Commentary

“As expected, first quarter gold production was aligned with our second half-weighted annual guidance, with 100,358 ounces produced,” said George Burns, Chief Executive Officer. “Continued strength in gold prices supported solid financial results during the quarter, reflecting disciplined operating performance and the quality of our asset base. During the quarter, we continued returning capital to shareholders through share buybacks and paid our first quarterly dividend, underscoring our commitment to sustainable shareholder returns.

During the quarter, construction at Skouries continued to advance and remains on track for first concentrate production in Q3 and commercial production in Q4. As execution activities have progressed and the project advances toward construction completion on schedule we have updated the forecast-to-complete and, as a result we have revised the estimate of total project capital to approximately $1.315 billion, an increase of approximately $155 million from the prior estimate. This reflects incremental costs related to labour, project and support overheads and materials across multiple work fronts and foreign exchange impacts. The primary driver of the increase is related to the contractor workforce levels to sustain execution momentum. We believe that advancing Skouries into safe production in the current metal price environment is a key driver of value creation, and this incremental capital reflects our continued focus on maintaining momentum toward first concentrate production.

We also received the Ormaque operating authorization, enhancing production flexibility at the Lamaque Complex by enabling ore from two mines to feed the mill. In addition, we strengthened our execution capabilities with the promotion of Simon Hille to Chief Operating Officer and the addition of Gordana Vicentijevic as Senior Vice President, Projects, reinforcing our focus on delivery certainty and long‑term value creation.

Subsequent to quarter end, we completed the acquisition of Foran, adding McIlvenna Bay to our portfolio, a high‑quality, multi‑decade Canadian copper‑zinc‑gold-silver asset to our portfolio. The project also offers significant exploration upside across a prospective district-scale land package, including near-mine targets such as the Tesla Zone. Since closing the acquisition, we have approved approximately $17 million of exploration spending in 2026, reflecting the highly target‑rich nature of the district and the potential to further extend mine life and support future growth. Collectively, these actions highlight our focus on execution and building a high-quality, long-life portfolio.”

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 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

Concentrate commercial terms remain agreed and final offtake contract negotiations are in progress. With robust market conditions for copper gold concentrates continuing in 2026, we remain confident of achieving significantly stronger terms than those assumed in the 2022 feasibility study assumptions.

Capital Estimate and Schedule

As execution activities have progressed and the project advances toward construction completion on schedule, the Company has updated its forecast-to-complete and, as a result has revised its estimate of total project capital for phase 2 to approximately $1.315 billion. This reflects an incremental $155 million related to labour, project and support overheads and materials costs across multiple work fronts and foreign exchange impacts. Additional contractor resources have been and continue to be required to sustain momentum. Since mid Q1 2026 when the onsite workforce totaled approximately 2,350 employees and contractors, workforce levels have increased to over 3,200 currently, including the addition of specialized EU‑based contractors. This expanded workforce has supported continued progress across critical work fronts. The total workforce is expected to remain above 3,200 throughout the second quarter of 2026, followed by a planned and significant reduction in onsite labour in the third quarter as construction is completed, contractors are demobilized, and staffing levels normalize to support steady-state operations as the project transitions from construction into operations.

The project remains fully funded through operating cash flow, cash and debt financing. The Term Facility totalling €680.4 million ($782.3 million) is fully drawn (and the Contingent Overrun Facility of €60.0 million remains undrawn).

Project capital totalled $135.6 million in Q1 2026 and as of March 31, 2026, cumulative project capital invested towards Phase 2 of construction totalled $1.116 billion.

The accelerated operational capital cost estimate for Skouries has increased to approximately $260 million, reflecting an incremental $82 million investment focused on expanded pre‑commercial underground and open‑pit mining. These activities are supporting continued growth of the ore stockpiles ahead of first production, further advancement of the underground mine and advancing the site general earthworks. This incremental capital supports a smooth ramp‑up into production.

The Company is well positioned for start‑up, with over 2.8 million tonnes of ore stockpiled which provides the entire planned mill tonnage for 2026. Open pit and underground ore mining will continue for the balance of 2026 and will be blended to maximize cash flow with lower value ore being stockpiled for future years.

Commissioning continues in the fire, utility, and process water systems. Pre-commissioning for the SAG and Ball mill instrumentation, electrical and control systems has started. Pre-commissioning started in the flotation area with focus on air and instrumentation for the flotation cells. Wet commissioning has started for the process-water pumps and tailings thickeners.

