VANCOUVER, BC – Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado” the “Company” or “we”) is pleased to announce initial drill results from the AS Project (the “Project”). Eldorado holds 50% of this project as part of a joint venture agreement in western Turkey.

Work on the Project began in 2001 as a result of a reconnaissance program utilizing satellite imagery to define hydrothermal alteration (similar to the technique used to discover Kisladag). This was followed up by stream sediment sampling in 2002 and soil geochemical sampling and regional mapping in 2003 and 2004. In 2005, a road cut was constructed through the heart of the gold geochemical anomaly to allow more detailed mapping and sampling (see Figure 1).

Gold and copper mineralization is associated with disseminated and vein pyrite with bornite, chalcocite, and minor chalcopyrite hosted in potassically and argillically altered porphyritic rocks.

The work has also uncovered a zone of molybdenum mineralization. Potentially economic grades (up to 0.08% Mo) were returned from road cut sampling this year.

The presence of extensive copper soil geochemical anomalies several hundred meters away from the gold anomalies indicates that base metal mineralization may be much more extensive than was first thought. Some of these soil anomalies will be tested during the current RC drilling campaign.

The current drilling program consists of both rotary and reverse circulation drilling. Both drills are owned by Tüprag Metal Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret Limited, Eldorado’s 100% wholly owned subsidiary. Drilling began with the smaller rotary drill (depth capacity approximately 50 meters) but once the initial assays were obtained the larger RC drill (depth capacity approximately 145 meters) was mobilized. Our plan is to drill 1,800 meters of rotary and 2,800 meters of reverse circulation followed by an initial 1,200 meters of diamond drilling commencing early in Q4 2005.

The following table (Table 1) shows the results from the initial drillholes. Please refer to Figure 2 for hole locations.

* Hole AS-13 twinned and deepened the mineralization in hole AS-01.
** Widths measured are down the hole. True widths has not been determined.

Norm Pitcher, Chief Operating Officer commented, “We are obviously very encouraged at these initial results from what may be an extensive gold-copper system. We look forward to the commencement of the diamond drilling program at the Project which will give us a better handle on the extent and nature of the mineralized system. Congratulations to our exploration teams both in Turkey and Vancouver, who have once again demonstrated the value of grass roots exploration.”

Norman Pitcher, P. Geo., Chief Operating Officer is the qualified person responsible for the technical disclosure in this press release. Samples are prepared at Eldorado’s facility in Turkey and assayed at the ALS Chemex facility in Vancouver. Analysis is done on reverse circulation cuttings using fire assay (AA finish) for gold, and multi-acid digestion and ICP for copper. Prepared standard, blank and field duplicate samples are inserted prior to sample preparation to monitor the quality control of the assay data.

Eldorado Gold Corporation is a gold producing and exploration company actively growing businesses in Brazil, Turkey and China. With our international expertise in mining, finance and project development, together with highly skilled and dedicated staff, we believe that Eldorado is well positioned to grow in value as we create and pursue new opportunities.

The terms “Mineral Reserve”, “Proven Mineral Reserve” and “Probable Mineral Reserve” used in this release are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council on August 20, 2000 as may be amended from time to time by the CIM. These definitions differ from the definitions in the United States Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Guide 7. In the United States, a mineral reserve is defined as a part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time the mineral reserve determination is made

The terms “Mineral Resource”, “Measured Mineral Resource”, “Indicated Mineral Resource”, “Inferred Mineral Resource” used in this release are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instruction 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects under the guidelines set out in the CIM Standards. Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

For a detailed discussion of resource and reserve estimates and related matters see the Company’s technical reports, including the Annual Information Form and other reports filed under the Company’s name at www.sedar.com. A qualified person has verified the data contained in this release.

Note to U.S. Investors. While the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource,” “indicated mineral resource”, and “inferred mineral resource” are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under standards in the United States and normally are not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. 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 in SEC filings. With respect to “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” there is 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 “indicated mineral resource” or “inferred mineral resource” will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.
