Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect current expectations or beliefs regarding future events and include, but are notlimited to, statements with respect to: (i) the amount of mineral resources and exploration targets; (ii) the amount of future production over any period; (iii) netpresent value and internal rates of return of the mining operation; (iv) assumptions relating to recovered grade, average ore recovery, internal dilution, miningdilution and other mining parameters set out in the Feasibility Study or Optimization Study; (v) assumptions relating to gross revenues, operating cash flow andother revenue metrics set out in the Feasibility Study or Optimization Study; (vi) mine expansion potential and expected mine life; (vii) expected time frames forcompletion of permitting and regulatory approvals and making a production decision; (viii) future exploration plans; (ix) future market prices for rough diamonds;and (x) 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 andmay be forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are made based upon certain assumptions and other important factors that, if untrue, could cause the actual results, performances orachievements of Stornoway to be materially different from future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Suchstatements and information are based on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business strategies and the environment in which Stornoway willoperate in the future, including the price of diamonds, anticipated costs and Stornoway’s ability to achieve its goals. Certain important factors that could causeactual results, performances or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) required capitalinvestment and estimated workforce requirements; (ii) estimates of net present value and internal rates of return; (iii) receipt of regulatory approvals on acceptableterms within commonly experienced time frames; (iv) anticipated timelines for the commencement of mine production; (v) market prices for rough diamonds andthe potential impact on the Renard Project’s value; and (vi) future exploration plans and objectives. Additional risks are described in Stornoway's most recentlyfiled Annual Information Form, annual and interim MD&As, and other disclosure documents available under the Company’s profile at: www.sedar.com.
When relying on our forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to Stornoway, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factorsand other uncertainties and potential events. Stornoway does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be madefrom time to time by Stornoway or on our behalf, except as required by law.
Readers are referred to the technical report dated as of February 28th, 2013 entitled “The Renard Diamond Project, Québec, Canada, Feasibility Study Update, NI43-101 Technical Report, February 28, 2013” in respect of the January 2013 Optimization Study, and the press release dated July 23, 2013 in respect of the July2013 Mineral Resource estimate for further details and assumptions relating to the project. The Qualified Persons that prepared the technical reports and pressreleases that form the basis for the presentation are listed in the Company’s AIF dated July 29, 2014. Disclosure of a scientific or technical nature in thispresentation has been reviewed and approved by Robin Hopkins, P.Geol. (NT/NU), Vice President, Exploration, a “qualified person” under NI 43-101.

Three Renard 65 diamonds: 9.78 ct and 6.41 ct diamonds recovered from bulk sampling and a 4 carat stone discovered in drillcore in 2003
Base Case Diamond Valuation Estimates Using on Best Practice Methodology
Average diamond price estimate in March 2014 for the Mineral Reserves at US$190/ct (un-escalated) compared to US$180/ct in the January 2013 Optimization Study.
High Quality Production with Large Stone Potential
The Renard kimberlites have similar, but marginally different diamond populations exhibiting a high incidence of large white gems.
Coarse Size Distribution in Renard 2 predicts three to six 50-100ct stones and one to two +100ct stones every 100,000 carats (two weeks).
Substantial revenue potential from large diamonds not accounted for in the base case cash-flow model.

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.

Liquefied Natural Gas Power Plant
The Renard Diamond Project will be powered using Liquid Natural Gas (“LNG”) fuelled gen-sets, with daily supplies of cryogenic LNG from GazMetro in Montreal utilizing the Renard Mine Road.
The Renard LNG plant will comprise seven 2.1MW rated gas gen-sets, providing sufficient power generation capacity for the project’s normal operating specification of 9.5MW.
LNG has significant cost and environmental advantages over traditional diesel powered gen-sets and a Hydro-Quebec power-line option.
Diesel will continue to be used for the mobile mining fleet and construction activities.
41Liquefied Natural Gas Power PlantFeasibility Study Released October 2013
An LNG fuelled powerplant for Renard offers many advantages over diesel:• Greatly reduced annual operating costs of $8m to $10m per year, for a small incremental
capital cost of $2.6m.• Up to 43% less greenhouse gas emissions.• stable supply market utilizing existing commercial distribution network within Québec.• Elimination of on-site propane, as LNG will be used for building and underground mine
