Reclamation of the Koala and Panda Underground workings is required prior to processed kimberlite deposition and pit flooding activities. As part of this process, Dominion Diamond Ekati ULC s strategy is to leave the entire underground conveyor system intact, and complete the following remediation actions: Drain hydraulic oil from all gearboxes, hydraulic take ups, and other units as applicable; and Purge grease from pulleys and other non-sealed units and replace with Mobile SHC Grease 102 EAL (per GNWT Lands Authorization to use biodegradable grease underground memorandum - dated July 18) This technical memorandum and supporting documentation seeks authorization to leave the conveyor idler rollers underground. This request is driven by the safety risks associated with the removal of the rollers, and the low potential for any environmental effect. SAFETY RISKS In order to remove the idler rollers, the conveyor belt would need to be removed. This work requires clamping and cutting of the belt, which poses significant risk to workers who would be working at heights in tight quarters. There is an additional risk to damaging the roof support while working with mobile equipment near the connections between the conveyor frame and walls/roof of the mine. Damage to the roof supports poses a significant risk, as it compromises the ground conditions. These concerns, combined with other hazards associated with working in an underground environment, have the potential to result in injuries and represent a risk to worker health and safety. LOW POTENTIAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS The low potential for environmental effects associated with leaving the idler rollers in place is a result of the following items: Record #:HSE RCD ENV 1036 Document Owner: Environment Department Date:25-July-18 Template # EKA TEM

42 Dominion Diamond Ekati ULC Street SW (403) Calgary, Alberta T2P 1T1 (403) fax 1. The Idler Rollers have limited quantities of hydrophilic grease, that if released individually would be below the reportable spill threshold and would not be considered a spill; 2. The grease is classified as inherently biodegradable and is not a TDG regulated substance (MSDS); and 3. The water pressure exerted on the bearings will enhance the stability of the grease in situ. 1. Idlers and Roller Grease Volumes In an effort to determine the total amount of grease per bearing, Dominion contacted the roller manufacturer, Luff Industries Ltd., and requested that the manufacturer provide a technical memorandum detailing the anticipated volumes of grease within each component (Appendix A). Idlers provided by Luff Industries are factory packed, sealed bearings that are run to failure. Individual release of grease from bearings would be well below the reportable spill volume of L. Upon review of the conveyance systems specifications, the following represents a summary of Idlers and Rollers that contain grease within the Panda and Koala conveyor system: Table 1: Grease in Panda/Koala Conveyor System Luff Description Quantity Grease Volume per Grease Volume (L) Installed unit (L) 6" Steel Roller CEMA D " Impact Roller CEMA D " Steel Return Roller CEMA D 6" Steel Roller CEMA D c/w High Moisture Seal 4" Urethane Guide Roller " Rubber Disc Return Idler CEMA E 6" Disc Return Roller CEMA D 6" Rubber Disc Return Roller CEMA D 6" Steel Roller CEMA E Total Grease Volume (L) Biodegradable Grease Esso Epic EP-102 used in the conveyor system is both a non-tdg classified substance and classified as inherently biodegradable.

43 Dominion Diamond Ekati ULC Street SW (403) Calgary, Alberta T2P 1T1 (403) fax 3. Water Action and Bearing Response As the main bearing housings are not completely full of grease there will be air space within the cavity. Once the mine is flooded water could be forced through the labyrinth seals and into the bearing housing. The water will either displace the air out of the housing or compress the trapped air within the housing. Some water will end up in the bearing housing that contains the grease. The grease should not be displaced as it will not compress, has a high viscosity rating, and low emulsion factor (will not mix with water easily should it stay in current state). Once water enters the bearing house, inside the sealed bearing, there will not be any water flow through the grease containment. When the mine is completely flooded the water pressure on the bearings will be equal in all different directions to hold the grease in location. Once the underground workings are flooded there is no expectation of significant current or flow allowing no grease movement. CLOSING Dominion is seeking the Inspector s approval to leave in place the idler rollers associated with the Panda and Koala conveyor system at the Ekati mine because the safety concerns associated with removing the idler rollers from the underground outweigh the low potential for environmental effects associated with leaving the idler rollers in place. Thank you for your consideration of this request.

