Renard 65
Renard 3
Stornoway recently completed a successful 5,000
tonne bulk sample at Renard 65 in July 2012.
The Renard 65 bulk sample returned the highest value
diamonds to date at the Renard Project. Diamond
recovery of 963 carats with a March 2013 valuation of
US$250/ct, giving a base model of US$180/ct
(sensitivities of $203 & $169).
July 2013: Conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources to
a depth of 150m to an Indicated Mineral Resource of
2.30 Mcarats (comprising 7.87 Mtonnes at 29cpht)
Upon conversion to a Mineral Reserve, this material
may be incorporated into the mine plan in two ways:
1. add 1 year to the LOM and increase the
production rate to 2.5Mt/a or
2. add 3 years to the LOM as a reserve tail at a
production rate of 2.1Mt/a
The cost of developing a 75m deep pit at Renard 65 is
already contained within the Feasibility Study.
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

26. Liquefied 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 gensets.
A Hydro-Québec powerline has been ruled
out in the short term due to high cap-ex
cost.
On October 21st 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.
26
27. 27
Liquefied Natural Gas Power Plant
Feasibility 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 Quebec.
• 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: The potential quantity and grade of any exploration target (previously referred to as “potential mineral deposit”) is conceptual in nature, and it is uncertain if further exploration
will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. The exploration upside for the Renard kimberlite pipes has been determined by projecting reasonable kimberlite
volumes from the base of the inferred Resource to a depth of 700m below surface. In the case of the Lynx and Hibou dykes, the exploration upside was established on the basis of
known drill intersections of kimberlite for which insufficient diamond sampling exists to adequately estimate a diamond resource grade.

Future Rough Diamond Supply
Almost all rough diamond production forecasts show flat or declining production long term. De Beers see
production peaking in 2017, and broad reserve depletion thereafter.
Rough production is not expected to reach 2008 levels in carat terms again.
No large scale diamond mine has been discovered since the discovery of EKATI and Diavik in the early
1990s. The movement to underground mining in Russia, South Africa and Canada will lower overall industry
margins.