Integrated Extractive Waste Management Facility

Preparation works for the initial tailings placement area is progressing, with engineering fill continuing in the first part of Q2 2026.

Construction of the low-grade ore stockpile continued advancing with the planned sequence focused on the lower section.

Excavation of the southern diversion trench is ongoing and ramping up in the more favorable dry season.

Accelerated Operations and Readiness

Open Pit Mining

The open pit mine continued to ramp up during Q1 2026 and remains ahead of plan in building ore stockpiles for the process plant start-up. The open pit team delivered 877 kt of ore to stockpiles during Q1 2026. At the end of Q1 2026 the stockpiles contained approximately 2.3 million tonnes of open pit and underground ore. The stockpile metal content is approximately 84,000 ounces of gold and 24 million pounds of copper. Grade control drilling of the open pit phase 1 has been completed

Underground Development

The underground mine delivered 140 kt of ore to the ore stockpiles during Q1 2026. Underground access development rates continued to accelerate. A total of 1,333 meters of underground development was completed in Q1 2026. The monthly advance during March 2026 was 607 meters, a step up towards the approximate 700 meters per month we are targeting during the remaining months of the year. The underground ventilation system has been upgraded enabling ventilation of the 350 level where the remaining four test stopes will be mined this year.

The second test stope was completed with ore fragmentation, stope cavity monitoring and extraction exceeding expectations. Development of both the east and west declines continues, and development to access the next four test stopes started in Q2 2026.

Based on the successful completion of the first two test stopes, the Company has the opportunity to expand the stope design to support greater productivity, with the planned four larger test stopes designed at approximately 100 kt per stope

Processing

Three of the four processing operations and maintenance teams have successfully completed their theoretical training and are now completing job familiarization training at both Skouries and Olympias sites. The fourth team will commence theory training in Q2 2026.

Several key readiness activities are advancing according to plan. Procurement of maintenance spares is advancing on plan for completion in Q2, consignment stock agreements are in place with the main OEM’s and the tailings placement design has been completed.

Twelve highly experienced process plant ramp-up experts have been contracted to support the operations team during the first three months of operations.

Workforce

As at March 31, 2026, there were approximately 3,000 personnel working on site, including 450 Skouries employees.

McIlvenna Bay Project – Canada

The McIlvenna Bay Project, located in Saskatchewan, Canada, is a copper-zinc-gold-silver rich development project added on April 14, 2026, with the acquisition of Foran. In March 2025, Foran published a McIlvenna Bay Project Feasibility Study, with an 18 year mine life and average life of mine production of 41 million pounds of copper, 20,000 ounces of gold, 444,000 ounces of silver and 54 million pounds of zinc.

The mine is expected to have a long life and is supported by a robust resource base, with highly prospective exploration upside across the broader district, including the nearby Tesla Zone. McIlvenna Bay is nearing first production and is expected to achieve commercial production in Q3 2026.

Located in one of the world’s most attractive mining jurisdictions, the project benefits from excellent infrastructure and is designated by the Government of Canada as a project of national significance to support critical mineral development. McIlvenna Bay is expected to enhance Eldorado’s production profile, increase exposure to copper, and contribute to long-term cash flow generation.

Following the close of the acquisition the Company is currently working to fully integrate McIlvenna Bay. Updated production and cost guidance, including timing related to potential expansion studies and an evaluation of the potential addition of a silver-lead circuit, will be provided in conjunction with the Company’s Q2 2026 Operational and Financial Update.

Consolidated Financial and Operational Highlights

Gold production in Q1 2026 totalled 100,358 ounces of gold, a 13% decrease from Q1 2025 production of 115,893 ounces. This primarily reflected decreases at Kisladag due to the planned lower tonnes and ore grade stacked, and decreases at Efemcukuru due to lower ore grade, partially offset by an increase at Olympias and Lamaque due to higher grade and recoveries.

Gold sales in Q1 2026 totalled 100,619 ounces, a 13% decrease from 116,263 ounces sold in Q1 2025 due to the impact of lower production in Q1 2026.

The average realized gold price⁽⁴⁾ was $4,891 per ounce sold in Q1 2026, an increase of 67% from $2,933 per ounce sold in Q1 2025. As a result, total revenue was $532.4 million in Q1 2026, an increase of 50% from total revenue of $355.2 million in Q1 2025.

