Financial Results

Net income for the quarter was $75.8 million (or $0.11 per share), compared with $102.5 million (or $0.19 per share) in the third quarter of 2011. The decrease in net income year over year was mainly due to lower gold sales volumes and prices. The Company sold 154,841 ounces in the third quarter of 2012 (not including 10,524 ounces of precommercial sales from Efemcukuru) as compared with 179,513 ounces in the third quarter of 2011.

Operating Performance

Kisladag

Kisladag placed 3.2 million tonnes of ore on the leach pad during the quarter at a grade of 1.05 grams per tonne (Q3 2011 – 3.5 million tonnes of ore at 0.90 grams per tonne). Kisladag produced 84,016 ounces of gold at a cash operating cost of $334 per ounce in the quarter as compared to 86,788 ounces at a cash operating cost of $377 per ounce during Q3 2011. Gold production at Kisladag for the quarter was slightly lower year over year mainly due to the stacking and leaching schedule. Daily production rates increased during the quarter and we expect to see an increase in production during the fourth quarter. Lower cash costs during the quarter were largely a result of higher grade material being placed on the leach pad during the year.

Tanjianshan(“TJS”)

TJS processed 283,654 tonnes of ore at a grade of 3.55 grams per tonne in the quarter compared to 218,330 tonnes at a grade of 4.25 during Q3 2011. The mine produced 28,944 ounces of gold at a cash operating cost of $396 per ounce in the quarter as compared to 26,935 ounces at a cash operating cost of $353 per ounce in Q3 2011. Gold production at TJS during the third quarter of 2012 was higher than the same quarter of 2011 as a result of increased mill throughput and slightly higher recovery rates, which offset the lower mill head grades. The increase in cash costs during the quarter was mainly due to the lower head grade.

Jinfeng

Jinfeng processed 356,575 tonnes of ore at a grade of 2.43 grams per tonne during the quarter compared to 379,352 tonnes at a grade of 4.26 grams per tonne during Q3 2011. The mine produced 25,821 ounces of gold at a cash operating cost of $946 per ounce during the quarter compared to 44,202 ounces at a cash operating cost of $424 during Q3 2011. Gold production at Jinfeng in Q3 2012 was lower than the same quarter of 2011 due to lower head grades and mill throughput. The open pit is currently in a waste stripping phase and lower grade stockpile material is being treated to make up for the lack of open pit ore. Cash costs were considerably higher due to the lower grade and mill throughput.

White Mountain

White Mountain processed 210,114 tonnes of ore at a grade of 3.14 grams of gold per tonne in the quarter compared to 191,157 tonnes at a grade of 4.15 grams per tonne during Q3 2011. The mine produced 16,342 ounces of gold at a cash operating cost of $766 per ounce during the quarter compared to 21,270 ounces at $475 per ounce during Q3 2011. Gold production at White Mountain in the third quarter of 2012 was lower than in the same period of 2011. This decrease was largely due to lower grades being mined and processed during the quarter, which also negatively affected the cash costs.

Efemcukuru

The Efemcukuru mine and mill operated at expected levels with 93,779 tonnes of ore processed at a grade of 9.31 grams of gold per tonnes in the quarter and approximately 27,005 ounces of gold recovered in concentrate. The paste fill system was commissioned during the quarter and the underground crushing system was completed and is now operational.

During the quarter 14,442 ounces were poured as pre-commercial production during the commissioning and testing of the Kisladag concentrate treatment plant. In September, the concentrate treatment plant was not being operated pending modifications to the circuit. We plan to sell the existing concentrate and future concentrate production to a third party until the modifications are completed. At the end of the quarter there were approximately 51,000 ounces of gold contained in concentrate.

Vila Nova

During the quarter Vila Nova processed 161,859 wet metric tonnes and sold 123,180 dry metric tonnes of iron ore compared to 148,220 wet metric tonnes produced and 170,781 dry metric tonnes sold in Q3 2011. Iron ore production in Q3 2012 increased at Vila Nova compared to the same quarter of 2011, mainly as a result of improved efficiencies in both the mine and treatment plant. Three shipments were completed in the quarter. These were 2 lump shipments and one sinter shipment. Operating costs averaged $56 per dry metric tonne (Q3 2011 - $64 per dry metric tonne).

Stratoni

During the third quarter, Stratoni mined 58,591 tonnes of run-of-mine ore and produced 14,084 tonnes of lead and zinc concentrate at an average cash cost of $717 per tonne of concentrate produced. During the same period, Stratoni sold 15,891 tonnes of concentrate at an average price of $913 per tonne.

