Q4 2025 and Full-Year Summary
Operations
Financial
“2025 was a year of strong execution and meaningful progress across our portfolio,” said George Burns, Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered gold production at the higher end of our production guidance with full-year gold production of 488,268 ounces, underpinned by another strong year at Lamaque, and consistent performance from Kisladag and Efemcukuru. Solid operating execution, supported by a favorable gold price environment, translated into strong financial results, including revenue of $1.8 billion, net cash generated from operating activities of $743 million, and free cash flow of $316 million, excluding Skouries. Supported by a strong balance sheet, we have the financial capacity to advance our growth pipeline while retaining flexibility to return capital to shareholders.”
At Skouries, construction and commissioning advanced significantly. While near-term timing of first concentrate production at Skouries has shifted to early Q3, the fundamentals of the project remain compelling. Together with the Olympias expansion and progress at Perama Hill, Greece is positioned to deliver a step-change in contribution as we enter our next phase of growth. This is complemented by the Lamaque Complex, where Ormaque and a deep pipeline of high-quality exploration targets continue to reinforce long mine life potential, and by our Türkiye operations, which continue to provide a stable and cash-generating foundation.
Our results in 2025 are a direct reflection of the commitment and capability of our employees and contractors across the organization. I want to thank our teams for their focus on safety, operational discipline, and collaboration throughout the year. Looking ahead to 2026, we remain focused on safely delivering Skouries, strengthening our operating foundation, and creating long-term value for our shareholders.”
Skouries Highlights
The Skouries Project, part of the Kassandra Mines Complex, is located within the Halkidiki Peninsula of Northern Greece and is a high-grade copper-gold project. In January 2022, Eldorado published the results of the Skouries Project Feasibility Study with a 20-year mine life and expected average annual production over the life of the mine of 140,000 ounces of gold and 67 million pounds of copper, or approximately 240,000 gold equivalent ounces.(3)
First production of the copper-gold concentrate is expected in early Q3 2026 and commercial production is expected in Q4 2026, with 2026 gold production projected to be between 60,000 and 100,000 ounces and copper production projected to be between 20 and 40 million pounds.
Concentrate Off-Take Agreements
Commercial terms for concentrate off-take have been agreed to with counterparties and contract execution expected before the end of Q1. Negotiated concentrate off-take agreements will cover approximately 80% of the copper concentrate for a two to three year term depending on the agreement and we expect to achieve significantly better economic terms than those assumed in the 2022 feasibility study assumptions, as a result of better pricing and treatment charge conditions in the current market.
Capital Estimate and Schedule
The capital cost estimate for Skouries is $1.16 billion (including recently announced foreign exchange impacts of $43 million and an additional $50 million related to the schedule impacts following a delay in first concentrate production). The project remains fully funded through projected equity contributions and project financing. The Term Facility totalling €680.4 million ($799.5 million) is fully drawn.
Project capital totalled $136.6 million in Q4 2025 and $475.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2025, cumulative project capital invested towards phase 2 of construction totalled $980.0 million.
Accelerated operational costs of $178 million (including a recently announced $24 million increase related to acceleration of underground development and increased stope widths) include additional pre-commercial underground and open-pit mining and accelerate the purchase of higher capacity mobile mining equipment.
Accelerated operational capital was $34.8 million in Q4 2025 and $86.1 million for 2025. As of December 31, 2025, cumulative accelerated operational capital totalled $93.1 million.
Construction Activities
As at December 31, 2025, overall project progress was 90% when including the first phase of construction and 78% complete for phase 2 of construction.
Primary Crusher Building
Progress continues on the construction of the crusher building structure with the concrete now complete. The primary crusher is mechanically complete and set in position, with work continuing on finalizing the electrical installations. Conveyors from the primary crusher through the coarse ore stockpile to the process plant have been installed and belt installations commenced in January 2026.
