<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Eldorado Gold Corporation (the
&#147;Company&#148; or the &#147;Registrant&#148;) is a Canadian issuer eligible to file
its annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
&#147;1934 Act&#148;) on Form&nbsp;40-F. The Company is a &#147;foreign private
issuer&#148; as defined in Rule&nbsp;3b-4 under the 1934 Act and in Rule&nbsp;405 under
the Securities Act of 1933. Equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from
Sections&nbsp;14(a), 14(b), 14(c), 14(f) and 16 of the 1934 Act pursuant to
Rule&nbsp;3a12-3. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company prepares its consolidated
financial statements in accordance with Canadian GAAP and reconciled to U.S. GAAP. Unless
otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this report are in United States dollars. The
exchange rate of Canadian dollars into United States dollars, on December&nbsp;31, 2002,
based upon the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers payable in Canadian
dollars as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Within the 90-day period prior to the
filing of this report (&#147;Date of Evaluation&#148;), an evaluation was carried out
under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company&#146;s management,
including the Chief Executive Officer (&#147;CEO&#148;) and Chief Financial Officer
(&#147;CFO&#148;), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a &#151; 15(c) and Rule 15d &#150; 15(c) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended). &nbsp;Based on that evaluation the CEO and the CFO have concluded
that the Company&#146;s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and forms. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>There have been no significant
changes in our internal controls or other factors, which could significantly affect
internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation. Therefore, no corrective
actions were taken. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company&#146;s management,
including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or
internal controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system,
no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a
control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits
of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have
been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in
decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or
mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some
persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The
design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a
cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected. </FONT></P>

factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or
industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual
events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Should
one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward
looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this release include statements
regarding the expectations and beliefs of management, the assumed long-term price of gold,
the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineral reserve
estimates, the potential of the Company&#146;s properties and expectations of growth. We
do not expect to update forward-looking statements continually as conditions change and

Reserves and Resources calculations for S&atilde;o Bento and Kisladag was maintained at
$325 per ounce which reflects the market trend in 2002 and going into 2003. Cut off grade
for the deposits are based on the assumptions for plant recovery, gold value, mining
dilution and recovery, along with operating and capital costs projections that are based
on the historical production figures. Estimated reserves and resources may have to be
recalculated based on actual production or exploration results. Market price fluctuation
of gold, as well as increased production costs or alteration in recovery rate may render
the proven and probable reserves unprofitable to develop at a particular property or for a

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company has estimated proven and
probable mineral reserves for the S&atilde;o Bento Mine and for its Kisladag and
Efem&ccedil;ukuru development projects. Except as noted, all reserves are calculated in
accordance with National Instrument 43-101. The estimate of the Company&#146;s proven and
probable reserves for S&atilde;o Bento and Kisladag (as set forth in the table below) was
calculated as at December&nbsp;31, 2002 and was based on a gold price of $325 per ounce
and a cut-off grade as set out below. Data collected in preparation for the estimates for
S&atilde;o Bento set out below was obtained from a drilling program of 9,600 meters from
the 23<SUP>rd</SUP> platform to increase the mine&#146;s reserves. Reserves for Kisladag
increased predominantly through the completion of the Feasibility Study. The
Company&#146;s estimate of its proven and probable reserves for Efem&ccedil;ukuru was
calculated as at December 31, 2000 and are based on a gold price of $325 per ounce and a
cut-off grade as set out below. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The area around the S&atilde;o Bento
mine has been worked for gold intermittently since the 1860s. The mine was operated by
various companies until 1947. Gencor acquired the S&atilde;o Bento mine in the 1970s and,
in July 1984, decided to develop the S&atilde;o Bento mine in two phases. The first phase,
with a process capacity of 20,000 tonnes per month using an internal winze system to
access the ore body, was completed in late 1986. The winze system was later replaced by
inclines capable of handling 35,000 tonnes per month of ore and waste. The second phase
began in 1988 and consisted of sinking a vertical shaft and doubling the capacity of the
grinding and oxidation circuits in the processing plant. Gencor installed a one-tank
BIOX&reg; pilot plant in 1991 and a second BIOX&reg; tank in February 1995. In July 1996
the Company acquired, from Gencor, the S&atilde;o Bento mine. In 1998 an optimization and
expansion program was completed, operations became more mechanized, converting to
trackless long-hole sub-level mining. </FONT></P>

