Inspiration Intersects Wide Nickel Mineralization
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
| April, 24 2008 | TSX - ISM Frankfurt- OI8 |
InspirationMining Corporation (the "Corporation")(TSX: ISM)(FRANKFURT: OI8) ispleased to announce the results of the continuation of their diamonddrilling program on its Langmuir Project, located in Langmuir Townshipsouth of Timmins, Ontario. The Langmuir Property consists of 69unpatented contiguous mining claim units covering approximately 1090hectares in the north-central portion of Langmuir Township, PorcupineMining Division, and District of Cochrane, Ontario. The property isapproximately 25 km southeast of Timmins, Ontario, and hosts the pastproducing Langmuir No.1 Mine, and majority of the past producingLangmuir No. 2 Mine.
Inspiration is continuing the drilling atthe Langmuir Project -- Langmuir No.2 Mine -- North Zone. The detailfill-in drill program is designed to complete the definition of thenickel bearing mineralization to the 100 metre level.
The following table indicates the drill information for the North Zone drill holes:

Drillholes LN07-93 to LN07-95, inclusively were drilled on the same sectionline. Drill Hole LN07-93 is approximately 16 metres down dip frompreviously released drill hole LN06-32, while drill holes LN07-94 andLN07-95 are approximately 25 metres and 52 metres down dip fromLN07-93, respectively.
Drill holes LN07-96 and LN07-97 arelocated approximately 26 metres east of previously released drill holeLN05-13, and approximately 23 metres and 48 metres down dip fromLN05-13, respectively.
Drill hole LN07-98 is locatedapproximately 26.8 metres north and 14.5 metres east of previouslyreleased drill hole LN05-13 and represents the furthest northerly drillhole on the North Zone.
The following assay results for drillholes LN07-93 to LN07-98 at the Langmuir No.2 Mine - North Zone havebeen received, compiled and condensed to the following:

Thenickel bearing sulphide mineralization, with estimations ranging from1% to 20% fine-grained disseminatations up to massive 100% sulphides,is contained within serpentenized komatiitic ultramaftic extrusiveflows with occasional spinifex texture.
The assaying techniqueused is the industry standard for base metal assaying, which usesnitric and hydrochloric acids that extracts nickel only from sulphidemineralization and not from nickel silicate minerals.
Theassaying of split core samples was conducted by Swastika Laboratories,and included the insertion of blanks and standards. The QualifiedPerson in charge of the Langmuir Project and the person who preparedthe technical data in this release is Kian Jensen, B.Sc., P.Geo. (Ont).
