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-looking statements”, 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 as required 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 tobe 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 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 internalrates of return of the mining operation; (iv) assumptions relating to recovered grade, average ore recovery, internal dilution, mining dilution and other mining parameters set outin the 2011 Feasibility Study or the Optimization Study; (v) assumptions relating to gross revenues, operating cash flow and other revenue metrics set out in the 2011Feasibility Study or the Optimization Study; (vi) mine expansion potential and expected mine life; (vii) expected time frames for completion of permitting and regulatoryapprovals related to construction activities at the Renard Diamond Project; (viii) the expected time frames for the completion of the open pit and underground mine at theRenard Diamond Project; (ix) the expected time frames for the completion of construction, start of mining and commercial production at the Renard Diamond Project and thefinancial obligations or costs incurred by Stornoway in connection with such mine development; (x) future exploration plans; (xi) future market prices for rough diamonds; (xii)the economic benefits of using liquefied natural gas rather than diesel for power generation; (xiii) sources of and anticipated financing requirements; (xiv) the effectiveness,funding or availability, as the case may require, of the Stream, the Senior Secured Loan, the COF and the Equipment Facility and the use of proceeds therefrom; (xv) theCorporation’s expectations regarding receipt of the remaining deposits under the Stream and its ability to meet its delivery obligations thereunder; (xvi) the impact of theFinancing Transactions on the Corporation’s operations, infrastructure, opportunities, financial condition, access to capital and overall strategy; (xvii) the foreign exchange ratebetween the US dollar and the Canadian dollar; and (xviii) the availability of excess funding for the construction and operation of the Renard Diamond Project. Any statementsthat express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but notalways, using words or phrases such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “projects”, “estimates”, “assumes”, “intends”, “strategy”, “goals”, “objectives”, “schedule” or variationsthereof 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 similarexpressions) 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 actualresults, 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 prospects and strategies and the environment in whichStornoway will operate in the future, including the price of diamonds, anticipated costs and Stornoway’s ability to achieve its goals, anticipated financial performance, regulatorydevelopments, development plans, exploration, development and mining activities and commitments, and the foreign exchange rate between the US and Canadian dollars.Although management considers its assumptions on such matters to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect. Certainimportant assumptions by Stornoway or its consultants in making forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) required capital investment and estimatedworkforce requirements; (ii) estimates of net present value and internal rates of return; (iii) anticipated timelines for completion of construction, commencement of mineproduction and development of an open pit and underground mine at the Renard Diamond Project, which heavily depend, among other things, on adequate availability andperformance of skilled labour, engineering and construction personnel, performance of mining and construction equipment and timely delivery of components; (iv) anticipatedgeological formations; (v) market prices for rough diamonds and the potential impact on the Renard Diamond Project; (vi) the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions under eachof the Stream, the Senior Secured Loan, the COF and the Equipment Facility to allow the Corporation to draw on the funding available under those financing elements for thecompletion of the development and construction of the Renard Diamond Project; (vii) Stornoway’s interpretation of the geological drill data collected and its potential impact onstated Mineral Resources and mine life; (viii) future exploration plans and objectives; (ix) the receipt of the remaining deposits under the Stream and the Corporation’s ability tomeet its delivery obligations thereunder; and (x) the continued strength of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar. Additional risks are described in Stornoway's most recentlyfiled Annual Information Form, annual and interim MD&A, and other disclosure documents available under the Corporation’s profile at: www.sedar.com.

Forward-Looking Information (contd)

The RenardDiamond Project, September 16, 2015

By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that estimates, forecasts, projections andother 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 number of important risk factors could cause the actual outcomes to differ materially from the beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations,estimates, assumptions and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be generally stated as the risk that the assumptions andestimates expressed above do not occur, including the assumption in many forward-looking statements that other forward-looking statements will be correct. Stornowayinvites the reader to take note of the risk and uncertainties set out in the most recently filed Annual Information Form, annual and interim MD&A and other disclosuredocuments available under the Corporation’s profile at: www.sedar.com and cautions the reader that the list of risk and uncertainties set out in these disclosure documents ofthe Corporation and that may affect future results is not exhaustive, and new, unforeseeable risks may arise from time to time.

