<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Eldorado today reported a net profit
of $2.1 million or $0.01 cents per common share. This compares with a net loss of $4.4
million or $0.04 per common share in 2001. For the year, the Company&#146;s hedge position
provided an average realized gold price of $306 per ounce sold resulting in a contribution
margin, the difference between revenues and total cash cost, of $115 per ounce sold or
$11.5 million. The Company closed its hedge book in November 2002 and remains unhedged. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Eldorado obtained a listing on the
American Stock Exchange on January 23, 2003. As a result of the listing the Company
elected to change its accounting policy for revenue recognition from the production method
to the sales method and report our 2002 financials under the sales method. The financial
statements for 2001 and 2000 have been restated to reflect this change. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Eldorado&#146;s cash costs in 2002
were $184 per ounce a decrease of $32 per ounce compared to 2001. Production of 103,533
ounces for the year ending December 31, 2002 compares to production of 102,841 per ounces
in 2001. The increase production in 2002 is the result of S&atilde;o Bento returning to
steady production in the second quarter following the total elimination of the temporary
Brazilian power restrictions and the completion of the #2 Autoclave repair. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In 2002, the Company generated
positive cash flow from operations of $9.3 million. The total cash cost in 2002 of
produced ounces was $189 per ounce, 14.5% or $32 per ounce lower than the total cash cost
in 2001. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&#147;2002 was a year of achievement
for Eldorado,&#148; commented Paul Wright, President and Chief Executive Officer.
&#147;We&#146;re profitable, we&#146;ve reduced our operating costs, improved our
production, strengthened our balance sheet and increased our share value. In 2003 we look
forward to a continued strong performance at S&atilde;o Bento where we plan to produce
105,000 ounces at cash cost of $190. Our Kisladag Project continues to proceed according
to plan with the bankable feasibility study to be completed this month.&#148; </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Eldorado is a gold producing and

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>We have audited the consolidated
balance sheets of Eldorado Gold Corporation as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the
consolidated statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>We conducted our audits in accordance
with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan
and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In our opinion, these consolidated
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Company as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of its operations and its

Payments (&#147;CICA 3870&#148;). CICA 3870 establishes standards for the recognition,

in exchange for goods and services. It applies to transactions, including non-reciprocal
transactions, in which an enterprise grants shares of common stock, stock options, or
other equity instruments, or incurs liabilities based on the price of common stock or
other equity instruments. The recommendations of CICA 3870 are applied prospectively to

that do not apply the fair value based method of accounting are required to disclose for
each period for which an income statement is provided the pro forma net income and net

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>On March 8, 1995, the Board of
Directors of Eldorado adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan, which was approved by the
shareholders at the Annual General meeting on June 5, 1995. Under the terms of the plan,
rights are attached to the common shares and to the 8.25% convertible subordinated
unsecured debentures. The rights become marketable and exercisable only upon the
occurrence of certain specified events. If a person or group acting in concert acquires or
announces its intention to acquire 20% or more of the outstanding common shares in a
non-permitted bid, each right, on exercise, entitles the holders (other than the acquiring
person or group) to purchase common shares of Eldorado at half the current market price
per common share. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The rights are not triggered by a
&#147;permitted bid&#148; which is, in effect, a bid made to all shareholders for all of
the voting shares by way of a bid circular. Such an offer must remain outstanding for at
least 75 days and must be accepted by shareholders holding at least 50% of the outstanding
shares that are not held by the bidder. At any time prior to the rights becoming
exercisable, the Board of Directors may redeem all the rights at $.00001 per right. </FONT></P>

the net loss per share in 2001 was not reflected as to do so would be anti dilutive. The

When proven and probable reserves are determined for a property and upon completion of a
feasibility study, subsequent exploration and development costs on the property are
capitalized. The capitalized costs of such properties are then assessed periodically for
potential impairment of carrying values. If the carrying value can not be recovered on
 this basis the mineral properties would be written down to fair value. During 2002, the

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>As described in note&nbsp;11 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company has granted stock options to directors and
employees. For U.S. GAAP purposes, SFAS No.&nbsp;123, &#147;Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation&#148;, requires that an enterprise recognize or, at its option, disclose the
pro forma impact of the fair value of stock options and other forms of stock-based
compensation in the determination of income. The Company has elected under SFAS&nbsp;No.
123 to continue to measure compensation cost by the intrinsic value method set out in APB
Opinion No.&nbsp;25 (APB&nbsp;25). As options are granted at exercise prices based on the
market value of the Company&#146;s shares at the date of grant, no adjustment for
compensation expense is required. Under SFAS&nbsp;No. 123, where a Company chooses to
continue to apply APB&nbsp;25 in its basic financial statements, supplemental pro forma
information as if the fair value method was applied must be disclosed. This pro forma
information is set out below. The pro&nbsp;forma stock compensation expense has been
determined by reference to a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that takes into account
the stock price as of the grant date, the exercise price, the expected life of the option,
the estimated volatility of the underlying stock, expected dividends and the risk free
interest rate over the term of the option. Compensation expense is amortized over the
vesting period of the options. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The calculations applied have assumed
that the weighted average expected life of the options is five years, no dividends will be
paid, expected volatility is 50%, and risk free interest rates which range from 4.24% to
4.71% for 2002, 4.40% to 5.56% for 2001, 5.92% to 6.50% for 2000. </FONT></P>

