Q1 2009 Financial and Operating Results

2009 Production and Cost Guidance Remains Intact

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



VANCOUVER, BC – Paul N. Wright, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado Gold Corporation, is pleased to report on the Company's financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009.


“Our cash operating costs for the quarter averaged $296 per ounce and our total cash cost of $315 per ounce remains one of the lowest in the industry.  Our balance sheet remains strong with $108 million in cash.”  said Paul Wright, President and CEO of Eldorado Gold.  “Production this quarter, was, as expected influenced by the commissioning of the sulphide ore processing facility at Tanjianshan and the record high levels of precipitation at Kisladag.  We remain confident in our previously stated plan to produce approximately 330,000 ounces in 2009.”


Q1 2009 Highlights

·

Produced 61,426 ounces of gold at our Tanjianshan and Kişladağ mines at an average cash operating cost of $296 per ounce;

·

Sold 57,459 ounces of gold at a realized average price of $909 per ounce;

·

Reported earnings of $0.04 per share; and

·

Began commissioning of the sulphide ore processing facility at Tanjianshan  


Financial Results

Our consolidated net income for the first quarter of 2009 was $13.1 million or $0.04 per share, compared with $20.7 million or $0.06 per share in the first quarter of 2008. Over the quarter, we sold 57,459 ounces of gold at an average price of $909 per ounce, compared to 73,604 ounces at an average price of $933 per ounce in the first quarter of 2008. Revenues decreased 24% compared to the same period in 2008 due to lower sales volumes and selling prices.


Operating Performance

Kişladağ,Usak, Turkey

During the quarter, we placed 2,084,714 tonnes of ore on the leach pad at an average grade of 1.34 grams of gold per tonne. We produced 46,192 ounces of gold at a cash cost of $274 per ounce, up from production of 27,228 ounces of gold in the first quarter of 2008. We produced fewer ounces of gold at Kişladağ compared to the fourth quarter of 2008 as a result of higher than average precipitation, which affected screening and stacking and diluted process solutions. Following the exceptionally high rainfall in January and February, production in March and April increased to normal levels in excess of 20,000 ounces monthly.








Tanjianshan, Qinghai China

We produced 15,234 ounces of gold at a cash cost of $362 per ounce in the first quarter, compared to 40,006 ounces of gold in the first quarter of 2008. The decrease in gold production resulted from the commissioning of the sulphide ore processing facilities and lower head grade as lower grade transition ore from stockpiles is utilized during commissioning.  During the quarter, we invested $3.8 million in capital expenditures, primarily relating to constructing and commissioning the sulphide ore processing facilities.


Development
Efemçukuru, Izmir Turkey

We continued construction at Efemcukuru during the quarter, slowed somewhat due to the extremely wet weather.  Drilling and blasting of the plant site was initiated, along with the construction of a major structure retaining wall.  Engineering and procurement are on schedule including the semi-autogenous ball mills.  We spent $5.5 million at Efemçukuru during the quarter.  


Vila Nova Iron Ore, Amapa Brazil

We completed the construction and initial commissioning of our Vila Nova iron ore project. After we complete the plant commissioning in May 2009, we will put the project on care and maintenance status until global demand for iron ore increases and prices recover from current declines.


Perama Hill, Thrace Greece

At our Perama Hill project in Greece, we continued work on the Preliminary Environmental Impact Assessment, which we will submit to Greek authorities in the second quarter. We are also working on a National Instrument 43-101 report, which we will file in the third quarter of the year.


Exploration
Turkey
We continued exploration at the Sayacik project, which included soil sampling, outcrop mapping and the initiation of a ground magnetic geophysical survey. We also received permits for drill sites and began drilling in April. At Efemçukuru, we drilled six holes totaling 1,210 meters in the north ore shoot to test along strike and down dip extents in the ore zone.


Brazil
Exploration in Brazil consisted of diamond drilling at the Tocantinzinho project. We drilled more than 4,200 meters in 16 diamond drill holes, including 1,500 meters for metallurgical samples.


China
At Tanjianshan, we started a rotary air blast program, consisting of 41 holes, to test the area covered by alluvium between the QLT and JLG deposits.


Corporate

Effective May 15, 2009 Dr. Peter Lewis, P.Geo. has been appointed as Vice-President, Exploration.  Dr. Lewis obtained his undergraduate degree in Geological Sciences from Stanford University and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia, and has worked as a consulting structural geologist on ore deposits throughout the world since 1993.





 









Eldorado is a gold producing, exploration and development company actively growing businesses in Brazil China, Greece, and Turkey and surrounding regions.  We are one of the lowest cost pure gold producers. 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.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2009


(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)



1.

Nature of operations


Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado” or “the Company”) is a gold exploration, development, mining and production company. The Company has ongoing exploration and development projects in Brazil, China, Turkey and Greece. On July 1, 2006, the Company began production in Turkey, and on February 1, 2007, the Company began production in China. Production at the Kişladağ mine in Turkey was suspended in August 2007 as a result of a court injunction and the mine remained shut down throughout the rest of that year. The court injunction was removed in February 2008 and the mine restarted production on March 6, 2008. Production operations in Brazil ceased in the second quarter of 2007 and the São Bento mine (“São Bento”) was sold to AngloGold Ashanti on December 15, 2008.

With the exception of changes in accounting policies as outlined in note 2 below, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were prepared by Eldorado in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) consistent with those used to prepare Eldorado’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. As these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all of the disclosures required by Canadian GAAP, they should be read in conjunction with the notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008.

In the opinion of management, Eldorado has made all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as at March 31, 2009 and the consolidated results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income for the three-month periods then ended.

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.


2.

Changes in accounting policies and new accounting developments


Goodwill and intangible assets (Section 3064)

In February 2008, the Canadian institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) issued Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, which replaces Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new standard provides guidance on recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing goodwill and intangible assets and is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009 and applies retrospectively.


Concurrent with the adoption of this standard, CICA Emerging Issues Committee Abstract 27 (“EIC-27”), “Revenues and Expenditures in the Pre-operating Period”, was withdrawn. This resulted in a change to the Company’s accounting for the start-up of mining operations, as pre-commercial production costs are no longer capitalized as an asset.


The adoption of this new accounting policy did not have a material impact on Eldorado’s consolidated financial statements.

2.    Changes in accounting policies and new accounting developments (continued)


Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (EIC Abstract 173)


In January 2009, the CICA issued EIC Abstract 173, “Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The EIC requires the Company to take into account the Company’s own credit risk and the credit risk of the counterparty in determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivative instruments. This abstract applies to interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of this new accounting policy did not have any material impact on Eldorado’s consolidated financial statements.


Mining Exploration Costs (EIC Abstract 174)


In March 2009, the CICA issued EIC Abstract 174, “Mining Exploration Costs”. The EIC provides guidance on the accounting and the impairment review of exploration costs. This abstract applies to interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of this new accounting policy did not have any material impact on Eldorado’s consolidated financial statements.
