Ethos Reports Re-assay of 33 trench samples averages 13% higher
V2O5 grades
Vancouver, BC – December 12, 2018, Ethos Gold Corp. (“ Ethos ” or the “ Company ”)
(TSXV:ECC) (OTCQB: ETHOF) has now received lithium metaborate fusion assay results for 33
check assays from the 2018 trench sampling program from its Pine Pass vanadium project. The
lithium metaborate fusion assay allows for more com plete digestion of mineral species versus
the ICP-MS with 4 acid-digestion method that has be en used to assay all samples processed to
date. For these 33 check samples, the fusion resul ts were consistently higher versus the ICP-
MS with 4 acid-digestion method, with the fusion as says returning approximately 13% higher
V2O5 grades. To illustrate, if the fusion re-assay of a sample with an original 0.45% V 2O5 ICP-
MS assay returned this average increase, the fusion assay result would be 0.45% x 1.13 =
0.51% V2O5 (this is just illustrative, the actual fusion re-a ssay result may vary significantly from
the average). Within the check assay batch, black shale samples averaged 11% higher in
grade and grey siltstones averaged 16% higher in grade. The Company is now proceeding with
re-assay by the fusion method of all samples from T renches 1 and 2 and also of the continuous
rock chip sampling along the John Hart Highway road cut, and will report these results once
received.
QA/QC, Qualified Person, and Contact
All prior samples were delivered to ALS Chemex in K amloops and/or North Vancouver, British
Columbia for analysis of select elements by ICP-MS analysis using 4 acid-digestion. As noted
these check assays utilized lithium metaborate fusi on analysis followed by acid dissolution.
Quality control entailed insertion of company stand ards, blanks, and duplicates into the trench
sample stream. In addition, ALS Chemex routinely in serted blanks and standards into the
sample stream at the assay laboratory. All reported standard and blank assay values, as well as
duplicates were within an acceptable margin of error. Work at Pine Pass is being supervised by
Jo Price, M.Sc., MBA, P .Geo, VP Exploration of the Company. She is a Qualified Person as
defined under National Instrument 43-101 and has read and approved this release.
