Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 15, 2020) -  Ethos Gold Corp. ("Ethos" or the "Company") (TSXV: ECC) (OTCQB: ETHOF) is pleased to announce that it has purchased a 100% interest in 206 mineral claims covering 10,018 Ha (100.2 km²) contiguous to Ethos's newly staked Sable block, part of the Schefferville Gold Project, 85 km northwest of Schefferville, Quebec. The purchase agreement is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Highlights

• The claims cover key portions of the Sable River Deformation Zone structure adjacent to the Sable Block (Figure 1).
• The newly acquired claims host at least 13 iron formation hosted gold occurrences with samples ranging from > 1 g/t Au to 6.7 g/t Au.
• The Sable block now comprises a total of 34,448 ha (344.5 km²) and covers a package of rocks within a major deformation zone which management believes is prospective and presents a district-scale opportunity for Ethos.

Stated Craig Roberts, P.Eng., President and CEO: "These newly acquired claims incorporate areas that have historically returned significant gold values and provide us with a much more continuous land package over the target trends. Our plan is to complete data compilation and analysis over the winter months and then initiate field work early in the spring of 2021 with the intention of then developing and pursuing drill targets."

Project Overview

The district scale Schefferville Project is centered on a structural corridor characterized by faulted and sheared rocks extending for approximately 60 km on the Sable block, and 10 km on the Hamard block. The in-house technical team at Ethos has identified several key areas along this fault zone that it believes hosts gold mineralization. As a result, the Company subsequently staked 342 km² to cover most of the prospective ground (see August 5, 2020 news release). Acquisition of both the Bassano block (see September 4, 2020 new release) and now these additional claims has allowed Ethos to consolidate these key areas under control of one group. Ethos can now explore the region on a true district scale which it hopes will enable an efficient and effective exploration program.
