Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting

The management of Eldorado Gold Corporation is responsible for the integrity and fair presentation of the financial information contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements, which reflects amounts based on management’s best estimates and judgements. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Management has established and maintains a system of internal accounting control designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or unauthorized use, financial information is reliable and accurate and transactions are properly recorded and executed in accordance with management’s authorization. This system includes established policies and procedures, the selection and training of qualified personnel and an organization providing for appropriate delegation of authority and segregation of responsibilities. Any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Management has a process in place to evaluate internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management determined that as of December 31, 2023, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective and provided reasonable assurance of the reliability of our financial reporting and preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, appointed by the shareholders, has audited the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and has expressed their opinion in their report titled “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm”. The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 has also been audited by KPMG LLP, and their opinion is included in their report titled “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm”.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Eldorado Gold Corporation

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Eldorado Gold Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and changes in equity for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 22, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Evaluation of indicators of impairment or impairment reversal of property, plant and equipment

As discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying value of property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2023 was $3,755,559 thousand. As discussed in Notes 3.7 and 4(i), property, plant and equipment are reviewed each reporting for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Judgment is applied in assessing whether certain facts and circumstances are indicators of impairment, and accordingly, require an impairment test to be performed. The Company considers both external and internal sources of information in assessing whether there are any indicators that its assets or Cash Generating Units (CGU) may be impaired. The primary external factors considered are changes in estimated long-term metal prices, changes in laws and regulations and the Company’s market capitalization relative to its net asset carrying amount. The primary internal factors considered are the performance of its CGUs against expectations, changes in mineral reserves and resources, life of mine plans and exploration results.

We identified the evaluation of indicators of impairment or impairment reversal of property, plant and equipment as a critical audit matter. Significant auditor judgment was required to assess the Company’s determination of whether various internal and external factors, individually and in aggregate, result in impairment indicators or impairment reversal. Specifically, complex auditor judgment was required to assess the performance of certain CGUs against expectations, changes in estimated metal prices and the difference between the Company’s market capitalization and the carrying value of its net assets.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s impairment indicator assessment process. This included a control over the Company’s assessment of the difference between its market capitalization and the carrying value of its net assets, performance of certain CGUs against expectations and changes in estimated metal prices. We analyzed the components of the Company’s market capitalization reconciliation to the carrying value of its net assets. We evaluated the reasonableness of management's conclusion with respect to the Company’s assessment of the performance of certain CGUs against expectations by considering the current and past performance of the CGUs. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in assessing the long-term metal prices by comparing to third party data, and by evaluating the difference between the Company’s market capitalization and the carrying value of its net assets by reviewing market available information.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Eldorado Gold Corporation

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited Eldorado Gold Corporation and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and changes in equity for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 22, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Management’s Discussion and Analysis – Internal Controls over Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The material accounting policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are presented in Note 3 and, except as described in Note 5, have been applied consistently to all years presented, unless otherwise noted.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

All amounts are presented in U.S. dollars ("$") unless otherwise stated.

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on February 22, 2024.

3.1 Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

(i)Subsidiaries and business combinations

Subsidiaries are those entities controlled by Eldorado. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business acquisitions. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets acquired, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest.

The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of Eldorado’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, which the Company incurs in connection with a business combination, are expensed as incurred.

The material subsidiaries of the Company as at December 31, 2023 are described below:

Subsidiary	Location	Ownership interest	Operations and development projects owned
Tüprag Metal Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret AS ("Tüprag")	Turkiye	100%	Kişladağ Mine Efemçukuru Mine
Hellas Gold Single Member S.A. ("Hellas")	Greece	100%	Olympias Mine Stratoni Mine Skouries Project
Eldorado Gold (Québec) Inc.	Canada	100%	Lamaque Complex
Thracean Gold Mining SA	Greece	100%	Perama Hill Project
Thrace Minerals SA	Greece	100%	Sapes Project
Deva Gold SA ("Deva") (1)	Romania	80.5%	Certej Project

(1) In October 2022, the Certej project was reclassified to assets held for sale (Note 6).

(ii) Discontinued operations

Discontinued operations are presented in the consolidated statements of operations as a separate line.

(iii) Assets held for sale

Assets and businesses classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and gains or losses on subsequent remeasurements are included in the consolidated statements of operations. No depreciation is charged on assets and businesses classified as held for sale.

Assets and businesses are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered or settled principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The asset or business must be available for immediate sale and the sale must be highly probable within one year.

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

(iv)  Transactions with non-controlling interests

For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary acquired is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

Eldorado treats transactions in the ordinary course of business with non-controlling interests as transactions with third parties.

3.2 Foreign currency translation

(i)    Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of Eldorado’s subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency, as well as the functional currency of all significant subsidiaries.

