Eldorado Gold Completes Acquisition of Foran Mining

VANCOUVER, BC – Eldorado Gold Corporation (TSX:ELD) (NYSE:EGO) (“Eldorado”) is pleased to announce the completion of Eldorado’s acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Foran Mining Corporation (“Foran”) pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Transaction”).

“Closing this transaction marks an important milestone for Eldorado,” said George Burns, Chief Executive Officer. The acquisition of Foran enhances our portfolio with the addition of McIlvenna Bay a high-quality, long-life asset in a premier mining jurisdiction, further strengthening the balance and resilience of our existing asset base. McIlvenna Bay also provides Eldorado with additional exposure to copper, a recognized critical mineral, and offers exceptional exploration potential, enhancing the long-term growth of our portfolio. We look forward to working alongside the Foran team to advance the McIlvenna Bay project responsibly and deliver sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders and stakeholders.”

With Foran now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Eldorado intends to de-list the Foran shares from the TSX and OTCQX as soon as practicable. Eldorado also intends to submit an application to the applicable securities regulators to have Foran cease to be a reporting issuer and terminate its public reporting obligations under Canadian securities laws.

In addition, except where otherwise stated, we have assumed a continuation of existing business operations on substantially the same basis as exists at the time of this news release.

The reader is directed to carefully review the detailed risk discussion in Eldorado’s most recent Annual Information Form & Form 40-F filed on SEDAR+ and EDGAR which discussion provides a fuller understanding of the risks and uncertainties that affect Eldorado’s business and operations.