The stockpile dome foundation is complete and assembly of the dome structure is progressing. Two of the three reclaim feeders and associated chute work have been installed, with pre-assembly underway on the remaining reclaim feeder. Installation of the prefabricated electrical distribution room was completed at the end of January 2026 with electrical cable installation and terminations in progress.
Process Plant
Work in the process plant remains focused on mechanical installations, piping, cable tray and cabling in preparation for first ore. Recent inspections have identified the need to replace the cyclone feed pump variable speed drive capacitors in the process plant main mill discharge cyclone feed, which experienced moisture damage during storage. Temporary replacement equipment has been ordered and is expected to be installed in Q2 2026 with permanent equipment in Q3 2026. High and medium voltage electrical distribution from multiple substations within the process plant network are advancing, and the control building structure is complete with electrical work underway across all areas.
The prefabricated electrical distribution room for the compressors has been installed, with cable and terminations progressing. The reagent areas are advancing in line with the commissioning plan through various stages of mechanical, piping and electrical installations.
Thickeners
Two of the three tailings thickeners are mechanically complete, with electrical cabling and instrumentation installation underway. The third tailings thickener is not required for start-up and is progressing in line with the plan.
Water testing has been completed and piping installations have advanced as the pipe rack installations are completed. Work is advancing on the associated infrastructure, including the pumphouse building piping and electrical work and tank installations in the flocculant building. Electrical installations and cable pulling in the thickeners’ secondary substation building are in progress.
Filtered Tailings Facility
Work continues to progress on the filtered tailings plant, which remains on the critical path with electrical installation and commissioning being the final step. The cladding on the filtered tailings building commenced in February 2026.
Mechanical work advanced with all six filter presses and associated swivel doors, feeders and conveyors completed. Pipe and cable tray installation are progressing. The compressor building steel structure is complete, and all six compressors and air receivers are mechanically complete.
The filter plant tank farm construction has progressed with three tanks complete and the remaining two tanks assembled and water-tested, with internal coating work now underway. The clarifier water tank construction is progressing to plan.
The prefabricated electrical distribution room has been installed, with cable tray and electrical installation advancing.
Work continues on tailings handling infrastructure including a horizontal and downslope stacking conveyor system.
The work on the tailings infrastructure has been impacted by recent rainfall above historic levels which is affecting certain construction accessibility and productivities.
Powerline and Substations
The powerline, main and secondary substations are advancing to support start-up in early Q3 2026. Power line connection delays have resulted from a slower than expected approval of the detailed engineering, which in turn delayed the ramp‑up of the subcontractor. Prior to commissioning final electrical regulatory authority approval requires completion of inspection and energization protocols.
Commissioning Activities
Pre-commissioning of the concentrate filter presses has been completed, along with all water testing in the flotation cells and tanks. Pre-commissioning of the pebble crusher is complete, including first fills and completion of construction punch lists. The pebble crusher area has been energized, and hot commissioning of the conveying and process control systems has been completed. Pre-commissioning of the fire, utility, and process water systems has started. Piping and cable installations continued to ramp up during the quarter, with a focus on flotation, grinding, tails filtration, and primary crushing. Commissioning of these areas is expected to commence as sub systems are completed by the construction team.
Integrated Extractive Waste Management Facility (the “IEWMF”)
Construction of the Karatzas Lakkos (KL) embankment progressed steadily, with continued advancement of underdrain installation, commencement of the engineered fill raise of the dam, and preparatory works for the next phase of cut-off trench construction.
Work is underway to prepare a dedicated area for the initial placement of tailings, however, work productivities have been impacted by recent rainfall above historic levels.
Construction of the low-grade ore (LGO) stockpile embankment continued, with the lower section advancing beyond the milestone elevation of 340 RL.
Enhancements were made to the construction of the Water Management System, notably the completion of the coffer dam and the implementation of a piling program to ensure the structural integrity of the KT2 diversion channel.
