VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ethos Gold Corp.
(“Ethos” or the “Company”) (TSXV:ECC) is pleased to announce that Melvin Herdrick has joined its
Board of Directors. Mel is a professional geologist with over 35 years of experience in exploration in the United States and
Mexico, including 9 years as Chief Geologist for Phelps Dodge in Mexico from 1994 to 2003, and 8 years as Vice President of
Exploration for Pediment Gold Corp. until its takeover by Argonaut Gold Inc. in 2011. Mel has worked as a consultant to Ethos
and has played a lead role in identifying and evaluating gold exploration opportunities for Ethos in Mexico, including the recently
announced option to acquire the La Purisima property in Chihuahua.
Gary Freeman, President and CEO of Ethos stated that, “Mel and I worked closely together for many years building
assets into Pediment Gold, raising funding and executing on various exploration campaigns, leading to the discovery of the San
Antonio deposit, the purchase of the La Colorado mine, and the sale of Pediment to Argonaut Gold for approximately $140
million. I am very excited to be working with Mel again, and to pursue a similar strategy with Ethos Gold. Our
intention is to build a portfolio of prospective gold exploration projects focused in Mexico, and to allocate our resources
judiciously in advancing these opportunities. Mel is based in Hermosillo and has outstanding abilities to access opportunities,
manage exploration programs, and efficiently assist Ethos in executing our strategy.”
Coincident with this announcement, the Company has granted, under its Stock Option Plan, incentive stock options
to the incoming director to purchase up to an aggregate of 250,000 common shares in the capital of the Company exercisable for a

significant contribution to the company over the last several years.
