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 recovered grade, average ore recovery, internal dilution, mining

dilution and other mining parameters set out in the Feasibility Study or Optimization Study; (v) assumptions relating to gross revenues, operating cash flow and

other revenue metrics set out in the Feasibility Study or Optimization Study; (vi) mine expansion potential and expected mine life; (vii) expected time frames for

completion 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 and

may 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 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 Stornoway’s ability to achieve its 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) required capital

investment and estimated workforce requirements; (ii) estimates of net present value and internal rates of return; (iii) receipt of regulatory approvals on acceptable

terms within commonly experienced time frames; (iv) anticipated timelines for the commencement of mine production; (v) market prices for rough diamonds and

the potential impact on the Renard Project’s value; and (vi) future exploration plans and objectives. Additional risks are described in Stornoway's most recently

filed 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 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.

Readers are referred to the technical report dated as of February 28th, 2013 entitled “The Renard Diamond Project, Québec, Canada, Feasibility Study Update, NI

43-101 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 July

2013 Mineral Resource estimate for further details and assumptions relating to the project. The Qualified Persons that prepared the technical reports and press

releases 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 this

presentation has been reviewed and approved by Robin Hopkins, P.Geol. (NT/NU), Vice President, Exploration, a “qualified person” under NI 43-101.

Why Stornoway? Renard’s Cash Flow PotentialBased on Base Case Economics

Renard is Expected to Generate Substantial Cash Flow

over its first 11 years of Mining

After Tax, After Stream Operating Cash Flow of between

$150 and $250 million, or $0.20 to $0.30 per share

Assumptions

Mineral reserve case only

Capital and operating cost parameters as established in the January 2013 Optimization Study

and October 2013 LNG FS

Base case diamond pricing from March 2014; No “special” diamonds.

2.5% annual real diamond price escalation

C$:US$ conversion rate of C$1.10

Based on terms of Financing Transaction closed on July 8th 2014

Assumes full conversion to equity of US$81million of Convertible

Debentures giving 825 million shares outstanding.

Significant Upside Potential from Resource,

Large Diamonds and Processing Capacity

Grades illustrated are for Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources respectively at a +1DTC sieve

size cut-off. 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.

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.

41

Liquefied 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

heating