(ii)    Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions, and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

3.3 Property, plant and equipment

(i)    Cost and valuation

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. When an asset is disposed of, it is derecognized and the difference between its carrying value and net sales proceeds is recognized as a gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations.

(ii)    Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment includes expenditures incurred on properties under development, significant payments related to the acquisition of land, mineral rights and property, plant and equipment which are recorded at cost on initial acquisition. Cost includes the purchase price and the directly attributable costs of acquisition or construction required to bring an asset to the location and condition necessary for the asset to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, including capitalized borrowing costs for qualifying assets. Proceeds from selling items before the related item of property, plant and equipment is available for use is recognized in profit or loss, together with the costs of producing those items.

(iii)    Deferred stripping costs

Stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a surface mine are considered production costs and included in the cost of inventory produced during the period in which the stripping costs are incurred, unless the stripping activity can be shown to provide access to additional mineral reserves, in which case the stripping costs are capitalized. Stripping costs incurred to prepare the ore body for extraction are capitalized as mine development costs (pre-stripping).

3.3 Property, plant and equipment (continued)

(iv)    Depreciation

Mine development costs, property, plant and equipment and other mining assets whose estimated useful life is the same as the remaining life of the mine are depreciated, depleted and amortized over a mine’s estimated life using the units-of-production method. Under this method, capitalized costs are multiplied by the number of tonnes mined, and divided by the estimated recoverable tonnes contained in proven and probable reserves and a portion of resources where it is considered highly probable that those resources will be economically extracted over the life of the mine.

Management reviews the estimated total recoverable tonnes contained in reserves and resources annually, and when events and circumstances indicate that such a review should be made. To reflect the pattern in which each asset's future economic benefits are expected to be consumed based on current mine plans, inferred resources are included in total estimated recoverable tonnes on a mine by mine basis if it is considered highly probable that those resources will be economically extracted, and the amounts of highly probable inferred resources are significant. Changes to estimated total recoverable tonnes contained in reserves and resources are accounted for prospectively.

Capitalized stripping costs are amortized on a unit-of-production basis over the proven and probable reserves to which they relate. Property, plant and equipment and other assets whose estimated useful lives are less than the remaining life of the mine are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Where components of an asset have a different useful life and the cost of the component is significant to the total cost of the asset, depreciation is calculated on each separate component. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each year and adjusted if appropriate.

Assets under construction are capitalized as capital works in progress until the asset is available for use. Capital works in progress are not depreciated. Depreciation commences once the asset is complete and available for use. Certain mineral property, exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized and are not subject to depreciation until the property is ready for its intended use.

(v)    Subsequent costs

Expenditure on major maintenance or repairs includes the cost of replacement parts of assets and overhaul costs. Where an asset or part of an asset is replaced and it is probable that further future economic benefit will flow to the Company, the expenditure is capitalized and the carrying value of the replaced asset or part of an asset is derecognized. Similarly, overhaul costs associated with major maintenance are capitalized when it is probable that future economic benefit will flow to the Company and any remaining costs of previous overhauls relating to the same asset are derecognized. All other expenditures are expensed as incurred.

(vi)    Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred except where they are attributable to the financing of construction or development of qualifying assets requiring a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended future use. The Company has defined any period of 12 months and longer as a substantial period of time. Interest is capitalized up to the date when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use are complete. Interest is ceased to be capitalized during periods of prolonged suspension of construction or development. Borrowing costs are classified as cash outflows from operating activities on the statements of cash flows except for borrowing costs capitalized which are classified as investing activities.

Investment income arising on the temporary investment of proceeds from borrowings specific to qualifying assets is offset against borrowing costs being capitalized.

(vii)    Mine standby costs and restructuring costs

Mine standby costs and costs related to restructuring a mining operation are charged directly to expense in the period incurred. Mine standby costs include labour, maintenance and mine support costs incurred during temporary shutdowns of a mine or a development project.

3.4 Leases

A contract is or contains a lease when the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and is adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The cost of the right-of-use asset includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs; and if applicable, an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Company in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. Right-of-use assets are presented in property, plant and equipment on the statements of financial position.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate of interest that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Company applies judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts which contain renewal options.

The Company does not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets, leases with lease terms that are less than 12 months at inception and arrangements for the use of land that grant the Company the right to explore, develop, produce or otherwise use the mineral resource contained in that land. Lease payments associated with these arrangements are instead recognized as an expense over the term on either a straight-line basis, or another systematic basis if more representative of the pattern of benefit. The Company applies judgement in determining whether an arrangement grants the Company the right to explore, develop, produce or otherwise use the mineral resource contained in that land.

3.5 Exploration, evaluation and development expenditures

(i)    Exploration

Exploration expenditures reflect the costs related to the initial search for mineral deposits with economic potential or obtaining more information about existing mineral deposits. Exploration expenditures typically include costs associated with the acquisition of mineral licences, prospecting, sampling, mapping, diamond drilling and other work involved in searching for mineral deposits. All expenditures relating to exploration activities are expensed as incurred except for the costs associated with the acquisition of mineral licences which are capitalized in property, plant and equipment.

