Forward-Looking Information
This presentation contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation and “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This information and these statements, referred to herein as “forward-
looking statements”, are made as of the date of this presentation and the Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these
forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect current expectations or beliefs regarding future events and include,
but are not limited to, statements with respect to: (i) the amount of mineral resources and exploration targets; (ii) the amount of future production over any
period; (iii) net present value and internal rates of return of the mining operation; (iv) assumptions relating to capital costs, operating costs and other cost
metrics set out in the Feasibility Study or the Optimization Study; (v) assumptions relating to gross revenues, operating cash flow and other revenue
metrics set out in the Feasibility Study or the Optimization Study; (vi) assumptions relating to recovered grade, average ore recovery, internal dilution,
mining dilution and other mining parameters set out in the Feasibility Study or the Optimization Study; (vii) mine expansion potential and expected mine
life; (viii) expected time frames for completion of permitting and regulatory approvals and making a production decision; (ix) the expected time frames for
delivery of a winter road by the Québec Ministère des Transports, construction of a mining grade road by Stornoway and completion generally of the
Route 167 extension and the financial obligations or costs incurred by Stornoway in connection with such road extension; (x) future exploration plans; (xi)
future market prices for rough diamonds; and (xii) sources of and anticipated financing requirements. Any statements that express or involve discussions
with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using
words or phrases such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “projects”, “estimates”, “assumes”, “intends”, “strategy”, “goals”, “objectives” or variations
thereof or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of
these terms and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are made based upon certain assumptions by Stornoway or its consultants and other important factors that, if untrue, could
cause the actual results, performances or achievements of Stornoway to be materially different from future results, performances or achievements
expressed or implied by such statements. Such statements and information are based on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business
strategies and the environment in which Stornoway will operate in the future, including the price of diamonds, anticipated costs and ability to achieve
goals. Certain important factors that could cause actual results, performances or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to: (i) estimated approval date of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment; (ii) required capital investment
and estimated workforce requirements; (iii) estimates of net present value and internal rates of return; (iv) receipt of regulatory approvals on acceptable
terms within commonly experienced time frames; (v) the assumption that a production decision will be made, and that decision will be positive; (vi)
anticipated timelines for the commencement of mine production; (vii) anticipated timelines related to the delivery of a winter road by the Québec Ministère
des Transports, construction of a mining grade road by Stornoway and completion generally of the Route 167 extension and the impact on the
development schedule at Renard; (viii) anticipated timelines for community consultations and the impact of those consultations on the regulatory approval
process; (ix) market prices for rough diamonds and the potential impact on the Renard Project’s value; and (x) future exploration plans and objectives.
When relying on our forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to Stornoway, investors and others should carefully consider the
foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Stornoway does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or
oral, that may be made from time to time by Stornoway or on our behalf, except as required by law.

De Beers Production Forecast Rio Tinto Production Forecast
Almost all rough diamond production forecasts show flat or declining production long term. De Beers see
production peaking in 2017, and broad reserve depletion thereafter.
Rough production is not expected to reach 2008 levels in carat terms again.
No large scale diamond mine has been discovered since the discovery of EKATI and Diavik in the early
1990s. The movement to underground mining in Russia, South Africa and Canada will lower overall industry
margins.

Renard is Continuing to Grow
Renard 65 Bulk Sample: Expansion in the Project Reserve
Renard 65 currently contains:
• 3.7 mcarats of Inferred Mineral Resources
(12.9mtonnes at 29 carats per hundred tonnes)
• 6.8 to 13.7 mcarats of Exploration Target (29.5 to
41.6 mtonnes at 23 to 33 cpht)
Stornoway recently completed a successful 5,000
tonne bulk sample at Renard 65 in July 2012.
Diamond recovery of 963 carats with a March 2013
valuation of US$180/ct (with sensitivities of $203 & $169).
It is expected that these results will allow the successful
conversion of Inferred Resources at R65 to Indicated
by end Q2 2013 and subsequently, if warranted, a
Mineral Reserve.
The additional Reserve could be incorporated into the
mine plan in two ways:
1. add 1 year to the LOM and increase the
production rate to 2.5Mt/a or
2. add 3 years to the LOM as a reserve tail at a
production rate of 2.1Mt/a
The cost of developing a 75m deep pit at Renard 65 is
already contained within the Feasibility Study.

An all-season access road connecting Renard to the
Québec Highway network is under construction.
Segments A & B of this road are being constructed by
Québec as a 2-lane highway. Segments C & D are
being constructed by Stornoway as the single lane
“Renard Mine Road”.
To complete this work, Québec has provided
Stornoway up to $85m of debt financing, repayable
upon commercial production at Renard.
Work is proceeding well. All season access to
Renard is on target for Q4 2013.

Notes: The potential quantity and grade of any exploration target (previously referred to as “potential mineral deposit”) is conceptual in nature, and it is uncertain if further exploration
will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. The exploration upside for the Renard kimberlite pipes has been determined by projecting reasonable kimberlite
volumes from the base of the Inferred Resource to a depth of 700m below surface. In the case of the Lynx and Hibou dykes, the exploration upside was established on the basis of
known drill intersections of kimberlite for which insufficient diamond sampling exists to adequately estimate a diamond resource grade.

The Renard Feasibility Study of November 2011 and the January 2013 Optimization Study, consistent with the NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource of
January 2011, utilizes a higher diamond price based on an analysis of diamond breakage and poor plant recovery of the Renard 4 valuation sample,
which is $164/carat. All samples utilize a +0.85mm (+1 DTC) cutoff.

WWW determine “High” and “Minimum” sensitivities on their Base Case diamond price model.
The Feasibility Study and Optimization Study Base Case diamond price of US$182/carat for Renard 2 and 3
and US$164/carat for Renard 4 derives from a value modeling approach that assumes a single diamond size
distribution in the three kimberlites.
An alternative interpretation, that each kimberlite’s diamond population is unique and is correctly represented
by its diamond sample, yields diamond price models of US$208/carat for Renard 2, US$165/carat for Renard
3 and US$112/carat for Renard 4. This “Alternative” diamond price model is highly accretive to the project’s
valuation given the dominance of Renard 2 in the mine plan. The interpretation of similarity in the diamond
populations is the more conservative approach.

Financial Analysis
Renard Diamond Valuation Sensitivities1
Use of the “Alternative” diamond price models are highly accretive to the project’s valuation given the
dominance of Renard 2 in the mine plan. The base case assumption of similarity in the diamond size
distributions between the Renard kimberlite pipes is the more conservative approach.
A real-terms diamond price growth factor of 2.5% per annum has been applied between Q3 2011 and Q4
2025, consistent with well constrained rough diamond supply and demand forecasts and industry best-
practice.
