Eldorado Gold Enters into Project Alliance with G Mining Services

Strengthens Project Execution Through a Preferred Engineering and Construction

Partnership

VANCOUVER, BC – Eldorado Gold Corporation (TSX: ELD, NYSE American: EGO ) (“Eldorado” or the

“Company”) today announced that it has entered into a project alliance in the form of a Memorandum of

Understanding (“MoU”) with G Mining Services Inc. (“G Mining”), establishing a strategic engineering and construction

alliance to support project delivery across Eldorado’s portfolio.

Under the M oU, G Mining will provide engineering and construction services in support of Eldorado’s project

development and execution activities, including early project definition, engineering support, constructability reviews,

and planning. The agreement is intended to enhance project readiness, delivery certainty, and capital efficiency

across a range of current and future projects, including:

• Perama Hill;

• the Lamaque Complex, including the Sigma Mill expansion;

• Skouries, including construction support to complete mill start -up and ramp up , as well as underground

project infrastructure;

• Olympias, including the mill filtration modernization project and supporting facility upgrades; and

• McIlvenna Bay, including studies and potential implementation of projects to increase throughput, improve

value, and optimize materials handling (subject to completion of the proposed acquisition of Foran Mining).

“The MoU aligns with Eldorado’s strategy to maximize value from our sector-leading growth projects by leveraging G

Mining’s integrated owners team approach and proven engineering and execution capabilities,” said Simon Hille,

Chief Operating Officer of Eldorado Gold . “G Mining has demonstrated its ability to deliver high -quality projects on

time and on budget, most notably through the successful delivery of the Tocantinzinho project in Brazil. That

experience is directly relevant as they continue to advance and de-risk opportunities such as Mc Ilvenna Bay toward

first production. Establishing a preferred engineering and construction partner strengthens our project delivery model

through consistent teams, aligned ways of working, and a strong track record of safe reliable execution , positioning

Eldorado to maximize cash flow per share from our high-quality internal growth pipeline.”

“G Mining’s delivery model is built around engage d planning, talented and empowered teams, and our disciplined

execution model,” said Mathieu Gignac, President and CEO of G Mining Services Inc. “ The approach has delivered

strong outcomes across a range of projects, including our recent work at McIlvenna Bay. We are pleased to establish

this alliance with Eldorado Gold and look forward to supporting the successful delivery of projects across their

portfolio.”
