After markets closed on Friday, a micro-cap mining company announced a major project acquisition, sparking increased investor interest this morning.

Shares of Inspiration Energy Corp. (CSE: ISP) (OTCID: ISPNF) are on the move higher today as the company has signed a definitive agreement to acquire full ownership of the 76,000-acre Rottenstone West Project in northern Saskatchewan. This district-scale property positions the company among the largest landholders in the region, which is quickly emerging as one of Canada’s most promising new volcanogenic massive sulfide (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, 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."

The acquisition covers 31,011 hectares in the Rottenstone Domain, adjacent to Ramp Metals’ (TSX-Venture: RAMP) discoveries at Rottenstone SW. It lies on the same geological trend that hosts notable showings such as 73.55 g/t gold over 7.5 metres at the Ranger and 1.61% copper at the Rush VMS discovery. Historical work dating back to the 1950s identified several massive sulfide occurrences, many of which remain unexplored with modern techniques, offering strong discovery potential in one of the world’s top-ranked mining jurisdictions.

Shares of ISP are currently up 3.33% to $0.155, while U.S. listed shares (ISPNF) surge 8.85% to $0.1132 in late-morning trading.