Development

Eastern Dragon

At Eastern Dragon work continued during the quarter on the preparation of the Project Permit Approval (PPA) to be submitted to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). We anticipate that the application will be submitted by the end of 2012. Construction activities have been suspended until the PPA is approved.

Tocantinzinho

The Tocantinzinho project was granted the Preliminary Environmental License (PEL) in September, an important milestone in the permitting phase. The PEL confirms the environmental feasibility of the project and allows the Company to apply for the Construction License, the final permit needed for construction to commence. Work on site was limited to environmental and hydrology field work in the immediate area, along with geotechnical drilling of the proposed road corridor. The feasibility study is well advanced and will be completed in the fourth quarter 2012.

Perama Hill

Drilling activity at the Perama site continued throughout the quarter. Geotechnical drill holes have been drilled in the plant site to support geotechnical design analysis for civil structures and foundations. In addition drilling in the open pit area has been carried out to obtain drill core for geotechnical analysis for pit slope stability design. Processing of the Perama Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) application through the Ministry of Environment (MOE) continues, with a decision expected before the end of the year. Public meetings have been held in the district as prescribed by the MOE. All indications from the government agencies remain positive towards the project.

Olympias

Rehabilitation of the Olympias underground mine and processing plant continued during the quarter. In the mine, 406 meters of underground access was rehabilitated or developed. Development of the tunnel linking Stratoni and Olympias progressed well during the quarter, with 108 meters of advance. Metallurgical testwork to evaluate the proposed new processing facility at Stratoni continued during the third quarter. Commissioning of the Olympias processing plant was on-going during the quarter.

Skouries

Site work at Skouries during the quarter consisted mainly of tree cutting at the plant site, construction of access roads, and earthworks for various site infrastructures.

Certej

The Environmental Permit for Certej was approved by the Timisoara Regional Department of Environment during the quarter. Construction work advanced during the quarter on the temporary power line to site and the water pumping station on the Mures River.

Exploration Update

A total of 54,300 metres of exploration drilling were completed during the quarter at our exploration projects and mine operations in Greece, Romania, Turkey, Brazil, and China. With 132,800 meters of drilling completed year-to-date, we are on track to complete our 2012 exploration programs according to plan.

Turkey

In Turkey, drilling during the quarter continued at the Efemçukuru minesite, and commenced at Kisladag and at three reconnaissance projects (Sebin, Dolek, and Gaybular).

Exploration drilling resumed at the Kisladag minesite late in the quarter, testing conceptual targets defined by a combination of three-dimensional induced polarization/resistivity surveys, detailed ground magnetics, and soil geochemistry anomalies. This program is directed towards identifying possible mineralized satellite intrusions to the main porphyry system.

Six drillholes were completed at the Sebin porphyry/epithermal prospect in the Pontide Belt. The project area covers a large surface alteration zone with locally anomalous copper, molybdenum and gold values, but no significant mineralization has been intersected to date in drillholes. Drilling also began at the Dolek prospect in the Pontide Belt, and at the Gaybular project in Western Turkey.

At Efemcukuru 32 drillholes (8,440 metres) were completed on the Kestane Beleni northwest extension (KBNW), South Ore Shoot (SOS), and Kokarpinar vein targets. At KBNW, drilling defined a new shallowly northwest-plunging lower zone of mineralization which has been traced for nearly 400 metres along strike and remains open to the northwest. At the SOS, drilling identified high gold grades at 50 to 75 metre stepouts from previous mineralized holes. At Kokarpinar, limited drillsite availability meant that drilling was focused on shallow targets on the central and southern part of the vein. Selected drilling results are summarized in the table below:

Greece

Drilling continued at the Piavitsa prospect, with seven holes completed and approximately 7,500 metres drilled during the quarter. The primary target at Piavitsa is polymetallic, gold-silver rich, carbonate replacement sulfide mineralization along the Stratoni fault zone, similar to that typical of the Olympias deposit. All 23 drillholes completed in this year’s program have intersected the fault zone near the projected depth, and have cut intervals in the fault zone with some combination of massive sulfide, disseminated sulphide, or oxide material. Selected drilling results are summarized in the table below:

At Skouries, 17 drillholes (6,500 metres) were completed in the quarter, representing roughly half of the planned infill and confirmation programs. Infill drillholes have documented low but consistent copper and gold grades within the in-pit inferred resource halo of the deposit including 94.0 metres at 0.3 grams per tonne gold and 0.27% copper in hole SOP-99; and 92.0 metres at 0.32 grams per tonne gold and 0.31% copper in hole SOP-100. Confirmation drillholes have intersected the intensely stockwork veined potassically-altered deposit core, with copper and gold grades similar to that predicted by the resource model.

