Comments on Stornoway’s Project Financing

The Renard Project is Ready to Build

Final Project Financing is the Last Remaining Challenge Before Construction can Begin

Despite very difficult market conditions, in the past 18 months Stornoway has successfully arranged up to

$144m of financing ($124m debt, $20m equity) for road and airport construction, permitting, design optimization

work, engineering and financing costs.

The timely completion of final mine project financing, and its impact on project schedule, is the principal risk

Stornoway currently faces.

Project financing discussions with lenders and prospective investors are ongoing and progressing well.

Stornoway is Fully Focused on the Timely Completion of Final Project Financing

Page 6: Swy 2013 AGM Presentation

Why does the Renard Project Stand Out from the Pack?

Renard will have a high margin with high cash flow: it is a major new project.

Renard has strong social acceptability.

Renard is in one of the world’s safest jurisdictions for mining investment (still).

Renard will be the first Canadian diamond mine with an all-season road.

Renard has enough resource upside for potentially decades of mining.

Renard is owned 100% by Stornoway: our partners are our shareholders and in our communities.

Diamonds are an essential part of our culture, and very difficult to find.

What Other Mining Project Offers all of these Advantages to Investors?

Segments C & DStornoway

97km of Mine Road (50km/hr)

Segments A & BMin. of Transport

143km of Regional Highway (70km/hr)

Construction of an all-season access road connecting Renard to the Québec highway network began in February 2012.

Under the terms of a November 2012 agreement between Stornoway and Québec, segments A & B (143 km) are being constructed by the Ministry of Transport as the 2-lane “Route 167 Extension” and segments C & D (97 km) are being constructed by Stornoway as the single lane “Renard Mine Road”.

Under the terms of a December 2012 financing agreement, Québec has provided Stornoway financing facilities of up to $85m to complete its work, repayable upon commercial production at Renard.

On September 3rd 2013 Stornoway announced that all 4 segments have been connected and the road had opened to construction traffic, 2 months ahead of schedule.

Stornoway forecasts the cost to complete the Renard Mine Road at $70 million, approximately 10% below base budget.

Bridges

Stornoway is constructing 16 bridges on the Renard Mine Road.

Temporary bridges were first installed on all river crossings by April 2013. As of October 2013, 12 of 16 permanent bridges have been installed.

All bridges are fabricated from locally harvested, engineered wood and supplied by Nordic Structures Bois, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chantiers Chibougamau Ltée.

Regulatory and Fiscal Regime in Québec Settled

The last 12 months has seen proposed changes to the Québec’s system of mining taxes and royalties, and mine closure bonds.

Stornoway participated in the Government of Québec’s consultation process and, although impacted by these changes, welcomes the balanced approach that has been taken.

Québec remains a leading destination for mining investment, and we look forward to developing Renard at a time of regulatory and fiscal certainty.

For mine planning, Stornoway assumes the new hybrid fiscal regime, being the greater of the “Minimum Mining Tax” or “Progressive Mining Tax”

Stornoway does not anticipate a major impact on the Renard Project from the new Mining Act still under assessment in the Québec National Assembly.

Québec remains one of the world’s leading mining jurisdictions offering :• Regulatory Stability• Institutional Support• Expertise• Infrastructure

28The Renard Optimization StudyReleased January 2013

Accommodation Complex

Process and Power Plants

Since the release of the Renard Feasiblity Study in November 2011, Stornoway has sought improvements in the project’s cost and operating parameters.

The Renard Optimization Study was released in January 2013, and included:• A reduced initial capital cost, principally

through deferral of the shaft.• Increased project NPV and IRR.• Maintained high operating margin.• A refined underground mining sequence

and draw point design.

Additional design optimization and engineering work is ongoing in partnership with a joint venture made up of SNC-Lavalin Inc. and AMEC Americas Ltd. under an interim agreement pending completion of the project’s EPCM contract at time of project financing.

Page 29: Swy 2013 AGM Presentation

29Liquefied Natural Gas Power PlantFeasibility Study Released October 2013

With a view to project optimization, Stornoway has been investigating more cost efficient alternatives for on-site power supply than traditional diesel fuelled gen-sets.

A Hydro-Quebec powerline has been ruled out in the short term due to high cap-ex cost.

On October 21st Stornoway announced it will proceed with an LNG fuelled gen-set option, made possible by the ability to receive regular cryogenic LNG shipments on 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.

Page 30: Swy 2013 AGM Presentation

30Liquefied 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.• Long term, stable supply market utilizing existing commercial distribution network within Quebec.• Elimination of on-site propane, as LNG will be used for building and underground mine heating.

Diesel will continue to be used for the mobile mining fleet and construction activities

In July 2013 Stornoway release the results of a revised

Mineral Resource Statement with a 14% increase in contained carats within the Indicated Resource category.

This followed the successful completion of a 5,000 tonne bulk sample at Renard 65 in 2012 and the recovery of 997 carats of diamonds for valuation.

The Renard 65 bulk sample returned the highest value diamonds to date at the Renard Project, with a March 2013 valuation of US$250/ct, giving a base model of US$180/ct (sensitivities of $203 & $169).

Upon conversion to a Mineral Reserve, this material may 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.

Notes: 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. Mineral reserves are not a sub-set of mineral resources.

Renard’s Inferred Resources and TFFE represent a potential increase over the current Indicated Resource

of 160% to 240%.

34Renard’s DiamondsRecent Valuation Conducted by WWW International Diamond Consultants Ltd. March 2013

The Renard kimberlite pipes have similar, but marginally different diamond populations exhibiting coarse size distributions and with high proportions of large white gems.

99% by weight gem/near-gem quality. 1% industrial quality boart.

Significant value upside in large gems. Diamonds larger than 10.8ct, “Specials”) estimated at three to six 50-100ct stones and one to two +100ct stones every 100,000 carats (two weeks). Not accounted for in the revenue model.

Stornoway most recently valued the Renard diamond samples with WWW International Diamond Consultants Ltd. in March 2013.

May 2011 Valuation utilized in the FS based

on the average of 5 diamantaires c.10%

below the WWW rough index price

A tracking of the diamond market since the publication of the November 2011 FS indicates rough diamond prices have generally remained within the bounds of sensitivities contained within the FS financial model (May 2011 spot prices and a 2.5% real terms annual price escalator).
