Third Quarter 2025 Highlights
Operations
Financial
Production and Cost Outlook
Corporate
“Driven by sustained high gold prices, we delivered a strong financial performance during this quarter, generating $76.9 million in free cash flow, excluding our investment in Skouries,” said George Burns, Chief Executive Officer. “We advanced development at Ormaque and successfully completed processing of the second bulk ore sample. The Olympias expansion to 650,000 tonnes per annum remains on track, while at Kisladag, we are moving forward with whole ore agglomeration as part of our growth initiatives. These projects along with other ongoing efforts across our portfolio are key near-term drivers to our strategy for long-term value creation, supporting increased production, lower costs and enhanced profitability.
“The Skouries Project marked a significant milestone this week with the successful execution of the first underground test stope blast, reinforcing its steady progress. In the open pit, four crews are now operational, and we are transitioning to a rotation running 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Ore stockpiling is well underway in preparation for the project’s commissioning phase, with first concentrate production expected toward the end of Q1 2026. We continue to de-risk key areas ahead of schedule and have initiated early pre-operational testing and operational readiness activities across various areas at site. Our focus remains on safety and disciplined execution through the final phases of mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation as we continue to maintain the project schedule and budget.
“Our continued share buybacks, totaling approximately $78.8 million this quarter, underscore our disciplined approach to capital allocation and confidence in our long-term growth. With robust gold prices and a strong balance sheet, we’re committed to returning capital to shareholders while advancing our strategic priorities.”
Board Succession
Eldorado also announces today, as part of its ongoing succession planning, the appointment of Samantha Espley to its Board of Directors as of October 1, 2025 and the resignation of John Webster, effective November 1, 2025.
“On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank John Webster, who is stepping down from the Board,” said Steve Reid, Board Chair of Eldorado Gold. During his nearly 11 years of service, John made significant contributions across several key Board committees, most notably as Chair of the Audit Committee. His strategic insight, sound judgment, and steady leadership throughout a period of substantial growth and transformation have been invaluable to both the Board and Eldorado’s leadership team. We are sincerely grateful for his dedication and lasting impact.”
“In addition, we are pleased to welcome Samantha Espley to the Board. With more than 35 years of leadership in the mining and resource sector, including senior roles with Vale Base Metals and Glencore, Samantha brings exceptional technical expertise, board experience, and a strong commitment to innovation and sustainability. Her distinguished career and numerous honours reflect her deep contributions to the industry and to advancing excellence in engineering and mining. We look forward to her insight and leadership as part of the Board,” said Steve Reid.
Return of Capital to Shareholders
During the third quarter, Eldorado repurchased 2,984,649 common shares and cancelled 2,754,208 common shares under its normal course issuer bid at an average price of $26.40 (C$36.52) per share for a total of approximately $78.8 million (C$109.0 million).
Skouries Highlights
The Skouries Project, part of the Kassandra Mines complex, is located within the Halkidiki Peninsula of Northern Greece and is a copper-gold porphyry 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 of 140,000 ounces of gold and 67 million pounds of copper.
Capital Estimate and Schedule
In Q1 2025, the capital cost estimate for Skouries was revised to $1.06 billion, with an additional $154 million in accelerated operational capital prior to commercial production, announced in a news release dated February 5, 2025. The project remains fully funded through equity and project financing. The Commercial Loan Facility and the RRF Facility totalling €680.4 million ($798.9 million) are now fully drawn.
First production of the copper-gold concentrate is expected toward the end of Q1 2026 and commercial production is expected in mid-2026, with 2026 gold production projected to be between 135,000 and 155,000 ounces and copper production projected to be between 45 and 60 million pounds.
Project capital totalled $137.7 million in Q3 2025 and $338.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Accelerated operational capital was $17.7 million in Q3 2025 and $51.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. At September 30, 2025, cumulative project capital invested towards Phase 2 of construction totalled $843.4 million4 and the cumulative accelerated operational capital totalled $58.2 million.
In 2025, the project capital spend has been revised upward to $440 to $470 million reflecting the acceleration of work across several non-critical path areas and proactive de-risking efforts. The accelerated operational capital remains on track and is expected to be between $80 and $100 million.
Construction Activities
As at September 30, 2025 overall project progress was 73% complete for Phase 2 of construction, and 86% when including the first phase of construction.
Filtered Tailings Plant
Work continues to progress on the filtered tailings plant, which remains on the critical path. The filtered tailings building structural steel installation was 80% complete at the end of the quarter and approximately 92% at the end of October. Mechanical work progressed with the assembly of the filter presses with four complete at quarter end and the remaining two on plan for completion in November.
