Q3 2006 Financial and Operational Results

(all figures in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted)


VANCOUVER, BC – Paul N. Wright, President & Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado” the “Company” or “we”) is pleased to report on the Company’s financial and operational results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006.  


“We are extremely pleased with our first quarter of commercial production at Kisladag.  Production continues to increase monthly as the solution inventory increases and our costs have quickly assumed a level at or better than plan. Despite a short term delay associated with a minor fire at our Tanjianshan project commissioning is back underway with our first production anticipated by month end.  These are significant milestones for our Company and attest to the high quality of Eldorado staff in successfully building and commissioning two mines this year,” said Paul Wright, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “We look forward to continued growth as we acquire, explore and develop mineral properties.”


Q3 2006 Highlights


·

Earnings of $0.02 per share

·

Produced 41,082 ounces of gold from two mines during the quarter

·

Commenced commercial production at our Kisladag gold mine in Turkey and produced 27,477 ounces at a cash operating cost of $218 per ounce

·

Began commissioning our Tanjianshan gold mine in China, which is scheduled to start production in November

·

Commenced drilling program at Efemçukuru to support the feasibility study


Financial Results


At September 30, 2006, we held $81.1 million in cash and short-term deposits and a further $65.0 million in two reserve accounts, offsetting our debt of $61.3 million.  We remain hedge free.  


Our consolidated net income for Q3 2006 was $5.2 million or $0.02 per share compared with a net loss of $6.5 million or ($0.02) per share in Q3 2005.  This increase in net income resulted from increased revenues from gold sales, increased interest revenues and a foreign exchange gain resulting primarily from Canadian dollars on hand, offset by increased exploration and administrative expenses.  


In Q3 2006, we sold 46,238 ounces of gold at an average price of $620 per ounce, compared to 17,906 ounces at an average price of $615 per ounce in Q2 2006.  The increased gold production results from the start of commercial production at our Kisladag mine in July.





Operating Performance


Kisladag


During the quarter, we produced 27,477 ounces of gold at a cash operating cost of $218 per ounce.  For 2006, we estimate total production from Kisladag of approximately 70,000 ounces.

Mine production continues in accordance with plan with 2.0 million tonnes of ore mined and placed on the leach pad in the quarter.  Reconciliation of the mine ore and reserve model continues to be excellent.


During the quarter crushed ore placement continues to increase in accordance with plan with 1.6 million tonnes of crushed ore transported to the leach pad.


Sao Bento


In Q3 2006, our Sao Bento mine produced 13,605 ounces of gold at a cash operating cost of $493 per ounce.  We expect to complete commercial production at Sao Bento near the end of 2006 or early 2007, and we are currently considering alternatives for the sale of infrastructure.


Development


China


During Q3 the majority of the construction was completed at Tanjianshan and commissioning commenced in October.  The tailings dam and lines are complete, power is hooked up to the national grid, and installation of the crushing and grinding circuit is complete.


The commissioning team has completed the assessment of the fire.  The damaged cyclones have been temporarily replaced with Chinese-made units, pending delivery of the final Warman cyclones.  Commissioning has restarted, and we expect to complete commissioning and testing at Tanjianshan in November, with commercial production during the first quarter of 2007.


Turkey


At Efemçukuru, we initiated a drilling program designed to convert inferred resources into measured and indicated resources. Based on results received to date, we have elected to accelerate the Efemçukuru drilling program of 13,000 meters with the objective of both increasing reserves and planned production rates.  Accordingly, we expect to release the results of our feasibility study in April 2007.


Exploration


Our exploration budget for 2006 is $14 million.  We continue to advance our pipeline of promising properties in Turkey, Brazil and China.  To September 30, 2006, we have spent approximately $9 million in exploration.




Turkey


Third quarter activity on our Turkish properties consisted of mapping and sampling activities.  We wound down our activities at Mahmur Tepe following completion of the diamond drill program.  We continued reconnaissance work on our other concessions.


Brazil


During the third quarter we conducted trenching and channel sampling over the Gaivotas West and Guaxeba pit areas, and diamond drilling, completing 18 holes in the quarter.  We commissioned and executed a structural geology review designed to better understand the geology and mineralization at the Vila Nova project.  We continued drill testing using three contract diamond drill rigs.


China


We completed the bulk of the planned exploration work at our Tanjianshan licenses this quarter.  The diamond drilling focused on infill and near deposit areas at Jinlonggou and Qinlongtan, and we drilled 58 holes.  Drilling results will be incorporated in our updated reserve statement early in 2007.  Mapping and surface sampling took place in the Longbaigou–Huanglvgou target region, an area that lies between the Jinlonggou and Qinlongtan deposits.  We conducted induced polarization ("IP") geophysical surveys in this area, and drilled six holes.


Eldorado is a gold producing and exploration company actively growing businesses in Turkey, China, and Brazil.  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.

ELDORADO GOLD CORPORATION

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2006

(Unaudited – Expressed in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise stated)




1.

Nature of operations


Eldorado Gold Corporation ("Eldorado", or the "Company") is engaged in gold mining and related activities, including exploration and development, extraction, processing, and reclamation. Gold, the primary product, is produced in Turkey and Brazil.  Development and construction of mines and processing facilities are underway in China.  Exploration activities are carried on in Brazil, Turkey and China.


The Company has not determined whether all of its development properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable.  The recoverability of the amount shown for mineral properties and deferred development is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing, licenses and permits to complete the exploration and development of its properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the properties.  The amounts shown as mineral properties and deferred development represent net costs to date, less amounts amortized and/or written off and do not necessarily represent present or future values.


Effective July 1, 2006, the Company commenced commercial production at its Kisladag gold mine in Turkey.



2.

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation


These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles following the same accounting policies and methods of application as the audited annual financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended December 31, 2005, except as stated in note 3.  The disclosures in these interim financial statements do not conform in all respects to the requirements of generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements.  These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent audited annual financial statements of the Company.


All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.


Certain of the prior periods' balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

3.

Significant accounting policies


As a result of the commissioning of the Kisladag mine, the Company adopted an accounting policy for open pit operations, analogous to its accounting policy for underground operations:


Mineral properties and capitalized development costs, where the mine operating plan calls for production from well defined ore reserves, are amortized over the life of the mine on a units of production basis.  Buildings, machinery, mobile and other equipment are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, not exceeding the life of the mine.


The adoption of this policy has no effect on any prior periods presented.
