 ETFS Gold Trust (the &#147;Trust&#148;) is an investment trust formed on September 1,
 2009, under New York law pursuant to a depositary trust agreement (the &#147;Trust
 Agreement&#148;) executed by ETF Securities USA LLC (the &#147;Sponsor&#148;) and the Bank
 of New York Mellon (the &#147;Trustee&#148;) at the time of the Trust&#146;s organization.
 The Trust holds gold bullion and issues shares (&#147;Shares&#148;)<SUP>1</SUP> (in
 minimum blocks of 50,000 Shares, also referred to as &#147;Baskets&#148;) in exchange
 for deposits of gold and distributes gold in connection with the redemption
 of Baskets. The Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company and a
 wholly-owned subsidiary of ETF Securities Limited, a Jersey, Channel Islands&#146;
 based company. The Trust is governed by the Trust Agreement.<BR><BR>The investment
 objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the performance of the
 price of gold, less the Trust&#146;s expenses and liabilities. The Trust is
 designed to provide an individual owner of beneficial interests in the Shares
 (a &#147;Shareholder&#148;) an opportunity to participate in the gold market through an
 investment in securities. The fiscal year end for the Trust is December 31.<BR><BR>
 The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance
 with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
 America for interim financial information and with the instructions for the
 Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management of the Sponsor, all adjustments
 (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
 financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the
 three months ended March 31, 2010 have been made.<BR><BR>Certain information and
 footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
 accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
 of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial
 statements should be read in conjunction with the Trust&#146;s Annual Report on Form
 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The results of operations
 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of
 the operating results for the full year.</FONT></P>

 Individual investors cannot purchase or redeem Shares in direct transactions

 <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Unless
 otherwise directed by the Sponsor, when selling gold the Trustee will
 endeavor to sell at the price established by the London PM Fix. The Trustee
 will place orders with dealers (which may include the Custodian) through
 which the Trustee expects to receive the most favorable price and execution
 of orders. The Custodian may be the purchaser of such gold only if the sale
 transaction is made at the next London PM Fix, or such other publicly
 available price that the Sponsor deems fair, in each case as set following
 the sale order. A gain or loss is recognized based on the difference between
 the selling price and the average cost of the gold sold. Neither the Trustee
 nor the Sponsor is liable for depreciation or loss incurred by reason of any
 sale.</FONT></P>

 Trust has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) Accounting
 Standards Codification (&#147;ASC&#148;) 740-10, <I>Income
 Taxes</I> (formerly FASB Interpretation Number 48, <I>Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes</I>).
 The Sponsor has evaluated the application of ASC 740 to the Trust, to
 determine whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial
 statement recognition. Based on this evaluation, the Trust has determined no
 reserves for uncertain tax positions are required to be recorded as a result
 of the application of ASC 740. As a result,
 no income tax liability or expense has been recorded in the accompanying
 financial statements.</FONT></P>

 <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust&#146;s sole business activity is the investment in gold, and
 substantially all the Trust&#146;s assets are holdings of gold which creates a
 concentration risk associated with fluctuations in the price of gold. Several
 factors could affect the price of gold, including: (i) global gold supply and
 demand, which is influenced by factors such as forward selling by gold
 producers, purchases made by gold producers to unwind gold hedge positions,
 central bank purchases and sales, and production and cost levels in major
 gold-producing countries; (ii) investors&#146; expectations with respect to the
 rate of inflation; (iii) currency exchange rates; (iv) interest rates; (v)
 investment and trading activities of hedge funds and commodity funds; and
 (vi) global or regional political, economic or financial events and
 situations. In addition, there is no assurance that gold will maintain its
 long-term value in terms of purchasing power in the future. In the event that
 the price of gold declines, the Sponsor expects the value of an investment in
 the Shares to decline proportionately. Each of these events could have a
 material affect on the Trust&#146;s financial position and results of operations. </FONT></P>

 <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust is a common law trust, formed under the laws of the state
 of New York on the Date of Inception. The Trust is not managed like a
 corporation or an active investment vehicle. It does not have any officers,
 directors, or employees and is administered by the Trustee pursuant to the
 Trust Agreement. The Trust is not registered as an investment company under
 the Investment Company Act of 1940 and is not required to register under such
 act. It will not hold or trade in commodity futures contracts, nor is it a
 commodity pool, subject to regulation as a commodity pool operator or a
 commodity trading adviser in connection with issuing Shares.<BR><BR>The Trust holds
 gold and is expected to issue Baskets in exchange for deposits of gold, and
 to distribute gold in connection with redemptions of Baskets. Shares issued
 by the Trust represent units of undivided beneficial interest in and
 ownership of the Trust. The investment objective of the Trust is for the
 Shares to reflect the performance of the price of gold, less the Trust&#146;s
 expenses. The Sponsor believes that, for many investors, the Shares will
 represent a cost effective investment relative to traditional means of
 investing in gold.<BR><BR>The Trust issues and redeems Shares only with Authorized
 Participants in exchange for gold, only in aggregations of 50,000 or integral
 multiples thereof. A list of current Authorized Participants is available
 from the Sponsor or the Trustee.<BR><BR>Shares of the Trust trade on the New York
 Stock Exchange (the &#147;NYSE&#148;) Arca under the symbol &#147;SGOL&#148;. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>I, Graham
Tuckwell, certify that: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>1. I have
reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of ETFS Gold Trust; </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>2. Based on my
knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in
light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not
misleading with respect to the period covered by this report; </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>3. Based on my
knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included
in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and
for, the periods presented in this report; </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>4. The
registrant&#146;s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing
and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant
and have:</FONT></P>

<P style=margin-left:4%><FONT SIZE=2>(a)
Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that
material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated
subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
during the period in which this report is being prepared; </FONT></P>

<P style=margin-left:4%><FONT SIZE=2>(b)
Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such
internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision,
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles; </FONT></P>

<P style=margin-left:4%><FONT SIZE=2>(c)
Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant&#146;s disclosure controls and
procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness
of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered
by this report based on such evaluation; and </FONT></P>

<P style=margin-left:4%><FONT SIZE=2>(d)
Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant&#146;s internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the registrant&#146;s most recent fiscal
quarter (the registrant&#146;s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual
report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the registrant&#146;s internal control over financial reporting; and </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>5. The
registrant&#146;s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most
recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
registrant&#146;s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant&#146;s board of
directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions): </FONT></P>

<P style=margin-left:4%><FONT SIZE=2>(a)
All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation
of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
adversely affect the registrant&#146;s ability to record, process, summarize and
report financial information; and </FONT></P>

<P style=margin-left:4%><FONT SIZE=2>(b)
Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
who have a significant role in the registrant&#146;s internal control over financial
reporting. </FONT></P>
