FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
| May, 06 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.1 Mine. The detail fill-in drillprogram is designed to complete the definition of the nickel bearingmineralization below the 300-foot mine level to a vertical depth ofapproximately 900 feet below surface.
The following table indicates the drill information for the Langmuir No. 1 Mine drill holes:

Drillholes L1-102 to L1-104 were drill from the same set up. The nickelmineralization in hole L108-102 from 134.00 to 136.27 metres is locatedapproximately 13.5 metres east of known underground development. Theintersection of massive sulphides from 143.69 to 144.49 metres islocated approximately 16.5 metres down dip from the 315 foot minelevel. The high-grade nickel mineralization of 1.808% Ni over 2.52metres (true width) from 172.16 to 175.20 metres is located 35.2 metresbelow the 315 foot mine level and is 8.7 metres down dip frompreviously released drill hole L107-41, which returned 0.399% Ni over1.28 metres (true width).
Drill holes L108-103 and L108-104intersected anomalous and lower-grade nickel mineralization below thesoutherly plunging West Zone.
Drill hole L108-105 was designedto intersect the West Zone below the 315 foot mine level. Thehigh-grade nickel mineralization of 3.454% Ni over 2.69 metres (truewidth) is approximately 24 metres up dip from previously released drillhole L107-60.
Drill hole L108-106 was planned to intersect theWest Zone approximately 40 metres down dip of the 315 foot level. Thehigh-grade nickel mineralization of 1.652% Ni over 5.66 metrescontaining 3.053% Ni over 2.66 metres (true widths) was intersectedapproximately 32.5 metres down dip from the 315 foot mine level.
Thefollowing assay results for drill holes L108-102 to L108-106 at theformer Langmuir No.1 Mine have been received, compiled and condensed tothe 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),who is an arm's length party retained by the Company to carry out itsexploration program on the Langmuir Project.
