Pipe Model

Q1-4 Pipe Naujaat Approximate Surface Trace

1May, 2013; Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability 2Defined as 100% recovery of +1 to +23 DTC diamonds 3Target for further exploration - The potential quantity and grade of the TFFE referred to above is conceptual in nature and it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource 10 Q 1-4 RESOURCE ALL IN ONE BODY: LOW STRIP RATIO

Q1-4 internal study demonstrates potential for low strip ratio • <2:1 down to 205 m (inferred resources). Q1-4 (down to 305 m; inferred + TFFE) • <3:1 down to 305 m (TFFE and inferred resources). • Reduces cost and helps to address lower grade of Q1-4. Best comparable is De Beers’ Victor Mine, ON. • Grade is ~50 cpht total diamond • content: more modest grade compared to some Cdn deposits. • Horseshoe shape, ‘all-in-one’ singular deposit reduces strip ratio required.

Common Canadian Deposit Scenarios Multiple small, high grade bodies with higher strip ratio – eg Gahcho Kué, Ekati, Diavik

Pit overlay is for demonstration purposes; conceptual in nature.

Gahcho Kué (Tuzo, Hearne, 5034) Strip Ratio = 10.2:1 life of mine (Mountain Province Diamonds; May 2014 Feasibility Study) 11 IMPACT OF STRIPPING RATIO ON MINING COST

Impact of Strip Ratio – Generic Example Strip Ratio Cost of Mining per Cost of Mining per of Deposit tonne tonne (ore) • Cost of mining / tonne rock in the Arctic = ~$4.00/t (+/-25%). 4:1 ~$4.00 /t $20.00 • Cost is same for mining waste (which is not processed) and ore (which is subsequently 8:1 ~$4.00 /t $36.00 processed). 12:1 ~$4.00 /t $52.00

Strip Ratio = number of tonnes of waste rock mined for each tonne of ore mined and processed.

4:1 ratio: 4:1 8:1 12:1 12:1 ratio: 5 tonnes (t) are 13 tonnes (t) are mined (4 t waste; mined (12 t waste & 1 t ore) per 1 t & 1 t ore) per 1 t ore processed ore processed ore ore ore

Primary Conclusions from the 2015 Valuation • “Valuation results and modelled values should be treated with considerable caution when it comes to assessing the Qilalugaq Project.”1 • “Valuation of this small diamond parcel is further challenged by the presence of two distinct diamond populations.”1 Q1-4 2014/15 Sample:

Yellow diamonds, representing a range of hues and tones, comprise approximately 9.0% by stone count and 21.5% by carat weight of the +1 DTC diamonds recovered to date”. 1 Observations

• Proportion of yellows increases with increasing diamond size. Q1-4 Grade/Size Curve • The yellow diamonds empirically have a coarser population. Comparative Curves • Infrared spectral analyses (FTIR) confirm yellow and“ non-yellow diamond populations are of different ages. Total Parcel June 2015 Price Model Applied to Projected SFD Models:

Yellow Diamonds - Projected coarse SFD Model (Red) • Applying the June 2015 price model to modelled yellow diamond coarse SFD results in price range from ~$100/ct to ‘Dark Yellow’ >$200/ct. $200/ct is positive for the project. only

Primary Conclusion

• Significant potential upside to Q1-4 diamond prices however not enough information to validate or discount assumptions used to develop the yellow diamond coarse SFD model.

Q1-4 contains a unique population of valuable fancy orangey yellow diamonds

Polishing and Valuation • Certifiable* fancy orangey yellow diamonds would be desirable to the gem/jewelry trade • Round brilliant cuts maximize brilliance with no impact on fully saturated colour • 5 of 13 diamonds certified as ‘Fancy Vivid’ – highest (most valuable) saturation grade • Remainder certified as ‘Fancy Intense’ or ‘Fancy Deep’ – also indicate full saturation

Observations

• Proportion of yellows increases with increasing diamond size.

• The yellow diamonds empirically have a coarser population. ‘Dark Yellow’ only • Infrared spectral analyses (FTIR) confirm yellow and non-yellow diamond populations are distinct. FTIR STUDY – YELLOW DIAMONDS ARE DISTINCT

FTIR Study of Yellow Diamonds

. 50 of 51 yellow diamonds, including 10 polished orangey yellow diamonds, It is therefore appropriate and contain un-aggregated nitrogen impurities. reasonable to separately model their . Un-aggregated nitrogen is characteristic Size Frequency Distribution (SFD). of Type 1b diamonds. . Type 1b diamonds are extremely rare in nature (~0.1% of natural diamonds). . Un-aggregated nitrogen is very efficient at absorbing blue/violet light resulting in the intense yellow colours typical of “Canary” yellow diamonds. . Non-yellow Q1-4 diamonds have no Type Ib component.

Conclusion • The Yellow stones represent a distinct and very young population of diamonds. +5DTC “Run of Mine” from a portion of Q1-4 2014 bulk sample – 17.22 carats TWO SEPARATE DIAMOND POPULATIONS

Q1-4 Grade/Size Curve Yellow population can be modelled to define 2 distinct scenarios Comparative Curves

Scenario 1 – extrapolate to coarser diamond sizes. Total Parcel • Frequency of yellow diamonds at coarser sizes exceeds the current total parcel model.

Scenario 2 – extrapolate to diminishing frequency of larger stones.

• Proportion of yellow/non-yellow diamonds remains the ‘Dark Yellow’ only same at coarser sizes. TWO SEPARATE DIAMOND POPULATIONS

June 2015 Price Models Applied to Possible SFD Scenarios: Q1-4 Grade/Size Curve Comparative Curves Scenario 1: Coarse SFD model (Red) • Applying the June 2015 price models to this outcome results in average price range from just under $100/ct to Total Parcel >$200/ct. $200/ct is positive for the project. Scenario 2: Fine SFD model (Blue) • Applying June 2015 price models to Scenario 2 results in average price range from <$50/ct to <$100/ct. – not good. ‘Dark Yellow’ only Primary Conclusion • Q1-4 diamonds could be valued at +$200/ct through applying 2015 WWW Price Model to a modelled coarse yellow SFD. • Assumptions used to develop SFD models cannot be confirmed or discounted with current dataset – need more sampling.
