Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado” or “the Company”) today
releases its updated Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource (“MRMR”)
estimates as of September 30, 2024.
“Our updated Mineral Reserves estimate provides
a solid foundation and underpins our production profile over the
next decade and beyond,” said George Burns, President and CEO. “We
were pleased to increase our Mineral Reserves by approximately 2%
overall, driven by increases at the Lamaque Complex and Efemcukuru
that extends Reserve mine life significantly and complements our
already long mine life assets at Skouries, Kisladag and Olympias.
The Lamaque Complex Mineral Reserve increased by 45%, driven
primarily by the declaration of an Inaugural Mineral Reserve at
Ormaque of 619 thousand ounces. This follows a solid track record
of successfully replacing Mineral Reserves since acquiring the
asset in 2017 and sets up the Lamaque Complex for the long-term
with two underground mines with significant Inferred Mineral
Resource conversion potential and exploration upside.”
“In addition, at Efemcukuru, we increased
Mineral Reserves by 23% resulting in an extension to the mine life
by an additional two years to an updated life of mine of eight
years. Efemcukuru has been a reliable producer since 2011, and our
team remains committed to exploring opportunities to extend mine
life further. During 2025, our focus will continue to be on
extending the mine life at our existing operations and testing
near-mine exploration targets, while seeking a discovery from our
highly prospective portfolio of early stage exploration targets in
Canada and Turkiye.”
Mineral Reserves Update
The Company’s Proven and Probable gold Mineral
Reserves totalled 11.9 million ounces as of September 30, 2024, an
increase of approximately 2% from the previous MRMR statement from
September 30, 2023. The complete MRMR table and notes can be found
at the end of this release.

(1) The Company’s total MRMR excludes Mineral
Reserves at its non-core Romanian asset (Certej). As disclosed in
the Q3 2024 Managements Discussion & Analysis, the Certej
project has been presented as a disposal group held for sale as at
September 30, 2024 and as a discontinued operation for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2024. On October 7, 2024, the
Company entered into a share purchase agreement to sell the Certej
project. The closing of the disposition is subject to certain
conditions.(2) Depletion declared here are in-situ ounces.
Depletion includes the 12-month period of October 1, 2023, through
September 30, 2024.
Excluding depletion, the increase in Mineral
Reserves is primarily attributable to additions at Kokarpinar South
at Efemcukuru as well as an inaugural Mineral Reserve estimate for
the Ormaque deposit within the Lamaque Complex.
- Lamaque Complex: Mineral Reserves
increased 45% with the addition of Ormaque, partially offset by
depletion at Triangle, resulting in an increase in life of mine to
eight years.
- Ormaque: Inaugural Mineral Reserve of 619 thousand ounces at
Ormaque.
- Triangle: Mineral Reserves decreased primarily as a result of
depletion.
- Kisladag: Mineral Reserves
decreased as a result of depletion, partially offset by positive
design changes.
- Efemcukuru: Mineral Reserves
increased with the addition of Kokarpinar South, increasing the
life of mine by two years to an updated eight year life of
mine.
- Olympias: Mineral Reserves
decreased due to depletion and Resource modelling incorporating
additional drilling.

the Company’s Mineral Reserves:

Mineral Resources
Update
Eldorado’s Measured and Indicated Mineral
Resources (“M&I Mineral Resources”) totalled 22.0 million
ounces gold, as of September 30, 2024. The Company successfully
converted Inferred Mineral Resources to M&I Mineral Resources
at Ormaque, within the Lamaque Complex, and at Efemcukuru. The
total is offset by depletion at the other operating mines. This
resulted in a 3% decrease from the previous MRMR statement from
September 30th, 2023. Eldorado’s Inferred Mineral Resources
totalled 6.8 million ounces as of September 30, 2024, a 10%
decrease from the previous MRMR statement. Detailed MRMR disclosure
tables are included at the end of this news release.
- Lamaque Complex: The increase in
total M&I Mineral Resources is primarily related to conversion
from Inferred Mineral Resources at Ormaque, whilst partially offset
by depletion at Triangle.
- Ormaque: M&I Mineral Resources increased nearly 300%
attributable to significant expansion and conversion of Inferred
Mineral Resources. Inferred Mineral Resources decreased as a result
of the above-mentioned conversion, partially offset by the addition
of new Inferred Mineral Resources.
- Triangle: M&I Mineral Resources decreased due to depletion
and Inferred Mineral Resources decreased due to discontinuities in
C7 vein continuity recognised during in-fill drilling, grade
changes, and cut-off grade assumptions, coupled with conversion to
M&I Mineral Resources.
- Kisladag: The decrease in M&I
Mineral Resources is primarily from depletion. Inferred Mineral
Resources remained relatively unchanged period-over-period.
- Efemcukuru: The decrease in M&I
Mineral Resources is primarily from depletion, partially offset by
the conversion to Mineral Reserves at Kokarpinar South. The slight
decrease in Inferred Mineral Resources is attributable to
conversion to M&I Mineral Resources.
- Olympias: Both M&I Mineral
Resources and Inferred Mineral Resources decreased due to
depletion, model estimation parameters updates, and the exclusion
of un-minable material which were previously included, off-setting
extensional discoveries. As part of the annual review of Mineral
Resources with respect to reasonable prospects for eventual
economic extraction (“RPEEE”), some un-mineable material was
removed due to proximity to existing infrastructure, areas of poor
geotechnical conditions and inaccessibility due to previous mining
activities.

