Ethos commences drilling at its La Purisima gold project,

Chihuahua, Mexico

Vancouver, BC – June 10, 2019, Ethos Gold Corp. (“E thos” or the “Company”) (TSXV:ECC)

(OTCQB: ETHOF) is pleased to announce the commencement of its maiden drill program at the

La Purisima gold project in north-west Chihuahua St ate, Mexico. The initial program will

comprise approximately 3,000 meters of reverse circ ulation (“RC”) drilling in a planned 15 RC

holes. The drilling will target near surface, bulk tonnage, oxide gold mineralization.

At La Purisima a northwest trending gold mineralize d zone has been identified over a strike

length of at least 2 km with a width of alteration and geochemically anomalous gold

mineralization of approximately 600 metres. Within this footprint are two north-west striking

zones that have the strongest gold anomalies, each approximately 200 metres wide. One of

these zones (the "Purisima Vein Zone") strikes for at least 2 km, and the other (the "Stockwork

Zone") strikes for at least 1 km. Both zones appear to extend under the alluvial valley cover

consisting of gravel and soil deposits. Gold and si lver mineralization is mainly contained in

epithermal quartz veins and veinlets forming stockworks and sheets in both volcanic flow rocks

and older discordant sedimentary rocks. As announc ed in Ethos’ May 22 news release, results

from recent trenching include:

• T1 – 0.49 g/t Au over 118m, including 1.13 g/t Au o ver 20m, and 0.76g/t Au over 24m

(Purisima Vein Zone), and separately 4.17g/t Au over 5.4m (Stockwork Zone)

• T2 – 0.47 g/t Au over 127m including 1.11 g/t Au over 40m (Purisima Vein Zone)

• T3 – 0.84 g/t Au over 10m and 6.51 g/t Au over 2m (both Stockwork Zone)

Ethos is earning into 100% ownership of the La Puri sima project under two separate earn-in

agreements (see our December 1, 2017 and August 27, 2018 news releases). The project is

located in an area of low, non-mountainous, relief with excellent road access and infrastructure.

The concessions are located on private ranch land n ear active agricultural centers. A long-term

annual fee based property access agreement has been signed with the main ranch land owner.

Commented Craig Roberts, P.Eng., President and CEO of Ethos: “We are excited to have initiated

our maiden drill program at La Purisima. We are en couraged by the recent trench results that

show disseminated gold mineralization over significant intervals outside of the primary veins in

the Purisima Vein Zone, and also by the new high-gr ade intervals identified in the Stockwork

Zone. We look forward drill testing this target an d reporting initial drill results in the near

future.”

About Ethos Gold

Ethos Gold is exploring the La Purisima gold projec t (earning 100%) in Chihuahua Mexico, the

Iron Point Carlin gold project (earning 50% from Vi ctory Metals Inc: TSX-V: VMX) 22 miles east

of Winnemucca, Nevada, and the Perk-Rocky copper-gold porphyry project (earning 100%), 220

km west of Williams Lake, British Columbia. La Pur isima is a near surface, bulk tonnage, oxide

gold target, and a maiden drill program has now commenced. Iron Point is a Lower Plate hosted

Carlin-style gold target, and a planned program of three vertical holes to test this target will

commence shortly under the supervision of Dr. Quint on Hennigh. Perk-Rocky is a copper-gold

porphyry target, and an exploration program including detailed airborne geophysics and ground

mapping and sampling will commence shortly. Ethos also owns approximately 8% of the equity

of Carlin Type Holdings Ltd., a private company ear ning into 100% ownership of three Nevada

exploration projects, including two deep Carlin-type targets (Carlin East and Swift), at least one

of which will be drill tested in 2019.

Ethos is also earning into the Pine Pass and Ursula vanadium projects (100% earn-in) in north-

central British Columbia. In March 2019 Ethos recei ved notice from the Province of British

Columbia that the mineral tenures making up its Pine Pass vanadium project are included in an

area under consideration for an immediate moratorium on development proposals and possible

inclusion in an expanded environmental protected ar ea, and Ethos is now waiting on the

resolution of this issue before proceeding with further work.

Ethos currently has cash of approximately C$6.5 million and 54.8 million shares issued.
