Eldorado Gold Publishes 2025 Sustainability Report, Incorporating Climate Change Strategy and Data
Emphasizes Sustainability as a Foundation for Safe, Responsible and Resilient Growth
(All dollar figures are in US dollars, unless otherwise stated)
VANCOUVER, BC – Eldorado Gold Corporation (TSX: ELD, NYSE: EGO) (“Eldorado” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the publication of its 2025 Sustainability Report (the “Report”), which provides details of the Company’s environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) performance for the period January 1 to December 31, 2025, unless otherwise stated. The Report also includes historical data for 2023–2025 for greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions and other multi-year indicators. The 2025 Sustainability Report is available on Eldorado’s website (https://www.eldoradogold.com/sustainability/reporting).
“At Eldorado, sustainability starts with our people,” said George Burns, Chief Executive Officer. “The publication of our 2025 Sustainability Report reflects the dedication of our teams across Canada, Greece and Türkiye, and their commitment to operating safely, responsibly and with care for one another and the communities around us. In 2025, we continued to strengthen our health and safety culture through programs that encourage our people to speak up, support one another and take personal ownership of safety every day. We also advanced important initiatives to foster a more inclusive, connected and equitable workplace, because we know that strong performance begins with engaged and supported teams. I am proud of the progress we have made and grateful to our employees and contractors whose efforts continue to move us forward. As we build the next chapter of Eldorado’s growth, we remain focused on creating long-term value through responsible mining, with safety and sustainability at the core of everything we do.”
2025 Report Highlights and Achievements:
(Organized by the four pillars of our Sustainability Framework)
Safe, Inclusive and Innovative Operations
At Eldorado, we prioritize a positive culture of health and safety where everyone values their own and others’ safety and well-being. Protecting the health and safety of our employees, contractors, suppliers and communities is a cornerstone of our operating philosophy. We are focused on driving an engaged positive culture, as part of our continued efforts to eliminate fatalities, serious injuries and occupational diseases.
| · | 50% women on our Board of Directors and 38% women across our Officers and Senior Management(1); |
| · | 25% global female hire rate achieved; |
| · | 57% decrease in potentially fatal occurrence frequency rate; and |
| · | 25% global completion of Courageous Safety Leadership workshops. |
Engaged and Prosperous Communities
From the initial stages of exploration to the eventual reclamation and rehabilitation of a mine site, we rely on the relationships with our stakeholders and Indigenous peoples to work toward socially inclusive and sustainable development. By maintaining open and transparent communication, providing competitive wages and benefits, prioritizing local hiring and procurement, contributing our fair share of taxes and royalties, and investing in community programs and infrastructure, we work hard to support the development goals of our host communities and governments.

| · | 81% of our employees reside in local and host communities; |
| · | 77% of our contractors are sourced from countries of operations; |
| · | $7.6 million in community investment, representing a 68% increase year over year; and |
| · | $1.2 billion spent on local/national procurement with suppliers, representing a 47% increase year over year. |
Healthy Environments Now and for the Future
As a global company, we are subject to the environmental laws and regulations in each of our operating jurisdictions. We work closely with our regional teams to understand local regulations and align our environmental practices to meet these requirements and our Sustainability Integrated Management System (“SIMS”) standards. Our Climate Change Strategy sets out how we identify, assess, manage, and disclose climate-related risks, opportunities, and impacts across our operations and development projects.
| · | 0.42 tCO2e/oz Au average Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions intensity for operating mines(2); |
| · | 46% of our GHG emissions mitigation target achieved(3); |
| · | 76% water recycled and reused; and |
| · | 48,280 indigenous plants established across 9,036 hectares to advance biodiversity and reclamation. |
Responsibly Produced Products
The products we produce, primarily gold today and copper-gold concentrate in the future, play an essential role in the global economy and modern society. Gold serves as a store of value, supports financial systems, and contributes to a wide range of applications, including technology, medicine and innovation. Copper is a critical material for electrification and the energy transition, supporting the shift to a lower-carbon economy. With first copper concentrate expected in 2026, our entry into copper production is expected to contribute to these global outcomes.
| · | Continuous improvement of our sustainability management system framework, SIMS, including the rollout of new training for our workforce; |
| · | Completed a Mining Association of Canada’s Towards Sustainable Mining verification at the Lamaque Complex, with Level AAA scores for all applicable protocols; |
| · | Full conformance with World Gold Council’s Responsible Gold Mining Principles and Conflict-Free Gold Standard; and |
| · | Independent Human Rights and Voluntary Principles on Security assessments completed across all operating sites. |
Sustainability Data Centre
Eldorado Gold is pleased to announce, new for the 2025 reporting cycle, a new sustainability data centre, which is a centralized hub for sustainability data, alongside financial and operational data. The data centre is available on Eldorado’s website via this link: Data Centre.

Notes:
| (1) | Data as at December 31, 2025 and may therefore differ from those disclosed in Eldorado’s other reports published in 2026, which use different reporting timeframes. |
| (2) | GHG emissions intensity per ounce of gold includes only those operations that produced gold during the year (Lamaque Complex, Kışladağ, Efemçukuru and Olympias). This figure is calculated in alignment with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. |
| (3) | This figure represents Eldorado’s estimated Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions mitigated from mines included in the GHG emissions mitigation target (Lamaque Complex, Kışladağ, Efemçukuru, Olympias and Stratoni) as at the end of 2025, as compared to an unmitigated “business-as-usual” scenario. The GHG emissions mitigation target does not include Skouries and is distinct from our corporate Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions measured on an absolute basis. |