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

3.5 Exploration, evaluation and development expenditures (continued)

(ii)    Evaluation

Evaluation expenditures reflect costs incurred at projects related to establishing the technical and commercial viability of mineral deposits identified through exploration or acquired through a business combination or asset acquisition.

Evaluation expenditures include the cost of:

▪establishing the volume and grade of deposits through drilling of core samples, trenching and sampling activities for an ore body that is classified as either a mineral resource or a proven and probable reserve;

▪determining the optimal methods of extraction and metallurgical and treatment processes;

▪studies related to surveying, transportation and infrastructure requirements;

▪permitting activities; and

▪economic evaluations to determine whether development of the mineralized material is commercially viable, including scoping, pre-feasibility and final feasibility studies.

Evaluation expenditures are capitalized if management determines that there is evidence to support the probability of generating positive economic returns in the future. A mineral resource is considered to have economic potential when it is expected that the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extraction of the mineral resource can be demonstrated considering long-term metal prices. Therefore, prior to capitalizing such costs, management determines that the following conditions have been met:

▪There is a probable future benefit that will contribute to future cash inflows;

▪The Company can obtain the benefit and control access to it; and

▪The transaction or event giving rise to the benefit has already occurred.

The evaluation phase is complete once technical feasibility of the extraction of the mineral deposit has been determined through preparation of a reserve and resource statement, including a mining plan as well as receipt of required permits and approval of the Board of Directors to proceed with development of the mine. On such date, capitalized evaluation costs are assessed for impairment and reclassified to development costs.

(iii)    Development

Development expenditures are those that are incurred during the phase of preparing a mineral deposit for extraction and processing. These include pre-stripping costs and underground development costs to gain access to the ore that is suitable for sustaining commercial mining, preparing land, construction of plant, equipment and buildings and costs of commissioning the mine and processing facilities.

Expenditures incurred on development projects continue to be capitalized until the mine and mill move into the production stage. The Company assesses each mine construction project to determine when a mine moves into the production stage. The criteria used to assess the start date are determined based on the nature of each mine construction project, such as the complexity of a plant or its location. Before such date, sales proceeds and their related production costs from the mine construction project are recognized in profit or loss. Various relevant criteria are considered to assess when the mine is substantially complete and ready for its intended use and moved into the production stage. The criteria considered include, but are not limited to, the following:

▪the level of capital expenditures compared to construction cost estimates;

▪the completion of a reasonable period of testing of mine plant and equipment;

▪the ability to produce minerals in saleable form (within specification); and

▪the ability to sustain ongoing production of minerals.

3.6 Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Company’s share of the net assets of the acquired business at the date of acquisition. When the excess is negative (negative goodwill), it is recognized immediately in income. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses is shown separately as goodwill in the consolidated financial statements. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in significantly influenced companies and tested for impairment as part of the overall investment.

Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses and tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (“CGUs") for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. If the composition of one or more CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated changes due to a reorganization, the goodwill is reallocated to the units affected.

3.7 Impairment of non-financial assets

Non-financial assets which include property, plant and equipment are reviewed each reporting period for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If such indicators exist, the Company determines the recoverable amount, and if applicable, recognizes an impairment loss.

An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost of disposal ("FVLCD") and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows or CGUs.

Value in use is determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset in its present form and its eventual disposal. Value in use is determined by applying assumptions specific to the Company’s continued use of the asset and does not take into account assumptions of significant future enhancements of an asset’s performance or capacity to which the Company is not committed.

FVLCD is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset or CGU in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal. For mining assets, FVLCD is often estimated using a discounted cash flow approach because a fair value is not readily available from an active market or binding sale agreement. Estimated future cash flows are calculated using estimated future prices, mineral reserves and resources, operating and capital costs. All assumptions used are those that an independent market participant would consider appropriate. The estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Non-financial assets other than goodwill impaired in prior periods are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that an item of mineral property and equipment or CGU is no longer impaired. An impairment charge is reversed through the consolidated statements of operations only to the extent of the asset’s or CGU’s carrying amount that would have been determined net of applicable depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized.

3.8 Financial assets

(i)    Classification and measurement

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

The classification of investments in debt instruments is driven by the business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Investments in debt instruments are measured at amortized cost if the business model is to hold the instrument for collection of contractual cash flows and those cash flows are solely principal and interest. If the business model is not to hold the debt instrument, it is classified as FVTPL. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest.

Equity instruments that are held for trading (including all equity derivative instruments) are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as FVTOCI.

(a) Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets carried as FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value with all transaction costs expensed in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial asset held at FVTPL are included in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they arise. Derivatives are also categorized as FVTPL unless they are designated as hedges.

