Cautionary Note about Forward-looking
Statements and Information
Certain of the statements made and information
provided in this press release are forward-looking statements or
forward-looking information within the meaning of the United States
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable
Canadian securities laws. Often, these forward-looking statements
and forward-looking information can be identified by the use of
words such as “continues”, “focuses” or variations of such words
and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results
“can”, “could”, “likely”, “may”, “might”, “will” or “would” be
taken, occur or be achieved.
Forward-looking statements or information
contained in this press release include, but are not limited to,
statements or information with respect to: the advancement of
construction at Skouries, our focus on delivering value drivers at
existing operations and generally our strategy, plans and goals.
Forward-looking statements or information are by their nature based
on a number of assumptions that management considers reasonable.
However, such assumptions involve both known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which, if proven to be inaccurate,
may cause actual results, activities, performance or achievements
may be materially different from those described in the
forward-looking statements or information. These include
assumptions concerning: timing, cost and results of our
construction and development activities, improvements and
exploration; the future price of gold and other commodities;
exchange rates; anticipated values, costs, expenses and working
capital requirements; production and metallurgical recoveries;
mineral reserves and resources; our ability to unlock the potential
of our brownfield property portfolio; our ability to address the
negative impacts of climate change and adverse weather; consistency
of agglomeration and our ability to optimize it in the future; the
cost of, and extent to which we use, essential consumables
(including fuel, explosives, cement, and cyanide); the impact and
effectiveness of productivity initiatives; the time and cost
necessary for anticipated overhauls of equipment; expected
by-product grades; the use, and impact or effectiveness, of growth
capital; the impact of acquisitions, dispositions, suspensions or
delays on our business; the sustaining capital required for various
projects; and the geopolitical, economic, permitting and legal
climate that we operate in (including recent disruptions to
shipping operations in the Red Sea and any related shipping delays,
shipping price increases, or impacts on the global energy
market).
In addition, except where otherwise stated,
Eldorado has assumed a continuation of existing business operations
on substantially the same basis as exists at the time of this press
release. Even though we believe that the assumptions and
expectations represented by such statements or information are
reasonable, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking
statement or information will prove to be accurate. Many
assumptions may be difficult to predict and are beyond our
control.
Forward-looking statements or information is
subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
important factors that may cause actual results, activities,
performance or achievements to be materially different from those
described in the forward-looking statements or information. These
risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others: risks
relating to our operations in foreign jurisdictions (including
recent disruptions to shipping operations in the Red Sea and any
related shipping delays, shipping price increases, or impacts on
the global energy market); development risks at Skouries and other
development projects; community relations and social license;
liquidity and financing risks; climate change; inflation risk;
environmental matters; production and processing; waste disposal;
geotechnical and hydrogeological conditions or failures; the global
economic environment; risks relating to any pandemic, epidemic,
endemic or similar public health threats; reliance on a limited
number of smelters and off-takers; labour (including in relation to
employee/union relations, the Greek transformation, employee
misconduct, key personnel, skilled workforce, expatriates, and
contractors); indebtedness (including current and future operating
restrictions, implications of a change of control, ability to meet
debt service obligations, the implications of defaulting on
obligations and change in credit ratings); government regulation;
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; commodity price risk; mineral tenure;
permits; risks relating to environmental sustainability and
governance practices and performance; financial reporting
(including relating to the carrying value of our assets and changes
in reporting standards); non-governmental organizations;

technology systems; litigation and contracts; estimation of mineral
reserves and mineral resources; different standards used to prepare
and report mineral reserves and mineral resources; credit risk;
price volatility, volume fluctuations and dilution risk in respect
of our shares; actions of activist shareholders; reliance on
infrastructure, commodities and consumables (including power and
water); currency risk; interest rate risk; tax matters; dividends;
reclamation and long-term obligations; acquisitions, including
integration risks, and dispositions; regulated substances;
necessary equipment; co-ownership of our properties; the
unavailability of insurance; conflicts of interest; compliance with
privacy legislation; reputational issues; competition, and those
risk factors discussed in our most recent Annual Information Form
& Form 40-F. The reader is directed to carefully review the
detailed risk discussion in our most recent Annual Information Form
& Form 40-F filed on SEDAR+ and EDGAR under our Company name,
for a fuller understanding of the risks and uncertainties that
affect our business and operations.
The inclusion of forward-looking statements and
information is designed to help the reader understand management’s
current views of our near- and longer-term prospects, and it may
not be appropriate for other purposes. There can be no assurance
that forward-looking statements or information will prove to be
