Forward Looking InformationThis presentation contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation. This information and these statements, referred to herein as “forward-looking statements”, are made as of the date of this presentation and the Corporation does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions. Although management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect.
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 Reserves, Mineral Resources and exploration targets; (ii) the amount of future production over any period; (iii) assumptions relating to recovered grade, average ore recovery, internal dilution, mining dilution and other mining parameters set out in the March 2016 Updated Renard Mine Plan and Mineral Reserve Estimate; (iv) assumptions relating to gross revenues, operating cash flow and other revenue metrics set out in the 2016 Updated Renard Mine Plan and Mineral Reserve Estimate; (v) mine expansion potential and expected mine life; (vi) the expected time frames for the completion of construction, start of mining and commercial production at the Renard Diamond Project and the financial obligations or costs incurred by Stornoway in connection with such mine development; (vii) the expected time frames for the completion of the open pit and underground mine at the Renard Diamond Project; (viii) future market prices for rough diamonds; and (ix) future market prices for liquefied natural gas and diesel. All statements, other than statements of historical fact regarding Stornoway or the Renard Diamond Project, are forward-looking statements. 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”, “schedule” 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 prospects and strategies and the environment in which Stornoway will operate in the future, including the price of diamonds, anticipated costs and Stornoway’s ability to achieve its goals, regulatory developments, development plans, exploration, development and mining activities and commitments. Although management considers its assumptions on such matters to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect. Certain important assumptions by Stornoway or its consultants in making forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) required capital investment; (ii) the amount of future production over any period; (iii) assumptions relating to recovered grade, average ore recovery, internal dilution, mining dilution and other mining parameters set out in the March 2016 Updated Renard Mine Plan and Mineral Reserve Estimate ; (iv) assumptions relating to gross revenues, operating cash flow and other revenue metrics set out in the 2016 Updated Renard Mine Plan and Mineral Reserve Estimate ; (v) estimates of net present value; (vi) anticipated timelines for completion of construction, commencement of mine production and development of an open pit and underground mine at the Renard Diamond Project, (vii) anticipated geological formations; (viii) Stornoway’s interpretation of the geological drill data collected and its potential impact on stated Mineral Resources, Mineral Reserves, and mine life; and (ix) Stornoway’s ability to draw on the financing elements of the Renard Diamond Project Financing Transactions closed on July 8th, 2014.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that estimates, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved or that assumptions do not reflect future experience. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these forward- looking statements as a number of important risk factors could cause the actual outcomes to differ materially from the beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates, assumptions and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be generally stated as the risk that the assumptions and estimates expressed above do not occur, including the assumption in many forward-looking statements that other forward-looking statements will be correct, but specifically include, without limitation: (i) risks relating to variations in the grade, kimberlite lithologies and country rock content within the material identified as Mineral Resources from that predicted; (ii) variations in rates of recovery and breakage; (iii) changes in development or mining plans due to changes in other factors or exploration results; (iv) slower increases in diamond valuations than assumed; (v) risks relating to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar and other currencies relative to the US dollar; (vi) increases in the costs of proposed capital and operating expenditures; (vii) increases in financing costs or adverse changes to the terms of available financing, if any; (viii) tax rates or royalties being greater than assumed; (ix) risks relating to the receipt of regulatory approvals; and (x) the additional risks described in Stornoway's most recently filed Annual Information Form, annual and interim MD&A and Stornoway's anticipation of and success in managing the foregoing risks. Stornoway cautions that the foregoing list of factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive, and new, unforeseeable risks may arise from time to time.
Readers are referred to the technical report dated as of March 30, 2016 entitled “Updated Renard Diamond Project Mine Plan and Mineral Reserve Estimate, Québec, Canada” in respect of the March 2016 Updated Mine Plan and Mineral Reserve Estimate, and the technical report dated January 11, 2016 and press release dated September 24, 2015 in respect of the September 2015 Mineral Resource estimate for further details and assumptions relating to the project.

