Sprott Silver Miners & Physical Silver ETF Reaches $100 Million in Assets
Only1 U.S.-Listed ETF Providing Pure-Play2 Exposure to Silver Miners and Physical Silver
Rapidly Gains Assets
TORONTO, July 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sprott Asset Management USA, Inc. today announced that the Sprott Silver Miners & Physical Silver ETF (Nasdaq: SLVR) (the “ETF” or “SLVR”) reached $100 million (USD) in assets under management on June 30, 2025, after its launch on January 15, 2025. SLVR is the only1 ETF focused on providing pure-play2 exposure to silver miners and physical silver, an undervalued precious metal with evolving industrial and technological uses. The ETF draws on Sprott Asset Management’s extensive experience in the precious metals and critical materials space.
"We believe silver has been considerably undervalued relative to gold, but silver seems to be hitting its stride, with prices recently breaking $35 per ounce for the first time in more than 12 years. Silver miners may be well-positioned as prices rise, fundamentals improve, and industrial demand grows,” said John Ciampaglia, CEO of Sprott Asset Management. “We’re pleased that, in the five months since we launched SLVR, investors have embraced the opportunity to invest in silver miners and physical silver.”
The Sprott Silver Miners & Physical Silver ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of the Nasdaq Sprott Silver Miners™ Index
(NSLVR™) by investing at least 80% of its total assets in securities of the Index. The Nasdaq Sprott Silver Miners IndexTM is designed to track the performance of a selection of securities in the silver industry, including silver producers, developers and explorers, and physical silver.
SLVR is part of Sprott’s growing family of precious metals ETFs that include the Sprott Active Gold & Silver Miners ETF (GBUG), Sprott Gold Miners ETF (SGDM) and Sprott Junior Gold Miners ETF (SGDJ) as well as a suite of critical materials ETFs providing pure-play2 exposure to uranium, copper, lithium, and nickel miners.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of each fund carefully before investing. To obtain a fund’s Prospectus, which contains this and other information, contact your financial professional, call 1.888.622.1813 or visit SprottETFs.com. Read the Prospectus carefully before investing.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are considered to have continuous liquidity because they allow for an individual to trade throughout the day, which may indicate higher transaction costs and result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account.
The funds are non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers, particularly those in the natural resources and/ or precious metals industry, which may experience greater price volatility. Relative to other sectors, natural resources and precious metals investments have higher headline risk and are more sensitive to changes in economic data, political or regulatory events, and underlying commodity price fluctuations. Risks related to extraction, storage and liquidity should also be considered.
Shares are not individually redeemable. Investors buy and sell shares of the funds on a secondary market. Only market makers or “authorized participants” may trade directly with the fund, typically in blocks of 10,000 shares.
