North Arrow Minerals is exploring for diamonds in Canada. The presentation provides an overview of North Arrow's projects, which include the advanced-stage Naujaat Project in Nunavut. The Naujaat Project contains a large, near-surface kimberlite pipe (Q1-4) with an inferred resource that also has blue sky potential at depth. North Arrow plans a $3 million exploration program at Naujaat in 2017 including drilling and a mini-bulk sample to improve confidence in the resource. North Arrow also has grassroots diamond projects in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and Saskatchewan that it plans to advance through field work and drilling in search of new kimberlite

Naujaat
Q1-4 Kimberlite
• Largest kimberlite in eastern Arctic = 12.5 ha.
• Tonnage all in one body
• Inferred Resource1 = 48.8 Mt, 26.1 Mcts,
total diamond content2 53.6 cpht.
• TFFE3 = 14.1 to 16.6 Mt, 7.9 to 9.3 Mcts, total
diamond content2 56.1 cpht.
• Inferred Resource only to 205 m depth.
• 6,000 m drilling planned for 2017/18 to
confirm tonnage down to 300 m.
• 15 additional kimberlite bodies that require
further assessment.
9
10. Q 1-4 RESOURCE ALL IN ONE BODY: LOW STRIP RATIO
• at ~50 cpht total diamond content:
more modest grade than Cdn mines.
• However, horseshoe shape, ‘all-in-
one’ singular deposit reduces strip
ratio.
Q1-4 (down to 305 m; inferred + TFFE)
Pit overlay is for demonstration purposes; conceptual in nature.
Common Canadian Mine Scenarios
Multiple small, high grade bodies with higher
strip ratio – eg Gahcho Kué, Ekati, Diavik
Gahcho Kué (Tuzo, Hearne, 5034)
Strip Ratio = 10.2:1 life of mine
(Mountain Province Diamonds; May 2014 Feasibility Study)
Q1-4 internal study demonstrates potential for low strip ratio
• <2:1 down to 205 m (inf. resources).
• <3:1 down to 305 m (TFFE and inf. resources).
• Reduces cost and helps to address lower grade of Q1-4.
• Best comparable is De Beers’ Victor Mine, ON.

11. Q1-4 DIAMOND VALUATION
• ~384 carats from ~1,350 dry
tonnes.
• $92 per carat modelled

• $43 per carat modelled

2016 – Two phase approach to show value upside of
Q1-4 diamonds:
1) Analysis of diamond size frequency distributions (SFD)
2) Cutting/polishing of yellow diamonds
Primary Conclusions from the 2015 WWW Valuation:
• Parcel too small.
• Further challenged by the presence of two distinct diamond populations.
1North Arrow news Release June 9, 2015 reporting results of WWW International Consultants Ltd. valuation.
12. • Need more diamonds to validate or discount assumptions used to
develop the yellow diamond coarse SFD model.
Burgundy Mining Advisors – value upside of Q-1-4 diamonds:
Primary Conclusion
Modelled Coarse SFD for Yellow Diamonds (Red)
• Combining the WWW diamond prices with the model
coarse SFD for yellow diamonds results in price range of
$60/ct to $220/ct. $200/ct is positive for the project.

Q1-4 DIAMOND SFD ANALYSIS
• More yellows in larger diamond sizes.
• Yellow diamonds are younger than white diamonds.
Observations
“
Yellow diamonds comprise 21.5% (by carats) of the
diamonds recovered from the 2014 sample
13. VALUING ORANGEY YELLOW DIAMONDS
Q1-4 contains a unique population of valuable fancy orangey yellow diamonds
*colour certification by Gemological Institute of America (GIA) & CGL Canadian Gem Labs
**polished diamond value estimates by CGL Canadian Gem Labs
Polishing and Valuation
• Certifiable* fancy orangey yellow diamonds - desirable to the gem/jewelry trade
• Round brilliant cuts maximize brilliance with no impact on colour saturation
• ‘Fancy Vivid’ – highest saturation = highest value
• Premium prices for yellow diamonds not reflected in WWW valuation
13
HIGHER VALUE
Polished orangey yellow
diamonds valued at ~2x
value** of most
commonly sold white
diamonds of comparable
size, cut and clarity.
Significant potential
upside for Q1-4 prices.
More diamonds needed

POLISHING RESULTS:
IMPACT ON +11 DTC VALUE
• 20 diamonds collectively valued $437
• 2 were polished & rough should have
been reasonably valued* at $532
• Remaining 18 stones would not come
for free!
POLISHING RESULTS –
IMPACT ON +9 DTC VALUE
• 12 diamonds valued at $119
• 5 were polished & rough should have been
reasonably valued* at $478
• 4x 2015 valuation and remaining 7
diamonds would not come free!

16. 2017 EVALUATION PLAN
Field program ($3 million):
During/after field program:
• Diamond Drilling – 4,500 m (~17 holes).
• Improve geol. model & conf. tonnage to 300m.
• Improve spatial diamond dataset (grade).
• Mini-bulk sample – 200 t.
• ~80-100 carats from highest grade unit.
• Indication of recoverable grade.
• Indication of diamond characteristics.
• Use results to plan larger sample in 2018.
• Seek independent confirmation of low to
high value range; Revisit parcel/SFD
models with WWW & other Valuators.
• Revisit JDS desktop study with current
numbers; Consider expedited PEA using
bracketed valuations.
