Vancouver, BC – August 9, 2021, Ethos Gold Corp. (“Ethos” or the “Company”) (TSXV: ECC; OTCQB: ETHOF; Frankfurt: 1ET) is pleased to announce additional bonanza grade weathered sub-crop samples 420m ENE of the new high-grade gold trend in its first pass exploration program at the Toogood property which encompasses 118km² of mineral claims on New World Island, Newfoundland.

Highlights

• Four weathered sub-crop grab samples with visible gold grading 7,877, 1,276, 1,113, 226 g/t Au, and one additional sample assaying 7 g/t Au are located 420m ENE of the previously announced initial outcrop sampling (Figure 1) (see press release dated July 21, 2021). Note that surface samples are grab/select samples and are not necessarily representative of mineralization hosted on the property.

• The grab samples are angular, loose, weathered, palm sized quartz vein material in an area of thin cover. They are interpreted to be close to source, covering an area of approximately 40m x 10m. The Toogood project area lacks significant glacial till or erratic boulders due to a low-lying marine incursion approximately 12,000 years ago. As a result, soil and boulders are interpreted as in place weathered sub-crop.

• Initial mapping and prospecting suggest mineralization may be locally associated with quartz veins that occur along NNE trending faults within sedimentary host rocks. Visible gold occurs in outcrops of quartz vein stockwork within a strongly sericite silica pyrite altered felsic (tonalite) dike that intruded a dextral strike slip structure.

• Localised outcrop stripping, trenching, soil sampling will follow up the high-grade sampling, in addition to continued prospecting and mapping property wide.

Alex Heath, CFA., President and CEO stated: “These additional bonanza high-grade gold results from our initial sampling program continue to add significant discovery potential at Toogood and we are excited to continue exploring untested areas.”

Toogood Gold Property Geology Overview

Toogood Project lies at the northeast extent of the Exploits Subzone (Dunnage Zone) of Central Newfoundland and is underlain mostly by the Ordovician Dunnage Melange and the Badger Belt (Figure 3). The Exploits Subzone area trends 200km northeast / southwest across the island of Newfoundland, and hosts most of the significant gold deposits in the province including Marathon Gold’s Valentine Project which hosts 3.09 Moz. M&I at 1.75 g/t. Gold mineralization on the Toogood Project is hosted by a suite of Devonian felsic dykes which cross-cut the property, emplaced in the latter stages of a polyphase tectonic history. Gold mineralization is associated with arsenopyrite, pyrite, trace chalcopyrite, and fine-grained native gold within pervasive sericite altered rocks, and concentrated along intersections between late-stage conjugate brittle faults.
