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.

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

Road segments A & B (143 km) constructed by Québec as a 2-lane highway. Segments C & D (97 km) constructed by Stornoway as the single lane “Renard Mine Road”.

All 4 segments were connected and opened for mine construction traffic on August 30th 2013, 2 months ahead of schedule and approximately 10% below budget.

To complete this work, Québec provided Stornoway $77m of debt financing, repayable upon commercial production at Renard.

Stornoway has been able to apply $7m of debt savings to complete the civil works for the Renard Mine Airport.

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.

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.

Project Cash Operating Margin (Reserve Case, Nominal Terms)

The Renard Diamond Project is ideally suited for a streaming arrangement: the project has a high operating margin and its capital requirements are front-ended.

The proposed stream-debt-equity financing structure minimizes shareholder dilution and is accretive to Stornoway’s NAV per share.

US$250m for a 20% stream represents 34% of the Renard Diamond Project’s initial capital cost and 29% of the overall financing plan.

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.

34Liquefied Natural Gas Power Plant Feasibility 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-Québec powerline has been ruled out in the short term due to high cap-ex cost.

On October 21st 2013 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 35: Stornoway Corporate Presentation August 2014

35Liquefied 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 Québec.• 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

De Beers Production Forecast Rio Tinto Production Forecast

Almost all rough diamond production forecasts show flat or declining production long term. De Beers see production peaking in 2017, and broad reserve depletion thereafter.

Rough production is not expected to reach 2008 levels in carat terms again.

No large scale diamond mine has been discovered since the discovery of EKATI and Diavik in the early 1990s. The movement to underground mining in Russia, South Africa and Canada will lower overall industry margins.

Rough Diamond Supply

Diamond Market OutlookCompelling Supply and Demand Fundamentals

Rough Diamond Demand

Rough diamond supply forecasting is robust given the small number of diamond producers worldwide and the difficulty in finding and bringing to production new deposits. Consensus is for a modest increase in supply to 2018 and a decline in supply thereafter.

Demand growth forecasting is based upon applying regional diamond consumption habits to GDP growth forecasts.

The August 2013 report issued by Bain & Co and the Antwerp World Diamonds Center forecasts a rough diamond supply CAGR of 2.0% and a rough diamond demand CAGR of 5.1%.

The January 2013 Optimization Study contains a real diamond price CAGR of 2.5%, consistent with consensus forecasts.

The actual rough diamond price CAGR has been 9.2% between October 2003 and Aug 2014 in nominal terms.
