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.
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.
