(TSXV: ECC) (OTCQB: ETHOF) (\"Ethos\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce trench results at its La Purisima gold project in north-west Chihuahua State, Mexico. Ethos has completed six mechanical trenches (T1-T6) totaling a length of approximately 3.0 km that targeted the surface expression of the Purisima Vein Zone and the parallel Stockwork Zone (see figure below). HighlightsT1 - 0.49 g/t Au over 118m, including 1.13 g/t Au over 20m, and 0.76g/t Au over 24m (Purisima Vein Zone), and separately 4.17g/t Au over 5.4m (Stockwork Zone)T2 - 0.47 g/t Au over 127m including 1.11 g/t Au over 40m (Purisima Vein Zone)T3 - 0.84 g/t Au over 10m and 6.51 g/t Au over 2m (both Stockwork Zone)The mineralized zones are situated in a valley about 500 metres wide. Dozer cuts through shallow alluvium exposed well mineralized rocks in trenches across the northern flank of the valley. A portion of the valley was not trenched due to deeper alluvium that would have required larger equipment and additional safety measures. The trenches were oriented North 60 East, generally perpendicular to the northwest trending mineralized zones, and covered approximately 1700 metres of strike distance on these zones. A total of 1000 trench samples were collected in the six trenches, with sample lengths ranging from 2 to 6 metres. Assays results range from below detection to 6.83 g/t Au. In aggregate (not continuous), 155m of the sampling in T1 and 173m of sampling in T2 were above 0.1 g/t Au, indicating the broad dissemination of gold mineralization. The gold mineralization is coincident with anomalous indicator elements including antimony, barium, and arsenic, and the Company is in the process of completing detailed geochemical mapping of various indicator elements. The trenching results will be utilized to guide the next phase of exploration including the upcoming drill program comprising approximately 15 RC holes. In addition, particularly encouraging new high-grade trench results in the Stockwork Zone will be the focus of further work in the upcoming phase of exploration.Commented Craig Roberts, P.Eng., President and CEO of Ethos: \"We are very encouraged by th...