At the Fisoka copper-gold porphyry prospect, two holes were completed during the quarter on the northern stock, and drilling has now shifted to the untested central stock area. The northern stock drilling further defined the shallow supergene zone outlined in previous drilling programs.

At Perama Hill geotechnical, metallurgical and infill drilling was conducted on the main deposit and infrastructure sites. Exploration drilling of targets outside of the existing resource model and at Perama South will commence in Q4 2012.

Romania

At the Certej deposit, drill programs were completed during the quarter in the West Pit and Link Zone target areas. In the West Pit area, drilling tested for extensions of the high-grade Hondol and Kaiser vein systems, which were historically exploited in underground openings. Although this drilling failed to identify continuous high-grade veins, it outlined an approximately 50 metre wide, tabular west by northwest-striking zone of lower grade material which will be further tested in 2013. The Link Zone program, targeting underdrilled areas of the deposit between the West and Main zones, was completed during the quarter with 14 holes (5,700 metres) drilled. Most of these holes intersected zones of strong gold mineralization, which has positively impacted the deposit resource model.

China

Exploration drilling in China during the quarter included projects in the Guizhou, Jilin, and Qinghai regions. In Guizhou, exploration drilling was conducted within the Jinfeng mining license, at the nearby Shizhu prospect, and at the Weiruo prospect (Jinluo exploration license). At the Jinfeng deposit, exploration drilling continued to focus on the F3, F6, and F7 mineralized structures from both surface and underground drill locations. A total of 19 holes representing approximately 5,700 metres of drilling were completed. The surface drilling program continues to produce high grade intercepts associated with the F6 structure, with notable intercepts during the quarter including 16.0 metres at 16.49 grams per tonne gold (HDDS0275); 6.0 metres at 15.59 grams per tonne gold (also HDDS0275), and 22.0 metres at 5.14 grams per tonne gold (HDDS0282).

In Qinghai (Tanjianshan), the Qinglongtan North and Xijingou drilling programs were completed during the quarter, with 9 drillholes and 27 drillholes respectively. At Qinglongtan North, drilling focused on previously untested areas down dip and along strike from the northern end of the previously mined deposit. Several of these holes intersected strong mineralization, including intervals of 26.0 metres at 9.24 grams per tonne gold (QD279) and 9.1 metres at 2.68 grams per tonne gold (QD278). These new intercepts may represent a new high grade gold zone lying beneath the known deposit, and further drill testing is planned for the fourth quarter of 2012. At Xinjingou, step-out drilling tested for extensions to the known zones of high grade mineralization. Notable results from this program include 11.8 metres at 11.51 grams per tonne gold (XD073); 4.0 metres at 15.79 grams per tonne gold (XD075), and 9.0 metres at 8.01 grams per tonne gold (also XD075). Results are being compiled to determine if further drilling is justified at Xijingou. Late in the quarter, a second phase of drilling was initiated at the Jinlonggou deposit, testing a variety of near-pit structurally-defined targets.

In the Jilin region (White Mountain), drilling was conducted at the Dongdapo, Xiaoshiren, and Zhenzhumen prospect areas. No significant results have been obtained to date.

Brazil

No drilling was conducted during the quarter at the Tocantinzinho project. Exploration activities focused on reconnaissance-level evaluation of the adjacent Rubens Zilio license area through systematic soil sampling and prospecting.

At the Agua Branca project (35 kilometres south of Tocantinzinho) the 2012 drilling program was concluded, with 15 drillholes during the quarter testing for along-strike extensions of the Camarao zone. Although the mineralized zone demonstrates continuity to the southwest, grades are erratic, and no significant wide intercepts were obtained. Additional auger drilling, mapping, and rock sampling programs are underway to generate new drill targets at Agua Branca.

Fieldwork commenced during the quarter at the new Chapadinha project, which we are exploring under an option agreement. The Chapadinha project covers an area with extensive garimpo workings exploiting narrow veins high gold grades. Our work program is directed towards defining drill targets that will assess the potential of the area for a bulk-tonnage style deposit.
