This allows investors to avoid purely isolated sector exposure while reaping dividends instead of paying management fees. Critics argue that this could lead to potential bias in opinions shared, but overall, the sentiment remains optimistic about the growth potential of these ETFs.

So rather than isolate yourself in the upside of a small sector, you can own the whole resource space by owning SII.
Disclosure: He's the largest shareholder of Sprott, so saying nice things about the ETFs is in his own interest.
