Fund Description
The Sprott Hedge Fund L.P. (the “Fund”) investment objective is to maximize absolute returns on investments. The Fund intends to accomplish its set
objective through superior securities selection by taking both long and short investment positions. The Fund’s managers may also execute arbitrage
strategies, seek spin-off opportunities and participate in select private placements in order to maximize investment returns. The investment team will
vary the allocation of long and short positions depending on their view of the domestic and international economy and market trends including liquidity
flows within the U.S. financial system. The Fund will overweight certain industry sectors and asset classes, such as cash and gold when deemed
appropriate by the Investment Manager.

Fund Description
The Sprott Small Cap Hedge Fund's investment objective is to provide unitholders with long-term capital growth. The Fund invests primarily in Canadian
equity securities, with a significant bias toward small to medium capitalization stocks where the pricing of securities is less efficient. The Manager uses a
variety of tools in order to assess a security before it enters the portfolio. The tools include quantitative and qualitative factors. The Manager uses a database
of over 700 small and medium size securities to screen for those with strong earnings growth, high returns on equity, reasonable valuations and strong
balance sheets. The Manager meets with over 500 management teams a year in order to qualitatively assess their investment merit. Preference is given to
those companies that fit the Manager's "growth at a reasonable price" criteria. The above-mentioned factors form the basis of the Manager's decision making
process to select those stocks which should be purchased and those which should be shorted.
