[{"type":"text","content":"Ethos Commences Drilling at Perk-Rocky Copper-Gold Porphyry ProjectVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 2, 2021) - Ethos Gold Corp. (TSXV: ECC) (OTCQB: ETHOF) (FSE: 1ET) (\"Ethos\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the commencement of the Company's first drilling program at the Perk-Rocky Copper-Gold Porphyry Project (\"Perk-Rocky\"), 200 kilometres west of Williams Lake in British Columbia.Highlights of Perk-Rocky Copper-Gold Porphyry ProjectPerk-Rocky (100% earn-in) is a large copper-gold porphyry target located in BC within a major copper deposit trend including Highland Valley (Teck), New Afton (New Gold Inc.), Yalakom (Barrick) and New Prosperity (Taseko Mines Ltd.).One of the few remaining road-accessible, metal-endowed magmatic-hydrothermal systems in British Columbia that has never been drill tested.The project exhibits extensive copper-gold mineralization over an 8km x 5km area with indications of multiple porphyry centers on the property. Widespread telescoped low- to high-temperature alteration suggests that overprinting mineralized systems may be present. A preserved high-level environment supported by localised advanced argillic alteration and 50+ Cu showings at surface suggests that the highest-grade positions within zoned porphyries may be preserved (Figure 1).Inaugural drill program will focus on three targets, with 3-4 holes, totaling approximately 2,000 metres. Alex Heath, CFA., President and CEO stated, \"Perk-Rocky represents one of the best undrilled copper-gold porphyry targets in BC. Our technical team has identified multiple potential porphyry centers, which will be the initial targets in this maiden drilling campaign. We are excited to begin drilling and moving Perk-Rocky forward.\"Dr. Alan Wainwright, technical advisor to Ethos, added, \"Porphyry deposits often occur in clusters and we have evaluated the rocks with robust field and analytical campaigns in order to vector to the priority target areas. We look forward to drill testing for porphyry copper centers driving the extensive alteration footprint at Perk-Rocky.\"Figure 1.
