Sprott Completes Acquisition of Central Fund of Canada and Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust to Commence Trading

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - January 16, 2018) - Sprott Asset Management ("SAM"), Central Fund of Canada Limited ("CFCL") and the newly-formed Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust (NYSE ARCA: CEF) (TSX:CEF.U) (the "Trust") announced today that Sprott Inc. has successfully completed its previously announced acquisition of the common shares of CFCL, and the right to administer and manage CFCL's assets, and that CFCL's class A shareholders are now unitholders of the Trust. The Trust will begin trading today under the ticker symbols: "CEF" on the NYSE Arca and "CEF.U" on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

"We are pleased to successfully complete this transaction and unlock significant value for CFCL shareholders who provided overwhelming support for this transaction," said John Ciampaglia, CEO of SAM. "The new Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust will add another world class physical bullion vehicle to our product lineup and will offer investors the same benefits as our other bullion trusts, including our industry-leading physical redemption feature."

"On behalf of SAM, I would like to thank Stefan Spicer and the CFCL board of directors for their support," continued Mr. Ciampaglia. "We look forward to welcoming the more than 90,000 new investors to our client base and providing them with an investment vehicle that is expected to more closely track the value of its underlying assets."

Storage for the physical gold and silver bullion held by the Trust will be transitioned to the Royal Canadian Mint, a federal Crown Corporation of the Government of Canada (the "Mint"). SAM's relationship with the Mint will be beneficial for unitholders of the Trust as the cost of storage will decline by over 30% versus the historical costs of CFCL. Storage by the Mint ensures that there is no levered financial institution between the unitholders of the Trust and the underlying bullion assets.