a result of listing on the AMEX, Eldorado elected to change its accounting policy for
revenue recognition from the production method to the sales method. The sales method
recognizes gold sales when delivery is made and title to the refined gold passes to the
purchaser while the production method recognizes gold sales when produced as dor&eacute;
at the mine site. The financial statements for 2002, 2001 and 2000 have been restated to
reflect this change. </FONT></P>

mine (&#147;S&atilde;o Bento&#148; or &#147;the mine&#148;), located 100 km from the city

mine produced over 100,000 ounces of gold in 2002 at a cash cost of $184 per ounce. We
also own two significant gold development properties in Turkey. The Kisladag property is
in the final stages of permitting and a bankable feasibility study will be complete in
2003. We have completed a pre-feasibility study for our Efem&ccedil;ukuru property, which
is pending future development upon completion of the construction of the Kisladag mine. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The decrease in this year&#146;s gold
revenue is due to lower volumes of gold sold by S&atilde;o Bento, offset by lower gold
prices realized from the prior two years due to a higher hedged gold price. S&atilde;o
Bento sold 99,659 ounces of gold in 2002 at a realized price of $306 per ounce compared to
105,349 ounces in 2001 at a realized price of $299 per ounce and 109,657 ounces in 2000 at
a realized price of $304 per ounce. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In 2002, we liquidated our gold hedge
position and remain unhedged. The Company anticipates higher gold prices in 2003 compared
to the average spot price of $310 per ounce in 2002. We are forecasting a gold price of
$350 per ounce in 2003. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Revenue includes a hedging gain for
2002 of $36 per ounce compared to $28 per ounce in 2001 and $35 per ounce in 2000. The
hedging gain results from the liquidation of a portion of the Company&#146;s hedge book in
the years 1998 through 2001. The funds obtained from these liquidations were used to
reduce bank debt and fund working capital needs during the extended period of depressed
gold prices. Canadian GAAP requires that gains or losses earned on liquidated gold hedges
prior to the original scheduled delivery dates be recorded on the balance sheet and
amortized to the Profit and Loss statements as originally scheduled. We forecast an
additional hedging gain amortization of $2,286 in 2003, with an amortization loss of $329
occurring in 2004. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>On May 25, 2001, the Brazilian
government issued a decree reducing electricity usage. Effective June 1, 2001, S&atilde;o
Bento was subject to electrical power rationing of 80% of the mine&#146;s normal usage. On
March 1, 2002, the Brazilian government lifted the restriction on the consumption of
electrical power. With these lifted power restrictions and the completion of the #2
autoclave repair, S&atilde;o Bento returned to full production during the second quarter
of 2002. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The continued weakening of the
Brazilian Real from an average of 1.83 to the dollar in 2000 to an average of 2.35 in 2001
and an average of 2.92 in 2002 benefited the Company with lower cash costs. 70% of
S&atilde;o Bento&#146;s cash cost profile is denominated in Reals, with the remaining 30%
in US dollars. A 10% weakening of the Real without corresponding inflation translates into
approximately a $13 dollar per ounce reduction in cash cost on 100,000 ounces of
production. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In October 2002, the Company signed
an agreement with AngloGold South America Limited (&#147;AngloGold&#148;) granting
S&atilde;o Bento the right to explore, develop and mine any reserves beyond its existing
property boundary (the 30<SUP>th</SUP> level). In exchange, a net smelter royalty will be
paid to AngloGold according to a graduated scale ranging from 0.5% at a gold price less
than $275 per ounce to a maximum of 4.0% at a gold price of $399 per ounce or greater.
With the signing of this agreement the Company began engineering studies to complete a
shaft-deepening project by 2004. The expenditures for this project are planned to commence
in 2003 with a total expenditure estimated at $11,000. The completion of the project will
allow S&atilde;o Bento to mine below the 30<SUP>th</SUP> level beginning in 2005. </FONT></P>