Production costs increased to $188.2 million in Q1 2026 from $148.3 million in Q1 2025 mainly due to an increase in royalties in Turkiye and Greece, which accounted for approximately 70% of the increase to production costs. The remainder relates primarily to increases in labour costs, due to cost inflation in Turkiye, higher volumes produced at Lamaque and Olympias, and additional costs incurred in labour and contractors due to deepening the production centre of the Triangle Mine at Lamaque. Production costs include royalty expense, which increased to $50.1 million in Q1 2026 from $22.2 million in Q1 2025 due to higher average realized gold prices and higher royalty rates, partially offset by lower sales volumes. 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⁽⁵⁾ in Q1 2026 averaged $1,470 per ounce sold, an increase from $1,153 per ounce sold in Q1 2025, primarily due to higher royalty expense driven by higher gold prices, lower volumes sold, as well as impacts from labour. AISC per ounce sold⁽⁵⁾increased to $1,942 in Q1 2026 from $1,559 in Q1 2025, mainly due to higher total cash costs per ounce sold in Q1 2026.

The Company reported net earnings attributable to shareholders from continuing operations of $136.4 million ($0.69 basic earnings per share) in Q1 2026, compared to net earnings of $72.0 million ($0.35 basic earnings per share) in Q1 2025. Higher net earnings in Q1 2026 is primarily attributable to higher average realized gold prices, partially offset by lower volumes sold, higher production costs and higher income tax expense.

Adjusted net earnings⁽⁵⁾ was $188.2 million ($0.95 basic earnings per share) in Q1 2026, compared to adjusted net earnings of $56.4 million ($0.28 basic earnings per share) in Q1 2025. Adjustments of non-recurring items in Q1 2026 include removing an $18.3 million loss on foreign exchange translation of deferred tax balances, a $20.0 million unrealized loss on derivative instruments, and a $7.7 million expense relating to acquisition costs.

Quarterly Operations Update

Gold Operations

Kisladag

Kisladag produced 28,339 ounces of gold in Q1 2026, a 36% decrease from 44,319 ounces in Q1 2025. The decrease was due to the planned lower tonnes and ore grade stacked in the first quarter, in addition to the accelerated waste removal from phase 6 and the western area which is underway. The average grade of tonnes placed decreased to 0.44 grams per tonne in Q1 2026 from 0.79 grams per tonne in Q1 2025.

Revenue increased to $145.7 million in Q1 2026 from $129.2 million in Q1 2025, driven by the higher average realized gold price, partially offset by lower gold ounces sold.

Production costs increased to $56.7 million in Q1 2026 from $47.5 million in Q1 2025, driven by higher royalty rates as a result of higher realized gold prices, partially offset by lower ounces sold. On a per ounce sold basis, higher production costs and lower ounces produced resulted in total cash costs per ounce sold increasing to $1,896 in Q1 2026 from $1,039 in Q1 2025.

AISC per ounce sold increased to $2,060 in Q1 2026 from $1,138 in Q1 2025, primarily due to higher total cash costs per ounce sold and higher sustaining capital expenditures.

Sustaining capital expenditures of $3.5 million in Q1 2026 primarily included equipment rebuilds and geometallurgical drilling. Growth capital investment of $51.3 million in Q1 2026 includes multiple purchases of land totalling $23.9 million required for the construction of the North Heap Leach Pad (“NHLP”) and North Rock Dump, with the balance of $27.4 million related primarily to waste stripping and associated equipment costs as well as continued construction of the NHLP Phase 3.

The geometallurgical study, characterizing future mining phases and evaluating the benefit of additional screening for the high pressure grinding rolls and whole ore agglomeration, is expected to be complete in Q2 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 six to eight 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.

For 2026, production guidance at Kisladag is 105,000 to 130,000 ounces of gold. Production is expected to decrease in the second quarter as a result of an extended 14-day planned shutdown for roll replacement and installation of the secondary crushing screen.

Lamaque

Lamaque produced 42,306 ounces of gold in Q1 2026, a 5% increase from 40,438 ounces in Q1 2025 primarily driven by higher grade ore, which includes the positive impact of Ormaque ore following receipt of the operating authorization in March, partially offset by lower throughput. Average grade increased to 6.20 grams per tonne in Q1 2026 from 5.38 grams per tonne in Q1 2025.

