Part&nbsp;I of the Tax Act, which could reduce the Net Asset Value for all unitholders, including non-residents of Canada.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">The value of the units relates directly to the value of the silver held by the Trust, and fluctuations in the price of silver could materially adversely affect an investment in the units.</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The principal factors affecting the value of the units are factors that affect the price of silver. Silver bullion is tradable internationally and its price is generally quoted in U.S. dollars. The price of the units depends on, and typically fluctuates with, the price fluctuations of silver. The price of silver may be affected at any time by many international, economic, monetary and political factors, many of which are unpredictable. These factors include, without limitation:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Trust does not actively trade silver to take advantage of short-term market fluctuations in the price of silver or generate other income. Accordingly, the Trust&#146;s long-term performance is dependent on the long-term performance of the price of silver. As a result, an investment in the Trust will yield long-term gains only if the value of silver increases in an amount in excess of the Trust&#146;s expenses.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Because the cash redemption value of the units is based on 95% of the lesser of: (i)&nbsp;the volume-weighted average trading price of the units traded on the NYSE Arca or, if trading has been suspended on the NYSE Arca, the volume-weighted average trading price of the units traded on the TSX, for the last five days on which the respective exchange is open for trading for the month in which the redemption request is processed; and (ii)&nbsp;the NAV of the redeemed units as of 4:00&nbsp;p.m., Toronto time, on the last day of the month on which the NYSE Arca is open for trading for the month in which the redemption request is processed, redeeming the units for cash will generally yield a lesser amount than selling the units on the NYSE Arca or the TSX, assuming such a sale is possible.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Depending on the size of an offering, the amount of silver that the Trust will purchase in connection with an offering may be significant on a short term basis and such purchase may have the effect of temporarily increasing the spot price of physical silver bullion. Based on data published in the GFMS World Silver Survey 2010, each ten million troy ounces of physical silver bullion purchased by the Trust would represent 1.13% and 1.13% of the total supply of silver available from all sources for the entire twelve-month period in calendar years 2008 and 2009, respectively, as calculated by GFMS. In the event that the purchase of physical silver bullion by the Trust in connection with an offering temporarily increases the spot price of physical silver bullion, the Trust will be able to purchase a smaller amount of physical silver bullion with the proceeds of an offering than otherwise, and if the spot price of physical silver bullion decreases after the purchase of physical silver bullion by the Trust, such decrease would decrease the value of the net assets of the Trust and the NAV.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">London 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 .999 fine silver 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 silver bullion that is not London Good Delivery. The Trust will only purchase London Good Delivery bars, and the physical silver 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 units for physical silver bullion and has the silver delivered to an institution authorized to accept and hold London Good Delivery silver bars through an armored transportation service carrier that is eligible to transport London Good Delivery silver bars, it is likely that the silver will retain its London Good Delivery status while in the custody of that institution. However, if the redeeming unitholder instructs that silver be delivered to a destination other than such an institution, the physical silver bullion delivered to the unitholder will no longer be deemed London Good Delivery once it has been delivered pursuant to the redeeming unitholder&#146;s delivery instructions, which may make a future sale of such silver more difficult.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Trust may conduct further offerings of units from time to time. Under the provisions of the Trust Agreement, the net proceeds to the Trust of any offering must be above NAV at the time 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 units are offered likely will be below the trading price of units of the Trust on the NYSE Arca or TSX at the time of the offering, which may have the effect of lowering the trading price of units immediately after the pricing of such follow-on offering. In addition, if and as long as the trading price of the units is below NAV, it is unlikely that the Trust will be able to conduct a further offering of units, because the Trust Agreement governing the Trust provides such units would have to be offered at a price above the trading price of units.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Trust cannot predict whether the units will trade above, at or below NAV. The trading price of units may not closely track the price of physical silver bullion, and units of the Trust may trade on the NYSE Arca or the TSX at a significant premium or discount from time to time. In addition to changes in the price of physical silver bullion, the trading price of 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 silver bullion as an investment; the lessening in trading volume and general market interest in the Trust&#146;s units which may affect a unitholder&#146;s ability to trade significant numbers of units; and the size of the Trust&#146;s public float which may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in the Trust&#146;s units.