Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information Cautionary Statement: This presentation contains certain “forward-looking statements” and “forward-looking information” under applicable Canadian and United States securities laws concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. (“Mountain Province”). Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to estimated production and mine life of the project of Mountain Province; the realization of mineral reserve estimates; the timing and amount of estimated future production; costs of production; the future price of diamonds; the estimation of mineral reserves and resources; the ability manage debt; capital expenditures; the ability to obtain permits for operations; liquidity; tax rates; and currency exchange rate fluctuations. Except for statements of historical fact relating to Mountain Province, certain information contained herein constitutes forward-looking
“should,” “to be”, “potential” and other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions “may”, “should” or “will” occur. Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management at the date the statements are made, and are based on a number of assumptions and subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of Mountain Province and there is no assurance they will prove to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from results anticipated by such forward-looking statements include variations in ore grade or recovery rates, changes in market conditions, changes in project parameters, mine sequencing; production rates; cash flow; risks relating to the availability and timeliness of permitting and governmental approvals; supply of, and demand for, diamonds; fluctuating commodity prices and currency exchange rates, the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry, failure of plant, equipment
These factors are discussed in greater detail in Mountain Province's most recent Annual Information Form and in the most recent MD&A filed on SEDAR, which also provide additional general assumptions in connection with these statements. Mountain Province cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. Readers who base themselves on forward-looking statements should carefully consider the above factors as well as the uncertainties they represent and the risk they entail. Mountain Province believes that the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this presentation should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak
Although Mountain Province has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Mountain Province undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management’s estimates or opinions should change except as required by applicable securities laws. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Statements concerning mineral reserve and resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered as the property is developed. Comparative market information is as of a date prior to the date of this document. Further, Mountain Province may make changes to its business plans that could affect its results. The principal assets of Mountain Province are administered pursuant to a joint venture under which Mountain Province is not the operator. Mountain Province is exposed to actions taken or omissions made by the operator within its prerogative and/or determinations made by the joint venture under its terms. Such actions or omissions may impact the future performance of Mountain Province. Under its current note and revolving credit facilities Mountain Province is subject to certain limitations on its ability to pay dividends on common stock. The declaration of dividends is at the discretion of Mountain Province’s Board of Directors, subject to the limitations under the Company’s debt facilities, and will depend on Mountain Province’s financial results, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

Qualified Person Technical information included in this presentation regarding the Company’s mineral property has been reviewed by Keyvan Salehi, P.Eng., MBA, VP Corporate Development and Technical Services, and Dr. Tom McCandless, P.Geo., Vice President Exploration, both Qualified Persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standard of Disclosure for Mineral Properties (“NI 43-101”). All material technical information included herein has previously been disclosed by the Company, and the reader is particularly directed to the Company’s most recently filed AIF and U.S. Form 40-F and its most recently filed interim and annual financial reports; as well as the remaining filings completing Company’s continuous disclosure records. Those records include the technical report dated March 16, 2018 titled “Gahcho Kué Mine, NI 43-101 Technical Report, NWT, Canada” (with an effective date of December 31, 2017). Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Regarding Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws and, as a result, reports its mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates as well as other scientific or technical information regarding its mineral properties in accordance with Canadian reporting requirements. Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by NI 43-101. As a result, information contained in this presentation containing descriptions of the Company’s mineral properties
governed by the SEC’s Industry Guide 7 (“Guide 7”). These reporting standards have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence in the disclosures being reported, but embody different approaches and definitions. For example, under Guide 7 mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization can be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time such reserve determination is made. “Probable reserves” disclosed in this presentation and reported in compliance with NI 43-101 may differ in certain material respects from “probable reserves” reported in compliance with Guide 7. Also disclosed in this presentation are estimates of “inferred resources” reported in compliance with NI 43-101. While the terms “mineral resource” and “inferred resource” are recognized by NI 43-101, they are not defined terms under standards of the SEC and, generally, U.S. companies are not permitted to report estimates of mineral resources of any category in documents filed with the SEC. As such, certain information contained in this presentation concerning descriptions of mineralization and estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources under Canadian standards is not comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC. The reader should not assume that all or any part of a mineral resource will ever be converted into mineral reserves. The reader is also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. Further, an inferred resource has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and as to its economic and legal feasibility, and a reader cannot assume that all or any part of an inferred resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies.
