I noticed Coremark securities today on Noront's time and sales...haven't seen that name for a LONG time. It's the Coremark, and TD-RBC triple play today.
And Coremark.....became the new name for Sprott Securities back in 2007.
My understanding is they act for Sprott....

Now, meet Coremark Securities. That's the new name for 102-employee Sprott Securities, founded in 1981 by Eric Sprott. In one of the better-executed succession strategies seen on Bay Street, Mr. Sprott left sales and corporate finance seven years ago to become one of Canada's top hedge fund managers, selling the dealer to colleagues.
=============================================================
and not to forget Sprott is invested in Northern superior.
