SPROTT INC.

Lease commitments

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability as at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of future lease payments over the anticipated lease term, discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use asset is presented in the property and equipment line of the consolidated balance sheets and the short and long-term portions of the lease liability are presented in the accounts payable and accrued liabilities line and other accrued liabilities line, respectively, of the consolidated balance sheets. The Company used the practical expedient when applying IFRS 16, Leases for short-term leases under 12 months and low-value assets such as IT equipment, with lease payments being expensed as they are incurred.
