TORONTO, ONTARIO, Nov. 4, 2009 (Marketwire) -- Inspiration Mining Corporation ("Inspiration" or the "Corporation") (TSX:ISM)(FRANKFURT:OI8) is pleased to announce that further to its various press releases, Nitinat Minerals Corporation ("Nitinat"), an arm's length third party to the Corporation, has completed its initial public offering and will commence trading through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange on Monday November 9, 2009 under the symbol "NZZ".

Pursuant to a purchase agreement dated December 1, 2007 but effective as at July 30, 2007, the Corporation received an aggregate of 13,367,904common shares (the "Shares") in the capital of Nitinat upon the automatic exercise of the 13,367,904 special warrants previously issued to the Corporation. The Shares are subject to a twelve (12) month hold period. Upon the expiration of the hold period, the Corporation will evaluate all options available to it with respect to the Shares including the proposal, which is subject to the prior approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"), to distribute up to 100% of the Shares on a pro rata basis to all of the Corporation's shareholders as at July 30, 2007. There can be no assurance that the Shares will be distributed to the Corporation's shareholders.

Management believes that, on the closing of its initial public offering, Nitinat has the necessary funds to develop the Jasper Property and that the Corporation will be rewarded as Nitinat unlocks the true value of the Jasper Property.

The Jasper Property claims are located in the Victoria Mining Division, southwestern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The property is approximately 80 kilometres northwest of Victoria. The southern portion of the claims overlie much of the Caycuse River and its tributaries Four Mile Creek and Seven Mile Creek, extend northwards over the height of land to the tributaries of Jasper Creek, and westwards to a no staking reserve along the eastern shore of the Nitinat River. The Jasper Property consists of the Jas 3 legacy mineral claim and nine cell mineral claims that comprise ten contiguous claims which total 6,615 hectares. The property is currently 100% owned by Inspiration.

The Jasper Property does not constitute all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and as such shareholder approval is not required for the divesture.