(b) Financial assets at FVTOCI

Investments in equity instruments as FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to net earnings (loss) following the derecognition of the investment.

(c) Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any provisions for credit losses.

(ii)    Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the loss allowance for the financial asset is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the credit risk on the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured for the financial asset at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. For trade receivables the Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses, which allows the use of a lifetime expected loss provision.

Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.

(iii) Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when they mature or are sold, and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. Gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTPL or amortized cost are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Gains or losses on financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

3.9 Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are remeasured at their fair value. Derivatives embedded in financial liability contracts are recognized separately if they are not closely related to the host contract. Derivatives, including embedded derivatives from financial liability contracts, are recorded on the statements of financial position at fair value and the unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The method of recognizing any resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of operations.

3.10 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

(i)    Product inventory consists of stockpiled ore, ore on leach pads, crushed ore, in-circuit material at properties with milling or processing operations, gold concentrate, other metal concentrate, doré awaiting refinement and unsold bullion. Product inventory costs consist of direct production costs including mining, crushing and processing; site administration costs; and allocated indirect costs, including depreciation and amortization of mineral property, plant and equipment.

Inventory costs are charged to production costs on the basis of quantity of metal sold. At operations where the ore extracted contains significant amounts of metals other than gold, primarily silver, lead and zinc, cost is allocated between the joint products. The Company regularly evaluates and refines estimates used in determining the costs charged to production costs and costs absorbed into inventory carrying values based upon actual gold recoveries and operating plans.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. A write-down is recorded when the carrying value of inventory is higher than its net realizable value.

(ii)     Materials and supplies inventory consists of consumables used in operations, such as fuel, chemicals, reagents and spare parts, which are valued at the lower of average cost and net realizable value and, where appropriate, less a provision for obsolescence. Costs include acquisition, freight and other directly attributable costs.

3.11 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for the sale of bullion and metals in concentrate in the ordinary course of business.

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Trade receivables are recorded net of lifetime expected credit losses.

Settlement receivables arise from the sale of metals in concentrate where the amount receivable is finalized on settlement date based on the underlying commodity price. Settlement receivables are classified as fair value through profit and loss and are recorded at each reporting period at fair value based on forward metal prices. Changes in fair value of settlements receivable are recorded in revenue.

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

3.12 Debt and borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost, calculated using the effective interest method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities and other borrowings are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility and other borrowings will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs at which time, these transaction costs are included in the carrying value of the amount drawn on the facility and amortized using the effective interest rate method. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility and borrowings will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortized over the period the loan facility to which it relates is available to the Company.

3.13 Current and deferred income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations except to the extent that it relates to items recognized either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income or in equity, respectively.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings. The tax rate used is the rate that is substantively enacted.

Deferred income tax is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is not recorded if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss or on temporary differences relating to the investment in subsidiaries to the extent that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statements of financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

3.14 Share-based payment arrangements

Share-based payment arrangements related to stock option awards, deferred share units, equity settled restricted share units and performance share units are measured at fair value. Compensation expense for all stock options awarded to employees is measured based on the fair value of the options on the date of grant which is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For equity settled restricted share units, compensation expense is measured based on the quoted market value of the shares. For equity settled performance share units with market based vesting conditions, compensation expense is measured based on the fair value of the share units on the date of grant which is based on the expected future forward price of the Company's shares and an index consisting of global gold-based securities. Deferred share units are liability awards settled in cash and measured at the quoted market price at the grant date and the corresponding liability is adjusted for changes in fair value at each subsequent reporting date until the awards are settled.

The fair value of the options, restricted share units, performance share units and deferred units are expensed over the vesting period of the awards with a corresponding increase in equity. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest.

3.15 Asset retirement obligations

A provision is made for mine restoration and rehabilitation when an obligation is incurred. The provision is recognized as a liability with the corresponding cost included in the asset to which the obligation relates. At each reporting date the asset retirement obligation is remeasured to reflect changes in discount rates, and the timing or amount of the costs to be incurred.

The provision recognized represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the future costs required. Significant estimates and assumptions are made in determining the amount of asset retirement obligations. Those estimates and assumptions deal with uncertainties such as: requirements of the relevant legal and regulatory frameworks, the magnitude of necessary remediation activities and the timing, extent and costs of required restoration and rehabilitation activities.

These uncertainties may result in future actual expenditure differing from the amounts currently provided. The provision recognized is periodically reviewed and updated based on the facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes to the estimated future costs for operating sites are recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position by adjusting both the asset retirement obligation and related assets. Such changes result in changes in future depreciation and financial charges. Changes to the estimated future costs for sites that are closed, inactive, or where the related asset no longer exists, are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

3.16 Share capital

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Common shares held by the Company are classified as treasury stock and recorded as a reduction of shareholders’ equity.

