The document discusses Stornoway Diamond Corporation's annual general meeting on October 19th, 2015 in Montreal. It provides an overview of the Renard Diamond Project in Quebec, which will be the province's first diamond mine. Stornoway reports that construction of the project is 47.4% complete, on budget and on schedule to be completed within their $811 million budget. Plant commissioning is scheduled for the second half of 2016, with commercial production starting in the second quarter of 2017. The document also notes that market conditions for mining equity financings and construction contracts have been favorable for the timely financing and execution of the Renard project.
Belo Sun is a Canadian-based mining company focused on generating long-term sustainable value for its shareholders by developing the Volta Grande Gold Project. A feasibility study completed in March 2015, demonstrates a straightforward open-pit heap leach mine with a long life, strong production profile, bottom quartile operating costs and robust economics.
On February 2, 2017, Belo Sun received the “Licenca de Instalacao” (“LI” or “Construction Licence”) for the Volta Grande Gold Project from the Brazilian State Government of Pará under the environmental authority, SEMAS.

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 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 amount of 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 to recovered grade, average ore recovery, internal dilution, mining dilution and other mining parameters set out
in 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 2011
Feasibility Study or the Optimization Study; (vi) mine expansion potential and expected mine life; (vii) expected time frames for completion of permitting and regulatory
approvals 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 the
Renard Diamond Project; (ix) the expected time frames for the completion of construction, start of mining and commercial production at the Renard Diamond Project and the
financial 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) the
Corporation’s expectations regarding receipt of the remaining deposits under the Stream and its ability to meet its delivery obligations thereunder; (xvi) the impact of the
Financing Transactions on the Corporation’s operations, infrastructure, opportunities, financial condition, access to capital and overall strategy; (xvii) the foreign exchange rate
between 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 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 be achieved, 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, 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 which
Stornoway will operate in the future, including the price of diamonds, anticipated costs and Stornoway’s ability to achieve its goals, anticipated financial performance, regulatory
developments, 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. Certain
important assumptions by Stornoway or its consultants in making forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) required capital investment and estimated
workforce requirements; (ii) estimates of net present value and internal rates of return; (iii) anticipated timelines for completion of construction, commencement of mine
production and development of an open pit and underground mine at the Renard Diamond Project, which heavily depend, among other things, on adequate availability and
performance of skilled labour, engineering and construction personnel, performance of mining and construction equipment and timely delivery of components; (iv) anticipated
geological 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 each
of 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 the
completion of the development and construction of the Renard Diamond Project; (vii) Stornoway’s interpretation of the geological drill data collected and its potential impact on
stated 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 to
meet 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 recently
filed Annual Information Form, annual and interim MD&A, and other disclosure documents available under the Corporation’s profile at: www.sedar.com.

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 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 and
estimates expressed above do not occur, including the assumption in many forward-looking statements that other forward-looking statements will be correct. Stornoway
invites 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 disclosure
documents 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 of
the Corporation and that may affect future results is not exhaustive, and new, unforeseeable risks may arise from time to time.

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.

Working 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.

Innovation at Renard
Liquefied 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.
