Forward Looking Information
2
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 ofthe 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. Capitalized terms in these FLS nototherwise defined in this presentation have the meaning attributed thereto in the most recently filed AIF of the Corporation.
These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements with respect to Stornoway’s objectives for the ensuing year, our medium and long-term goals, and strategies to achieve those objectives and goals,as well as statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions. Although management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on informationcurrently 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 with respect to: (i) the amountof Mineral Reserves, 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 torecovered grade, size distribution and quality of diamonds, average ore recovery, internal dilution, mining dilution and other mining parameters set out in the 2016 Technical Report as well as levels of diamond breakage;(v) assumptions relating to gross revenues, cost of sales, cash cost of production, gross margins estimates, planned and projected capital expenditure, liquidity and working capital requirements; (vi) mine expansionpotential and expected mine life; (vii) the expected time frames for the ramp-up and achievement of plant nameplate capacity of the Renard Diamond Mine (viii) the expected financial obligations or costs incurred byStornoway in connection with the ongoing development of the Renard Diamond Mine; (ix) future market prices for rough diamonds; (x) sources of and anticipated financing requirements; (xi) the effectiveness, funding oravailability, as the case may require, of the Senior Secured Loan and the remaining Equipment Facility and the use of proceeds therefrom; (xii) the Corporation’s ability to meet its Subject Diamonds Interest deliveryobligations under the Purchase and Sale Agreement; and (xiii) the foreign exchange rate between the US dollar and the Canadian dollar. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions,expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance 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, performances or achievements ofStornoway 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 presentand future business prospects and strategies and the environment in which Stornoway will operate in the future, including the recovered grade, size distribution and quality of diamonds, average ore recovery, internaldilution, and levels of diamond breakage, the price of diamonds, anticipated costs and Stornoway’s ability to achieve its goals, anticipated financial performance. Although management considers its assumptions on suchmatters to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect. Certain important assumptions by Stornoway or its consultants in making forward-looking statements include, butare not limited to: (i) required capital investment (ii) estimates of net present value and internal rates of return; (iii) recovered grade, size distribution and quality of diamonds, average ore recovery, internal dilution,mining dilution and other mining parameters set out in the 2016 Technical Report as well as levels of diamond breakage, (iv) anticipated timelines for ramp-up and achievement of nameplate capacity at the RenardDiamond Mine, (v) anticipated timelines for the development of an open pit and underground mine at the Renard Diamond Mine; (vi) anticipated geological formations; (vii) market prices for rough diamonds and theirpotential impact on the Renard Diamond Mine; and (viii) the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions under the Senior Secured Loan and the remaining Equipment Facility to allow the Corporation to draw on the fundingavailable under those financing elements.
Forward Looking Information (continued)
3
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 beachieved 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 outcomesto 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 therisk that the assumptions and estimates expressed above do not occur, including the assumption in many forward-looking statements that other forward-looking statements will be correct, but specifically include,without limitation: (i) risks relating to variations in the grade, size distribution and quality of diamonds, kimberlite lithologies and country rock content within the material identified as Mineral Resources from thatpredicted; (ii) variations in rates of recovery and diamond breakage; (iii) slower increases in diamond valuations than assumed; (iv) risks relating to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar and other currencies relative to theUS dollar; (v) increases in the costs of proposed capital, operating and sustainable capital expenditures; (vi) operational and infrastructure risks; (vii) execution risk relating to the development of an operating mine at theRenard Diamond Mine; (viii) failure to satisfy the conditions to the funding or availability, as the case may require, of the Senior Secured Loan and the Equipment Facility; ( ix) developments in world diamond markets; and(x) all other risks described in Stornoway’s most recently filed AIF and its other disclosure documents available under the Corporation’s profile at www.sedar.com. Stornoway cautions that the foregoing list of factors thatmay affect future results is not exhaustive and new, unforeseeable factors and risks may arise from time to time.
Qualified Persons
The Qualified Persons that prepared the technical reports and press releases that form the basis for the presentation are listed in the Company’s AIF dated February 23, 2017. Disclosure of a scientific or technical naturein this presentation was prepared under the supervision of M. Patrick Godin, P.Eng. (Québec), Chief Operating Officer. Stornoway’s exploration programs are supervised by Robin Hopkins, P.Geol. (NT/NU), Vice President,Exploration. Each of M. Godin and Mr. Hopkins are “qualified persons” under NI 43-101.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This presentation refers to certain financial measures, such Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Average diamond price achieved, Cash Operating Cost per Tonne of Ore Processed, Cash Operating Cost per CaratRecovered, Capital Expenditures and Available Liquidity, which are not measures recognized under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS.
“Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” are used by management and investors to assess and measure the underlying pre-tax operating performance of the Corporation and are generally regarded by management as better measures to evaluate performance trends. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss) before depreciation, interest and other financial (income) expenses, and income tax, adjusted for impairment charges, unrealized gains and losses related to the changes in fair value of U.S. Denominated debt and other non-recurring or unusual items that are not reflective of the Corporation’s underlying operating performance and/or unlikely to occur on a regular basis. “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues. “Average diamond price achieved” is a measure used by the Corporation to measure the value of diamonds sold into the market in the period, prior to adjustments to reflect the impact of the stream. This measure is used by management and investors as it reflects the average diamond price achieved during the period and is more comparable to the average diamond price achieved by to other diamond producers. Average diamond price achieved is calculated based on reported revenues adjusted for the amortization of deferred stream revenue, and remittances made to/from stream participants and gains or losses from revenue hedging activities divided by the number of carats sold in the period. “Cash Operating Cost per Tonne Processed” and “Cash Operating Cost per Carat Recovered” are used by management and investors to measure the mine’s cash operating cost based on per tonne of ore processed or per carat recovered. Cash Operating Cost Per Tonne Processed is calculated based on reported operating expenses adjusted for the impact of inventory variation, excluding depreciation, divided by tonnes of ore processed for the period. Cash Operating Cost per Carat Recovered is the total cash operating cost divided by carats recovered. “Capital Expenditure” is the term used by the Corporation and investors to describe capital expenditures incurred during the period. This measure is used by management and investors to measure the amount of capital spent by the corporation on sustaining, margin improvement, and/or growth capital projects in the period. “Available Liquidity” comprises cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and available credit facilities (less related upfront fees) and is used by the management and investors to measure the amount of cash resources available to the Corporation, over and above the cash generated from operations, to support the operating and capital requirements of the business.

