(NT/NU), Stornoway Diamond Corporation Mr. Paul Bedell, P.Eng., Golder Associates Ltd Effective Date December 31, 2015 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This document contains forward-looking information and forward-looking statements (collectively referred to herein as “forward-looking information” or “forward-looking statements”). All, statements, other than statements of historical fact regarding Stornoway or the Renard Diamond Project, are forward-looking statements. 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. This report contains forward-looking statements including with respect to, without limitation: (i) the amount of Mineral Reserves, Mineral Resources and exploration targets; (ii) the amount of future production over any period; (iii) assumptions relating to recovered grade, average ore recovery, internal dilution, mining dilution and other mining parameters; (iv) assumptions relating to gross revenues, operating cash flow and other revenue metrics; (v) mine expansion potential and expected mine life; (vi) 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; (vii) the expected time frames for the completion of the open pit and underground mine at the Renard Diamond Project; (viii) future exploration plans; (ix) future market prices for rough diamonds; and (x) future market prices for liquefied natural gaz and diesel. All forward-looking statements in this report are made based upon certain assumptions and estimates made as of the date such statements are made and are subject to risk factors and uncertainties, many of which may not be controlled or predicted. Material assumptions regarding forward-looking statements include without limitation: (i) required capital investment and estimated workforce requirements; (ii) estimates of net present value; (iii) receipt of regulatory approvals on acceptable terms within commonly experienced time frames; (iv) 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; (v) anticipated geological formations; (vi) market prices for rough diamonds and the potential impact on the Renard Diamond Project; (vii) the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions under each of the Forward Sale of Diamonds, the Senior Secured Loan, the COF and the Equipment Facility to allow Stornoway to draw on the funding available under those financing elements for the completion of the development and construction of the Renard Diamond Project; (viii) Stornoway’s interpretation of the geological drill data collected and its potential impact on stated Mineral Resources and mine life; and (ix) future exploration plans and objectives. 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, but specifically include, without limitation: (i) risks relating to variations in the grade, kimberlite lithologies and country rock content within the material identified as Mineral Resources from that predicted; (ii) variations in rates of recovery and breakage; (iii) the uncertainty as to whether further exploration of exploration targets will result in the targets being delineated as Mineral Resources; (iv) developments in world diamond markets; (v) slower increases in diamond valuations than assumed; (vi) risks relating to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar and other currencies relative to the US dollar; (vii) increases in the costs of proposed capital and operating expenditures; (viii) increases in financing costs or adverse changes to the terms of available financing, if any; (ix) tax rates or royalties being greater than assumed; (x) uncertainty of results of exploration in areas of potential expansion of resources; (xi) changes in development or mining plans due to changes in other factors or exploration results; (xii) risks relating to the receipt of regulatory approvals; (xiii) the effects of competition in the markets in which Stornoway operates; (xiv) operational and infrastructure risks; (xv) execution risk relating to the development of an operating mine at the Renard Diamond Project; (xvi) failure to satisfy the conditions to the effectiveness, funding or availability, as the case may require, of each of the Forward Sale of Diamonds, the Senior Secured Loan, the COF and the Equipment Facility. Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affect Stornoway’s actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, on or behalf of, Stornoway. All of the forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements. Stornoway and the Qualified Persons who authored this report undertake no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information or future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Salutations d’Ottawa! 오타와에서 인사드립니다! Throughout the month of May, there were events celebrating the accomplishments of Asian Canadians throughout Canadian history, as well as special events that brought people together to share stories, discuss relevant topics, network and be inspired. It was also a time to reflect on the pioneering Asian Canadians across our country who paved the way for others to pursue their dreams and reach their potential. Congratulations to my dedicated staff Grace Seear, Kristin Doyle and Grace Lee for becoming honorary members of KVA Unit 7 in the presence of our beloved veterans. It was also an honour for me to be named an Honorary ROTCian at the 2019 ROTC North America Conference in Calgary, AB. In the Senate of Canada, we had a very busy legislative schedule in May, and anticipate longer sittings in June as the end of this current Parliament comes to a close and we rise for the summer and the fall election that awaits us all. As always, my staff and I thank you for your continued support and look forward to serving you to the best of our abilities. - Senator Yonah Martin ASIAN HERITAGE MONTH Ottawa, ON On May 10th, Senator Martin co-hosted the Voices in Action Breakfast with the Ottawa Asian Heritage Month Society and the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board.