The compressor building steel structure assembly reached 78% complete over the quarter and approximately 98% at the end of October. Mechanical installations are advancing with the installation of all six compressors and air receivers installed.
The filter plant tank farm construction has progressed with all five tanks assembled and water tested with internal coating work now in progress.
Primary Crusher
Progress continues on the construction of the crusher building structure. The concrete has advanced to the final elevation above the foundation with the final wall lifts advancing. The primary crusher is assembled in position and work is underway on cable tray and internal structural steel stairways and platforms. Conveyor foundations between the primary crusher and process plant, inclusive of the coarse ore stockpile are complete. The stockpile dome foundation is expected to be complete in November, and pre-assembly of the stockpile dome has commenced. Conveyor pre-assembly is advancing and conveyor support steel installation is underway. The first of the three reclaim feeders and associated chute work has been installed and pre-assembly continues on the remaining two reclaim feeders.
Process Plant
Work in the process plant continues to expand to additional work fronts for cable tray, cable, piping and mechanical installations. The final building foundations for support infrastructure were completed in early October. Structural, mechanical, piping and electrical installations continue in the support infrastructure areas.
Work continues on the support infrastructure with the process plant substation electrical installations underway. The lime plant, flotation blowers, compressors and guar areas are all in various stages of mechanical, piping and electrical installations. The control building structure is complete and electrical installation work is underway on the first two levels.
Pre-commissioning of the concentrate filter presses has been completed along with all water testing in the flotation cells and tanks. Preparations are underway to start pre-commissioning of the pebble crusher with the addition of first fills and punch listing construction completion items. Piping and cable installations continued to ramp up over the quarter with a focus on flotation, grinding and utilities such as process water and fire water.
Thickeners
Construction of the three tailings thickeners progressed on plan during the quarter. Water testing of the first two thickeners has been completed, and piping installations have commenced as the pipe rack installations are completed. Work is advancing on the associated infrastructure with the pumphouse building piping and electrical work underway, and tank installations in the flocculant building. The thickeners secondary substation building is in the final interior finishing stage with electrical installations planned to start in Q4 2025.
Integrated Extractive Waste Management Facility
During the quarter, foundation preparation for the Karatzas Lakkos (KL) embankment continued, with notable commencement of the placement of the under-drainage layer in the center of the valley. At water management pond 2, liner placement preparation, consisting of shotcrete and geofabric placement commenced to enable the installation of the high-density polyethylene liner during Q4 2025.
Construction of the low-grade ore stockpile (lower part) started in the quarter. This area is important to the sequence of the KL embankment, which will be constructed over the lower part of the low-grade ore stockpile. The construction water management system has been upgraded significantly. The installed diversions, sumps (15), pumps and pipes are intended to mitigate water run-off from impacting construction progress.
Underground Development
Underground access development rates continued to accelerate during the quarter and are currently achieving approximately 400 metres per month. At the end of the quarter, the test stope drilling and the two raise-bore slots were completed, and the first test stope blast was successfully executed at the end of October.
Engineering, Procurement, and Operational Readiness
Engineering
Engineering works are substantially complete. The focus recently has been on closing out the remaining engineering activities and providing technical clarifications when required to support construction.
Procurement
All major procurement is complete. The focus continues on managing and expediting deliveries to support construction and the close-out of completed purchase orders.
Operations including Operational Readiness
The open pit mine has ramped up operations and at the end of Q3 2025 was operating with three (of four) crews. At the end of Q3 there was approximately 349,000 tonnes of open pit and underground ore on stockpile, containing approximately 9,800 oz of gold and 2.7 million pounds of copper. Grade control drilling covering 75% of the Phase 1 open pit has been completed. Operational readiness efforts are ongoing in Safety, Asset Management, Processing, and Supply Chain areas. Middle management for key positions in open pit mining and mobile maintenance have been recruited and onboarded with supervisory capacity bolstered in Q3 2025.

Total revenue increased to $434.7 million in Q3 2025 from $331.8 million in Q3 2024 and to $1,241.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $886.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increases in both three and nine-month periods were primarily due to the higher average realized gold price.
Production costs increased to $164.1 million in Q3 2025 from $141.2 million in Q3 2024 and to $474.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $392.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Increases in both periods were driven by increases in royalties, accounting for approximately 30% of the increase to production costs. The remainder relates primarily to rising labour costs in Turkiye where cost inflation continues to outpace the devaluation of local currency, as well as at Lamaque, where additional costs were incurred in labour and contractors due to the deepening of the production centre of the Triangle Mine, which results in increased haulage distance, equipment and personnel requirements.
