Stornoway does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by Stornoway or on our behalf, except as required by law.

Readers are referred to the technical report dated as of February 28th, 2013 entitled “The Renard Diamond Project, Quebec, Canada, Feasibility Study Update, NI 43-101 Technical Report, February 28, 2013” in respect of the January 2013 Optimization Study, and the press release dated July 23, 2013 in respect of the July 2013 Mineral Resource estimate for further details and assumptions relating to the project. 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 July 25, 2013. Disclosure of a scientific or technical nature in this presentation has been reviewed and approved by Robin Hopkins, P.Geol. (NT/NU), Vice President, Exploration, a “qualified person” under NI 43-101.

The Financing Transactions described in this presentation are intended to provide a comprehensive financing package for the construction of the Renard Diamond Project and, as such, the completion, effectiveness or availability, as the case may require, of each of the Financing Transactions is conditioned on the completion (excluding the equipment facility), effectiveness or availability, as the case may require, of each of the other Financing Transactions.

An investment in Subscription Receipts involves a high degree of risk and must be considered speculative due to the nature of Stornoway’s business and the present stage of exploration and development of its mineral properties. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risk factors described in and incorporated by reference into the preliminary prospectus, including the “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” sections thereof.

Prospective investors should be aware that the purchase of Subscription Receipts may have tax consequences. The preliminary prospectus may not describe these tax consequences fully. Prospective investors should read the tax discussion in the preliminary prospectus, including the “Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” section thereof, and should consult with a tax advisor.

The potential quantity and grade of any Target for Further Exploration (“TFFE”) was defined on the basis of geological modelling, outcrop mapping, limited delineation drilling, surface sampling and projecting kimberlite volumes from the base of the Inferred Mineral Resource to a depth of approximately 775m below surface, representing the base of current drilling as established at the Renard 4 deposit.

6World’s First Diamond Streaming AgreementWhy a Stream?

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.

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.

26Liquefied 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.

Page 27: Renard Diamond Mine Financing Presentation

27Liquefied 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

Notes: 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 TFFE is conceptual in nature, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

32Renard’s High Value DiamondsLarge Diamond Potential Not Included in Base Case Diamond Valuation Models

The Renard kimberlite pipes have similar, but marginally different diamond populations exhibiting coarse size distributions and with high proportions of large white gems.

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

Value Upside in Large Gems: Diamonds larger than 10.8ct (“Specials”) estimated at three to six 50-100ct stones and one to two +100ct stones every 100,000 carats (two weeks). Not accounted for in the revenue model.

The 2013 Optimization Study assumed an average diamond valuation of US$180/ct (calculated on an un-escalated basis) based on May 2011 prices. The current estimate of average diamond value, as of March 2014, is US$190/carat (un-escalated).

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 8.9% between October 2003 and March 2014 in nominal terms.