The intermediate water treatment plant (IWTP) mechanical installations are well underway, while water treatment plant (WTP) foundation works commenced as planned.
Accelerated Operations and Readiness
Open Pit Mining
The open pit mine successfully continued to ramp up during Q4 2025 with four crews operating ahead of plan in building ore stockpiles for the process plant start-up. At the end of Q4 2025, there were approximately 1.2 million tonnes of open pit and underground ore on stockpiles containing approximately 47.3 thousand ounces of gold and 12.5 million pounds of copper. Grade control drilling covering 95% of the Phase 1 open pit has been completed and confirmed the first three years of production.
Underground Development
Underground access development rates continued to accelerate. A total of 1,155 metres of underground development was completed in Q4 2025. During 2025, underground development totalled 3,092 metres, which was approximately 900 metres more development than budgeted during the year.
The test stope program delivered high quality results during the quarter. The first of two test stopes were completely mined out and the second test stope mining will be completed in February 2026. Each test stope mined to date is expected to provide approximately 72kt of ore, with dimensions of 60 metres in height and an area of 30 by 15 metres. Ore fragmentation has exceeded expectations, and stope cavity monitoring and extraction has met our expectations. This success has increased our confidence in the planned trial of four larger test stopes in 2026, each designed at approximately 97kt per stope with dimensions of 60 metres in height and an area of 30 by 20 metres per stope.
Semi-autonomous ore loading and open stope drilling, with operators on surface (no operator on the equipment), was successfully used during the mining of these two test stopes. This technology enables a single operator to control several pieces of equipment simultaneously, increasing safety, drill accuracy and productivity, reducing idle time between shifts and during blast clearance, and decreasing associated costs.
Processing
Additional testing of tailings filter cloths is underway for the infill drilling program and from bulk samples from the open pit ore already mined and stockpiled. An initial inventory strategy has been established to support operational resilience and continuity of supply of filter cloths. This strategy includes maintaining six complete cloth sets sourced from three different vendors.
Engineering and technical optimization efforts continued for the start-up tailings placement area, and operational readiness activities for tailings stacking.
Workforce
As at December 31, 2025, there were approximately 2,350 personnel working on site, including 415 Skouries employees.

Gold sales in 2025 totalled 491,204 ounces, a decrease of 5% from 517,926 ounces in 2024, and 126,923 ounces in Q4 2025, a decrease of 19% from 156,864 ounces in Q4 2024. The lower sales volume in both periods compared to prior year primarily reflected planned lower production across all sites.
The average realized gold price(4) was $3,505 per ounce sold in 2025, an increase from $2,405 per ounce sold in 2024, and $4,251 per ounce sold in Q4 2025 compared to $2,625 per ounce sold in Q4 2024, and benefitted from strengthening metal prices throughout the year.
Total revenue was $1,818.9 million in 2025, an increase of 38% from revenue of $1,322.6 million in 2024, and $577.2 million in Q4 2025, an increase of 32% from revenue of $435.7 million in Q4 2024. The increase in both periods was due to higher average realized gold prices partially offset by lower volumes sold.
Production costs increased to $677.6 million in 2025 from $564.2 million in 2024 and increased to $203.0 million in Q4 2025 from $172.1 million in Q4 2024. Increases in both periods were driven by higher royalties, accounting for approximately 40% of the increase to production costs in the year-over-year comparison. Additionally, there are rising labour costs in Turkiye where cost inflation continues to outpace the devaluation of the local currency, as well as at Lamaque, where additional costs were incurred on labour and contractors due to the deepening of the production centre of the Triangle Mine, resulting in increased haulage distance, equipment and personnel requirements.
