usk,

I doubt Sprott needed cash but this is a possibility. Physical may be the ticket. But there is one more possibility: they don't feel the silver miners are going to perform as a group, including Golden.

That seems to go against the grain of analysts in the field who feel silver is going to go as high as maybe $200 but could silver go up and the miners not??! It is possible, anything is, but it is unheard of to this point as compared to previous bull markets in the PMs.