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Since December&nbsp;2005, average monthly trading prices for silver bullion have been higher than at any time during the previous 20 years. The Trust anticipates that the price of physical silver bullion going forward and, in turn, the future value of net assets of the Trust and the NAV, will be dependent upon factors such as global physical silver bullion supply and demand, investors&#146; inflation expectations, exchange rate volatility and interest rate volatility. An adverse development with regard to one or more of these factors may lead to a decrease in physical silver bullion trading prices. A decline in prices of physical silver bullion would decrease the value of net assets of the Trust and the NAV.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Any sale of silver by the Trust to pay expenses and to cover certain cash redemptions will reduce the amount of silver represented by each unit on an ongoing basis irrespective of whether the trading price of the units rises or falls in response to changes in the price of silver.</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Each outstanding unit represents an equal, fractional, undivided ownership interest in the net assets of the Trust attributable to the units. As the Trust does not expect to generate any net income and will sell physical silver bullion over time on an as-needed basis to pay for its ongoing expenses and to cover certain redemptions, the amount of silver represented by each unit will and the NAV may, gradually decline over time. This is true even if additional units are issued in future offerings of units by the Trust from time to time, as the amount of silver acquired by the proceeds of any such future offering of units will proportionately reflect the amount of silver represented by such units. Assuming a constant silver price, the trading price of the units is expected to gradually decline relative to the price of silver as the amount of silver represented by the units gradually declines. The units will only maintain their original value if the price of silver increases enough to offset the Trust&#146;s expenses.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Manager will sell physical silver bullion held by the Trust to pay Trust expenses or to cover certain redemptions on an as-needed basis irrespective of then-current silver prices, and no attempt will be made to buy or sell physical silver bullion to protect against or to take advantage of fluctuations in the price of silver. Consequently, the Trust&#146;s physical silver bullion may be sold at a time when the silver price is low. Sales of physical silver bullion at relatively lower silver prices will require the sale of more physical silver bullion, which in turn will have an adverse effect on the value of the net assets of the Trust and the NAV.</font></p>

Because ownership of the physical silver bullion will transfer to such unitholder at the time the Mint surrenders the physical silver bullion to the armored transportation service carrier, the redeeming unitholder will bear the risk of loss from the moment the armored transportation service carrier takes possession of the physical silver bullion on behalf of such unitholder. In the event of any loss or damage in connection with the delivery of the physical silver bullion after such time, such unitholder will not be able to claim damages from the Trust or the Mint but will need to bring a claim against the armored transportation service carrier.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Mint is a Canadian Crown corporation. A Crown corporation may be sued for breach of contract or for wrongdoing in tort where it has acted on its own behalf or on behalf of the Crown. However, a Crown corporation may be entitled to immunity if it acts as agent of the Crown rather than in its own right and on its own behalf. The Mint has entered into the Silver Storage Agreement relating to the custody of the Trust&#146;s physical silver bullion on its own behalf and not on behalf of the Crown; nevertheless, a court may determine that, when acting as custodian of the Trust&#146;s physical silver bullion, the Mint acted as agent of the Crown and, accordingly, that the Mint may be entitled to immunity of the Crown. Consequently, the Trust or a unitholder may not be able to recover for any losses incurred as a result of the Mint&#146;s acting as custodian of the Trust&#146;s physical silver bullion.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In the past, there has been speculation regarding whether the Government of Canada might privatize the Mint. The Mint will not remain a Crown corporation if the Government of Canada privatizes the Mint. If the Mint were to become a private entity, its obligations would no longer generally constitute unconditional obligations of the Government of Canada and, although it would continue to be responsible for and bear the risk of loss of, and damage to, the Trust&#146;s physical silver bullion that is in its custody, there would be no assurance that the Mint would have the resources to satisfy claims of the Trust against the Mint based on a loss of, or damage to, the Trust&#146;s physical silver bullion in the custody of the Mint.</font></p>