variations, the Basal Iron Formation is subdivided along strike into three portions:
Orebody No. 1; Orebody No. 2; and the S&atilde;o Bento/Pinta Bem or Orebody No. 3. The
Basal Iron Formation has its greatest thickness in the Orebody No. 1 area where it is
approximately 35 meters thick and at least six periods of gold/sulphide mineralization are
evident. The ore zone is distinctly banded and consists of alternating layers of sulphide
and iron carbonates. Gold occurs in close association with sulphides and may be free, on
crystal boundaries, or enclosed in sulphide grains. Grain sizes of the host rock minerals
and sulphides range from 0.5 to 5.0 millimeters and gold grains range from 1 to 250
microns with an average of 70 microns. The ratio of sulphur to gold is consistent in the
range of 0.62 to 0.64 and ore zones exhibit very uniform average gold content. Below the
mine&#146;s 26 level horizon a meta basaltic dike dipping at approximately 42 degrees
bisects the BIF from foot wall to hanging wall. A zone of fragmentation is encountered
local to the intrusive with localized flatening of the BIF dip angle. Below this horizon
drilling has identified continuation of the BIF structure and mineralization subdivided
into lower and upper ore zones which have been traced down to the 30 level boundary

to the surface and to deliver workers and materials to level 17 and below. In its current

