DIAMOND DISCOVERIES: A CANADIAN LEADER North American Diamond Exploration 2 Kimberlite and related rocks Pre-1981 1981-2012 1 2013-2017 • Five kimberlite fields discovered in the last five years • North Arrow discovered two of them: (1) Pikoo & (2) Mel; the only junior explorer to make a discovery in that period. • Both significantly diamondiferous J:\1Maps\NorthAmerica\CanadaDEM\DEM 5

NAUJAAT PROJECT – TICKS ALL THE BOXES Q1-4 Jurisdiction kimberlite Clear permitting path in Nunavut Near tide water Freight costs 50% of NWT diamond mines Large tonnage ~48 Mt down to 205m below surface Low strip ratio <3:1 vs >10:1 for NWT diamond mines Significant diamond inventory* ~26M contained carats; ~50cpht Blue sky potential 15 additional kimberlites for evaluation Naujaat Unique diamond value proposition Proposed road route 21 * CAUTION – Inferred Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability
Q1-4 – DEPOSIT EVALUATION • Deposit evaluation – function of jurisdiction, location, infrastructure, tonnage, mining method, ‘in situ’ value etc. • ‘In Situ’ Value – function of grade and diamond value • Diamond value – function of diamond quality and size distribution • 2017: confirmed i) Q1-4 tonnage (drilling) & ii) potential diamond value upside (bulk sample) Pit overlay is for demonstration purposes; conceptual in nature. 22
Q1-4 - LARGE TONNAGE, EASY ACCESS Internal desk top study of potential mining scenarios suggests extending Q1-4 resource from 200m to 300m below surface would represent the ‘sweet spot’ for deposit size with open pit strip ratio less than 3:1 . 2014 A28 Bulk Sample Site Image view: Looking southwest
