La Purisima Gold Project Update

La Purisima Gold Project Update
Vancouver, BC – September 27, 2018, Ethos Gold Corp . (“ Ethos ” or the “ Company ”)
(TSXV:ECC) (OTCQX:ETHOF) is pleased to announce progress on its La Purisima gold project
in Chihuahua, Mexico.
Ethos has now completed a rock sampling stage and g eologic mapping program in the historic
La Purisima gold mine area concessions. Total samples across the poorly outcropping area are
591 rock chip samples of which Ethos work developed 348 rock samples. Most of these
samples were taken within a rectangular area follow ing northwest striking parallel veins along
1.7 km strike and over 500 meters corridor width. The samples collected generally range from
1.5 to 3 meters in length usually crossing vein and fracture trends. Ethos did not collect
samples in this program from the historic mine site outcrops due to hundreds of prior quality
samples taken in three qualified sample programs an d more recent mining contamination in the
mine site area.
Ethos rock samples in this program were taken mainl y outside the main mine area to outline
gold anomalous areas away from the historic Purisim a mine site. The mine site has both
underground and open pit development by the prior o wners and has shown significant areas
exceeding 2 g Au per tonne; examples are the two sa mples in the technical report by P . Craig
Gibson (see the Company’s profile on sedar at www.sedar.com for the full technical report filed
on July 27, 2018) from the pit contained in sample 13326 over 1 meter 11.95 g Au per tonne and
in sample 13327 from 2 by 2 meter panel 2.05 g Au p er tonne. From the 348 Ethos samples
outside this area, 64 samples are greater than 0.1 g/t gold average 0.777 g/t. Part of these
samples come from an extension of the mine’s struct ures northwest beyond more than 400
meters of valley within pediment covered exposures in old trenches and workings. These
structures continue northwesterly and extend to int ersect a rhyolite volcanic flow dome body.
The flow dome is weakly gold anomalous with quartz veinlets. Geochemistry shown by samples
in veins and stockwork in a parallel set of structu res east of the Purisima mine contain
anomalous arsenic, and mercury and barite as well as silicification of the sedimentary rock. The
main mine workings are hosted in andesitic-basaltic flow units and meta-sedimentary rocks.
A set of veins southwest of the mine site show num erous anomalous thallium and cobalt
samples within silicified sedimentary host rock. T hallium is commonly associated with Carlin,
NV type mineralization and may indicate replacement zones of gold occurring in deeper
2
sedimentary rock calcarious units. Several large c alcite veins are present in the same area
supporting the conclusion calcium carbonate has been transported from depth.
This data, combined with historic data from surface sampling, historic mine working samples,
and historic drill data, have been plotted on plan maps and cross sections. Work to date
indicates at least five sub parallel north-west str iking mineralized veins with significant broad
vein enveloping areas of gold mineralized stockwork in intervening rock between the veins.
Additionally, gold mineralized vein splays and stoc kwork zones diverge from the primary
veining, usually into northeast trends. Utilizing this data to plan drill hole locations with angled
orientations to test gold content of the mineralize d has been completed and permitting for a drill
program is now underway. This permit will also include 500 to 700 meters of backhoe trenching
planned for three to five of the cross section lines. There is thin alluvium cover over a significant
part of the target areas and that trenching with sa mpling will be undertaken before drilling to
further define the priority areas for efficient drill targeting.

Factors that could cause future results to differ m aterially from those anticipated in these forward-l ooking

the risk that the Company will encounter unanticipa ted geological factors, or the possibility that the
Company may not be able to secure permitting and ot her governmental clearances, necessary to carry
out the Company's exploration plans, and the risk o f political uncertainties and regulatory or legal
changes in the jurisdictions where the Company carr ies on its business that might interfere with the
Company's business and prospects. The reader is urg ed to refer to the Company's reports, publicly
