2013 Third Quarter Financial and Operating Results
Record Quarterly Gold Production

VANCOUVER, BC – Paul N. Wright, 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, 2013.  Profit attributable to shareholders of the Company for the quarter was $36.4 million or $0.05 per share compared to $75.8 million or $0.11 per share for the same quarter in 2012.

“During the third quarter Eldorado produced 204,620 ounces of gold at average cash operating costs of $472 per ounce, a 21% increase in gold production.  Our gold mines continue to perform to plan and generate significant cash flows” said Paul Wright, CEO of Eldorado Gold. “With its strong balance sheet and comparatively low cost gold mining operations Eldorado is well-positioned with regard to the continuing weakness in gold prices.”

(1) The Company has included non-IFRS performance measures such as cash operating costs, total cash costs, gross profit from gold mining operations and cash flow from operations before changes in non-cash working capital throughout this document. Please see Non-IFRS Measures in our third quarter 2013 MD&A for a discussion of these measures.
 
Net income for the quarter was $36.4 million (or $0.05 per share), compared with $75.8 million (or $0.11 per share) in the third quarter of 2012. Gross profit from gold mining operations fell $23.7 million year over year as a result of a 20% decline in realized gold prices year over year partially offset by a 7% decline in total cash costs. Net income for the quarter was also impacted by a non-cash $12.7 million write-down in the Company’s investment in associates. The effective tax rate for the third quarter was 50% as compared to a rate of 31% in the third quarter of 2012 mainly as a result of the impact of the weakening Turkish lira against the US dollar on the tax basis of our Turkish tax assets. Other factors affecting the effective tax rate during the quarter included taxable foreign exchange gains on US dollar cash balances held by our Turkish subsidiaries as well as withholding taxes on dividends paid by Jinfeng.

Stratoni operating and financial data for 2012 shown in the table above reflects operations subsequent to February 24, 2012, the date of the European Goldfields Ltd. acquisition.

During the third quarter, Stratoni mined 60,011 tonnes of run-of-mine ore and produced 14,586 tonnes of lead and zinc concentrate at an average cash cost of $547 per tonne of concentrate sold.  During the same period, Stratoni sold 12,096 tonnes of concentrate at an average price of $820 per tonne.

Olympias
 
During the third quarter, Olympias treated 185,012 tonnes of tailings and produced 8,742 payable gold ounces. Due to an unanticipated volume of fines in the tailings, production slowed during the quarter and modifications to the filtering process were begun. Commercial production is now expected during the fourth quarter, once the modifications to the filtering process equipment are complete. Capital spending totalled $22.8 million during the quarter and included underground decline development, underground rehabilitation and process plant improvements.
 
Development Projects Update

Skouries
 
General earthworks in the plant site area and site clearing of the first tailings dam footprint continued during the quarter. The main decline work advanced as planned, with a total of 115 meters completed. Geotechnical investigations to support underground and open pit designs progressed during the quarter.
 
Olympias
 
The Stratoni-Olympias 8km decline advanced 55 meters during the quarter, putting the face at 1,242 meters. Water inflow increased during the quarter, impacting the rate of advance and requiring cover grouting to slow the inflow. More extensive controls will be implemented during the fourth quarter to deal with anticipated continuing inflow. Olympias mine rehabilitation and development advanced 212 meters and 270 meters, respectively, as the pace of hiring and new employee training increased during the quarter to meet the mine’s objectives.

Perama Hill
 
We are awaiting final approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) for Perama Hill. Approval of the EIA will allow construction of the initial infrastructure to commence and is required in order to obtain the permits to commence full construction. Preliminary engineering was substantially completed during the quarter. Additional engineering to support procurement of items with long lead-times was commenced during the quarter. Metallurgical testwork was completed and the results of the testwork will be included in the final plant design.
 
Certej
 
Geotechnical drilling and rock characterization work was conducted during the quarter in support of a pit slope stability analysis which will be used in the ultimate pit design. Geotechnical work was also performed to assess the conditions for the foundations of the process plant. Metallurgical testing continued throughout the quarter, including confirmatory flotation testing of extended ore zones and pressure oxidation testing. This work will continue during the fourth quarter. Design information from these areas will be incorporated into an updated study. Also included in the update will be infrastructure upgrades to accommodate the additional ore and waste tonnage expected to be handled over the life of the mine as a result of the updated resource model. Work was completed during the quarter on the first phase of construction of an alternate access road to the property.
 
Tocantinzinho
 
Permitting activities continued during the quarter at both the state and federal levels. Engineering efforts focussed on optimizing capital requirements of the project and development of updated operating costs. Work began on optimizing the layout of the site facilities and on the design of the site infrastructure. A business case for contractor mining was evaluated as an alternative to owner operated mining. Significant work was completed on development of a comprehensive tax model covering both investment capital and operating costs. During the fourth quarter we plan to review the geological model and develop a revised mine plan for incorporation into a revised life of mine economic analysis along with updated capital, operating and sustaining costs.  Non-essential field work was cancelled during the quarter. Field activity was limited to survey work needed to develop basic access to the site along the proposed main access road.
 
Eastern Dragon
 
Eastern Dragon remained on care and maintenance pending resolution of permitting issues. Site management worked with the local authorities to maintain local permits and permissions in good standing. Work continued on preparing the necessary paperwork to the National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”), as well as determining the timeline for review and approval.
 
Exploration Update

In the third quarter approximately 27,500 metres of exploration drilling were completed at the Company’s operating mines, developments and exploration projects, bringing the 2013 drilling total to 108,000 metres.

In Greece, continued drilling at the Piavitsa project focused on extending the first-pass drill coverage over the 2.5 km strike length of the mineralized Stratoni Fault Zone. Completion of a comprehensive relogging program and geological reinterpretation of the Olympias deposit culminated in an updated resource model late in the quarter.
 
 
7

 
 
In Romania, the resource expansion and infill drilling at the Certej deposit was completed early in the quarter and results were incorporated into an updated resource model which was published in our press release dated September 9, 2013. Exploration activities in Romania during the fourth quarter will be directed towards defining targets for drilling programs on three nearby exploration licenses.

In Turkey, drilling continued at the Efemcukuru minesite (both Kokarpinar and Kestane Beleni vein targets) and at the Ardala/Salinbas exploration project.

In China, exploration drilling programs focused on further delineation of Inferred Resources at the White Mountain Northern Extension, infilling high-grade zones at the Jinlonggou Bridge Zone and West Wall targets and step-out drilling in the newly defined Qinlongtan North Zone.

In Brazil, exploration activities concentrated on developing drilling targets at our early-stage projects and on new project generation.
