Initial Vanadium Sampling Results Received
Ethos Increases Land Position and Commences Trenching Program
Vancouver, BC – September 25, 2018, Ethos Gold Corp . (“ Ethos ” or the “ Company ”)
(TSXV:ECC) (OTCQX:ETHOF) is pleased to announce pro gress at its Pine Pass and Ursula
vanadium projects in in north-eastern British Colum bia approximately 70 kilometers west of
Chetwynd, and 200 kilometers north of Prince George.
Assays from initial soil, stream sediment and rock sampling programs completed in early August
2018 on both projects have now been received. A to tal of 410 soil samples were assayed with
results ranging from trace up to a maximum of 5,700 ppm V (1.02% V2O5). Additionally 80 rock
samples were assayed with results ranging from trac e to up to a maximum of 3,540 ppm V
(0.63% V2O5). An additional 21 stream and silt sample assays ranged from trace to up to a
maximum of 1,510 ppm V (0.27% V2O5).
Pine Pass Vanadium Project
The Pine Pass sediment hosted vanadium property con tains one or more mineralized horizons
within a shallowly NW plunging syncline. The fold nose of the vanadiferous horizon is exposed
in road cuts along the John Hart Highway where a se mi-continuous section of mineralized rock
is exposed over a +100 meter wide section.
First pass exploration in July/August (Phase 1) focused on tracing the mineralized zone(s) along
strike to the NW. The program was successful in tr acing the mineralized horizons for
approximately 10 km. A second exploration program is now underway (Phase 2) and will
include detailed soil sampling, trenching, rock sam pling and geological mapping. To date the
program has delineated the mineralized horizons on the east and west limbs of the syncline.
Work will continue at least until early October or as weather permits.
Based on these results Ethos has now increased its claim area at Pine Pass to 3,752 Ha to
cover additional prospective areas.
Ursula Vanadium Project
At the Ursula property, Phase 1 soil, rock and stre am sediment sampling outlined similar strata-
bound, sediment hosted vanadium mineralization. Ut ilizing these results, current Phase 2 work
2
at Ursula includes soil and stream sediment samplin g as well as trenching, sampling and
geological mapping. The goal of this work is to ou tline the dimensions of the vanadiferous
horizon(s).
Based on these results Ethos has now increased its claim area at Ursula to 3,564 Ha to cover
additional prospective areas.
Phase 2 Work Program
Ethos has allocated a budget of approximately C$270 ,000 for the Phase 2 work at Pine Pass
and Ursula. Should ground conditions remain favora ble, it is expected that up to 5,000m of soil
sampling transects and 600m of hand trenching will be conducted in Phase 2. Phase 2 results
are expected to help delineate targets for trenchin g and/or diamond drilling in subsequent
exploration work.
QA/QC, Qualified Person, and Contact
All samples were delivered to ALS Chemex in North Vancouver, British Columbia for analysis of
select elements by ICP-MS analysis using 4 acid-dig estion. Quality control entailed ALS
Chemex inserted blanks and standards into the sampl e stream. Reported standard and blank
assay values were within an acceptable margin of er ror. Analysis of trench samples as part of
Phase 2 work program includes insertion of company standards and blanks in addition to ALS
Chemex inserted reference materials.
Work at Pine Pass and Ursula is being supervised by Jo Price, M.Sc., MBA, P .Geo who has
been retained by Ethos on a consulting basis. Mel Herdrick, a director of and consultant to the
Company, is a Qualified Person as defined under Nat ional Instrument 43-101, has read and
approves this release.
