Slide 3: Arctic Star Exploration Corp.
ARCTIC STAR EXPLORATION CORP. ARCTIC STAR EXPLORATION CORP. Established in 2001 and has been pre-dominantly focused on diamond exploration since. The Company Currently has Three Projects: The Flagship Property: DIAGRAS project in the Lac de Gras district, (Canada’s premier diamond production area) o
Slide 4: Diamonds Are Back
DIAMONDS ARE BACK Rough diamond prices are at all time historic highs! Peak diamond production was in 2017 @ 156 million carats of rough. Now at 110 million carats of production. $15 billion at peak now at $11 billion. Source: Bain and Co. 4
Slide 5: Diamonds Recent History
DIAMONDS RECENT HISTORY Like many commodities, diamond sales suffered due to the global Covid lock-downs. During this time there were a number of bankruptcies, Dominion, Stornoway, and Firestone. This time has passed and diamond producer stocks are rebounding. 5

Arctic Star & Margaret Lake are using new technical and analytical techniques to find additional potential diam
Slide 8: Sequoia – Location
SEQUOIA – LOCATION EKATI The map shows Sequoia in relation to the Ekati and Diavik diamond processing plants. Given the proximity to these facilities it would make sense to negotiate the processing of the Sequoia Kimberlite at one of these facilities, if Sequoia proves to be of economic interest. Ek
Slide 9: Sequoia vs. Historic Results
SEQUOIA VS. HISTORIC RESULTS In comparison of the results from the Jack Pine kimberlite (Historic De Beers results) and Sequoia show distinctly different diamond populations with Sequoia having twice as many stones >0.104mm and demonstrating larger stones. 0.104 0.15 0.212 0.3 0.425 0.6 0.85 1.18 To
Slide 10: Sequoia's Diamond Distribution Curve
SEQUOIA’S – DIAMOND DISTRIBUTION CURVE The Sequoia kimberlite complex has one of the largest surface geophysical expressions of all the kimberlites in the Lac de Gras district. The Green line curve is the raw plot of the Sequoia caustic fusion results. The Dark Blue line is the Jack Pine results. Th
Slide 11: Sequoia – Geophysics
SEQUOIA – GEOPHYSICS Arctic Star recently completed a 75m spaced Resolve Helicopter based geophysical survey. The Sequoia images are results from this survey. Sequoia has New Target associated Magnetic and EM anomalies, but they don’t exactly overlap. New Target A conductive kimberlite rock type is
Slide 12: Sequoia – Geophysics Continued
SEQUOIA – GEOPHYSICS CONTINUED Images of ground geophysical surveys Gravity, Gravity EM, Magnetics, mirror the data from the airborne survey. It is thought the gravity low anomaly, Blue area In the top Image maps the complex. The separate EM 50m slice EM anomalies and mag anomalies are thought to Oh
Slide 13: Sequoia – Drilling Plans
SEQUOIA – DRILLING PLANS Sequoia’s Gravity anomaly, discovery drill holes are in Red. Proposed drill holes are in orange. Two drill holes at each location, one vertical and one angled at each site. Ten holes with approximately 1000m. Blue diamonds are drill holes into the historical Jack Pine Kimber
Slide 14: Mineable Kimberlites in Lac de Gras
MINEABLE KIMBERLITES IN LAC DE GRAS Kimberlite Grade $/ct $/T List of kimberlites from the Lac de Gras field being mined or in a Fox 0.27ct/t $312 $84 mine plan, with grade, value of Misery 4.5ct/t $112 $504 the diamonds, and the worth of the kimberlite based on a Sable 0.9ct/t $140 $126 $/tonne bas
Slide 15: Is Sequoia Mineable?
IS SEQUOIA MINEABLE? Is Sequoia mineable? The short answer is it could be. The current microdiamond results are suggesting a grade between 0.3ct/t and 0.6ct/t. Lets use 0.5ct/t for our example in Red. Sequoia The graph to the left shows the value per tonne versus the cash cost to mine for various mi
Slide 16: Sequoia – Diamonds
SEQUOIA – DIAMONDS There are Three Lines of Evidence at Sequoia that are Encouraging for the Presence of Larger Gems 1. Sequoia’s size frequency curve has a shallow gradient suggesting a coarse diamond population. The extra caustic fusion results from the planned Spring 2022 drill program will give