Notes: (1) Resource grades are reported undiluted, however
resources are assessed for reasonable expectation of economic
extraction by applying expected minimum mining shapes. (2) As
disclosed in the Q3 2024 Managements Discussion & Analysis, the
Certej project has been presented as a disposal group held for sale
as at September 30, 2024 and as a discontinued operation for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. On October 7, 2024,
the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to sell the
Certej project. The closing of the disposition is subject to
certain conditions.(3) Mineralized shapes based on RPEEE
identified based on 2.5 g/t Au COG; within shapes material below
incremental COG of 1.0 g/t have been excluded; grades are diluted
by must-take material between 1.0 and 2.5 g/t Au. (4) Due to
narrow veins, continued conversion of Resources to Reserves at
Ormaque will reflect expected lower grades to fully represent
mining modifying factors.

ADVISORIES AND DETAILED NOTES ON MINERAL
RESERVES AND RESOURCES
General
Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are as of
September 30, 2024
The Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources were
classified using logic consistent with the CIM Definition Standards
for Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves (2014) incorporated,
by reference, into National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). Sample preparation,
analytical techniques, laboratories used, and quality assurance and
quality control protocols used during exploration drilling programs
are done consistent with industry standards and independent
certified assay labs are used.
Mineral Reserves are included in the Mineral
Resources.
The Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are
disclosed on a total project basis.
Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources which
are not Mineral Reserves, do not have demonstrated economic
viability. With respect to “Inferred Mineral Resources”, there is a
great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and uncertainty
as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed
that all or any part of a “Measured Mineral Resource”, “Indicated
Mineral Resource” or “Inferred Mineral Resource” will ever be
upgraded to a higher category.
Additional information on the Kisladag,
Efemcukuru, Olympias, Skouries and Lamaque mineral properties

Cautionary Note to US Investors
Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred
ResourcesThere are differences between the standards and
terms used for reporting mineral reserves and resources in Canada,
and in the United States pursuant to the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”). The terms Mineral Resource,
Measured Mineral Resource, Indicated Mineral Resource and Inferred
Mineral Resource are defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining,
Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) and the CIM Definition Standards on
Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources adopted by the CIM Council,
and must be disclosed according to Canadian securities
regulations.
These standards differ from the requirements of
the SEC applicable to domestic United States reporting companies.
Accordingly, information contained in this news release with
respect to mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar
information made public by United States companies subject to the
SEC’s reporting and disclosure requirements.
Mineral Reserve Notes
Eldorado reports Mineral Reserves in accordance
with CIM Definition Standards. Mineral Reserves for the operating
sites (Efemcukuru, Kisladag, Olympias, and within the Lamaque
Complex – Ormaque and Triangle) were determined using a long-term
gold price of $1,450/oz while Mineral Reserves for the Skouries and
Perama Hill projects were determined based on a $1,300/oz gold
price. A reserve test is undertaken every year to confirm future
undiscounted cash flow from reserve mine plan is positive.

Mineral Resource Notes
Eldorado reports Mineral Resources in accordance
with CIM Definition Standards. All Mineral Resources are assessed
for reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction (RPEEE).
The Resource cut-off grades or values (e.g. gold equivalent) are
determined using a long-term gold price ($1,800/oz) and modifying
factors derived in the resource to reserve conversion process (or
by comparison to similar projects for our resource-only
properties). These values are then used to create constraining
volumes that provide limits to the reported Resources. Resource
grades are reported undiluted from within the constraining volumes
that satisfy RPEEE. At Efemcukuru, mineralized shapes based
on RPEEE identified based on 2.5 g/t Au COG; within shapes material
below incremental COG of 1.0 g/t have been excluded; grades are
diluted by must-take material between 1.0 and 2.5 g/t Au. Due
to the presence of narrow veins, any future potential conversion of
Resources to Reserves at Ormaque will reflect expected lower grades
to fully represent modifying factors associated with mining.
Open Pit Resources used pit shells created with
the long-term gold price to constrain reportable model
blocks. Underground Resources were constrained by volumes
whose design was guided by a combination of the reporting cut-off
grade or value, contiguous areas of mineralization and mineability.
Eldorado’s Mineral Resources are inclusive of Reserves.

Mineral Resource Reporting and
demonstration of Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic
Extraction:
The Mineral Resources used a long term look gold
metal price of $1,800/oz for the determination of resource cut-off
grades or values. This guided execution of the next step where
constraining surfaces or volumes were created to control resource
reporting. Open pit-only projects (Kisladag, Perama Hill, Perama
South, and Certej) used pit shells created with the long-term gold
price to constrain reportable model blocks. Underground
Resources were constrained by 3D volumes whose design was guided by
the reporting cut-off grade or value, contiguous areas of
mineralization and mineability. Only material internal to these
volumes were eligible for reporting. Projects with both open pit
and underground Resources have the open pit Resources constrained
by either the permit (Skouries), and pit shell, or by an open
pit/underground economic crossover surface, and underground
Resources constrained by a reporting shape.
