Eldorado Gold activates first filter presses at Skouries mine

VANCOUVER - Eldorado Gold Corporation has activated the first two tailings filter presses at its Skouries mine in northern Greece. The mine houses six Metso filter presses in total, with four currently operational and one as a spare unit. Once all six filter presses are operational, the plant will be able to run continuously, gradually boosting production capacity.

Eldorado Gold's President and CEO, Christian Milau, emphasized the importance of this milestone in the mine's commissioning process. The Skouries mine is projected to generate around 140,000 ounces of gold and 67 million pounds of copper per year throughout its operational lifespan. Commissioning and performance optimization activities are ongoing at the mine, with the remaining four filter presses slated for completion in November 2026.

Eldorado Gold operates across Canada, Türkiye, and Greece, with its shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.