52 Lands - North Slave Region July 31 th 18 Dominion Diamond Mine Koala Area Mining th St. SW Lease 76D/10-2 Calgary AB, X2P 1T1 Attn: April Hayward Superintendent, Environment Re: Underground Closure Request to leave the underground conveyor system intact following closure Dear Ms. Hayward, This letter is in response to a request submitted by Dominion Diamond Mine on July 25 th 18, to leave the entire underground conveyor system intact following closure. The Inspector has reviewed Dominion Diamond s request to leave the entire underground conveyor system intact and agrees with the proposal. Removal and disposal of the conveyor system would create legitimate safety concerns with working at heights and in tight quarters. Additional safety risks have been noted using mobile equipment in and around the conveyor system, and the walls and roof of the mine. Dominion Diamond has demonstrated that leaving the roller bearings in situ will result in a low potential for environmental effects. All idler roller bearings are sealed and grease contained within these bearings will likely remain within the sealed unit. It has also been brought to the Inspectors attention that the water pressure exerted on the bearings will enhance the stability of the grease in situ. The Inspector has also provided an authorization letter dated July th 18 to use non-toxic biodegradable Mobile SHC Grease 102 EAL in the larger serviceable bearings. The Inspector hereby grants authorization to leave the conveyor system intact underground with the following conditions: Drain hydraulic oil from all gearboxes, hydraulic take ups, and other units as applicable. All gearboxes, hydraulic take ups and other applicable units in the underground Government of the Northwest Territories, 140 Bristol Avenue, Yellowknife, N.W.T. Canada X1A 3T2

Reclamation of the Koala and Panda Underground workings is required prior to processed kimberlite deposition and pit flooding activities. As a form of progressive reclamation, Dominion plans to utilize biodegradable grease (Mobile SHC Grease 102 EAL) on pullies of the Panda/Koala conveyor system and for any other required purposes. It is anticipated that by following the regular maintenance schedule already in place for underground workings, the majority of grease in the underground workings could be replaced with a biodegradable product that will not need to be purged from the system at closure. Dominion s intention is to leave the product in place upon closure of underground working and Dominion is seeking the Inspector s approval to do so. Domionion s decision to use Mobile SHC Grease 102 EAL and leave the product in place in the underground at closure is based on the fact that it is non hazardous and is classified as readily biodegradable as described in greater detail, below. Lubricant Biodegradability Testing Biodegredation is the chemical breakdown of materials by living organisms (or their enzymes) in the environment. Certain chemical structures are more susceptible to microbial breakdown than others; vegetable oils and synthetic esters, for example, will biodegrade more rapidly than mineral oils under the same conditions. Ultimately, biodegradation testing is used to determine if a material is inherently biodegradable or readily biodegrdable. OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) classifications give a value for the percentage of lubricant biodegradable within 28 days. Below are the requirements under the OECD testing to fit into either category: Record #:HSE RCD ENV 974 Document Owner: Environment Department Date:18-May-18 Template # EKA TEM

Grease will be replaced as required by current maintenance schedules, but it is anticipated that all grease will be replaced with Mobil SHC Grease 102 EAL by the end of operations in December 18. Dominion is commited to maintaining an adequate level of documentation to ensure the inspectors that only biodegradable grease will remain in the underground workings. In addition, a tagging system will be developed to aid in visual confirmation as to which components have been purged and replaced with Mobil SHC Grease 102. Dominion will show examples of the tagging systems and progressive reclamation through grease exchanges to GNWT Inspectors during future Panda/Koala Underground inspections leading towards final closure. Closing Dominion is seeking the Inspector s approval leave Mobil SHC Grease 102 EAL in the underground workings at closure. The Mobil SHC Grease 102 EAL is a proven product that would provide no environmental risk to water quality after the flooding of underground workings. Dominion intends to utilize this product wherever feasible for the underground workings. Dominion would like to secure the Inspector s approval to leave Mobil SHC Grease 102 EAL in place at closure before beginning the transition to using Mobil SHC Grease 102 EAL in the underground workings. The transition to Mobil SHC Grease 102 EAL is scheduled to begin in the latter half of June, 18. Thank you for your consideration of this request.

72 Lands- North Slave Region July th 18 Dominion Diamond Mine Koala Area Mining th St. SW Lease 76D/10-2 Calgary AB, X2P 1T1 Attn: April Hayward Superintendent, Environment Re: Underground Closure Request to leave biodegradable grease underground following closure Dear Ms. Hayward, This letter is in response to a request submitted by Dominion Diamond Mine on May 17 th 18, to leave biodegradable grease underground following closure. On May 17 th 18 Dominion Diamond submitted a proposal to replace all the grease used to service the underground crusher and conveyor system with a biodegradable alternative (Mobile SHC Grease 102 EAL). The intention is that with the approval of the Inspector, the grease can be left underground after closure rather than have to remove the bearings or flush them out. On July 17 th 18, the Inspector was accompanied by Dominion Diamond personnel during an inspection of the Panda/Koala underground workings. One of the purposes of this inspection was to become familiar with the location, size, volume and quantity of bearings that will be serviced with the biodegradable grease. Dominion Diamond personnel demonstrated the grease purging process to the Inspector, on one of the larger bearings attached to a sizer/crusher component. Dominion Diamond Mine will be purging the grease on all bearings initially and then service the bearings on a regular weekly schedule with the non-toxic biodegradable grease. The Inspector was informed that there are a total of 76 large bearings, and 22 smaller bearings located at the sizer/crusher on Level 1950, and along an additional six conveyors that run to the surface. The Inspector was also informed that all bearings will be physically tagged and a detailed log will be maintained on purging and greasing service intervals.
