What Eldorado Gold does

Eldorado Gold Corporation is a Canadian mid-tier precious and base metals producer incorporated in 1992 and listed on the NYSE (EGO) and TSX (ELD). The company operates four producing mines across three jurisdictions: the Lamaque Complex (underground gold in Val-d'Or, Quebec), Olympias (gold-silver-lead-zinc underground mine in northern Greece), Efemçukuru (underground gold in western Türkiye), and Kışladağ (open-pit heap-leach gold in western Türkiye). Eldorado employs approximately 8,000 people including contractors and reported 488,268 ounces of gold production at the higher end of 2025 guidance, generating $1.82 billion in FY2025 revenue (+38% YoY) and $532.4 million in Q1 2026 revenue (+50% YoY).

The company's technology base is built around conventional mineral processing flowsheets: heap leaching at Kışladağ, flotation circuits at Efemçukuru, Olympias, and McIlvenna Bay, and filtered (dry-stack) tailings management that removes up to 90% of water and reduces environmental footprint by up to 40%. Eldorado is also piloting battery-electric haul trucks at Lamaque, which have demonstrated approximately 40% productivity improvements in uphill ramp cycles. The company holds 12.5 million ounces of Proven and Probable gold reserves and 17.4 million ounces of Measured and Indicated resources, and is recognized as a sustainability leader with multiple ISO certifications, TSM Gold Leadership Awards at Lamaque, and inclusion in Corporate Knights' Best 50 Corporate Citizens in Canada.

Eldorado's revenue model is that of a price-taker in global commodity markets: gold pricing is set by the LBMA, copper by the LME, and concentrates are sold under offtake agreements to refiners, smelters, and commodity trading houses. The growth pipeline consists of two fully-financed development projects—Skouries (copper-gold in Greece, commercial production Q4 2026) and the recently acquired McIlvenna Bay (copper-zinc-gold-silver in Saskatchewan, first concentrate June 2026, commercial production Q3 2026)—plus the Perama Hill gold-silver project advancing through permitting. Eldorado projects 640,000-740,000 ounces of gold production by 2028, a 41% increase over 2025 levels.

Revenue model

1. Gold Production and Sales: Primary revenue stream from mining and selling gold produced at four operating mines (Lamaque Complex in Canada, Olympias and Efemcukuru in Greece, Kisladag in Turkey). Revenue is driven by gold ounces produced multiplied by realized gold prices.
2. Copper Production and Sales: Secondary revenue stream from copper production at Skouries project in Greece and McIlvenna Bay project in Canada. Copper is sold as concentrate to smelters and refiners.
3. By-product Metals (Silver, Lead, Zinc): Olympias produces silver, lead, and zinc as by-products. Stratoni produces silver, lead, and zinc. These are sold to generate additional revenue.
