INSPIRATION MINING MOBILIZES CREW FOR DRILLING AT ROTTENSTONE NORTH GOLD-COPPER PROJECT IN NORTHERN SASKATCHEWAN

Inspiration Mining Corp. crews have been mobilized to the drill site and drilling is expected to commence in the coming days on its Rottenstone North gold-copper project in Northern Saskatchewan. The company plans to test VMS-style (volcanogenic massive sulphide) copper-zinc-lead-silver-gold targets along the southeastern boundary of the project.

Drill holes have been planned based on geophysical anomalies and regional structural corridors interpreted to be on strike or subparallel with Ramp Metals Inc.'s Rush VMS-style copper-zinc-silver discovery. Inspiration's drill targets were prioritized based on regional geology and structural interpretation, coincident regional geophysics and remote-sensing (satellite) derived anomalies, and proximity to known mineralized trends in the area.

"These are very exciting days for exploration companies," stated Charles Desjardins, chief executive officer. "We are about to commence drilling and we are very confident in our geological setting and our systematic approach to our drill locations. We have done the home work and our direct neighbour Ramp Metals Inc. has hit 9-9 VMS in their holes drilled on trend and beside our property. Management is very optimistic about what this drill program will encounter. The coming days and weeks are the most important and transformative time in the company's history."

Inspiration is one of the largest landholders in the region, in what is rapidly emerging as one of Canada's most exciting new VMS and gold exploration districts. The company has a 100-per-cent ownership in about 35,500 hectares (87,700 acres) in the Rottenstone gold/copper camp. The project is strategically positioned along trend with recent discoveries, including Ramp Metals' Rush target, and the company is armed with cutting-edge satellite data identifying multiple gold-copper targets/trends on the project.

The Rottenstone North project (4,512 hectares), along with the acquisition of the Rottenstone West project (31,011 hectares) in August, 2026 (Inspiration news release dated Aug. 22, 2025), brings the total coverage of this exciting new VMS-gold district and trend to 35,500 hectares.

The Rottenstone North and West gold and base metal projects are located immediately west and southwest of Ramp Metals' discoveries on its copper-gold sulphide targets at Rush (Ramp Metals news release dated Feb. 20, 2014) and Ranger (Ramp Metals news release dated June 17, 2024).

Inspiration's Rottenstone properties are located along similar northeast-southwest-trending geological structures that host multiple high-grade showings in the region, including 73.55 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (Au) over 7.5 metres at the Ranger showing (Ramp Metals news release dated June 17, 2024) and 0.80 per cent copper (Cu) over 21.0 metres, which included 1.50 per cent Cu over 3.0 metres, at the Rush VMS discovery (Ramp Metals news release dated April 22, 2026).

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 (Annual Survey of Mining Companies (2025).

In July, 2025, Inspiration announced promising results from an advanced atomic mineral resonance tomography (AMRT) satellite survey that targeted specific areas of the Rottenstone North gold-copper project (company news release dated July 11, 2025). The AMRT survey identified numerous high-priority gold and copper targets along the eastern property boundary of the project that are parallel and on trend with Ramp's Rush target copper-gold-silver discovery, located just a few kilometres away. Inspiration's planned drilling program will test several of these targets.

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.
