Renard 65 Bulk Sample
Announced July 23rd, 2012.
Stornoway will commence the process of converting
the project’s Inferred Mineral Resources with a 5,000
Existing R65 Pit Northern R65 Contact
tonne bulk sample of the Renard 65 kimberlite,
starting in July 2012.
Renard 65 has a good potential to return large
diamonds, and it is expected that 1,000 carats will
be recovered for valuation.
5,000t Trench
Ore will be trenched from the northern end of
Renard 65 where kimberlite is already exposed at
surface. Processing will occur at the 10 tph plant
located at the project site, with diamond recovery at
Stornoway’s North Vancouver facility.
A 4 carat, top quality diamond
Conversion of Renard 65 will allow an increase in recovered from Renard 65 drillcore
planned production rate to 7,000 tonnes per day (2.6
Mtonnes/annum) and an extension of the project’s
mine life and reserve tail.
Results are expected by year end.

Renard’s Diamonds
Valuation Conducted by WWW International Diamond Consultants Ltd. May 8th-13th, 2011
Renard kimberlite pipes have a diamond population with a coarse size distribution and high proportion
of large white gems. Lynx and Hibou kimberlite dykes have a finer distribution of browner stones.
99% by weight gem/near-gem quality. 1% industrial quality boart.
Coarse size distribution: potential for significant “Specials”, not accounted for in the current resource
work. (Three to six 50-100ct stones and one to two +100ct stones every 100,000 carats.)

Permitting
On-Track for Completion in 2012
Renard falls under the environmental protection
regime of the James Bay and Northern Québec
Agreement (JBNQA) and the Canadian
Environmental Assessment Act.
Permitting Milestones:
• December 2011: Filing of the Renard Environmental
and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA)
• June 2012: Successful public hearings in Mistissini
and Chibougamau hosted by the federal regulator
• August 2012: Scheduled public hearings under the
auspices of the Review Committee of the JBNQA.
Renard is on track for the receipt of its
“Certificates of Authorization” within 2012.
The Renard ESIA describes a limited-footprint
project with modest impacts on the local
environment, all of which are well within existing
Québec and federal standards.
Stornoway has published the complete ESIA, the
Environmental Baseline Study, and the project
Closure Plan online.

Global Rough Diamond Production Forecast
Almost all rough diamond production forecasts show flat or declining production long term.
Alrosa is an optimistic forecaster, with a 23% increase in carat supply 2010 to 2020. Others (such as RBC
below) forecast 15-17% supply growth. Rough production may not 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. New production from projects under development is not expected to materially impact overall supply.

The Renard Feasibility Study of November 2011, consistent with the NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource of January 2011, utilizes a higher diamond price based on an analysis of
diamond breakage and poor plant recovery of the Renard 4 valuation sample, which is $164/carat. All samples utilize a +0.85mm (+1 DTC) cutoff.

Financial Analysis
Renard Diamond Valuation Sensitivities
WWW determine High and Minimum sensitivities on their Base Case diamond price model. WWW state that
it is unlikely that an actual diamond price achieved for each kimberlite body upon production would fall below
the “Minimum” sensitivity, but it is possible that the actual diamond price achieved may be higher than the
“High” sensitivity, which is not a maximum price.
The Feasibility Study Base Case diamond price of US$182/carat for Renard 2 and 3 and US$164/carat for
Renard 4 derives from a value modeling approach that assumes a single diamond size distribution in the
three kimberlites.
An alternative interpretation, that each kimberlite’s diamond population is unique and is correctly represented
by its diamond sample, yields diamond price models of US$208/carat for Renard 2, US$165/carat for Renard
3 and US$112/carat for Renard 4.

Financial Analysis
Renard Diamond Valuation Sensitivities
This “Alternative” diamond price model is highly accretive to the project’s valuation given the dominance of
Renard 2 in the mine plan. The interpretation of similarity in the diamond populations is the more
conservative approach.

A real-terms diamond price growth factor of 2.5% per annum has been applied between 2012 and 2025.
This is consistent with well constrained rough diamond supply and demand forecasts and industry best-
practice. WWW have advised that Stornoway’s assumptions on diamond price and diamond price growth
are “reasonable in the context of the overall supply and demand environment” of the diamond industry.
The project shows strong sensitivity to future diamond price growth.

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.49
Processed Kimberlite Containment
PKC site selection was based on a
comprehensive evaluation of 5 sites.
Geochemical characterisation of Processed
Kimberlite (“PK”) and country rock waste
indicates minimal metal leach potential and
no acid generation.
PKC facility will be a dry stacked facility with
no requirement for a liner. Dewatered PK Characterisation
Ch
PKC facility can accommodate all current
Indicated and Inferred Resources (44.3 Mt).
Waste rock can be used as construction
aggregate.
PK will be de-watered by centrifuge and
trucked to the PKC site. PKC is an
engineered facility requiring compaction of
berms and placement of erosion barriers.
The PK deposition plan allows for
progressive rehabilitation and re-vegetation.
No fish habitat will be impacted by PK
disposal.

Water Management
All water in contact with mining materials will be collected and treated prior to release. Treated water will
meet standards defined by Québec MDDEP Directive 019, Québec environmental effluent objectives for
the protection of aquatic life, and the Canadian Metal Mining Effluent Regulation.
Single watershed impacted by all mining activities.
Water recycling for process plant.
Water management system includes a network of collection ditches, a

Stornoway acknowledges that it is only a temporary
user of land that will be returned to its traditional
users at the end of mine life. In this context, project
design has prioritized minimal environmental
footprint and progressive rehabilitation.
Buildings have been designed and materials
selected to facilitate dismantling, recycling and site
re-vegetation at the end of the mine life.
Mine planning ensures that all waste rock will be
used for construction, backfill of the underground
