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.

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.

31

The Project is a temporary user of land that will be

returned to its traditional users at the end of mine

life. Project design has therefore prioritized

minimal environmental footprint and progressive

rehabilitation.

The Renard Project occupies just 3.1km2 within a

single watershed.

All water in contact with mining materials will be

collected and treated prior to release.

Geochemical characterisation of Processed

Kimberlite and country rock waste indicates

minimal metal leach potential and no acid

generation.

Buildings have been designed and materials

selected to facilitate dismantling, recycling and re-

vegetation at the end of the mine life.

First part of $15.2 financial guarantee for site

rehabilitation and closure costs provided to the

Ministre de l’Énergie et des Ressources naturelles

on August 29th 2014.

In March 2012 Stornoway concluded the “Mecheshoo Agreement”

with the Cree Nation of Mistissini and the Grand Council of the

Crees (EI).

The “Mecheshoo Agreement” provides for employment and

business opportunities, the Crees, fosters cultural, environmental

and social protection, and provides for the Crees’ participation in

the project’s long term financial success.

In July 2012 Stornoway concluded a “Declaration of Partnership”

with the communities of Chapais and Chibougamau.

The Declaration of Partnership provides a framework to address

issues of mutual interest such as communication, employment and

economic diversification.

A tracking of the diamond market since the publication of the November 2011 FS and January 2013 Opt.

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).

Notable Exploration Properties and Joint Ventures

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 is conceptual in

nature, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being

delineated as a mineral resource.
