The Sprott Flow-Through Advantage
Sprott believes that it has several competitive advantages in terms of its ability to generate attractive returns investing in flow-through shares:
Significant Tax Benefits
What are Flow-Through shares?
The Income Tax Act (Canada) contains provisions that allow investors to access expenses incurred by a company, in an effort to assist in financing of resource exploration projects in Canada. Resource Issuers1 can renounce certain exploration expenses2 to investors, who are then able to deduct these expenses against their own income.
What is a Flow-Through Limited Partnership?
Investors can buy flow-through shares directly from Resource Issuers, but in many cases such companies represent high-risk investments. A flow-through limited partnership is an investment vehicle that offers professional management and, most importantly, diversification. The use of a limited partnership permits income tax deductions to be allocated to, and utilized by, limited partners while at the same time providing for limited liability, subject to certain qualifications.
Tax Planning for Individuals
The following table set forth certain financial aspects, based on the estimates and assumptions in the notes to the tables below, for a Limited Partner who is an individual (other than a trust), who has invested $1,000, assuming the investor is an Ontario resident in top marginal tax rate of 46.41%, BC resident in top marginal tax rate of 43.70% and Alberta resident in top marginal tax rate of 39.00% (for further details, please refer to illustrative tables in the Prospectus Summary).
