Inspiration Intersects 1.390% Ni Over 7.61m or 24.97ft and 1.179%Ni Over 14.03m or 46.03ft (True Width)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
| May, 14 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

Drillholes L108-107 and L108-108 were completed from the same setup locatednorth of the underground development. Hole L108-107 failed to intersectthe nickel mineralization due to the presence of a large felsicintrusive dyke.
Drill hole L108-108 intersected a newmineralized zone approximately 16.5 metre below surface returning1.149% Ni over 2.07 metres (true width). The high-grade nickelmineralization of 2.591% Ni over 3.15 metres and containing 6.687% Niover 0.82 metres (true width) is approximately 12 metres down dip frompreviously released drill hole L107-51 and approximately 22.7 metres updip from previously released drill hole L106-16.
Drill holeL108-109 intersected the East Zone approximately 26.8 metres down dipfrom previously released drill hole L106-19 and approximately 18.5metres up dip from previously released drill hole L107-33.
Drillhole L108-110 intersected high-grade nickel mineralization of 1.179% Niover 14.03 metres or 46.03 feet (true width) approximately 16.4 metresand 30.0 metres down dip from previously released drill hole L105-1 andthe 315 foot mine level, respectively.
The following assayresults for drill holes L108-107 to L108-110 at the former LangmuirNo.1 Mine have been received, compiled and condensed to the following:

Thenickel bearing sulphide mineralization, with estimations ranging from1% to 20% fine-grained disseminated up to massive 100% sulphides, iscontained within serpentenized komatiitic ultramaftic extrusive flowswith occasional spinifex texture.
The assaying technique usedis the industry standard for base metal assaying, which uses nitric andhydrochloric 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).
