Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 17, 2025) - Inspiration Energy Corp. (CSE: ISP) (WKN: A40GPX) (OTCID: ISPNF) ("Inspiration" or the "Company") a Canadian precious and base metal exploration company, is pleased to announce the granting of a drill permit to allow drilling on the Rottenstone North Gold Project ("Rottenstone North"), northern Saskatchewan (Figure 1). Inspiration is one of the largest landholders in what is rapidly emerging as one of Canada's most exciting new volcanogenic massive sulfide ("VMS") and gold exploration districts.

The Rottenstone North Project (4,512 ha), along with the acquisition of the Rottenstone West Project (31,011 ha) this past August (see Company news release August 22, 2025), brings the total coverage of this exciting new VMS-gold district and trend to over 35,500 ha (86,487 acres) (Figure 1).

The Rottenstone North and West gold and base metal projects (the "Projects") are located immediately west and southwest of Ramp Metals Inc.'s ("Ramp") discoveries on their copper-gold sulphide targets at Rush (see Ramp Metals Inc. news release April 29, 2015) and Ranger (see Ramp Metals Inc. news release June 17, 2015).

"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, CEO 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 land holdings, advanced geophysics, and near-term drill readiness, positions the Company to participate meaningfully in one of Canada's most promising new discovery corridors.

The Projects are located along the same northeast-southwest trending geological structures that host multiple high-grade showings in the region, including 73.55 g/t Au over 7.5 metres at the Ranger Showing and 1.61% Cu at the Rush VMS discovery (see Ramp's news release dated June 17, 2024). Notably, historical work on the Rottenstone West Project identified multiple massive sulfide occurrences as early as the 1950s (https://inspiration.energy/assets/73P13-0006_Eula-Lake-Property-Report.pdf). 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. (https://www.fraserinstitute.org/studies/annual-survey-mining-companies-2024).

Recently, at the 100%-owned Rottenstone North Gold Project, the Company 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. The planned drilling program, scheduled for early 2026, 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.