Production costs include royalty expense, which increased to $28.8 million in Q3 2025 from $21.0 million in Q3 2024 and increased to $79.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $53.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In Turkiye, royalties are calculated on revenue less certain costs associated with ore haulage, mineral processing and related depreciation, 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 costs5 averaged $1,195 per ounce sold in Q3 2025, an increase from $953 in Q3 2024, and $1,134 in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $939 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increases in both the three and nine-month periods were primarily due to higher royalty expense and higher unit costs. The increase in Q3 2025 was also the result of lower ounces sold.
AISC per ounce sold5 averaged $1,679 in Q3 2025, an increase from $1,335 in Q3 2024, and $1,583 in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $1,310 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, with the increases in both the three and nine-month periods due to higher total cash costs combined with higher sustaining capital expenditures.
Eldorado reported net earnings attributable to shareholders from continuing operations of $56.5 million ($0.28 earnings per share) in Q3 2025 compared to net earnings of $101.1 million ($0.49 earnings per share) in Q3 2024 and net earnings of $267.5 million ($1.31 earnings per share) in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to net earnings of $192.7 million ($0.95 earnings per share) in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in net earnings in the three months ended was primarily due to a one-time $60.0 million gain on deferred consideration recognized in Q3 2024, despite higher earnings from operations. The increase in net earnings in the nine months ended is due to higher earnings from operations from higher average realized gold prices, partially offset by higher production costs. Earnings from both periods in 2025 were lowered by losses on derivative instruments.
Adjusted net earnings5 was $82.3 million ($0.41 adjusted earnings per share) in Q3 2025 compared to adjusted net earnings of $71.0 million ($0.35 adjusted earnings per share) in Q3 2024. Adjustments in Q3 2025 include a $22.2 million unrealized loss on derivative instruments, primarily from gold commodity swaps related to the Term Facility and a $3.7 million loss on foreign exchange due to the translation of deferred tax balances. Adjustments of non-recurring items in Q3 2024, among other things, included a $50.1 million gain on deferred consideration net of tax, and $33.1 million unrealized loss on derivative instruments.
Adjusted net earnings5 was $228.8 million ($1.12 adjusted earnings per share) in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to adjusted net earnings of $192.9 million ($0.95 adjusted earnings per share) in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Adjustments of non-recurring items in the nine months ended 2025, among other things, include a $73.5 million recovery on one-time recognition of a deferred tax asset, a $66.8 million unrealized loss on derivative instruments, and a $22.6 million gain on foreign exchange due to the translation of deferred tax balances. Adjustments of non-recurring items in the nine months ended 2024, among other things, included a $50.1 million gain on deferred consideration net of tax, and $61.9 million unrealized loss on derivative instruments.

Kisladag
Kisladag produced 37,184 ounces of gold in Q3 2025, a 9% decrease from 41,084 ounces in Q3 2024. The decrease was primarily due to less tonnes placed on the pad and lower grades stacked during prior periods in 2025 compared to 2024, as well as the placement of ore on a test pad for the whole ore agglomeration project in the quarter. Lower tonnes were mined in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024 primarily due to lower than planned equipment availability and short-term resequencing of the mine plan. Combined with lower grades of 0.70 grams per tonne in Q3 2025 from 0.86 grams per tonne in Q3 2024, this resulted in lower recoverable ounces stacked in the quarter.
Revenue increased to $130.5 million in Q3 2025 from $102.2 million in Q3 2024, reflecting the higher average realized gold price which was partly offset by an 8% decrease in gold ounces sold.
Production costs increased to $50.1 million in Q3 2025 from $37.3 million in Q3 2024, primarily due to higher royalty expense from higher average realized gold prices, increased royalty rates effective in Q3 2025, rising labour costs and costs of local services which were mainly driven by inflation exceeding the devaluation of local currency. Higher production costs combined with lower ounces sold resulted in total cash costs per ounce increasing to $1,309 in Q3 2025 from $899 in Q3 2024.
AISC per ounce sold increased to $1,545 in Q3 2025 from $1,028 in Q3 2024, primarily due to lower volumes sold, increases in total cash costs and higher sustaining capital expenditures.
Sustaining capital expenditures were $7.3 million in Q3 2025 and $16.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which primarily included equipment rebuilds and heap leach pad interlifts. Growth capital investment of $27.1 million and $70.1 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily for waste stripping and associated equipment costs to support mine life and continued construction of the second phase of the North Heap Leach Pad.
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 full implementation of the whole ore agglomeration circuit, which is being advanced. 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 is scheduled to begin in Q4 2025, with installation of the agglomeration drums targeted for 2027.
Furthermore, 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 Q4 2026.
The geometallurgical study for characterization of future mining phases continues and will evaluate the benefit of additional screening for the HPGR. This study is expected to be complete in H1 2026.