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The processing plant at S&atilde;o
Bento is a conventional grinding and milling operation using an autogenous mill. Once the
ore is milled, it goes to a flotation unit where the concentrate of sulphides containing
gold is separated from the tailings. This concentrate is then forwarded to an oxidation
process through three bioxidation reactors using the BIOX&reg; process and/or through two
autoclaves. Gold is recovered in a six-stage CIL circuit to produce dor&eacute;. The
processing plant has a current design capacity of 42,000 tonnes per month and gold
recovery is approximately 92%. Tailings are classified to produce a sand product used for
underground backfill and the final tailing is sent to the tailings impound area. In 2002
the S&atilde;o Bento mine produced 103,533 ounces of gold at a cash operating cost of
approximately $184 per ounce. Production in 2003 is anticipated to be approximately
95,000 ounces of gold at a cash cost of approximately $230 per ounce. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Kisladag project is located in
one of several mid to late Tertiary volcanic complexes in western Turkey, related to
subduction along the Hellenic Trench southwest of Turkey. In the Kisladag region the
volcanoes erupted onto a basement of schist at the northeast margin of the Menderes
Massif. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Gold mineralization at the Kisladag
project is hosted by a number of latitic intrusive bodies. Exploration conducted by the
Company has outlined two alteration zones on the Kisladag project. The G&ouml;kg&ouml;z
Tepe alteration zone covers approximately 12 square kilometers. At G&ouml;kg&ouml;z, a
coarsely porphyritic latite is host to the bulk of the gold mineralization and has
undergone extensive and intensive hydrothermal alteration. An early potassic phase of
alteration has been recognized which is overprinted by later quartz-tourmaline and
advanced argillic alteration. Gold mineralization forms an annular zone around a later
weakly mineralized stock of similar composition. Gold is associated with multiple phases
of tourmaline-pyrite, pyrite and quartz-pyrite veining and brecciation and is accompanied
by small amounts of base metals, principally zinc and molybdenum. Oxidation in the deposit
is shallow over the barren intrusive but extends to depths of 40 to 50 meters to the west
and east. Limonite is the most abundant oxide mineral, usually occurring along fractures
in thin colloform layers and in disseminated patches around weathered pyrite. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Sayacik alteration zone is
located six kilometers southwest of G&ouml;kg&ouml;z Tepe and covers approximately six
square kilometers. Moderate to strong silicification occurs for approximately 1.5
kilometers in andesitic tuffs. Quartz barite veinlets cutting the tuff contain up to 100
parts per million silver in grab samples. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Since 1996, Eldorado&#146;s
exploration activities at Kisladag have focused primarily on the zone known locally as
G&ouml;kg&ouml;z Tepe using stream sediment sampling, geochemical soil sampling and an
Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey. On the basis of this work, a gold anomaly
was identified along the north slope of G&ouml;kg&ouml;z Tepe extending approximately
1,200 metres on strike by 600 metres wide. This work was followed in 1997 by 2,745 metres
of trench sampling, and 1,541 metres of percussion drilling. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In 1998, a six hole HQ diamond
drilling program (1,059 m) probing the main anomaly target followed the gold
mineralization to depths of greater than 250 metres and effectively confirmed the
potential for a low grade bulk tonnage gold deposit, and in 1999 an additional 5,212
metres of HQ core drilling and 1,600&nbsp;metres of trenching extended the strike length
and depth of the deposit. Based on the trenching, percussion drilling and core drilling
data available to that date, Micon International and Eldorado identified a Measured and
Indicated resource of 42.8 million tonnes of 1.49&nbsp;g/t, plus an Inferred resource of
31.1 million tonnes at 1.35 g/t (all based on a 0.8 g/t cut-off grade). </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In 2000, a reverse circulation (RC)
drill program totalling 7,605 metres (and 577 m of DDH) led to a revised resource estimate
and a significant increase in the deposit&#146;s contained metal content. That year, Micon
International reported a Measured and Indicated Resource of 125.97 million tonnes for the
deposit at an average grade of 1.20 g/t gold, that is 4.85 million ounces of contained
gold in oxides and primary ore (using a cut-off grade of 0.4g/t Au). </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In 2002, a combined total of
10,700 m drilling (RC and DDH) was completed. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Metallurgical testwork initiated
during 1999 and 2000 by Eldorado indicated that the ore would be amenable to heap
leaching, and in 1999 Eldorado was granted a Site Selection Permit by the Turkish
authorities for a gold mining operation at the Kisladag Project site. Early receipt of
this permit was made possible by the high level of support the Project has received from
within the Usak province as well as at the central government level. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Based on the concept of recovering
gold by heap leaching, in 2001 Eldorado commissioned a Prefeasibility Study by Kilborn
Engineering Pacific Limited (Kilborn). This study considered an operation to treat 3.4
million tonnes per annum of material based on an owner operated mining fleet and a three
stage crushing circuit generating a final crush size of 100% minus 8 mm. The objective of
this approach was to minimize capital expenditure in the early years and allow for
expansion to develop the total resource at a later date. Initial capital cost was
estimated to be US$47.4 million with a cash operating cost estimated at US$154 per ounce
and an average annual gold production of 103,600 troy ounces. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Subsequent to issuing the
Prefeasibility Study, Kilborn was asked to review the Project conditions in light of
devaluation of the Turkish currency and to incorporate the option of contracting the
mining operation and utilising used crushing equipment. An Addendum to the Prefeasibility
Study was issued in December 2001 presenting a revised initial capital cost estimate of
US$29.6 million and a cash operating cost estimate of US$149 per ounce. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Since 1997, the Project has advanced
through various stages of exploration to final feasibility stage. Preparation of this
Feasibility Study follows an extensive drilling program in 2002, which culminated in a
further increase in the mineral resource at Kisladag as reported in November 2002. Current
activity is focused on obtaining the necessary permits and approvals to advance the
project to a construction decision in 2003. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In April 2003 a Feasibility Study was
prepared in accordance with the Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects as defined by
National Instrument 43-101. The Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource estimated at a cut
off grade of 0.4 g/t Au is 166.4 million tonnes at a grade of 1.13 g/t Au containing 6.05
million ounces of gold. In order to meet regulatory requirements, a mine production
schedule has been developed to include only Measured and Indicated Resources. Inferred
mineral resources within the design pit have not been considered reserve and have been
assigned as waste material. The total Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves are estimated
to be 115 million tonnes at a grade of 1.23 g/t Au. Of the total reserve, approximately
24% is oxide ore and 76% is primary ore. This quantity of ore will sustain the feed to a
heap leach facility for a period of 14 years and gold will continue to be recovered in
Year 15. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Production is scheduled to start at
the end of 2004 following an 18-month design and construction period. The initial capital
cost for construction of the Project is estimated to be US$54.4 million. In Year 5 of the
operation, a further US$39.4 million will be required for mining equipment and expansion
to the crushing plant. The cash operating cost in the first four years of production is
estimated to be US$3.97 per tonne which is equivalent to US$138 per ounce. Life of mine
cash operating cost is estimated to be US$152 /oz based on US$3.82 per tonne of ore
processed. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>A mine production rate of 5 million
tonnes per year of ore has been set for the first four years of the mine&#146;s life.
Average daily production rates will be 16,100 tonnes per day (tpd) in ore and 13,000 tpd
in waste during these initial four years. Annual ore production will increase to 7.5
million tonnes in Year 5, and to 10 mtpa the following year, remaining at that level until
the end of mine life. The highest daily production rate occurs in Year 7 with a total
movement of 79,000 tpd (ore plus waste). Total quantities of ore and waste will be 115
million tonnes and 106 million tonnes respectively over the mine life. The overall strip
ratio will be 0.92. A mining contractor will initially be employed for waste movement and
ore mining. In Year 4 of operations, Eldorado will begin to phase in its own mining fleet
and mine workforce for completion of the Project. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Extensive metallurgical bench scale
studies and column leach tests have identified that Kisladag ore is amenable to heap
leaching technology. A gold recovery of 81% is projected for the oxide ore. The primary
ore has a higher sulphide content and gold recovery is projected to be 60%. The ore will
require a crush size of 80% passing 6.3 mm and a leach period of ninety days. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Kisladag ore will be processed in
a standard heap leach facility containing a three stage crushing circuit, an overland
conveyor to the heap leach pad, mobile conveyors and a stacker for placing the ore and a
carbon adsorption facility (ADR plant) for recovering the gold. The carbon will be treated
on site in a refinery and the final product will be gold dor&eacute; bar. The average gold
production in the first four years of operation is expected to be
143,000 ounces per annum increasing to 230,000 ounces per annum after Year 5. </FONT></P>

