Forward-Looking Information
This presentation contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation. This information and these statements, referred to herein as “forward-lookingstatements”, are made as of the date of this presentation and the Corporation does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except asrequired by law. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions.Although management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect.
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 withrespect to: (i) the amount of Mineral Reserves, Mineral Resources and exploration targets; (ii) the amount of future production over any period; (iii) assumptions relating to recovered grade,average ore recovery, internal dilution, mining dilution and other mining parameters set out in the March 2016 Updated Renard Mine Plan and Mineral Reserve Estimate ; (iv) assumptionsrelating to gross revenues, operating cash flow and other revenue metrics set out in the 2016 Updated Renard Mine Plan and Mineral Reserve Estimate; (v) mine expansion potential andexpected mine life; (vi) the expected time frames for the completion of construction, start of mining and commercial production at the Renard Diamond Project and the financial obligations orcosts incurred by Stornoway in connection with such mine development; (vii) the expected time frames for the completion of the open pit and underground mine at the Renard DiamondProject; (viii) future market prices for rough diamonds; and (ix) future market prices for liquefied natural gas and diesel. All statements, other than statements of historical fact regardingStornoway or the Renard Diamond Project, are forward-looking statements. 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”, “schedule” or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or beachieved, 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 by Stornoway or its consultants and other important factors that, if untrue, could cause the actual results, performancesor achievements of Stornoway to be materially different from future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Such statements and information arebased on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business prospects and strategies and the environment in which Stornoway will operate in the future, including the price ofdiamonds, anticipated costs and Stornoway’s ability to achieve its goals, regulatory developments, development plans, exploration, development and mining activities and commitments.Although management considers its assumptions on such matters to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect. Certain importantassumptions by Stornoway or its consultants in making forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) required capital investment; (ii) the amount of future production over anyperiod; (iii) assumptions relating to recovered grade, average ore recovery, internal dilution, mining dilution and other mining parameters set out in the March 2016 Updated Renard Mine Planand Mineral Reserve Estimate ; (iv) assumptions relating to gross revenues, operating cash flow and other revenue metrics set out in the 2016 Updated Renard Mine Plan and MineralReserve Estimate ; (v) estimates of net present value; (vi) anticipated timelines for completion of construction, commencement of mine production and development of an open pit andunderground mine at the Renard Diamond Project, (vii) anticipated geological formations; (viii) Stornoway’s interpretation of the geological drill data collected and its potential impact on statedMineral Resources, Mineral Reserves, and mine life; and (ix) Stornoway’s ability to draw on the financing elements of the Renard Diamond Project Financing Transactions closed on July 8th,2014.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that estimates, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved or that assumptions do not reflect future experience. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these forward- looking statements as a numberof important risk factors could cause the actual outcomes to differ materially from the beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates, assumptions and intentions expressed insuch forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be generally stated as the risk that the assumptions and estimates expressed above do not occur, including the assumption in manyforward-looking statements that other forward-looking statements will be correct, but specifically include, without limitation: (i) risks relating to variations in the grade, kimberlite lithologies andcountry rock content within the material identified as Mineral Resources from that predicted; (ii) variations in rates of recovery and breakage; (iii) changes in development or mining plans dueto changes in other factors or exploration results; (iv) slower increases in diamond valuations than assumed; (v) risks relating to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar and other currencies relativeto the US dollar; (vi) increases in the costs of proposed capital and operating expenditures; (vii) increases in financing costs or adverse changes to the terms of available financing, if any; (viii)tax rates or royalties being greater than assumed; (ix) risks relating to the receipt of regulatory approvals; and (x) the additional risks described in Stornoway's most recently filed AnnualInformation Form, annual and interim MD&A and Stornoway's anticipation of and success in managing the foregoing risks. Stornoway cautions that the foregoing list of factors that may affectfuture results is not exhaustive, and new, unforeseeable risks may arise from time to time.

Notes
1. As determined WWW International Diamond Consultants Ltd. at a +1 DTC sieve size cut off.2. As determined by applying the world average rough price index of roughrices.com to the March 2014 price models, at a +1 DTC sieve size cut-off. 3. Should the Renard 4 diamond population prove to have a size distribution equal to the average of Renard 2 and 3, WWW have estimated that a
base case diamond price model of US$155 per carat would apply based on March 2014 pricing, equivalent to US$126 per carat on a market price adjusted basis to March 2016.

million was used for civil works related to the airstrip. Costs related to the airstrip were included in the $775 million capital expenditures line in the table above.2. Assuming a C$:US$ conversion rate of C$1.353. Cost Overrun Facility includes the $20 million Senior Loan Facility, Tranche B and the $28 million Cost Overrun Facility with the CDPQ4. This forecast assumes a project cost of $775 million (which includes assumed levels of escalation and contingencies), the satisfaction of all covenants and
conditions precedent for future funding, and a CAD$:US$ exchange rate of $1.35 for unfunded US dollar denominated financing commitments. As construction of the Renard Diamond Project progresses, this forecast is expected to change quarter to quarter based on the timing of expenditures and receipts, volatility in the CAD$:US$ exchange rate, and any change to the forecast cost of the project..