3.17 Revenue recognition

Revenue is generated from the production and sale of doré, bullion and metals in concentrate. The Company’s performance obligations relate primarily to the delivery of these products to customers, with each shipment representing a separate performance obligation.

Revenue from the sale of doré, bullion and metals in concentrates is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of the product to the customer and has a present right to payment for the product.

(i) Metals in concentrate

Control over metals in concentrates is transferred to the customer and revenue is recognized when the product is considered to be physically delivered to the customer under the terms of the customer contract. This is typically when the concentrate has been placed on board a vessel for shipment or delivered to a location specified by the customer.

Metals in concentrate are sold under pricing arrangements where final prices are determined by market prices subsequent to the date of sale (the “quotational period”). Revenue from concentrate sales is recorded based on the estimated amounts to be received, based on the respective metal's forward price at the expected settlement date. Adjustments are made to settlements receivable in subsequent periods based on fluctuations in the forward prices until the date of final metal pricing. These subsequent changes in the fair value of the settlement receivable are recorded in revenue separate from revenue from contracts with customers.

Provisional invoices for metals in concentrate sales are typically issued shortly after or on the passage of control of the product to the customer and the Company receives 90% - 95% of the provisional invoice at that time. Additional invoices are issued as final product weights and assays are determined over the quotational period. Provisionally invoiced amounts are generally collected promptly.

(ii) Metals in doré

The Company sells doré directly to refiners, or, refiners may receive doré from the Company to refine the materials on the Company’s behalf and arrange for sale of the refined metal.

In the Turkiye operating segment, refined metals are sold at spot prices on the Precious Metal Market of the Borsa Istanbul. Sales proceeds are collected within several days of the completion of the sale transaction. Control over the refined gold or silver produced from doré is transferred to the customer and revenue recognized upon delivery to the customer’s bullion account on the Precious Metal Market of the Borsa Istanbul.

In the Canada segment, doré and refined metals are sold at spot prices with sales proceeds collected within several days of the sales transaction. Control is typically transferred to the customer and revenue recognized upon delivery to a location specified by the customer.

3.18 Finance income and expenses

Finance income includes interest income on funds invested (including financial assets carried at FVTPL) and changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVTPL. Interest income is recognized as it accrues in the consolidated statements of operations, using the effective interest method.

Finance expenses include borrowing costs, unwinding of the discount on provisions, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and impairment losses recognized on financial assets. All borrowing costs are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations using the effective interest method, except for those amounts capitalized as part of the cost of qualifying property, plant and equipment.

3.19 Earnings (loss) per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the earnings or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the earnings or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which comprise share options, restricted share units and performance share units granted to employees.

4. Judgements and estimation uncertainty

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each period end. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Significant areas requiring the use of management assumptions, estimates and judgements include the valuation of property, plant and equipment and goodwill, estimated recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources, inventory, asset retirement obligations and current and deferred taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Outlined below are some of the areas which require management to make significant judgements, estimates and assumptions.

(i) Valuation of property, plant and equipment and goodwill

Property, plant and equipment and goodwill are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. Goodwill is tested at least annually.

Calculating the recoverable amount, including estimated FVLCD of CGUs for property, plant and equipment and goodwill, requires management to make estimates and assumptions with respect to discount rates, future production levels including amount of recoverable reserves, resources and exploration potential, operating and capital costs, long-term metal prices, and estimates of the fair value of mineral properties beyond proven and probable reserves.

Changes in any of the assumptions or estimates used in determining the recoverable amount could result in additional impairment or reversal of impairment recognized.

Judgment is applied in assessing whether certain facts and circumstances are indicators of impairment, and accordingly, require an impairment test to be performed. The Company considers both external and internal sources of information in assessing whether there are any indications that its assets or CGUs may be impaired. The primary external factors considered are changes in estimated long-term metal prices, changes in laws and regulations and the Company’s market capitalization relative to its net asset carrying amount. The primary internal factors considered are the performance of its CGUs against expectations, changes in mineral reserves and resources, life of mine plans and exploration results.

4. Judgements and estimation uncertainty (continued)

(i) Valuation of property, plant and equipment and goodwill (continued)

Mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates are based on various assumptions relating to operating matters, including, with respect to production costs, mining and processing recoveries, cut-off grades, as well as assumptions relating to long-term commodity prices and exchange rates and capital costs. Cost estimates are based primarily on feasibility study estimates or operating history. Estimates are prepared under supervision of appropriately qualified persons, but will be impacted by forecasted commodity prices, exchange rates, capital and production costs and recoveries amongst other factors. Estimated recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources are used to determine the depreciation of property, plant and equipment at operating mine sites, in accounting for deferred stripping costs, in performing impairment testing and for forecasting the timing of the payment of decommissioning and restoration costs. Therefore, changes in the assumptions used could impact the carrying value of assets, depreciation and impairment charges recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and the carrying value of the asset retirement obligation.