Lamaque
Lamaque produced 46,823 ounces of gold in Q3 2025, an increase of 9% from 43,106 ounces in Q3 2024. The increase was due to higher throughput, benefiting from the early processing of the remaining portion of the second Ormaque bulk sample. This higher grade ore was treated in a blend with Triangle ore and performed well.
Revenue increased to $160.7 million in Q3 2025 from $111.6 million in Q3 2024, reflecting the 39% increase in the average realized gold price as well as higher ounces sold.
Production costs increased to $36.0 million in Q3 2025 from $32.8 million in Q3 2024, due to increased volumes sold, slightly higher costs of labour and an increase in royalties due to the higher average realized gold price. Total cash costs per ounce increased to $767 in Q3 2025 from $728 in Q3 2024 due to higher production costs.
AISC per ounce sold was $1,199 in Q3 2025 compared to $1,189 in Q3 2024, primarily due to higher cash costs, partially offset by higher volumes sold.
Sustaining capital expenditures of $19.2 million in Q3 2025 and $67.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily included underground development, delineation drilling, equipment rebuilds and expenditure on mobile equipment. Growth capital investment of $18.5 million in Q3 2025 and $47.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily related to the Ormaque development, construction of the north basin water management structure, procurement of the paste plant, as well as resource conversion drilling.
Efemcukuru
Efemcukuru produced 17,586 ounces of gold in Q3 2025, a 11% decrease from 19,794 ounces in Q3 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower ore grade, which decreased to 4.71 grams per tonne in Q3 2025 from 5.37 grams per tonne in Q3 2024.
Revenue increased to $77.8 million in Q3 2025 from $52.3 million in Q3 2024. The increase was mainly due to a 44% increase in the average realized gold price and slightly higher gold ounces sold.
Production costs increased to $32.3 million in Q3 2025 from $26.4 million in Q3 2024, primarily due to higher royalty expense as a result of higher gold price 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. The increase in production costs resulted in an increase in total cash costs per ounce sold to $1,522 in Q3 2025 from $1,325 in Q3 2024.
AISC per ounce sold increased to $1,791 in Q3 2025 from $1,578 in Q3 2024, primarily due to higher total cash costs.
Sustaining capital expenditures of $4.9 million in Q3 2025 and $14.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were primarily underground development as well as equipment rebuilds and purchases. Growth capital investment of $3.2 million in Q3 2025 and $8.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 related to underground and portal development at Kokarpinar and development costs at Bati.
Olympias
Olympias produced 13,597 ounces of gold in Q3 2025, a decrease from 21,211 ounces in Q3 2024 , driven by lower tonnes milled and lower gold grades. As a result of flotation circuit stability issues earlier in the year, the paste backfill blend was modified to eliminate viscosity modifiers in the backfilled stopes. While plant operations recovered substantially in early Q2, affected stockpiled ore continued to be processed in Q3, and ongoing efforts to minimize negative impacts in the processing circuit were challenged by continued process water chemistry issues, which negatively impacted metal recovery in the quarter. Mitigation measures remain in place; however modest negative impacts on metal recovery may continue to persist as material is processed from affected backfill stopes and affected stockpiles.
Revenue increased to $65.8 million in Q3 2025 from $65.7 million in Q3 2024, due to higher average realized gold price, offset by lower ounces sold.
Production costs increased to $45.8 million in Q3 2025 from $44.7 million in Q3 2024. While fewer ounces were produced, costs were higher this quarter than Q3 2024 primarily due to the strengthened Euro as well as higher royalties as a result of higher gold prices. These impacts were partially offset by realized gains on Euro foreign currency collar hedges. In addition to higher production costs, lower by-product credits from lower base metal sales resulted in total cash costs per ounce sold increasing to $1,869 in Q3 2025 from $1,210 in Q3 2024.
AISC per ounce sold increased to $2,421 in Q3 2025 from $1,513 in Q3 2024 primarily due to higher total cash costs, lower volumes sold and higher sustaining capital expenditures.
Sustaining capital expenditures of $6.9 million in Q3 2025 and $17.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily included underground development, and mobile mining equipment rebuilds and purchases. Growth capital investment of $9.0 million in Q3 2025 and $17.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily related to underground development and other mill expansion infrastructure.
Recognizing persistent operational challenges, initiatives have been launched in Q3 to drive sustainable improvement and long-term success. These include a comprehensive site rejuvenation program focused on modernizing and optimizing the process plant and surrounding infrastructure and a targeted leadership and skills development program aimed at strengthening capabilities across all levels of the organization.
The mill expansion to 650ktpa (from 500ktpa currently) continued to progress with progressive commissioning and ramp up expected in the second half of 2026.