In such a case, when the Trust&#146;s physical silver bullion is sold as part of the Trust&#146;s liquidation, the resulting proceeds distributed to unitholders will be less than if silver prices were higher at the time of sale. In certain circumstances, the Manager has the ability to terminate the Trust without the consent of unitholders. The Manager&#146;s interests may differ from those of the unitholders, and the Manager may terminate the Trust at a time that is not advantageous for the unitholder.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Trust competes with other financial vehicles, including traditional debt and equity securities issued by companies in the silver industry and other securities backed by or linked to silver, direct investments in silver and investment vehicles similar to the Trust. Market and financial conditions, and other conditions beyond the Manager&#146;s control, may make it more attractive to invest in other financial vehicles or to invest in silver directly, which could limit the market for the units and reduce the liquidity of the units and, accordingly, the price received for sales of units on the NYSE Arca or the TSX.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Trust has retained cash from the net proceeds of its offerings in an amount not in excess of 3% of the net proceeds of the offerings in order to provide available funds for expenses and any cash redemptions. If the Trust&#146;s expenses are higher than estimated, the Trust may need to sell physical silver bullion earlier than anticipated to meet its expenses and any cash redemptions. In addition, from time to time the Trust will sell physical silver bullion to replenish this cash reserve to meet its expenses and any cash redemptions. Such sales may result in a reduction of the NAV and the trading price of the units. There is no limit on the total amount of silver that the Trust may sell in order to pay expenses.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Trust is not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is not required to register under such act. Consequently, unitholders do not have the regulatory protections provided to investors in investment companies. The Trust does not and will not hold or trade in commodity futures contracts regulated by the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as administered by the U.S.&nbsp;Commodity Futures Trading Commission, (the &#147;<b>CFTC</b>&#148;). Furthermore, the Trust is not a commodity pool for purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act, and neither the Manager nor the Trustee is subject to regulation by the CFTC as a commodity pool operator or a commodity trading advisor in connection with the units. Consequently, unitholders do not have the regulatory protections provided to investors in Commodity Exchange Act-regulated instruments or commodity pools nor may COMEX or any futures exchange enforce its rules&nbsp;with respect to the Trust&#146;s activities. In addition, unitholders do not benefit from the protections afforded to investors in silver futures contracts on regulated futures exchanges.</font></p>

The Manager currently manages 24 mutual funds and hedge funds, of which 10 include physical silver bullion as part of their portfolios. One of these mutual funds, a Canadian public mutual fund called the Sprott Silver Bullion Fund, has an investment objective and strategy to hold physical silver bullion, similar to the Trust. The staff of the Manager devote as much time to the Trust as is deemed appropriate to perform their duties, the staff of the Manager may have conflicts in allocating their time and services among the Trust and the other accounts, funds or trusts managed by the Manager.</font></p>

The Trust does not carry any insurance to cover such potential obligations and, to the Manager&#146;s knowledge, none of the foregoing parties are insured for losses for which the Trust has agreed to indemnify them. Any indemnification paid by the Trust would reduce the value of net assets of the Trust and, accordingly, the NAV.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Because the Trust is organized as a trust rather than a corporation, the rights of unitholders are set forth in the Trust Agreement rather than in a corporate statute. This means that unitholders do not have the statutory rights normally associated with the ownership of shares in an Ontario corporation. For example, the Trust is not subject to minimum quorum requirements, is not required to hold annual meetings, and has no officers or directors. Unitholders have the right to vote on matters brought before unitholders in accordance with the Trust Agreement but do not have a right to elect the Manager, though unitholders do have the right to remove the Manager in certain circumstances.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As noted above and described in detail under &#147;Material Income Tax Considerations &#151; Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations&#148;, a U.S. Holder generally may mitigate the U.S. federal income tax consequences under the PFIC rules&nbsp;of holding units of the Trust by making a QEF election. A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF election must report each year for U.S. federal income tax purposes his, her or its <i>pro rata</i> share of the Trust&#146;s ordinary earnings and the Trust&#146;s net capital gain, if any, regardless of whether or not distributions were received from the Trust by the U.S. Holder. If any holder redeems units for physical silver bullion (regardless of whether the holder requesting redemption is a U.S. Holder or has made a QEF election), the Trust will be treated as if it sold the physical silver bullion for its fair market value. As a result, all the U.S. Holders who have made a QEF election will be required to currently include in their income their <i>pro rata</i> share of the Trust&#146;s gain from such deemed disposition (which generally will be taxable to non-corporate U.S. Holders at a maximum rate of 28% under current law if the Trust has held the physical silver bullion for more than one year), even though such deemed disposition is not attributable to any action on their part. If any holder redeems units for cash and the Trust sells physical silver bullion to fund the redemption (regardless of whether the holder requesting redemption is a U.S. Holder or has made a QEF election), all the U.S. Holders who have made a QEF election similarly will include in their income their <i>pro rata</i> share of the Trust&#146;s gain from the sale of the physical silver bullion, which will be taxable as described above, even though the Trust&#146;s sale of physical silver bullion is not attributable to any action on their part.