facilities will be completed in two major phases. The first phase will comprise the bulk
of the infrastructure, equipment and earthworks required to process predominantly oxide
ore during the first four years of operation. The second phase, in year five of operations
will entail an expansion to the crushing circuit and purchase of larger mining equipment
required to increase production throughput to final design capacity of 10 million tonnes
per annum. There will also be minor subsequent construction phases associated with
expansion of the heap leach pad and closure of the Project. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The duration of the engineering,

to commence in late 2003. The critical path activity will be procurement of long delivery
process equipment. Pre-production mining activities are scheduled to commence in the
fourth quarter 2003 and the crushing plant will be commissioned in the third quarter 2004.
Crushed pre-production ore will be delivered to the heap leach pad for three months until

completed by the Company in 1997 along the north, middle and south ore shoots. A total of
4,092 meters of diamond drilling was carried out to further delineate the initial
identified resource of 660,000 ounces. This resulted in an increase in the resource to 1.1
million ounces contained in 2.52 million tonnes at an average grade of 13.71 grams per
tonne. The drill hole pattern has been reduced to approximately 50 by 35 meters.
Additional diamond drilling was carried out for hydrogeological testing in the vein
structure as well as the hanging wall and foot wall rocks. Assay data from this program

study have been made to reflect the alternative of processing flotation concentrates at
the Kisladag operation in a stand-alone processing circuit. This alternative has resulted
in a reduction in the anticipated cash cost of production from $176 per ounce to $148 per

