Inspiration Energy to acquire Rottenstone West project

2025-08-22 17:02 ET - News Release

Mr. Charles Desjardins reports

INSPIRATION ENERGY ACQUIRES THE 76,000 ACRE "ROTTENSTONE WEST PROJECT", BECOMING ONE OF THE LARGEST LANDHOLDERS IN NORTHERN SASKATCHEWAN'S EMERGING VMS DISTRICT

Inspiration Energy Corp. has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in the Rottenstone West project, a district-sized mineral property in Northern Saskatchewan. With the acquisition, Inspiration becomes one of the largest landholders in what is rapidly emerging as one of Canada's most exciting new volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) and gold exploration districts.

"With over 85,000 acres now under Inspiration's control, we are now one of the largest landholders in this exciting new VMS district," stated Charles Desjardins, chief executive officer of Inspiration. "We've strategically positioned ourselves along trend with recent discoveries and have cutting-edge satellite data identifying multiple gold-copper targets. Our technical team is finalizing drilling plans right now, and we anticipate launching our first drilling program shortly."

With just over 30 million shares outstanding, Inspiration offers shareholders strong upside leverage to exploration success. Its tight capital structure, combined with large-scale landholdings, advanced geophysics and near-term drill readiness, positions the company to participate meaningfully in one of Canada's most promising new discovery corridors.

The new acquisition comprises approximately 31,011 hectares (76,640 acres) of contiguous mineral claims in the Rottenstone domain, immediately southwest of Ramp Metals Inc.'s discoveries on their Rottenstone SW property. The acquisition is located along the same northeast-southwest-trending geological structures that host multiple high-grade showings in the region, including 73.55 grams per tonne Au (gold) over 7.5 metres at the Ranger showing and 1.61 per cent Cu (copper) at the Rush VMS (volcanogenic massive sulphide) discovery (see Ramp's news release dated June 17, 2024). Notably, historical work on the Rottenstone West project identified multiple massive sulphide occurrences as early as the 1950s. These areas remain untested by modern exploration methods, presenting compelling targets for new discoveries within a top-tier mining jurisdiction, as ranked by the Fraser Institute.

This acquisition significantly complements Inspiration's adjacent, 100-per-cent-owned Rottenstone North gold project, where the company recently completed an advanced atomic mineral resonance tomography (AMRT) satellite survey. The AMRT survey identified numerous high-priority gold and copper targets along the eastern property boundary of Rottenstone North -- parallel and on trend with Ramp's Rush copper-gold-silver discovery, located just a few kilometres away. A drill permit application has been submitted, and the company is finalizing plans to commence its inaugural drilling program in the near term.

Management cautions that past results or discoveries on properties in proximity to Inspiration may not necessarily be indicative of the presence of mineralization on the company's properties.

Under the terms of the acquisition, Inspiration will acquire 100-per-cent ownership of the Rottenstone West project in exchange for a cash payment of $18,590 to reimburse staking costs, the issuance of three million common shares of the company and two million transferable share purchase warrants exercisable at 18 cents for a period of five years.

The vendors will retain a 3.0-per-cent net smelter return (NSR) royalty. The company shall have the right, at any time, to purchase from the vendors one-half (1.5 per cent) of the NSR royalty by paying the vendors the sum of $3-million. This agreement is subject to all relevant approvals.