(ii) Inventory

Inventories are measured at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. The determination of net realizable value involves the use of estimates. The net realizable value of inventories is calculated as the estimated price at the time of eventual sale based on prevailing and forecast metal prices less estimated future costs to convert the inventories into saleable form and associated selling costs. The net realizable value of inventories is assessed at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the estimates of net realizable value may result in a write-down of inventories or a reversal of a previous write-down.

In determining the valuation of heap leach ore inventories, the Company makes estimates of recoverable ounces on the leach pads based on quantities of ore placed on the leach pads, the grade of ore placed on the leach pads and an estimated recovery rate. Actual timing and ultimate recovery of gold contained on the leach pads can differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates of recoverable ounces on the leach pads can impact the Company’s ability to recover the carrying amount of the inventories and may result in a write-down of inventories.

(iii) Asset retirement obligation

The asset retirement obligation provision represents management's best estimate of the present value of future cash outflows required to settle the liability which reflect estimates of future costs, inflation, requirements of the relevant legal and regulatory frameworks and the timing of restoration and rehabilitation activities. Estimated future cash outflows are discounted using a risk-free rate based on U.S. Treasury bond rates. Changes to asset retirement obligation estimates are recorded with a corresponding change to the related item of property, plant and equipment, or to the statements of operations if there is no related property, plant and equipment. Adjustments to the carrying amounts of related items of property, plant and equipment can result in a change to future depreciation expense.

(iv) Current and deferred taxes

Judgements and estimates of recoverability are required in assessing whether deferred tax assets recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position are recoverable which is based on an assessment of the ability to use the underlying future tax deductions before they expire against future taxable income. Deferred tax liabilities arising from temporary differences on investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are recognized unless the reversal of the temporary differences is not expected to occur in the foreseeable future and can be controlled, which requires judgement.

Assumptions about the generation of future taxable earnings and repatriation of retained earnings depend on management’s estimates of future production and sales volumes, commodity prices, reserves, operating costs, decommissioning and restoration costs, capital expenditures, dividends and other capital management transactions.

4. Judgements and estimation uncertainty (continued)

(iv) Current and deferred taxes (continued)

The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions and judgement is required in the application of income tax legislation in these jurisdictions. These estimates and judgements are subject to risk and uncertainty and could result in an adjustment to current and deferred tax provisions and a corresponding increase or decrease to earnings or loss for the period.

5. Adoption of new accounting standards

(a)Current adoption of new accounting standards

The following amendments to existing standards have been adopted by the Company commencing January 1, 2023:

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting Policies

In February 2021, the IASB published a narrow scope amendment to IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements' and IFRS Practice Statement 2. The amendments replace all instances of the term 'significant accounting policies' with 'material accounting policy information', requiring companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. The amendments define what is 'material accounting information' (being information that, when considered together with other information included in an entity's financial statements, can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general-purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements) and explain how to identify when accounting policy information is material. The amendments apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, and applied prospectively. The Company adopted these amendments, which did not result in any changes to the Company's accounting policies themselves, however they impacted the accounting policy information disclosed in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company's material accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3.

Amendments to IAS 12: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a single transaction

In May 2021, the IASB published a narrow scope amendment to IAS 12 Income Taxes. In September 2021, IAS 12 was revised to reflect this amendment. The amendment narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences such as deferred taxes on leases and decommissioning obligations. As a result, companies need to recognize a deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability for these temporary differences arising on initial recognition. The amendment applies for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, and applied retrospectively. The Company previously accounted for deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities on leases and asset retirement obligations resulting in the same outcome as under the amendments. Therefore, there was no material impact on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this amendment.

Amendments to IAS 12: International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules

In May 2023, the IASB issued 'International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules' which amends the scope of IAS 12 to clarify that the standard applies to income taxes arising from tax law enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Pillar Two model rules published by The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), including tax law that implements qualified domestic minimum top up taxes described in those rules. The Company has adopted the amendment to IAS 12 in the current year. There was no material impact on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this amendment. Refer to Note 19 for further information.

5. Adoption of new accounting standards (continued)

(b) New standards issued and not yet effective

Below are new standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations that have been issued and are not yet effective. The Company plans to apply the new standards or interpretations in the annual period for which they are effective.

Classification of liabilities as current or non-current

In January 2020, the IASB published narrow scope amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The narrow scope amendment clarifies that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the amendments on its consolidated financial statements.

Non-current liabilities with covenants

In October 2022, the IASB published a narrow scope amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. After reconsidering certain aspects of the 2020 amendments, noted above in 'Classification of liabilities as current or non-current',the IASB reconfirmed that only covenants with which a company must comply on or before the reporting date affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current. Covenants with which the Company must comply after the reporting date do not affect a liability’s classification at that date. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and applied retrospectively. The Company has considered the amendment and concluded that there is no material impact on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this amendment.