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Trust Agreement provides that no unitholder will be subject to any liability whatsoever, in tort, contract or otherwise, to any person in connection with the investment obligations, affairs or assets of the Trust and all such persons will look solely to the Trust&#146;s assets for satisfaction of claims of any nature arising out of or in connection therewith. Also, under the <i>Trust Beneficiaries&#146; Liability Act, 2004</i> (Ontario), holders of units of a trust governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario that is a reporting issuer under the <i>Securities Act</i> (Ontario) (as the Trust is) are not, as beneficiaries, liable for any act, default, obligation or liability of the Trust. Notwithstanding the above, there is a risk that a unitholder could be held personally liable for obligations of the Trust to the extent that claims are not satisfied out of the assets of the Trust if a court finds: (i)&nbsp;that Ontario law does not govern the ability of a third party to make a claim against a beneficiary of a trust and that the applicable governing law permits such a claim; or (ii)&nbsp;that the unitholder was acting in a capacity other than as a beneficiary of the trust.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In order to qualify as a mutual fund under the Tax Act, the Trust must comply with various requirements contained in the Tax Act, including (in&nbsp;many or most circumstances) requirements to hold substantially all its property in assets (such as physical silver bullion and cash) that are not &#147;taxable Canadian property&#148;, and to restrict its undertaking to the investing of its funds. See &#147;Material Income Tax Considerations &#151; Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations &#151; Qualification as a Mutual Fund Trust&#148;. If the Trust were to cease to qualify as a mutual fund (whether as a result of a change of law or administrative practice, or due to its failure to comply with the current Canadian requirements for qualification as a mutual fund trust), it may experience various potential adverse consequences, including becoming subject to a deemed realization of its assets for their fair market value every 21 years, becoming subject to a requirement to withhold tax on distributions made to non-resident unitholders of any capital gains realized from the dispositions of physical silver bullion, the units not qualifying for investment by Canadian registered plans and units of the Trust ceasing to qualify as &#147;Canadian Securities&#148; for the purposes of the election provided in subsection 39(4)&nbsp;of the Tax Act.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">If the Trust were to carry on a business in Canada in a taxation year or acquire securities that were &#147;non-portfolio properties&#148;, it could become subject to tax at full corporate tax rates on some or all of its income for that year.</font></b></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">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 &#147;non-portfolio properties&#148;, it could become a SIFT trust. Although the activities of the Trust, as described in this annual information form, are intended to avoid having the Trust characterized as a SIFT trust, it may be possible that the CRA would take a different (and adverse) view of this issue. 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 &#147;Material Income Tax Considerations &#151; Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations &#151; SIFT Trust Rules&#148;.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">If the Trust treats distributed gains as being on capital account and the 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 units.</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Manager anticipates that the Trust generally will treat gains (or losses) as a result of dispositions of physical silver bullion as capital gains (or capital losses), although depending on the circumstances, it may instead include (or deduct) the full amount of such gains in computing its income.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">determined by the CRA to be on income account, there may be an increase in the net income of the Trust for tax purposes and the taxable component of redemption proceeds (or any other amounts) distributed to unitholders, with the result that Canadian-resident unitholders could be reassessed by the CRA to increase their taxable income by the amount of such increase, and non-resident unitholders potentially could be assessed directly by the CRA for Canadian withholding tax on the amount of net gains on such transactions that were treated by the CRA as having been distributed to them. The CRA can assess the Trust for a failure of the Trust to withhold tax on distributions made by it to non-resident unitholders that are subject to withholding tax, and typically would do so rather than assessing the non-resident unitholders directly. Accordingly, any such re-determination by the CRA may result in the Trust being liable for unremitted withholding taxes on prior distributions made to unitholders who were not resident in Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act at the time of the distribution. See &#147;Material Income Tax Considerations &#151; Canadian Taxation of Unitholders &#151; Unitholders Not Resident in Canada&#148;. As the Trust may not be able to recover such withholding taxes from the non-resident unitholders whose units were redeemed, payment of any such amounts by the Trust would reduce the NAV and the trading prices of the&nbsp;units.</font></p>

Upon such deposit being made, the units represented thereby will be cancelled and the Trust&#146;s registrar and transfer agent, the Manager, and the Trustee will be released from any and all further liability with respect to such moneys. Thereafter, the unitholder will have no rights against the Transfer Agent, the Trustee or the Manager to such moneys or an accounting therefor.</font></p>
