Eldorado Gold Releases Updated Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Statement; Offsetting Depletion and Increasing Mineral Reserves at Key Operations
VANCOUVER, BC – Eldorado Gold Corporation (TSX:ELD) (NYSE:EGO) (“Eldorado” or “the Company”) today releases its updated Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource (“MRMR”) estimates as of September 30, 2025.
“Our commitment to exploration continues to unlock long-term value, driving another increase in Mineral Reserves,” said George Burns, Chief Executive Officer. “We successfully offset depletion at key operations, including the Lamaque Complex, Kisladag and Olympias. Overall, Mineral Reserves increased by approximately 5%, primarily driven by a 25% increase at the Lamaque Complex. This strengthens our foundation and supports a robust production outlook for the next decade, underpinned by an average mine life of 13 years. Importantly, this update reflects a higher but conservative gold price assumption of $1,700 per ounce compared to last year’s gold price assumption of $1,450 per ounce, reinforcing the resilience of our portfolio.
Exploration success also increased Inferred Mineral Resources by nearly 21%, primarily from additions of Inferred Mineral Resources in the sulfide zone at Perama Hill in Greece and at Bonnefond in the vicinity of the Lamaque Complex (25 km from the Sigma Mill), reinforcing our strategy to extend mine life and advance near-mine opportunities.
At the Lamaque Complex, we more than replaced depletion through successful resource conversion at Ormaque and in the Lower Triangle zones. This represents the highest reserve estimate since acquisition in 2017 and positions the Lamaque Complex for long-term growth with two underground mines offering significant conversion potential and exploration upside.
In 2026, we will continue to invest in organic growth through exploration, prioritizing mine life extension at existing operations and advancing near-mine opportunities, while also pursuing new discoveries across our highly prospective early-stage exploration portfolio in Canada and Turkiye. It’s shaping up to be an exciting year, and you can expect more news and updates as we advance these initiatives.”

Mineral Reserves Update
The Company’s Proven and Probable gold Mineral Reserves totalled 12.5 million ounces as of September 30, 2025, representing an increase of approximately 5% compared to the previous MRMR statement dated September 30, 2024. The complete MRMR table and notes can be found at the end of this release.
|
| Ore Tonnes (t x 1,000) | Gold Grade (g/t) | Total Mineral Reserves (Gold Ounces) x 1,000) |
| Mineral Reserves as of September 30, 2024(1) | 344,733 | 1.07 | 11,911 |
| Depletion(1) | (14,351) | 1.55 | (713) |
| Adjustments for metal prices, cut-off value, mine plan optimization, additions due to new drilling and conversion of Resources | 41,326 | 1.02 | 1,327 |
| Mineral Reserves as of September 30, 2025 | 371,708 | 1.05 | 12,525 |
| (1) | Depletion declared here are in-situ ounces. Depletion includes the 12-month period of October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025. |
The increase in gold Mineral Reserves is primarily attributable to additions at the Lamaque Complex, Kisladag and Olympias.
|
| · | Lamaque Complex: Mineral Reserves increased 25%, driven by conversion at Ormaque and Triangle, in addition to declaring initial Mineral Reserves at Plug #4. |
|
| o | Ormaque: Processing the second bulk sample and increasing drilling density improved confidence in the deposit, enabling an increase in reserve grade and ounces. |
|
|
|
|
|
| o | Triangle: New drilling platforms accelerated drilling in the lower levels of the Triangle deposit (C6-C10), significantly increasing the Mineral Reserves. |
|
| · | Kisladag: Mineral Reserves increased 11%, supported by the higher gold price assumption and mine optimization, including improved pit design. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | Olympias: Mineral Reserves increased slightly beyond depletion, driven by the higher gold price assumption, updated resource modelling and improved concentrate marketing terms. Additional drilling allowed for refinements to the geologic model. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | Efemcukuru: Mineral Reserves decreased due to depletion, partially offset by the addition of Mineral Reserves from Kokarpinar 63. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | Skouries: Mineral Reserves increased slightly following minor design modifications. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | Perama Hill Oxides: Mineral Reserves decreased slightly due to block model changes and mine design updates. |

