Inspiration Energy Applies for Drill Permit at Rottenstone North Gold Project

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 9, 2025) - Inspiration Energy Corp. (CSE: ISP) (WKN: A40GPX) (OTC Pink: ISPNF) ("Inspiration" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has submitted a drill permit application to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment for its 100% owned Rottenstone North Gold Project (the "Project"), located in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada, approximately 115 kilometers North of La Ronge, Saskatchewan. The Project consists of 1 mineral claim covering approximately 4,512 hectares.

Inspiration's Project is directly northwest and borders Ramp Metals Inc.'s (TSX-V: RAMP) Rottenstone SW gold project (Figure 1) which reported multiple gold zones from discovery hole Ranger-01 that included 73.55 g/t Au and 19.50 g/t Ag over 7.5 metres from 227 m, including 182 g/t Au and 60.8 g/t Ag over 1.5 m from 230.0 metres (Ramp Metals news release dated June 17, 2024). In December 2024, Ramp Metals Inc. also announced very encouraging news, stating they had discovered new target zones on their discovery. One of these new zones, the Rush target, is directly bordering Inspiration's Project. Inspiration management cautions that past results or discoveries on properties in proximity to Inspiration may not necessarily be indicative of the presence of similar mineralization on the Company's properties.

The Project is located within the Rottenstone Domain, a regional northeast-southwest geological corridor, that includes the past producing Rottenstone nickel-copper-platinum group elements-gold mine (Ni-Cu-PGE-Au), which from 1965-1968 produced some 26,057 tonnes of high-grade grading 3.28% Ni, 1.83% Cu and 9.63 g/t Pt+Pd+Au (Saskatchewan Mineral Deposits Index #09587).

"This is a significant step for Inspiration and a signal of renewed focus on the growth of the Company," stated Charles Desjardins, CEO of Inspiration. "New targets uncovered by Ramp Metals right up against our Project potentially bode well for our upcoming drill programs, upon approval of our drill permit applications. This Gold Project is at the right address in Saskatchewan, which is one of the most business and mining friendly regions in the world. We look forward to getting drill equipment and boots on the ground, especially in light of this new discovery right at our border. Now that we have closed two financings, the Company is going to embark on work and marketing programs starting this month. These are very exciting times for Inspiration."