13. Goodwill

As of December 31, 2023 all goodwill relates to the Lamaque Complex ("Lamaque") CGU. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually on December 31 and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable amount of the Lamaque CGU is based on the net present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGU. The recoverable amount used by the Company represents the CGU’s FVLCD, a Level 3 fair value measurement, as it was determined to be higher than value in use.

The significant assumptions used for determining the recoverable amount of goodwill in the Lamaque CGU are reflected in the table below. Management used judgement in determining estimates and assumptions with respect to discount rates, future production levels including amounts of recoverable reserves, resources and exploration potential, operating and capital costs, long-term metal prices and estimates of the fair value of mineral properties beyond proven and probable reserves. Metal pricing assumptions were based on consensus forecast pricing, and the discount rates were based on a weighted average cost of capital, adjusted for country risk and other risks specific to the CGU. Cash flows were projected through to 2038. Changes in any of the assumptions or estimates used in determining the fair values could impact the recoverable amount of goodwill analysis.

	2023	2022
Gold price ($/oz)	$1,900 - $1,700	$1,725 - $1,600
Real discount rate	6.25% - 7.25%	6.00% - 7.00%

The estimated recoverable amount of the Lamaque CGU including goodwill exceeded its carrying amount as at December 31, 2023 by approximately $164 million. Impairment would result from a decrease in the long-term gold price of $150 per ounce, or an increase in operating expenditures by 16% with all other assumptions being kept consistent.

(a) Skouries Project Financing Facility ("Term Facility")

On April 5, 2023, the Company completed the €680,400 Term Facility for the development of the Skouries project in Northern Greece. The Term Facility includes €200,000 of funds from the Greek Recovery and Resilience Facility (the "RRF"). The Term Facility also provides a €30,000 revolving credit facility to fund reimbursable value added tax ("VAT") expenditures relating to the Skouries project. The project financing further includes, in addition to the Term Facility, a Contingent Overrun Facility for an additional 10% of capital costs, funded by the lenders and Hellas Gold Single Member S.A. ("Hellas") in the same proportion as the Term Facility. The Term Facility is non-recourse to Eldorado Gold Corporation and is secured by the Skouries project and the Hellas operating assets.

The Company's equity commitment for the project is backstopped by a letter of credit in the amount of €126,211 ($139,463) as at December 31, 2023, issued under the Company's $250,000 amended and restated fourth senior secured credit facility (the "Fourth ARCA") (Note 16(c)). The letter of credit will be reduced Euro for Euro as the Company invests further in the Skouries project.

The Term Facility includes the following components:

i.€480,400 commercial loans at a variable interest rate comprised of six-months EURIBOR plus a fixed margin, with 70% of the variable rate exposure economically hedged through an interest rate swap for the term of the facility (Note 27(e)).

ii.€100,000 initial RRF loans at a fixed interest rate of 3.04% for the term of the facility.

iii.€100,000 additional RRF loan at a fixed interest rate of 4.06% for the term of the facility.

In the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company completed four drawdowns on the Term Facility totalling €153,236 ($166,738), including €105,322 ($114,602) of commercial loans and €47,914 ($52,136) from the RRF loans. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company completed drawdowns on the VAT revolving credit facility totalling €13,464 ($14,588) and repaid €10,505 ($11,328).

In April 2023, in accordance with the requirements of the Term Facility, the Company entered into a secured hedging program including gold and copper commodity swaps, an interest rate swap and U.S. dollar to Euro forward contracts (Note 27(d),(e),(f)).

Drawings from the Term Facility will continue on a periodic basis through the earlier of March 31, 2026, or three months following completion of the Skouries project. There is a deferral option, which if exercised, will extend drawings from the Term Facility through the earlier of August 26, 2026, or three months following completion of the Skouries project.

Repayment of the commercial loans, the RRF loans, and the Contingent Overrun Facility will commence on June 30, 2026, with 14 semi-annual installments, through to December 31, 2032. If the deferral option is exercised, repayment will commence on December 31, 2026, with 13 semi-annual installments, through to December 31, 2032.

Proceeds from the VAT Facility will be drawn and repaid on a revolving basis, with a maturity date of the earlier of June 30, 2027, or 18 months following completion of the Skouries project.

The Term Facility contains a number of standard financial covenants, including debt service and leverage ratios. The Company is in compliance with its covenants as at December 31, 2023.

As at December 31, 2023, €86,781 ($95,893) of cash and cash equivalents are proceeds from the Term Facility and are designated for the use of constructing the Skouries project and to fund reimbursable VAT expenditures relating to the Skouries project.

(b) Senior Notes

On August 26, 2021, the Company completed an offering of $500 million senior unsecured notes with a coupon rate of 6.25% due September 1, 2029 (the “senior notes”). The senior notes pay interest semi-annually on March 1 and September 1, which began on March 1, 2022.

