Eldorado Gold Corporation (TSX:ELD) (NYSE:EGO) releases its updated Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource 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 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.