Production costs include royalty expense, which increased to $124.3 million in 2025 from $79.4 million in 2024, and increased to $44.7 million in Q4 2025 from $26.4 million in Q4 2024 due to higher average gold prices. In Turkiye, royalties are paid on revenue less certain costs associated with ore haulage, mineral processing and related depreciation and are calculated on the basis of a sliding scale according to the average London Metal Exchange gold price during the calendar year. Effective July 24, 2025, amendments to Turkish Mining Law were enacted, which included changes to the base rate table for state royalties on gold metal sales. The price-linked sliding scale of royalty rates has broadened with increasing rate bands, with the highest band at a maximum gold price of $5,101/oz, an expansion from the previous maximum of $2,101/oz. In Greece, royalties are paid on revenue and calculated on a sliding scale tied to international gold and base metal prices and the EUR/USD exchange rate.
Total cash costs(4) averaged $1,176 per ounce sold in 2025, an increase from $940 per ounce sold in 2024. In Q4 2025, total cash costs averaged $1,295 per ounce sold, an increase from $944 per ounce sold in Q4 2024. The increase in both periods was primarily due to higher royalty expense driven by higher gold prices and unit costs, as well as lower gold volumes sold.
AISC per ounce sold(4) increased to $1,664 in 2025 from $1,285 in 2024, and to $1,894 in Q4 2025 from $1,226 in Q4 2024. The increase in both periods primarily reflect higher total cash costs per ounce sold as discussed above and higher sustaining capital expenditures.
The Company reported net earnings attributable to shareholders from continuing operations of $519.9 million ($2.56 basic earnings per share) in 2025, compared to $300.9 million ($1.48 basic earnings per share) in 2024 and net earnings of $252.3 million ($1.26 basic earnings per share) in Q4 2025, compared to net earnings of $108.2 million ($0.53 basic earnings per share) in Q4 2024. Net earnings attributable to shareholders from continuing operations increased in 2025 and Q4 2025 primarily due to higher revenue from higher average realized gold prices, partially offset by higher production costs and losses on derivative instruments.
Adjusted net earnings attributable to shareholders from continuing operations(4) was $354.9 million ($1.75 per share) in 2025, compared to $320.7 million ($1.57 per share) in 2024. Adjustments of non-recurring items in 2025 include removing a $177.7 million recovery for the recognition of deferred tax assets, a $18.7 million gain on foreign exchange due to the translation of deferred tax balances, and a $39.4 million unrealized loss on derivative instruments, among other items. Adjusted net earnings(3) was $126.1 million ($0.63 per share) in Q4 2025, removing a $104.2 million recovery for the recognition of deferred tax assets, a $27.4 million unrealized gain on derivative instruments and a $3.9 million loss on foreign exchange due to the translation of deferred tax balances, among other items.

Kisladag
Kisladag produced 168,701 ounces of gold in 2025, a 3% decrease from 174,080 ounces in 2024 due to fewer tonnes placed on the pad and lower grades stacked during 2025. Similarly, gold production of 41,140 ounces in the quarter decreased 27% from 56,483 ounces in Q4 2024, due to lower available stacked ounces. In the year, lower grades of 0.73 grams per tonne in 2025 compared to 0.81 grams per tonne in 2024, resulted in lower recoverable ounces stacked in the quarter.
Revenue increased to $595.8 million in 2025 from $423.5 million in 2024 and increased to $185.7 million from $150.3 million in Q4 2024, reflecting higher average realized prices, offsetting lower gold volumes sold in both periods.
Production costs increased to $221.1 million in 2025 from $162.7 million in 2024 and to $70.8 million in Q4 2025 from $56.1 million in Q4 2024. The increases in both periods were primarily due to higher royalty expense from higher average realized gold prices and increased royalty rates effective from Q3 2025, as well as rising labour costs and costs of local services mainly driven by inflation exceeding the devaluation of the local currency. As a result, total cash costs per ounce sold increased to $1,264 in 2025 from $918 in 2024 and $1,593 in Q4 2025 from $978 in Q4 2024, which was also impacted by lower ounces sold.
Depreciation expense decreased to $90.6 million in 2025 from $93.7 million in 2024 due to lower ounces produced and sold during the year.