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Gold mineralization at the Kaymaz
project occurs within a sequence of deformed and altered marine sediments and associated
ophiolites which were strongly metamorphosed during the Cretaceous and early Tertiary
periods. Ultramafic sections were strongly serpentinized and deformed into a series of
folds with north-northwest trending axis. This sequence is intruded by northeasterly
dipping, sill-like bodies of the Karakaya granite. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Mineralization is believed to be
epithermal in character and associated with brecciation and silicification. At Damdamca
Tepe, higher grading mineralization occurs as a tabular body measuring about 180 meters in
length, five to 45 meters in thickness and extending below 85 meters from surface. The
zone is approximately parallel to a granite contact, and enclosed within a halo of lower
grade mineralization. At Topkaya, economically significant mineralization occurs in small
pod-like bodies within a zone 600 meters in length and 20 to 30 meters in horizontal
width. The north-striking Kizilagil Zone, located about 1,200 meters south of Damdamca
Tepe, is hosted in silicified calcschists and marbles of the basement Sivrihisar Formation
and dips steeply in an easterly direction with a strike length of 275 meters and an
average width of 14 meters. Located 3,500 meters south of Damdamca, the K&uuml;c&uuml;k
Mermerlik Tepe Zone occurs in flat-lying to gently dipping silicified serpentinites in an
area unique for its lack of granite bodies. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>A full feasibility study for the
Kaymaz project was completed by the Company in 1997. The study proposed an open pit
operation with a cyanide gold recovery plant located on site. The reserves were determined
to be approximately 973,000 tonnes at an average grade of 6.04 g Au/t. Ore production was
estimated at 150,000 tonnes per year, producing 25,000 ounces of gold per year at a cash
cost of approximately $180 per ounce. Total capital costs were estimated at approximately
$14 million. As the estimates of reserves were made before NI&nbsp;43-101 came into force,
they may vary materially from estimates made in accordance with NI&nbsp;43-101. The
estimates use the same classifications as set out in NI&nbsp;43-101 (although not

discontinuous lenses and pods over a strike of nearly four kilometers. Individual veins
range in thickness from less than one meter to 30 meters, and vary in length from a few

interest rates, gold sales by central banks, forward sales by producers, global or
regional political or economical events, and production and cost levels in major
gold-producing regions such as South Africa. In addition, the gold price is sometimes
subject to rapid short-term changes because of speculative activities. The supply of gold
consists of a combination of new production from mining and existing stocks of bullion and
fabricated gold held by governments, public and private financial institutions, industrial
organizations and private individuals. As the amounts produced in any single year
constitute a small portion of the total potential supply of gold, typical variations in
current production do not necessarily have a significant impact on the supply of gold or
its price. </FONT></P>

physical characteristics of ores (such as hardness and presence or absence of certain
metallurgical characteristics) and estimated rates and costs of production. Actual
production may vary from estimates for a variety of reasons, including risks and hazards
of the types discussed previously, actual ore mined varying from estimates in grade and
metallurgical and other characteristics, mining dilution, pit wall failures or cave-ins,
strikes and other actions by labour at unionized locations, restrictions imposed by
government agencies and other factors. Estimates of production from properties not yet in
production or from operations that are to be expanded are based on similar factors
(including, in some instances, feasibility studies prepared by Company personnel and/or
outside consultants) but it is possible that actual cash operating costs and economic
returns will differ significantly from those currently estimated. It is not unusual in new

speculative in nature, involves many risks and frequently is not productive. There can be

in increasing reserves is a result of a number of factors, including the quality of the
Company&#146;s management, its level of geological and technical expertise, the quality of
land available for exploration and other factors. Once gold mineralization is discovered,
it may take several years in the initial phases of drilling until production is possible,
during which time the economic feasibility of production may change. Substantial
expenditures are required to establish proven and probable reserves through drilling, to
determine the optimal metallurgical process to extract the metals from the ore and, in the
case of new properties, to construct mining and processing facilities. As a result of
these uncertainties, no assurance can be given that the Company&#146;s exploration
programs will result in the expansion or replacement of current reserves with new
reserves. </FONT></P>