Mineral Resources Update
Eldorado’s Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources (“M&I Mineral Resources”) totalled 17.4 million ounces gold, as of September 30, 2025. The Company’s M&I Mineral Resources decreased 5% compared to the previous MRMR statement. The decrease was primarily driven from depletion at Kisladag and Perama Hill as a result of reclassification of a portion of the oxides to Inferred Mineral Resources.
Eldorado’s Inferred Mineral Resources totalled 8.2 million ounces as of September 30, 2025, reflecting a 21% increase from the previous MRMR statement. This increase was primarily driven by new Inferred Resources at Bonnefond located in the vicinity of the Lamaque Complex and at Perama Hill with the addition of resources in the sulfide zone.
Detailed MRMR disclosure tables are included at the end of this news release.
|
| - | Lamaque Complex: The increase in total M&I Mineral Resources was primarily driven by conversion from Inferred Mineral Resources. |
|
| o | Ormaque: M&I Mineral Resources increased through conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources. Inferred Mineral Resources decreased due to this conversion, partially offset by updated estimation parameters. |
|
|
|
|
|
| o | Triangle: M&I Mineral Resources increased through expansion and conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources. Inferred Mineral Resources decreased as a result of this conversion. |
|
| - | Bonnefond: The increase in M&I Mineral Resources and Inferred Mineral Resources reflects the addition of initial estimates for each category. |
|
|
|
|
|
| - | Kisladag: The decrease in M&I Mineral Resources was primarily due to depletion, while Inferred Mineral Resources remained relatively unchanged period-over-period. |
|
|
|
|
|
| - | Efemcukuru: M&I Mineral Resources decreased due to depletion, partially offset by conversion from Inferred Mineral Resources. A slight increase in Inferred Mineral Resources reflects new depth extensions in the Kokarpinar zones. |
| 3 |
|
| - | Olympias: Both M&I Mineral Resources and Inferred Mineral Resources increased, driven by the higher gold price assumption and improved resource modelling, partially offset by depletion. |
|
|
|
|
|
| - | Skouries: M&I Mineral Resources decreased due to block model updates and reclassification to Inferred Mineral Resources. Inferred Mineral Resources also decreased from block model updates, partially offset by reclassification from M&I Mineral Resources. |
|
|
|
|
|
| - | Perama Hill: |
|
| o | Oxides: M&I Resources decreased due to reclassification to Inferred Mineral Resources, reflecting boundary limitations near the closest village. |
|
|
|
|
|
| o | Sulfides: Initial Inferred Mineral Resources were declared for the sulfide zone. |

ADVISORIES AND DETAILED NOTES ON MINERAL RESERVES AND RESOURCES
General
Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are as of September 30, 2025
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 consistently 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 mentioned in this news release (all of which are considered to be material mineral properties to the Company) are contained in Eldorado’s annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the following technical reports for each of those properties, all of which are available under the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.com and www.sec.gov:

Cautionary Note to US Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources
There 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.
| 8 |
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, Triangle, Parallel and Plug #4) and the Skouries and Perama Hill projects were determined using a long-term gold price of $1,700/oz. A reserve test is undertaken every year to confirm future undiscounted cash flow from the 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 ($2,100/oz) and modifying factors derived in the resource to reserve conversion process (or by comparison to similar projects for our resource-only properties). These values are then used to create constraining volumes that provide limits to the reported Resources. Resource grades are reported undiluted from within the constraining volumes that satisfy RPEEE.
Open Pit Resources used pit shells created with the long-term gold price to constrain reportable model blocks. Underground Resources were constrained by volumes whose design was guided by a combination of the reporting cut-off grade or value, contiguous areas of mineralization and mineability. Eldorado’s Mineral Resources are inclusive of Reserves.
| Long-Term Metal Price Assumptions – Mineral Resources | 2024 | 2025 |
| Gold price ($ per ounce) | 1,800 | 2,100 |
| Silver price ($ per ounce) | 24.00 | 24.00 |
| Copper price ($ per pound) | 3.25 | 4.15 |
| Copper price ($ per tonne) | 7,163 | 9,147 |
| Lead price ($ per tonne) | 2,200 | 2,200 |
| Zinc price ($ per tonne) | 2,800 | 2,800 |
Mineral Resource Reporting and demonstration of Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction:
The Mineral Resources used a long term look gold metal price of $2,100/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 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 an open pit/underground economic crossover surface, and underground Resources constrained by a reporting shape.
