TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 16, 2021 / IC Capitalight Corp. (CSE:IC) ("Capitalight" or the "Company") announces the sale of its Schefferville Ashuanipi Gold Projet and related exploration data to Ethos Gold Corp. ("Ethos"), which trades on the TSXV under the symbol ECC. The Ashuanpi Project consists of 48 mineral claims covering 2,359 hectares (23.59km2) that are contiguous to Ethos's existing land position within the Schefferville Gold District, 85 kilometers northwest of Schefferville, Quebec.

Capitalight will receive 2,000,000 shares of Ethos, $100,000 in cash, and a 2.0% net smelter royalty ("NSR"), which can be reduced to 1.0% for a further payment of $1.0 million in cash. The fair value of the Ethos shares based on its closing market price of $0.18 on February 12, 2021 is $360,000. Ethos has also committed to spending $500,000 over three years on the claims with any shortfall resulting in a cash payment to the Capitalight in an amount equal to a prorated cash payment of $100,000. If the commitment is satisfied, no payment is required. The purchase agreement is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Ethos is a well funded exploration company that has been consolidating the Schefferville Gold District since early 2020 and now holds a total of 26,808 hectares (36.8 km2) centered on a 20 km wide key structural corridor characterized by faulted and sheared rocks. Their property package contains approximately 53 gold occurences of which only 6 have ever been drill tested. Ethos completed a high-definition helicopter-borne magnetometer survey over its Schefferville mineral claims in October 2020 and is planning a field program in spring 2021 followed by a drill program later in 2021. Ethos also owns gold and copper exploration projects in Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia, Newfoundland, and Nevada

Capitalight is excited to continue to participate in the exploration of the Schefferville Gold District as a shareholder of Ethos and through the NSR.

Capitalight's remaining mineral exploration program will be the Blue Lake Project, located 60 km northeast of Schefferville, which consists of 263 claims covering 12,724 hectares. The Blue Lake Project controls a 35 km long by 3 to 5 km wide group of contiguous claims on one of the most under explored and prospective Pt-Pd-Cu-Ni belts in Canada.
