FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
| May, 22 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 below the 100 metre level.
The following table indicates the drill information for the North Zone drill holes:

Drillholes LN08-102 to LN08-104, inclusively, were drilled from the same setup and were located approximately 24 metres north and 8 metres east ofpreviously released drill holes LN07-99 to LN07-101.
Drill HoleLN08-102 is approximately 10 metres down dip of previously releaseddrill hole LN05-10 and approximately 10 metres south with the nickelmineralization ranging from 91 metres to 114 metres below surface.
DrillHole LN08-103 is approximately 29 metres down dip from LN08-102 whileLN08-104 is approximately 60 metres down dip from LN08-102 with thenickel mineralization ranging from 108 metres to 193 metres belowsurface.
The following assay results for drill holes LN08-102to LN08-104 at the Langmuir No.2 Mine - North Zone have been 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).