  • “Stornoway” Or the “Company”)
    Form 51-102F1 Interim Management Discussion and Analysis1 For Stornoway Diamond Corporation (“Stornoway” or the “Company”) Containing Information up to and including December 10, 2012 OVERALL PERFORMANCE Stornoway is a leading Canadian diamond exploration and development company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Stornoway is engaged in the exploration and development of diamond projects in Canada, with a highly prospective pipeline of projects from feasibility stage to grass roots exploration. Stornoway’s principal focus is its 100% owned Renard Diamond Project located in north-central Québec, a feasibility-stage project with the potential to become Québec’s first diamond mine. Four additional projects in eastern Nunavut and on the Ontario/Québec border are classified as being at an “advanced” stage, and Stornoway is also engaged in exploration at several early stage grass roots projects throughout Canada in geologically prospective, underexplored regions. Stornoway’s strategy is to build a growth oriented company that succeeds in the practical business of mining and selling rough diamonds. Stornoway’s long term view of the rough diamond market is positive, with tightening mine supply and growing demand, particularly in developing markets, resulting in real, long term price growth. In this context, Stornoway is well positioned to move Renard towards commercial production, and to add diamond resources from existing internal growth projects or acquisitions as new opportunities are identified. In addition, the Company has a management

  • Cahiers-Papers 47-1 Final Proof.Indd
    122 Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada 47/1 certain books? Determining provenance can tell us much about such things. One of the most important lessons materializes as one reads about the shift from private to public libraries: university and state libraries not only acquire and disseminate knowledge but also preserve it. This is a too-often forgotten function of the library. This volume of essays reminds us of it, and of the prestige and attraction to future scholars that even a simple collection will grow to have. Books on the Move is not an easy read. Although archivists and bibliographers will appreciate the intricately researched articles, the detail at times is overwhelming and the larger point sometimes difficult to ascertain. But for the specialist audience with a firm grasp of the terminology, these essays will not fail to please, assembling as they do cutting-edge discoveries from a recent conference. The proceedings of the Annual Conference on Book Trade History have been published since 1981 by Harris and Myers, joined by Mandelbrote in 2000. The books are co-published by Oak Knoll Press and the British Library, and those interested in more information on provenance history should consult the publishers’ web sites. Books on the Move is an important volume for those wishing to learn more about the history of books and the study of provenance. PATTI HARPER Carleton University Library Ruth Clayton Windscheffel. Reading Gladstone. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2008. 330 pp.; US $69.95 ISBN 9780230007659 Reading Gladstone raises interesting questions about books, intel- lectuals, politics and power.

  • From the Outer Hebrides to the Eastern Townships of Canada in the Nineteenth Century
    Margaret Bennett 143 FROM THE OUTER HEBRIDES TO THE EASTERN TOWNSHIPS OF CANADA IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Professor Margaret Bennett, Honorary Research Fellow University of St Andrews, Scotland Abstract The Potato Famine of 1846–56 severely affected the West Highlands and Is- lands of Scotland, forcing mass emigration to the New World. Those who settled in Quebec kept alive memories about the homeland, the Atlantic cross- ing, the allocation of land in the Eastern Townships, company houses, pio- neer homesteading, optimism, faith, and community spirit. Only newspapers and official records document the famine, while fireside stories handed down through generations tell of faith, hope, loyalty, honesty, neighbourliness and hard work. Today, Scotland’s “Old Alliance” with France is reflected in a new relationship reviving interest and kinship on both sides of the Atlantic. Résumé La Grande Famine de 1846–1856 a durement affecté les Highlands de l’Ouest et les iles d’Écosse, menant à une émigration forcée vers le Nouveau Monde. Ceux qui se sont installés au Québec ont gardé vivantes les mémoires de la mère-patrie, de la traversée de l’Atlantique, de l’allocation de terres dans les Cantons-de-l’Est, des maisons fournies par les employeurs, de l’installation sur les terres en concession, de l’optimisme, de la foi, et de l’esprit communautaire. Seuls les journaux et les documents officiels racontent la famine alors que les récits au coin du feu transmis de générations en générations parlent de foi, d’espoir, de loyauté, d’honnêteté, d’entraide entre voisins et de durs labeurs.