for 2002 was $9,288 compared to $13,029 in 2001 and $3,810 in 2000. The additional cash
generated in 2001 compared to 2000 was the result of liquidating $4,090 in gold hedges.
The funds generated from this liquidation were used as additional payments on the
Company&#146;s long-term debt. For 2003 we forecast $10,000 of cash from operations at
S&atilde;o Bento before sustaining capital, at a gold price of $350 per ounce. </FONT></P>

investing activities, of which $5,334 were on property, plant and equipment at S&atilde;o
Bento and $2,285 on mineral properties and deferred development in Turkey. For the past
three years, we have supported the S&atilde;o Bento mining operations with sustaining
capital. Beginning in 2003, we are planning a major capital project of deepening the
current shaft from the 23<SUP>rd</SUP> level to the 28<SUP>th</SUP> level which will

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Eldorado&#146;s cash position
including term deposits increased from $4,752 at December 31, 2001 to $37,627 at the end
of 2002. The Company&#146;s working capital was $37,248 as at December 31, 2002 compared
with a negative working capital of $4,379 as at December 31, 2001. Eldorado has $7,150 in
convertible debenture debt due on November 4, 2004. The Company has no bank debt and has
not hedged or sold forward any of its future gold production. There are no off balance
sheet financing structures in place. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Eldorado&#146;s profitability is
linked to the price of gold as its revenues are derived primarily from gold mining. Gold
prices are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including central bank sales,
producer hedging activities, the relative exchange rate of the U.S. dollar with other
major currencies, global and regional demand, political and economic conditions and
production costs. Worldwide gold production levels also affect gold prices. In addition,
the price of gold has on occasion been subject to rapid short-term changes due to
speculative activities. </FONT></P>

Development </FONT></H1>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The costs and results of
Eldorado&#146;s exploration and development programs affect its profitability and value.
As mines have limited lives based on proven reserves, Eldorado actively seeks to replace
and expand its reserves, primarily through exploration and development of its existing
operation and, in the future, construction of operating gold mines in Turkey at the
Company&#146;s wholly owned properties of Kisladag and Efem&ccedil;ukuru. Exploration for
minerals involves many risks and may not result in any new economically viable mining
operations or yield new reserves to replace and expand current reserves. Based on current
production rates, S&atilde;o Bento can sustain production from its current reserves and
resources for approximately six years. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company&#146;s S&atilde;o Bento
operation is located in Brazil and incurs medium political risks. The business of gold
mining involves many operational risks and hazards. Through high operational standards,
emphasis on training and continuous improvement, Eldorado works to reduce the mining risks
at S&atilde;o Bento. The Company maintains adequate insurance to cover normal business
risk. The S&atilde;o Bento mine currently accounts for all of Eldorado&#146;s gold
production and revenue. Any adverse development affecting S&atilde;o Bento would have an
adverse effect on the Company&#146;s financial performance and its ability to implement
its growth strategy. </FONT></P>

activities. Eldorado is also subject to various reclamation-related conditions imposed
under federal, state or provincial air, water quality and mine reclamation rules and

exploration activities are subject to extensive federal, provincial, state and local laws
and regulations governing prospecting, development, production, exports, taxes, labour
standards, occupational health and safety, mine safety and other matters. Such laws and
regulations are subject to change and can become more stringent and costly. Eldorado draws
on the expertise and commitment of its management team, their advisors, its employees and
contractors to ensure compliance with current laws and foster a climate of open
communication and co-operation with regulatory bodies. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Eldorado&#146;s operating results and
cash flows are affected by changes in the U.S./Brazilian Real exchange, the U.S./Turkish
Lira exchange rate, and the U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate as substantially all
revenues are earned in U.S. dollars but the majority of the operating and capital
expenditures are in Brazilian Reals, Turkish Lira or Canadian dollars. A 10% weakening of
the Brazilian Real without corresponding inflation vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar would
increase basic earnings per share and cash flow per share by $0.01 and $0.01 per share,
respectively. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company anticipates continuing
successful operations at S&atilde;o Bento for 2003 and beyond. In 2003, we are planning to
produce 105,000 ounces of gold at a cash cost of $190 per ounce. Consideration is being
given to deepening the existing S&atilde;o Bento shaft, providing access to reserves and
resources defined through the 2002 drilling programme. A decision regarding a deepening is
excepted in March 2003. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company has submitted the
Environmental Impact Assessment (&#147;EIA&#148;) to the Government for the Kisladag
project. The Company anticipates approval of the EIA by July 2003. A feasibility study is
forecast for completion in March 2003. With completion of the feasibility study, the
financial structure for the Kisladag project will be completed. Assuming approval of the
EIA, completion of the feasibility study and final financing arrangements, construction at
Kisladag is planned to begin by year end. </FONT></P>