Notes1. Estimated average price per carat of the Mineral Reserve in Renards 2, 3, 4 & 65 expressed in March 2016 terms. 2. Expressed in nominal terms, and excluding Renard Mine Road capital of $69.4 million. Initial Capital Cost in the January 2013 Optimization Study was estimated at $793 million based on $752 million of cost and contingency plus $41 million escalation allowance. In April 2014,
prior to the commencement of construction, Initial Capital was estimated at $811 million based on $754 million of cost and contingency plus $57 million of escalation. The estimate of $775 million of Initial Capital in the March 2016 Updated Mine Plan includes all costs, contingencies and escalation allowances and represents a reduction of $36 million on the April 2014 estimate.
3. Expressed in real terms.4. Expressed in real terms. Assumes a 2.5% escalation in diamond prices between 2016 and 2017 and a US$ exchange rate of C$1.355. Net of all royalties, costs incurred under the Mecheshoo Agreement (IBA) and the effective revenue impairment associated with the Renard diamond streaming agreement. For further information see the Stornoway AIF dated March 30, 2016.6. After tax.
Reserve and Resource categories are compliant with the "CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves". Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The potential quantity and grade of any Exploration Target (previously referred to as a “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.

CommunitiesStornoway is committed to fostering a positive relationship with its communities.
In addition to employment and business development opportunities, Stornoway aims to foster educational and training development in youth, respect for traditional activities, two-way communication with community representatives on project impacts, and support for local charitable organisations.
Stornoway undertakes regular communication with our employees at site, and communicates more formally through community committees such as the Renard Committee, the Environment Committee, the Training & Employment Committee, and the Comité de Liaison Renard.
Our annual Sustainable Development Report is delivered to each household in the region.
Stornoway’s commitments are laid out in our 2012 Mecheshoo Agreement with the Cree Nation of Mistissini and the Grand Council of the Crees (EI), and our 2012 Declaration of Partnership with Chibougamau and Chapais.

Resource Reconciliation
Step 1: Reconcile actual pipe geology with geological model (Successful example from Renard 3 on 490m level shown opposite)
Step 2: Reconcile grade (to come upon processing start-up)
Step 3: Reconcile size distribution and plant recovery characteristics (to come upon processing start-up)
Step 4: Reconcile quality assortment and value (to come upon sorting and sale)

Large Diamonds at Renard
The Renard Diamond Process Plant will be the first plant in the world to have LDR capacity in the primary flow sheet.
Large Diamond Recovery (“LDR”) through TOMRA XRT.
High Quality Production with Large Stone PotentialDistribution in Renard 2 predicts three to six 50-100ct stones and one to two +100ct stones every 100,000 carats.
Base Case Diamond Valuation Estimates Using on Best Practice Methodology
Average diamond price estimate in March 2016 for the Mineral Reserves at US$155/ct (un-escalated).
Substantial revenue potential from large diamonds not accounted for in the base case cash-flow model.

Diamond Sales
Stornoway will sell 100% of the Renard diamond production by tender sale in Antwerp on an undivided basis.
Stornoway has engaged well known diamond industry broker and rough distributor Bonas-Couzyn as sales commissionaire and tender agent for arm's length market sales.
Other than under exceptional circumstances, Stornoway will sell 100% of what it produces, will not carry a stockpile outside of normal goods-in-progress, and will be a market price taker.
Stornoway will support the Québec or Canadian brand identification initiatives of its clients through chain of custody certification.
First sales are expected in January 2017.

Exploration & AdamantinStornoway maintains an active diamond exploration team and conducts 100% owned generative programs.
Recent drilling at Adamantin Project returned kimberlite in 18 of 78 holes testing 72 geophysical targets interpreted as 11 discrete kimberlite bodies.
Intersections of undiluted (100%) HK up to 13.7m and mixed HK/country rock up to 22.9m.
AD50/51/52 interpreted as one body dipping 5-10 degrees with a true thickness of 10m, over a 260m strike extent, open, 6-12m below surface (illustrated).
Sampled for diamond content. One diamond recovered in till in 2015 sampling.