Mining: Transitioning to Underground
19
In the first half of 2018 principal production will transition from the Renard 2-Renard 3 open pit to the underground mine.
Development of the underground mine is progressing on schedule with first ore production in Renard 2 at the 290m level.
At year end, 4,869m of lateral development had been completed compared to a plan of 4,460m, the fresh air raise had been completed, 26 out of 32 FY2018 production draw points had been excavated, and a production drilling inventory of 436,424 tonnes of drilled ore had been established.
The first production blast occurred successfully on December 20th, 2017.
Processing of underground production ore commenced in the first quarter of 2018, with full production scheduled for the second quarter.
In 2018, 5,000 meters of underground delineation drilling is planned to test the depth potential of the high grade Renard 3 kimberlite with a view to the acceleration of its inclusion in the Renard underground mine plan.
Processing: Ore-Waste Sorting
20
In August 2017 Stornoway approved a capital budget of $22 million for the installation of an ore-waste sorting circuit at the Renard Process Plant.
Ore-waste sorting at Renard is intended to reduce the proportion of hard and abrasive internal waste entering the plant, and improve the quality and size distribution of diamond recoveries.
The new circuit includes covered conveyors, a gravity fed tower containing primary, secondary and scavenging TOMRA spectral sorters, and a waste rock load out.
Commissioning has commenced.
The facility will be rated at 7,000 tonnes per day, and will be expandable. It will provide an ancillary opportunity for future processing expansion at Renard.
Outlook: Mine Life Extension and Production Growth Potential Opportunity to accelerate high-grade ore and expand processing capabilities

Diamond Sales
Stornoway sells 100% of the Renard diamond production by arms length tender in Antwerp with Bonas-Couzyn as sales commissionaire.
Sales are on an undivided basis:
Stornoway acts as sales agent through its commissionaire on behalf of both itself and the streamers.
Stornoway has exclusive authority over marketing strategy.
Other than under exceptional circumstances, Stornoway is a price taker and does not hold inventory outside of normal goods-in-progress.
Stornoway will support the Québec or Canadian brand identification initiatives of its clients through chain of custody certification.
The Bonas contract has a 3 year term, renewable. Bonas is responsible for GDV valuation support, sorting, tender sales, contract sale negotiation, back office support, security. Outside of the contract, SWY pays courier and transport insurance costs and out of pocket management expenses.
Total marketing costs are forecast at less than 3% of revenue, of which the streamers pay their proportional share.

The “Mecheshoo” Agreement (IBA)Renard’s Social Licence
The Renard Diamond Project is situated close to the Cree Nation of Mistissini (CNM)
In March 2012 Stornoway concluded an Impacts and Benefits Agreement, the “Mecheshoo Agreement”, with the CNM and the Grand Council of the Crees (EI)
The Mecheshoo Agreement provides for employment and business opportunities for the Crees, fosters cultural, environmental and social protection, and provides for the Crees’ participation in the project’s long term financial success
“Stornoway has demonstrated an immense openness and has been willing to adapt the project in a manner that respects the Crees of Mistissini, our interests, our
values, our culture and our way of life…At this point, we can assure without a doubt that this project has a clear social acceptability from Mistissini”
- Chief Richard Shecapio, CNM, March 2012
Declaration of PartnershipCooperation Agreement with Chapais and Chibougamau
In July 2012 Stornoway concluded a “Declaration of Partnership” with the nearby communities 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
“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”

Modified Processed Kimberlite Containment Facility (MPKC)
42
Original Design for PKC Storage Modified Design for the MPKC Facility
Original PKC design concept contemplated centrifugal dewatering of PK and containment by dry-stacking
Early ore processing generated more fine particles and finer particles
Therefore:
dewatering was not feasible
material could not be used to construct a dry-stacked facility
Needed a facility to manage wetter fines
New PK management follows the same original design requirements. Closure of the site similar to the ESIA concept.
Containment berms manage deposition of dry, coarse PK and wet, fine PK
To manage quality of PK, a degrit module has been installed in the process plant and additional civil works completed at MPKC.
Reduction in containment facility height due to material quality - MPKC facility uses the same management principles as previously.
Work completed on schedule and now operational.

High depletion rates from existing mines such as Rio Tinto’s Argyle mine which is expected to close within the next few years
Even under the most optimistic supply scenario, multiple new mines are required to replace existing supply
