 (the &#147;Sponsor&#148;) and the Bank of New York Mellon (the &#147;Trustee&#148;) at the time

 (&#147;Shares&#148;) (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. Shares represent units of
 fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the Trust which
 are issued by the Trust. The Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company
 and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ETF Securities Limited, a Jersey, Channel
 Islands based company. The Trust is governed by the Trust Agreement.</FONT></P>

 Trust, at the Zurich, Switzerland vaulting premises of UBS A.G. (the &#147;Zurich
 Sub-Custodian&#148;) and is valued, for financial statement purposes, at the lower
 of cost or market. The cost of gold is determined according to the average
 cost method and the market value is based on the London PM Fix used to
 determine the net asset value (the &#147;NAV&#148;) of the Trust. Realized gains and
 losses on transfers of gold, or gold distributed for the redemption of
 Shares, are calculated on a trade date basis using average cost. The London
 PM Fix price for gold is set using the afternoon session of the twice daily
 fix of the price of gold by five market making members of the London Bullion
 Market Association at approximately 3:00 PM London Time, on each working day.

 Trust expects to create and redeem Shares from time to time, but only in one
 or more Baskets (a Basket equals a block of 50,000 Shares). The Trust issues
 Shares in Baskets to Authorized Participants on an ongoing basis. Individual
 investors cannot purchase or redeem Shares in direct transactions with the
 Trust. An Authorized Participant is a person who (1) is a registered
 broker-dealer or other securities market participant such as a bank or other
 financial institution which is not required to register as a broker-dealer to
 engage in securities transactions, (2) is a participant in The Depository
 Trust Company, (3) has entered into an Authorized Participant Agreement with
 the Trustee, and (4) has established an Authorized Participant Unallocated
 Account with the Trust&#146;s Custodian. An Authorized Participant Agreement is an
 agreement entered into by each Authorized Participant, the Sponsor and the
 Trustee which provides the procedures for the creation and redemption of Baskets
 and for the delivery of the gold required for such creations and redemptions.
 An Authorized Participant Unallocated Account is an unallocated gold account,
 either loco London or loco Zurich, established with the Custodian or a gold
 clearing bank by an Authorized Participant.</FONT></P>

 Trust has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) Accounting
 Standards Codification (&#147;ASC&#148;) 740-10, Income Taxes (formerly FASB
 Interpretation Number 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes). 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>

 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 of
 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;

 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 effect on the
 Trust&#146;s financial position and results of operations.</FONT></P>

 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.</FONT></P>

 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.</FONT></P>

 of the London PM Fix on each day that the NYSE Arca is open for regular
 trading or as soon as practicable after 4:00 p.m. New York time on such day,
 (the &#147;Evaluation Time&#148;) the Trustee values the gold held by the Trust and
 determines both the ANAV and the NAV of the Trust.<BR><BR>At the Evaluation Time,
 the Trustee values the Trust&#146;s gold on the basis of that day&#146;s London PM Fix,
 or, if no London PM Fix is made on such day or has not been announced by the
 Evaluation Time, the next most recent London gold price (AM or PM) determined
 prior to the Evaluation Time is used, unless the Sponsor determines that such
 price is inappropriate as a basis for valuation. In the case this
 determination is made, the Sponsor will identify an alternative basis for
 such evaluation to be used by the Trustee.<BR><BR>Once the value of the gold held by
 the Trust has been determined, the Trustee subtracts all estimated accrued
 but unpaid fees and other liabilities of the Trust from the total value of
 the gold and all other assets of the Trust. The resulting figure is the ANAV
 of the Trust. The ANAV is used to compute the Sponsor&#146;s Fee.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>I, Graham

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

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><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 ALIGN=JUSTIFY><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 ALIGN=JUSTIFY><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 ALIGN=JUSTIFY><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 ALIGN=JUSTIFY><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 ALIGN=JUSTIFY><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 ALIGN=JUSTIFY><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 ALIGN=JUSTIFY><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 ALIGN=JUSTIFY><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 ALIGN=JUSTIFY><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>
