The company is exploring for nickel deposits on its Langmuir property near Timmins, Ontario; for nickel-gold-copper on its Cleaver and Douglas properties; and for molybdenum and rare earth elements at recently acquired Desrosiers property.
I am going to get a better table in the photo section and then throw it on here later for the tables 1 and 2. Buxom might find info like this handy ( 126 holes on LN alone) Performance Summary The main focus of Inspiration Mining Corporation in the Timmins Area was completion of the definition diamond drilling at the Langmuir No.1 Mine site and the Langmuir North Zone along with advancing the projects to the next evaluation level. That evaluation includes consolidating results in the form of NI 43-101 resource estimations and metallurgical analysis. Work has also included towards converting the Langmuir mineral claims into leasing surface and mining rights. Discussions with the First Nations have been opened. Additionally, environmental permitting work is underway. Preparations and applying for Advance Exploration status with the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. In that regard, the Company has engaged Micon International Ltd. of Toronto, Ontario to commence analysis for NI 43-101 resource estimation of the nickel mineralization at both the Langmuir North Zone and Langmuir No.1 Mine. SGS Mineral Services of Lakefield, Ontario has been contracted to complete metallurgical analysis of the nickel mineralization zones encountered at the North Zone and Langmuir No.1 Mine. Inspiration submitted a request to the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines for the leasing of the mining and surface rights and has contracted Sutcliffe Rody Quesnel Inc., Ontario Land Surveyors, of Timmins, Ontario to conduct the necessary land surveys for the leasing process. The company has commenced the process of applying for Advance Exploration status with the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines for the Langmuir No.1 Mine site. This process involves governmental filings for various environmental permits and constructive discussions with representative of the First Nations in the Timmins area. Inspiration has engaged Blue Heron Solutions for Environmental Management Inc. of Timmins to assist in the permitting process. AMEC Earth and Environmental, Sudbury, Ontario office, has also been engaged to provide technical services for environmental baseline and groundwater studies, in addition to completing specific permit applications such as a Permit To Take Water for dewatering activities associated with the Langmuir No. 1 Mine. The company has engaged Geotech Ltd of Aurora, Ontario to complete an airborne electromagnetic VTEM and magnetic surveys coverage of the Langmuir, Cleaver and Douglas properties. This survey will be completed in the 4
The geo-technical support for the Langmuir project is being provided locally, such as the down-hole 3 directional surveying conducted by Reflex Instrument North America of Porcupine, Ontario; the geodetic collar locations surveyed by Talbot Engineering Services of Timmins, Ontario; surface water sampling by BZ Environmental Consulting of Timmins; and diamond drill core sample analysis by Swastika Laboratories Ltd. of Swastika, Ontario.
The combination of 3076 soil samples, 61 humus samples and 80 biogeochemical samples on the Langmuir property and the Douglas property from July 22 to November 9, 2007, have been submitted for geochemical analysis.

During this quarter, the corporation has utilized three diamond drills on the Langmuir Property. The two smaller drills capable of drill lengths to 600 metres have been used to complete the shallow infill drilling and to evaluating the nickel mineralization below the 300 metre level at the Langmuir No.1 Mine and exploration targets outside of the Langmuir No.1