AISC per ounce sold increased to $1,478 in 2025 from $1,025 in 2024 and increased to $1,933 in Q4 2025 from $1,073 in Q4 2024 due to higher total cash costs per ounce sold and higher sustaining capital expenditures.
Sustaining capital expenditures were $28.1 million in 2025, including $12.0 million in Q4 2025, primarily related to equipment rebuilds, and heap leach pad interlifts. Growth capital investment was $104.9 million in 2025, including $34.8 million in Q4 2025 primarily for waste stripping and associated equipment costs to support the mine life extension, continued construction of the second and third phases of the North heap leap pad and additional North adsorption, desorption and recovery (“ADR”) plant infrastructure, as well as technical studies.
Following a comprehensive technical and economic assessment, with a focus on capital discipline, whole ore agglomeration was decoupled from additional screening for the high pressure grinding rolls. This allows for the implementation of the whole ore agglomeration circuit. The investment is expected to be approximately $35 million, and is expected to enhance permeability, improve kinetics, and shorten the leach cycle. Procurement of long-lead items commenced in Q4 2025, with installation of the agglomeration drums targeted for 2027.
Following the Q2 2025 decision to expand the secondary crusher circuit to facilitate operational debottlenecking and reduce wear on the HPGR, a new crusher has been ordered, and is expected to be delivered and installed in H2 2026.
The geometallurgical study for characterization of future mining phases continues and will evaluate the benefit of additional screening for the HPGR and whole ore agglomeration. This study is expected to be complete in H1 2026.
The higher metal price environment has created a significant opportunity for the Kisladag open pit, to allow us to evaluate the opportunity to move from a $1,700 to a $2,100 pit shell, which is expected to open up the western area of the pit and support resource expansion. To facilitate this opportunity and assist in resolving ongoing geotechnical challenges in the open pit, we expect to increase waste stripping in 2026 by 6 to 8 million tonnes. The mine optimization plan is expected to be beneficial in the long-term by improved balancing of ore and waste movement and supporting consistent year-over-year performance.
Lamaque
Lamaque produced 187,208 ounces of gold in 2025, a 5% decrease from 196,538 ounces in 2024 as a result of lower average grades and recoveries, partially offset by higher ore throughput. Gold production of 49,307 ounces in the quarter was lower compared to 63,742 ounces in Q4 2024 due to lower throughput rates as a result of a planned shutdown in Q4 and lower grades which influenced lower average recoveries. The gold grade decreased to 6.78 grams per tonne in Q4 2025 from 8.05 grams per tonne in 2025 due to mine sequencing, as well as the high-grade Ormaque bulk sample processed in Q4 2024.
Revenue increased to $658.2 million in 2025 from $473.0 million in 2024 and increased to $210.7 million from $165.2 million in Q4 2024. The increase in both periods is due to higher average realized gold prices.
Production costs increased to $150.8 million in 2025 from $140.3 million in 2024, and to $43.0 million in the quarter from $38.7 million in Q4 2024, primarily due to higher royalties and additional costs incurred for labour, contractors, and equipment rentals. As a result, total cash costs per ounce sold increased to $790 in 2025 from $711 in 2024, and increased to $841 in Q4 2025, from $615 in Q4 2024.
AISC per ounce sold increased to $1,302 in 2025 from $1,134 in 2024, and $1,392 in Q4 2025 from $933 in Q4 2024 primarily reflecting higher total cash costs per ounce sold and higher sustaining capital expenditures during the year.
Sustaining capital expenditures were $94.1 million in 2025, including $26.8 million in Q4 2025, primarily related to underground development, delineation drilling, equipment rebuilds and purchases. Growth capital investments of $65.2 million in 2025, including $17.7 million in Q4 2025, primarily related to Ormaque development, construction of the north basin water management structure, procurement of the paste plant, as well as resource conversion drilling.