Notes1. The total amount borrowed pursuant to the Renard Mine Road loan was $77 million, of which $70 million was used for construction of the Renard Mine Road and $7 million was used

for civil works related to the airstrip. Costs related to the airstrip were included in the $811 million capital expenditures line in the table above.2. On September 30, 2015, Stornoway received the second tranche of US$80m of stream funding, which was subsequently converted to C$ at an exchange rate of $1.336, representing

a cash gain of C$18.9 million compared to the July 2014 funding plan, which assumed a C$:US$ exchange rate of $1.10. 3. Cost Overrun Facility includes the $20 million Senior Loan Facility, Tranche B and the $28 million Cost Overrun Facility with the CDPQ4. Assuming a C$:US$ conversion rate of C$1.255. This forecast assumes a project cost of $811 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 $1.25 for unfunded US dollar denominated financing commitments.

In 2014, C$4.8 billion was raised in the mining sector through new public equity offerings, including Stornoway’s July 2014 transaction.

The vast majority was within the gold sector, followed by the diversified and diamond sectors (including Stornoway’s July 2014 transaction).

Excluding 2 large transactions in 2015 (Silver Wheaton; $1.0 billion, First Quantum; $1.4 billion), financings in 2015 are tracking lower than 2014.

The focus of 2015-YTD has been silver, representing 35.0% of mining dollars raised.

Diamond financings in 2015-YTD have been a much smaller proportion of new equity issuances over 2014.

No improvement in the equity capital markets for public resource issuers is expected in 2015.

The Mecheshoo Agreement, March 2012

Renard’s Social LicenceWorking with Stakeholders

The Declaration of Partnership, July 2012

Environmental Exchange Group, 2011

The design of the project, and the December 2011 Environmental and Social Impact Assessment, was developed in conjunction with an environmental Exchange Group that met during the course of 2011 in Mistissini.

The Renard Project has been designed to minimize impact on local water quality and fish habitat, the principal concern of the Crees. The project has been “built to close”, and reclamation liabilities have been bonded 100% with the MERN

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.

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.

34Innovation at RenardLiquefied Natural Gas Power Plant

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.

LNG has significant advantages over traditional diesel powered gen-sets. Operating costs are estimated to be $8-$10m less annually, for an incremental capital cost of $2.6m, with 42% less greenhouse gas emissions.

LNG will be purchased from Gaz-Metro in Montreal, with deliveries of three tankers per day by road.

Diesel will continue to be used for the mobile mining fleet and construction activities.

Renard will be one of the first LNG powered mines in Canada, made

possible by road access

Stornoway will sell 100% of the Renard diamond production by tender sale in Antwerp. 10 times a year, every 5 weeks. This will create a “Stornoway Sales Week” in the diamond market.

To this end, Stornoway’s wholly owned subsidiary FCDC Sales and Marketing has entered into a sales and marketing agreement with the well known diamond industry broker and rough distributor Bonas-Couzyn, which will act as sales commissionaire and tender agent for arm's length market sales.

Sales of diamonds under the Renard Streaming Agreement will be undertaken by Bonas-Couzyn, on an undivided basis, on behalf of FCDC and the Streamers

Other than under exceptional circumstances, Stornoway will sell 100% of what it produces, will not carry a stockpile outside of normal goods-in-progress, and will be a market price taker.

Stornoway’s Diamond Sales

As a miner, Stornoway will focus on mine production and cost efficiency. Diamond sales will

be by arm's length tender sales in Antwerp, 10 times a year. Stornoway will support the Québec or

Canadian brand identification initiatives of its clients through chain of custody certification.
