Long Term Business Plan

Stornoway has also developed a Long Term Business Plan (“LTBP”) based on the Project’s total Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources to a depth of 700m.

This material is within the scope of the mine infrastructure costed within the Feasibility Study, and includes:• 6.1 Mcarats of high grade Inferred Mineral

Resources between 600-700 meters depth in Renard 2.

• 3.7 Mcarats of open pittable Inferred Mineral Resources to 290 meters depth in Renard 65

Although highly accretive, the project’s Inferred Mineral Resources are not included in the Feasibility Study economic analysis in accordance with NI 43-101, but do form the basis of the project’s ESIA and mine permitting. Mineral Reserve Included in

Renard 65 Bulk SampleAnnounced July 23rd, 2012.

Existing R65 Pit

A 4 carat, top quality diamond recovered from Renard 65 drillcore

Stornoway will commence the process of converting the project’s Inferred Mineral Resources with a 5,000 tonne bulk sample of the Renard 65 kimberlite, starting in July 2012.

Renard 65 has a good potential to return large diamonds, and it is expected that 1,000 carats will be recovered for valuation.

Ore will be trenched from the northern end of Renard 65 where kimberlite is already exposed at surface. Processing will occur at the 10 tph plant located at the project site, with diamond recovery at Stornoway’s North Vancouver facility.

Conversion of Renard 65 will allow an increase in planned production rate to 7,000 tonnes per day (2.6 Mtonnes/annum) and an extension of the project’s mine life and reserve tail.

Results are expected by year end.

14Renard’s DiamondsValuation Conducted by WWW International Diamond Consultants Ltd. May 8th-13th, 2011

Renard kimberlite pipes have a diamond population with a coarse size distribution and high proportion of large white gems. Lynx and Hibou kimberlite dykes have a finer distribution of browner stones.

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

Coarse size distribution: potential for significant “Specials”, not accounted for in the current resource work. (Three to six 50-100ct stones and one to two +100ct stones every 100,000 carats.)

Implied grade loss through sampling breakage 15%-38%, not accounted for in the current resource work

Page 16: Stornoway Presentation at the 2012 RBC Diamond Conference (w/ Appendix)

16

Road: The Québec Ministry of Transportation “Route 167 Extension”, a new 2-lane gravel highway with a 70km/h speed limit.

Initial road construction cost of $332m will be funded by Québec. Stornoway will contribute $44m amortized over 10 years, starting in 2015. Additional Industry contributions expected.

Road construction commenced January 2012. Vehicle access is expected to be available to the Renard site to commence project construction in 2013.

Power: Separate feasibility study on a 165km 161kV powerline connecting Renard to the Laforge-1 generating station is ongoing.

The powerline would add capital cost to the project ($174m) but offers substantial operating cost savings ($9/tonne).

Stornoway has elected to proceed initially with diesel powered gensets for production startup, and will assess a powerline as a potential phase 2 capital program

“The Declaration of Partnership is part of a new era of economic and social development based on

respect, mutual trust and a shared understanding of the issues of each partner ”

M. Steve Gamache , Mayor of Chapais, July 5 2012

In July 2012 Stornoway concluded a “Declaration of Partnership” with the nerabycommunities of Chapais and Chibougamau.

Chapais and Chibougamau are important regional hubs for civic and mining services.

The Declaration provides for a framework to address issues of mutual interest such as communication, employment, economic diversification, and attracting people to move to the region.

Stornoway’s Project Pipeline and Technical Credentials

As a strategic priority, Stornowaymaintains an active exploration program and technical team based in Vancouver.

Stornoway’s project pipeline comprises both advanced and grassroots projects.

• Internal growth opportunities through the advanced Aviat and Qilalugaq Projects.

• Grassroots discovery potential in Saskatchewan (“Pikoo”) and Québec (“AEON”) based on un-sourced indicator mineral anomalies with diamond potential.

Stornoway considers the maintenance of in-house technical expertise key to the growth of a successful diamond mining business.

Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The potential quantity and grade of any “Target for Further Exploration” (“TFFE”) is conceptual

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

being delineated as a mineral resource.

Almost all rough diamond production forecasts show flat or declining production long term.

Alrosa is an optimistic forecaster, with a 23% increase in carat supply 2010 to 2020. Others (such as RBC below) forecast 15-17% supply growth. Rough production may not 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. New production from projects under development is not expected to materially impact overall supply.

