Inspiration Intersects 0.691% NI over 9.39M
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
| September, 02 2008 | 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, 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 is continuing the drilling at the Langmuir Project – Langmuir No.2 Mine – North Zone. The detail fill-in drill program is designed to complete the definition of the nickel bearing mineralization below the 100 metre level.
The following table indicates the drill information for the North Zone drill holes:
| Drill Hole | Grid Northing (metres) | Grid Easting (metres) | Dip | Azimuth (Geodetic) | Section Northing (metres) | Section Easting (metres) | Length (m) |
| LN08-118 | 2998.14 | 1964.69 | -50.09 | 298.85 | 3578.81 | 202.4 | 211.19 |
| LN08-119 | 2997.79 | 1965.21 | -60.71 | 297.8 | 3578.77 | 203.03 | 235.17 |
| LN08-120 | 2997.65 | 1965.48 | -70.08 | 297.87 | 3578.78 | 203.33 | 282.85 |
| LN08-121 | 3192.14 | 1869.23 | -50.03 | 300.75 | 3699.09 | 22.73 | 411.4 |
| LN08-122 | 3391.64 | 1923.61 | -55.02 | 293.93 | 3899.05 | -29.92 | 302.21 |
| LN08-123 | 3258.33 | 1756.38 | -52.38 | 298.73 | 3699.98 | -108.09 | 479.92 |
Drill holes LN08-118 to LN08-123 inclusively were completed from the same drill setup located approximately 15.3 metres east of previously released drill holes LN05-3 containing 0.828% Ni over 7.00m (core length) or 5.57m true width.
Drill hole LN08-118 intersected the nickel mineralization approximately 23 metres down dip and additional sections that were dyked out in drill hole LN05-3.
Drill hole LN08-119 was approximately 36.2 metres down dip from hole LN08-118 and approximately 139 metres vertical below surface.
Drill hole LN08-120 appears to have intersected the area below the plunge of the nickel bearing mineralization.
Three exploration holes, LN08-121 to LN08-123, were located west of the North Zone nickel mineralization to evaluate ground geophysical anomalies and the basal till nickel anomaly. All holes returned anomalous nickel values.
The following assay results for drill holes LN08-118 to LN08-123 at the Langmuir No.2 Mine – North Zone have been received, compiled and condensed to the following:
| Drill Hole | From (m) | To (m) | Core Length (m) | True Width (m) | Core Length (ft) | True Width (ft) | Weighted Average Ni (%) | |
| LN08-118 | 135.7 | 146.9 | 11.2 | 9.39 | 36.75 | 30.81 | 0.691 | |

The nickel bearing sulphide mineralization, with estimations ranging from 1% to 20% fine-grained disseminatations up to massive 100% sulphides, is contained within 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 split 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), who is an arm's length party retained by the Company to carry out its exploration program on the Langmuir Project.
