INSPIRATION CONTINUES TO PROVE OPEN PIT POTENTIAL
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
| November, 27 2006 | TSX - ISM Frankfurt- OI8 |
Toronto, Ontario - Inspiration Mining Corporation (the "Corporation" is pleased to announce the results of the continuation of their diamond drilling program on its Langmuir Project, located in Langmuir Township south of Timmins, Ontario. The Langmuir Property consists of 69 unpatented contiguous mining claim units covering approximately 1090 hectares in the north-central portion of Langmuir Township, Porcupine Mining Division, and District of Cochrane, Ontario. The property is approximately 25 km southeast of Timmins, Ontario, and hosts the past producing Langmuir No.1 Mine, and majority of the past producing Langmuir No. 2 Mine.
Inspiration continues drilling the Langmuir Project – Langmuir No.2 Mine North Zone, which is located from approximately 80m to 536m northeast of the mine shaft. The detail fill-in drill program is designed to complete the definition of the nickel bearing mineralization from sub-surface to a vertical depth of approximately 100 metres.
The following table indicates the drill information for these drill holes:

Drill holes LN06-46 to 48 inclusively, were completed on Section 3600 North and approximately 21.04m and 18.32m apart respectively. Drill hole LN06-46 is approximately 21.19m from previously released drill holes LN06-44 and LN06-45.
Drill holes LN06-49 to 51 inclusively, were drilled on Section 3575 North and approximately 15.68m and 20.61m apart respectively. Drill hole LN06-49 is approximately 12.03m north and 39.66m west (astronomic distances) of previously released drill holes LN05-6, located between Sections 3575 North and 3600 North, that contained 0.551% Ni over 41.00m (core length) or 36.20m (True Width).

Numerous feldspar porphyry and felsic dykes intruded the projected nickel mineralized zone from 45.33m to 87.15m (core length).
LN06-51 intersected feldspar porphyry and felsic dykes from the end of the casing to 65.05m (core length), which was the end of the drill hole. The dykes replaced the entire projected nickel mineralized zone.
The nickel bearing sulphide mineralization, with estimations ranging from 1% to 20% fine grained disseminations and sulphide blebs up to several centimetres in size, is contained within serpentenized to talcose serpentenized komatiitic ultramaftic extrusive flows with occasional spinifex texture.
The assaying technique used is the industry standard for base metal assaying, which uses nitric and hydrochloric acids that extracts nickel only from sulphide mineralization and not from nickel silicate minerals.
The assaying of sawn core samples was conducted by Swastika Laboratories, and included the insertion of blanks and standards. The Qualified Person in charge of the Langmuir Project and the person who prepared the technical data in this release is Kian Jensen, B.Sc., P.Geo. (Ont).