Current rough diamond demand forecasting focusses on the expected expansion of the diamond jewelry markets in Asia.

Asian diamond jewelry demand growth is expected to outpace GDP growth between 2010 and 2020 as the traditions of diamond gifting become established within the growing middle classes.

Alrosa (after Global Insight, October 2011) forecast global diamond jewelry consumption g CAGR of 5.6% a year, reaching $128bn by 2020, helping rough diamond demand to grow by 10.4% on average till 2020 and to reach $40.8bn (from 2010 level of $15.1bn).

33Diamond Price Growth The Impact of Rising Prices on Producer Results and Cutting Centre Liquidity

Long term price growth since 2000 has caused De Beers sales volumes to increase in dollar terms despite a shrinking market share.

De Beers average sales price up +27% 2009-2010 and +29% 2010-2011.

Long term increase in cutting center debt levels to accommodate higher value business with based on disproportionately smaller change in sales volumes.

WWW modeling highlights short term discrepancy between rough and polished diamond pricing, yielding short term price caution and long term optimism

Recent De Beers supply and demand modeling contains no surplus supply prediction, and is closer to the Alrosarough demand 10% CAGR (Nominal) forecast to 2020, but with a more pessimistic supply forecast.

In line with its peers and based on guidance from WWW, Stornowayassumes a 2.5% real price growth factor to 2025 in the the Renard Feasibility Study in the all-equity case valuation and for mine planning purposes.

WWW determine High and Minimum sensitivities on their Base Case diamond price model. WWW state that it is unlikely that an actual diamond price achieved for each kimberlite body upon production would fall below the “Minimum” sensitivity, but it is possible that the actual diamond price achieved may be higher than the “High” sensitivity, which is not a maximum price.

The Feasibility Study Base Case diamond price of US$182/carat for Renard 2 and 3 and US$164/carat for Renard 4 derives from a value modeling approach that assumes a single diamond size distribution in the three kimberlites.

An alternative interpretation, that each kimberlite’s diamond population is unique and is correctly represented by its diamond sample, yields diamond price models of US$208/carat for Renard 2, US$165/carat for Renard3 and US$112/carat for Renard 4.

Financial AnalysisRenard Diamond Valuation Sensitivities

Page 43: Stornoway Presentation at the 2012 RBC Diamond Conference (w/ Appendix)

43

This “Alternative” diamond price model is highly accretive to the project’s valuation given the dominance of Renard 2 in the mine plan. The interpretation of similarity in the diamond populations is the more conservative approach.

A real-terms diamond price growth factor of 2.5% per annum has been applied between 2012 and 2025. This is consistent with well constrained rough diamond supply and demand forecasts and industry best-practice. WWW have advised that Stornoway’s assumptions on diamond price and diamond price growth are “reasonable in the context of the overall supply and demand environment” of the diamond industry. The project shows strong sensitivity to future diamond price growth.

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 kimberlitevolumes 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.

Processed Kimberlite Containment

PKC site selection was based on acomprehensive evaluation of 5 sites.

Geochemical characterisation of Processed Kimberlite (“PK”) and country rock waste indicates minimal metal leach potential and no acid generation.

PKC facility will be a dry stacked facility with no requirement for a liner.

PKC facility can accommodate all current Indicated and Inferred Resources (44.3 Mt).

Waste rock can be used as construction aggregate.

PK will be de-watered by centrifuge and trucked to the PKC site. PKC is an engineered facility requiring compaction of berms and placement of erosion barriers. The PK deposition plan allows for progressive rehabilitation and re-vegetation.

No fish habitat will be impacted by PK disposal.

Closure Plan

Before

After

Stornoway acknowledges that it is only a temporaryuser of land that will be returned to its traditionalusers at the end of mine life. In this context, projectdesign has prioritized minimal environmentalfootprint and progressive rehabilitation.

Buildings have been designed and materialsselected to facilitate dismantling, recycling and sitere-vegetation at the end of the mine life.

Mine planning ensures that all waste rock will beused for construction, backfill of the undergroundmine. Open-pits will be flooded to create new fishhabitats.

PKC facility has been designed to ensureprogressive re-vegetation and ease of maintenanceduring operations.

Benches will be progressively rehabilitated.

Airstrip will either be rehabilitated or vested toauthorities to become a regional infrastructure.

Post-closure environmental monitoring program willbe implemented.