Efemcukuru
Efemcukuru produced 72,482 payable ounces of gold in 2025, a 10% decrease from 80,143 payable ounces in 2024, reflecting predominately lower grades. Gold production of 14,496 payable ounces in the quarter was 25% lower than 19,451 payable ounces produced in Q4 2024, due to lower grades despite higher tonnes milled.
Revenue increased to $275.0 million in 2025 from $199.9 million in 2024 and to $69.1 million in Q4 2025 from $51.0 million in Q4 2024. Increases in both periods were driven by higher average realized gold prices, offsetting lower ounces sold.
Production costs increased to $118.1 million in 2025 from $99.9 million in 2024 and increased to $32.6 million in Q4 2025 from $26.9 million in Q4 2024, primarily driven by higher royalty expense as a result of higher gold prices and increased royalty rates in Turkiye effective in Q3 2025. Higher direct operating costs, including labour, were driven by inflation exceeding the devaluation of local currency. Operating cost increases and lower gold production in the year resulted in an increase in total cash costs per ounce sold to $1,510 in 2025, from $1,231 in 2024 and increased to $1,929 in Q4 2025 from $1,376 in Q4 2024.
AISC per ounce sold increased to $1,846 in 2025 from $1,411 in 2024 and to $2,536 in Q4 2025 from $1,650 in Q4 2024, primarily reflecting higher total cash costs per ounce sold and higher sustaining capital expenditures as a result of increased development.
Sustaining capital expenditure was $22.9 million in 2025, including $8.6 million in Q4 2025, related primarily to underground development as well as equipment rebuilds and purchases. Growth capital investment was $13.4 million in 2025, including $5.0 million in Q4 2025 related to both underground and portal development at Kokarpinar and development costs at Bati.
Olympias
Olympias produced 59,877 ounces of gold in 2025, a 14% decrease from 69,532 ounces in 2024. This primarily reflects lower throughput and recoveries during the year as a result of persistent flotation circuit stability issues due to a paste backfill blend that affected the water chemistry, as well as equipment availability constraints.
Gold production of 18,473 ounces in Q4 2025 increased from 15,992 ounces in Q4 2024 as a result of higher gold grades and recoveries despite slightly lower throughput. Lead and silver production decreased in the period compared to Q4 2024, primarily reflecting lower grades.
Revenue increased to $289.9 million in 2025 from $226.2 million in 2024 and increased to $111.7 million in Q4 2025 from $69.3 million in Q4 2024, as a result of a higher average realized gold price, offset by lower sales volumes in both periods.
Production costs increased to $187.6 million in 2025 from $161.3 million in 2024 and to $56.7 million in Q4 2025 from $50.4 million in Q4 2024. Costs were higher in the quarter and for the year compared to 2024 primarily due to the stronger Euro as well as higher royalties as a result of higher gold prices. These impacts were offset by higher by-product credits from base metal sales, which benefitted from the impact of higher silver prices. This resulted in total cash costs per ounce sold decreasing to $1,324 in Q4 2025 from $1,463 in Q4 2024. Total cash costs per ounce sold increased to $1,722 in 2025 from $1,304 in 2024 due to higher royalties and lower ounces sold.
AISC per ounce sold of $1,676 in Q4 2025 was comparable to $1,669 in Q4 2024. AISC per ounce sold increased to $2,145 in 2025 from $1,562 in 2024 primarily due to higher total cash costs, lower volumes sold and higher sustaining capital expenditures.
Sustaining capital expenditure increased to $24.1 million in 2025 from $15.4 million in 2024 and to $6.5 million in Q4 2025 from $2.9 million in Q4 2024. Spending in both periods primarily included underground development and mobile mining equipment rebuilds and purchases. Growth capital investments in 2025 relate to underground development and mill expansion infrastructure. The mill expansion to 650 ktpa (from 500 ktpa currently) continued to progress with completion expected in Q3 2026 and ramp-up expected in Q4 2026.
