Inspiration Provides Revision to Its Press Release Dated February 3rd, 2011


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 16, 2011) - As a result of a review by the Ontario Securities Commission, Inspiration Mining Corporation ("Inspiration" or the "Corporation") (TSX:ISM)(FRANKFURT:OI8) is issuing the following press release to clarify its disclosure in its press release of February 3, 2011.

The Langmuir property comprises 69 mining claims covering 1121 hectares in the Langmuir Township, 25 km southeast of Timmins, Ontario. It hosts the majority of the past nickel producing mines of Langmuir No. 1 and 2. Two main deposits were drilled and identified by Inspiration Mining on which inferred nickel resources were estimated at 1.7 Mt @ 0.51% for Langmuir 1 and 8.3 Mt @ 0.4% Ni for Langmuir North deposits (43-101 Micon Report, Jan 2010).

In addition to successfully increasing the resource at Langmuir 1 and Langmuir North, extensive exploration drilling in 2008 and 2010 in the northeast extension of Langmuir 1 deposit has provided the definition of three (3) mineralized zones, corresponding to adjacent stratigraphic ultramafic and mafic NE-trending horizons dipping to the southeast.

- L1Extension is the main mineralized zones located 300 m northeast of the Langmuir 1 deposit. It is mostly hosted in ultramafic and mafic komatiitic flows in contact with underlying intermediate volcanic and intrusive felsic sequences to the NW and contains high grade nickel sulfide intersections. A total of 25 holes were drilled on the zone with the following selected intersections:

In the recent press releases of Nov 2, 2010 and Feb 3, 2011, selected intersection from hole L1-10-01, 02, 05, 06 and 07 were quoted to outline either the potential for high grade nickel zones in the extension of Langmuir 1 deposit or low grade / high tonnage stratigraphically located below or above the Langmuir 1 deposit zone. For further clarity, the following table lists all intersections using a 0.2% Ni cut off grade. It should be noted that all lengths are apparent thickness and that most of angles are relatively steep with respect to core axis.

Results from L1-10-12 are pending. Chromium values were revealed in L1-10-01, 12 m @ 0.29% and in L1-10-04, 16 m @ 0.24% Cr with maximum concentration of 0.39 and 0.35% Cr, likely related to chromite. Its potential will be further investigated in metallurgical studies.

- L1Ramp is a mineralized zone located stratigraphically below the intermediate and felsic sequences immediately underlying the Langmuir1 deposit zone, mostly hosted in intrusive mafic and ultramafic rocks and contains low-grade nickel intersections. A total of 13 holes were drilled on the zone with the following selected intersections:

Results from holes L1-10-11 and L1-10-16 are pending. In the Ramp zone, the continuity of Ni mineralization will be looked at and further tested for low-grade and high tonnage nickel deposit.

- L1-32-31 is a mineralized zone located stratigraphically above the Langmuir1 deposit zone and hosted in ultramafic and mafic komatiitic flows. It is in contact with overlying intermediate volcanic and felsic intrusive sequences dipping to the SE and contains low-grade Ni intersections. A total of 3 new holes were drilled on the zone with the following selected intersections:

Chromium values have been revealed in L10-07 showing 65 m @ 0.25% Cr with values up to 0.40%. The matter will be further investigated in metallurgical study as well as the potential of the zone.

In the press release dated February 3, 2011, the comparison of Langmuir to the Mt. Keith or the Talvivaara deposit in Finland was based on the premise of a high tonnage lower grade nickel deposit. The Corporation continues to undertake the exploration work necessary in order to provide the supporting evidence for such comparison.

The Qualified person in charge of the Langmuir Property and the person who prepared the technical data in this release is Andre Ciesielski, P.Geo.
