Ethos Capital Corp. (the "Company" or "Ethos") (TSX VENTURE:
ECC)(OTCQX: ETHOF)(FRANKFURT: 1ET) is pleased to report further
gold analyses from soil samples up to 1149 ppb Au in the area of
Mascot Creek, and to provide an update on the ongoing exploration
at the Betty Property, just one of the 5 properties Ethos has an
option to acquire a 100% interest in the area, located southeast
along-strike of Kaminak Gold Corporation's ("Kaminak") Coffee
discovery in the White Gold District, west-central Yukon Territory,
Canada.
In addition, Ethos has staked a further 126 claims adjoining the
Betty Property to the south and east. Ethos now has 5,089 claims
covering an area of 1,063 square kilometers in the emerging White
Gold District. Ethos' Betty Property, now comprised of 856 claims
covering 179 square kilometers, is situated immediately east of
Kaminak's Coffee Property. These newly staked claims are deemed to
be Tie-In Claims under the terms of the Company's property option
agreements with Shawn Ryan and Wildwood Exploration Inc.
(collectively the "optionors") and thus become subject to the terms
of those agreements, including among others the 2% NSR and buyback
provisions as disclosed previously. Gold mineralization at
Kaminak's flagship Coffee Property is associated with a regional
scale structural corridor termed the "Coffee Fault". The Coffee
Fault is defined by a pronounced east-west trending topographic and
magnetic lineament that transects Ethos' Betty Property. The Coffee
Fault and subordinate structures are the focus of Ethos' Betty
Property exploration program.
A total of 3,875 reconnaissance ridge-and-spur soil samples
representing 194 line kilometers of soil data were collected in the
first pass at the Betty Property. Results have now been received
for 3,100 or 80% of these first-pass ridge-and-spur samples.
New results have increased the potential of the Mascot Creek
Soil Anomaly (see August 9, 2011 News Release). One line of soils,
spaced 50 meters apart and located on the ridge east of Mascot
Creek has returned the highest gold-in-soil results to date. One
soil located near the ridge crest contains 1,149 ppb Au. A second
soil sample taken 3 meters away as a field duplicate for quality
control contains 844 ppb Au. These samples are strongly anomalous
in arsenic, at 3,028 ppm and 2,203 ppm As respectively. The next 3
samples are also anomalous over a total distance along the soil
line of 150 meters with gold values of 23, 100, and 24 ppb Au with
arsenic values of 413, 636, and 252 ppm As. These Au and As values
are consistent with results reported by Kaminak from soils in
proximity to gold-mineralized zones.
These anomalous gold-arsenic soils are situated above a magnetic
break interpreted to be a northeast trending fault which is a splay
off a much larger structure located in Mascot Creek. Ethos
previously reported highly anomalous gold-arsenic soils in Mascot
Creek, and also on the ridge top to the west of Mascot Creek over a
total area of approximately 5 km by 3 km. More soil results from a
large area to the northwest of Mascot Creek are among the 20% of
results still pending from the lab.
The results to date indicate the potential at Mascot Creek for a
gold-mineralized area. Follow-up to define targets has begun. A
follow-up 5,000 sample soil survey consisting of 100 meter spaced
lines with soils collected every 50 meters conducted over the past
10 days has been completed and samples submitted to the lab.
Approximately 1,500 meters of trenching and pitting has been
completed on the ridge west of Mascot Creek and the backhoe has now
been moved to begin work on the 1,149 ppb Au anomaly east of Mascot
Creek.
Gary Freeman, CEO and President of Ethos states "We are
extremely encouraged to have identified a gold anomaly of similar
size and scope when compared with initial results from the White
and Coffee area gold discoveries. Our crews are working hard to
identify the best targets in this area."
Ethos is planning for a continuing soil sampling program and a
follow-up trenching program to last into October. As soil targets
are confirmed by trenching, drill pad construction is currently
planned to continue to the end of September.

A comprehensive QA/QC program is in place to monitor precision
and accuracy of the assay results. All soil samples are submitted
with certified reference materials. Soil sample duplicates are
routinely collected, and pulp duplicates are obtained for all soil
samples. Ridge-and-spur soil samples are analyzed by Acme
Analytical Laboratories Ltd. ("Acme"). A 15 g sub-sample of soil
material is ignited, acid digested, and gold determined by ICP-MS;
a 0.5 g sub-sample undergoes aqua regia digestion with ICP-MS
analysis for 36 reporting elements including arsenic. Analytical
QA/QC programs monitoring the precision and accuracy of results
includes the routine use of assaying sample duplicates, certified
reference standard(s), and both assay and prep wash blanks. Acme is
ISO 9001 certified.
