There are a couple of conflicting messages
Very junior discovery activity seems out of bounds (similarly even "GLDX explorers ETF holdings" are mainly developers of well explored and defined deposits, so really just taking the producing aspect out of GDXJ).
- "Why invest in junior miners? -"High-value discoveries and mine development can create enormous upside potential" ..........But......."The Index methodology tends to favor junior and intermediate producers versus early stage exploration companies whose historical success rate is low."
What are the SGDJ holdings? Are they different from GDXJ Holdings or BMO's ZJG Holdings?
Sprott have less royalty here, B2 and Centerra are much more significant and the x3 silver miners stand out, though I recall GDXJ started out with a high % of silver miners.

So how has Sprott's senior Gold Miner ETF - SGDM fared since launch against GDX Holdings?
Not so good.
Here they have a policy of high exposure to "stronger balance sheets" in particular Randgold and Franco Nevada, which did not suffer to the degree Barrick, Goldcorp and Newmont did and have not seen the same rebounds.
