White Gold District
Overview
The Tintina Gold Belt is a 2000 km long, highly prolific region of mineralization that stretches in a north-westerly trending arc from British Columbia through Yukon and central Alaska.In Alaska the Tintina Gold Belt has seen over 70 million ounces of gold mined over 30 years.
Recent large scale discoveries include the 36 million oz gold discovery at the Barrick/Nova Gold Donlin Creek project, the 10 million ounce gold discovery at International Tower Hills Livengood deposit and Kinross's 5.7 million ounce Fort Knox deposit.
The White Gold district south of Dawson City is the Yukon continuation of the Tintina Gold Belt and the site of the historic Yukon Gold Rush. Placer gold was discovered at Bonanza Creek and subsequently in many of the other creeks around the Dawson area. To date over 20 million ounces of gold have been recovered from many of the streams and gravel beds in the district but the source or sources of this gold has only recently been recognized- which has led to a new modern day "Klondike Gold Rush".
Recent Gold Discoveries in the Dawson Range
In 2008, Underworld Resources Inc. drilled 18.1m grading 4.35 g/t Au and 50.7m grading 3.1 g/t Au following up with an intercept early in 2009 grading 3.39 g/t Au across 104.0m. This led to delineation of the Golden Saddle deposit with an Indicated Resource of 1,004,570 oz gold @ 3.2 g/t Au, and an additional Inferred Resource of 407,413 oz gold @ 2.5 g/t Au. In Spring of 2010, drilling on the Coffee Project adjacent to Ethos Betty Property produced two significant discoveries: the Supremo Zone which yielded 17.07 g/t Au over 15.5m, and the Latte zone which returned 2.35 g/t Au over 51m.Mineralization at both Golden Saddle and on the Coffee Project is believed to be associated with felsic plutonic and older metamorphic rocks. Mineralization is structurally controlled and has a gold - arsenic - antimony surface soil geochemical response.
Ethos in the White Gold District
Ethos Capital Corp. is one of the leading land-holders in this exciting emergent gold district with in excess of 1,038 square kilometers under option from Shawn Ryan. The Company is focusing its exploration efforts in the White Gold District looking for epithermal-mesothermal gold and porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold systems; both styles of mineralization are historically documented by Shawn Ryan and others within the 1,038 square kilometer claim package.The Company's Board of Directors have approved $6.6 million to initiate the 2011 exploration work on Ethos' White Gold District properties. A comprehensive and systematic exploration field program is planned. The program is comprised of soil sampling, airborne and ground geophysics, trenching, geology and prospecting, with diamond drilling on the already defined gold anomalies. A detailed description of the multi-disciplinary program is outlined below.