Revenue increased to $219.6 million in Q1 2026 from $122.0 million in Q1 2025 primarily due to the higher average realized gold price combined with an increase in gold ounces sold during the quarter.

Production costs increased to $41.8 million in Q1 2026 from $35.7 million in Q1 2025, reflecting higher costs and higher volume sold. As the centre of production at the Triangle Mine deepens, additional costs are incurred for haulage, equipment and personnel requirements. Total cash costs per ounce sold increased to $904 in Q1 2026 from $836 in Q1 2025 primarily due to higher costs, including mining costs for Ormaque as well as higher royalties due to the higher realized average gold price, partially offset by higher ounces sold.

AISC per ounce sold decreased to $1,370 in Q1 2026 from $1,392 in Q1 2025, primarily due to modestly lower sustaining capital and higher volumes sold, partially offset by the increase in total cash costs per ounce sold.

Sustaining capital expenditures of $20.2 million in Q1 2026 primarily related to underground development, delineation drilling, equipment rebuilds and purchases. Growth capital investment of $27.8 million in Q1 2026 primarily related to Ormaque development, construction of the north basin water management structure, construction of the paste plant, and ramp development at the Triangle Mine.

In 2026, production guidance at Lamaque is 185,000 to 200,000 ounces of gold. Production is expected to increase in the second quarter with higher grades expected as a result of mine sequencing and increased throughput.

Efemcukuru

Efemcukuru produced 15,394 payable ounces of gold in Q1 2026, a decrease from 19,307 payable ounces in Q1 2025 driven by lower gold grade of 3.92 grams per tonne in Q1 2026 from 5.52 grams per tonne in Q1 2025, partly offset by higher throughput during the quarter.

Revenue increased to $78.6 million in Q1 2026 compared to $57.5 million in Q1 2025. The increase was due to the higher average realized gold price, partially offset by lower gold sold.

Production costs increased to $37.6 million in Q1 2026 from $24.7 million in Q1 2025 driven by higher royalty rates as a result of higher realized gold prices. Additionally, lower gold ounces sold resulted in an increase in total cash costs per ounce sold to $2,208 in Q1 2026, from $1,357 in Q1 2025.

AISC per ounce sold increased to $2,528 in Q1 2026 from $1,550 in Q1 2025, primarily due to the increase in total cash costs per ounce sold, as well as higher sustaining capital expenditures as a result of increased development.

Sustaining capital expenditures of $4.6 million in Q1 2026 related primarily to underground development. Growth capital investment of $2.4 million related to both portal development for Kokarpinar and development costs at Bati.

For 2026, production guidance at Efemcukuru is forecast to be 70,000 to 80,000 ounces of gold. Production in the second quarter is expected to be consistent with the first quarter.

Olympias

Olympias produced 14,319 payable ounces of gold in Q1 2026, a 21% increase from 11,829 ounces in Q1 2025. The increase is a reflection of stable ore blend and flotation performance which resulted in increased metal recoveries.

Revenue increased to $88.5 million in Q1 2026 compared to $46.5 million in Q1 2025 primarily as a result of higher realized gold price, as well as higher sales volumes, grades and recoveries of gold and base metals.

Production costs increased to $52.1 million in Q1 2026 from $40.3 million in Q1 2025. Increases in costs were driven primarily by higher royalties due to the higher realized gold price, combined with the stronger Euro and its impact on costs in local currency, including labour. Total cash costs decreased to $1,628 in Q1 2026 from $2,398 in Q1 2025 due to higher allocation of costs to by-products and higher gold ounces sold, partially offset by higher royalties.

AISC per ounce sold decreased to $2,031 in Q1 2026 from $2,842 in Q1 2025 primarily due to lower total cash cost per ounce sold and higher volumes sold. Sustaining capital expenditures of $4.6 million in Q1 2026 primarily included underground development, underground resource classification drilling and mobile mining equipment rebuilds and purchases. Growth capital investment of $8.0 million in Q1 2026 was driven by the mill expansion project, with sequential completion expected in Q3 2026 and ramp-up expected in Q4 2026.

For 2026, production guidance at Olympias is forecast to be 70,000 to 80,000 ounces of gold. Production in the second quarter is expected to increase with higher grades expected as a result of mine sequencing.