&#147;Legally,&#148;as
used in the definition of reserve, does not imply that all permits needed for mining and
processing have been obtained or that other legal issues have been completely resolved.
However, for a reserve to exist, there should be a reasonable certainty based on
applicable laws and regulations that issuance of permits or resolution of legal issues
can be accomplished in a timely manner.  </FONT></TD>

Proven
Mineral Reserve means, in accordance with CIM Standards, for the part of a deposit which
is being mined, or which is being developed and for which there is a detailed mining
plan, the estimated quantity and grade or quality of that part of a measured mineral
resource for which the size, configuration and grade or quality and distribution of
values are so well established, and for which economic viability has been demonstrated by
adequate information on engineering, operating, economic and other relevant factors, so

which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings
or drill holes; (b) grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed
sampling and (c) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely
and the geographic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral
content of reserves are well established.  </FONT></TD>

from the standards in the United States, where probable reserves are defined as reserves
for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that

sampling, and measurement are further apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced, and
the degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven mineral reserves, is high

resource,&#148; &#147;indicated mineral resource,&#148; and &#147;inferred mineral
resource&#148; are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined
terms under standards in the United States. As such, information contained in this report
concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards may not
be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the
reporting and disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission. &#147;Indicated
mineral resource&#148; and &#147;inferred mineral resource&#148; have a great amount of
uncertainty as to their existence and a great uncertainty as to their economic and legal
feasibility. It can not be assumed that all or any part of an &#147;indicated mineral

category. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits
in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.  </FONT></TD>

by private contract, to purchase $2,000 of the convertible debentures for a purchase price
of 1,597,867 common shares of the Company. These common shares were issued on
July&nbsp;17, 2002. As a consequence of this transaction, the debt and equity components
were reduced by $1,863 and $306, respectively, and a gain on settlement of $463 was
recognized in earnings, offset by $32 in deferred costs charged to share capital as a
share issue cost. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The instrument has been accounted for
as a debt instrument, at its present value, with an amount recorded in equity to reflect
the estimated fair value of the conversion feature. The debt will be accreted to its face
value over the term of the debentures. The face value of the convertible debentures is
$7,150 at December 31, 2002 (December 31, 2001 &#151; $9,150). </FONT></P>

<!-- 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>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Net income (loss) per share was
calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year
which amounted to 147,597,481 (2001 &#150; 99,736,407, 2000 &#150; 79,874,211). Diluted
net income per share reflects the dilutive effect of the exercise of stock options and
warrants outstanding as at year end. The effect of common stock options and warrants on
the net loss per share in 2001 was not reflected as to do so would be anti dilutive. The
number of shares for the diluted net income per share calculation for 2002 and 2000 were
149,395,784 and 80,456,643 respectively. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<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" -->

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

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Eldorado is a North American based
gold producer. We own and operate a gold mine in Brazil, develop gold mineralized
properties into mines and acquire precious mineral properties for exploration. Our goal is
to operate safely, with regard to social and ethical responsibilities. We are focused on
delivering value to our shareholders, and our share price increased 666% in 2002,
beginning the year at Cdn$0.27 and ending the year at Cdn$2.07. The Company&#146;s common
shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (&#147;TSX&#148;) and on January 23, 2003 began
trading on the American Stock Exchange (&#147;AMEX&#148;). </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
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
of Belo Horizonte in Minas Gerais State, is the fourth largest gold mine in Brazil. The
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 expect to remain unhedged during 2003. 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>

for 2002, largely the result of completing the repair of the #2 autoclave under budget,
thereby releasing $5,405 of contingency to other income. This compares with a loss of
$4,396 in 2001 and a profit of $273 in 2000. Earnings per share for 2002 were $0.01 ($0.01
diluted), compared to a loss of $0.04 per share and earnings of $0.00 per share, on both a
basic and diluted basis, for 2001 and 2000. </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>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<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
provide access beyond the 30<SUP>th</SUP> level. The estimated cost for the shaft
deepening is $11,000, which will be spent over 2003 and 2004. </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>

<!-- 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>

<!-- 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>

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>