The senior notes are guaranteed by Eldorado Gold (Netherlands) B.V., SG Resources B.V., Tuprag Metal Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret AS, and Eldorado Gold (Québec) Inc., all wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

The senior notes are redeemable by the Company in whole or in part, for cash:

i.At any time prior to September 1, 2024, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior notes, accrued and unpaid interest and a premium at the greater of 1% of the principal value of the notes to be redeemed, or the present value of remaining interest to September 1, 2024, discounted at the treasury yield plus 50 basis points.

ii.At any time prior to September 1, 2024, up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the senior notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

iii.On and after the dates provided below, at the redemption prices, expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the senior notes:

September 1, 2024     103.125%

September 1, 2025     101.563%

September 1, 2026 and thereafter     100.000%

The redemption features described above constitute an embedded derivative which was separately recognized at its fair value of $4,806 on initial recognition of the senior notes and recorded in other assets. The embedded derivative is classified as fair value through profit and loss. The increase in fair value in the year ended December 31, 2023 is $1,959, which is recognized in finance costs (Note 18(b)).

The senior notes contain covenants that restrict, among other things, distributions in certain circumstances and sales of certain material assets, in each case, subject to certain conditions. The Company is in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2023.

The fair market value of the senior notes as at December 31, 2023 is $471,600.

(c) Senior Secured Credit Facility

On October 15, 2021, the Company executed a $250 million amended and restated fourth senior secured credit facility (the "Fourth ARCA") with an option to increase the available credit by $100 million through the accordion feature, and with a maturity date of October 15, 2025. The Fourth ARCA replaced a $450 million amended and restated senior secured credit facility (the "third amended and restated credit agreement" or "TARCA").

The Fourth ARCA contains covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur additional unsecured indebtedness except in compliance with certain conditions, incur certain lease obligations, make distributions in certain circumstances, or sell material assets. Significant financial covenants include a minimum Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) to interest ratio and a maximum debt net of unrestricted cash ("net debt") to EBITDA ratio ("net leverage ratio"). The Company is in compliance with its covenants as at December 31, 2023.

The Fourth ARCA is secured on a first lien basis by a general security agreement from the Company, including the real property of the Company and Eldorado Gold (Québec) Inc. in Canada, as well as the shares of each of SG Resources B.V., Tüprag, Eldorado Gold (Netherlands) BV and Eldorado Gold (Québec) Inc., all wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

Under the Fourth ARCA, the revolving credit facility bears interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") loan rate plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% for a one month’s duration, 0.15% for a three-months’ duration, and 0.25% for a six-months’ duration for amounts drawn, plus a margin of 2.125% - 3.25% for amounts drawn. The undrawn portion of the facility incurs standby fees of 0.47813% - 0.73125% while the letters of credit not secured under the revolving credit facility bear interest at 0.90% - 1.33%. In each case, interest or fees are dependent on a net leverage ratio pricing grid.

In September 2022, the Fourth ARCA was amended to, replace the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate with a benchmark rate based on the SOFR; permit the revolving credit facility to be used to provide a bank-issued letter of credit ("Project Letter of Credit") in favour of the lenders under the Term Facility; and introduce Euro availability for the Project Letter of Credit.

As at December 31, 2023 the Company’s current interest charges and fees are as follows: SOFR loan rate plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% for a one month’s duration, 0.15% for a three-months’ duration, and 0.25% for a six-months’ duration, plus a margin of 2.125% on any amounts drawn from the revolving credit facility and standby fees of 0.47813% on the available and undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility. The fees on the €126,211 and CDN $426 letters of credit secured by the revolving credit facility are 2.125% plus a fronting fee of 0.25%. The fee on the €58,216 letter of credit secured by the revolving credit facility is 0.90%.

As at December 31, 2023, the Company has letters of credit outstanding in Greece and Canada of €126,211, €58,216 and CDN $426, totaling $204,280 (December 31, 2022 – €58,216 and CDN $426, totaling $62,664). The €58,216 and CDN $426 letters of credit were issued to secure certain obligations in connection with the Company's operations.

(Currency amounts in thousands, unless otherwise stated except share and per share amounts)

17. Asset retirement obligations (continued)

The provision is calculated as the present value of estimated future net cash outflows based on the following key assumptions:

	Turkiye	Canada	Greece	Romania
	%	%	%	%
At December 31, 2023
Inflation rate	2.5 to 3.2	3.2	2.3 to 2.5	2.5
Discount rate	3.9	3.9	4.0 to 4.2	4.2
At December 31, 2022
Inflation rate	2.3 to 3.1	2.6	2.4 to 2.8	2.5
Discount rate	4.0 to 4.1	3.9	4.1 to 4.4	4.1

The discount rate is a risk-free rate based on U.S. Treasury bond rates with maturities commensurate with mining operations and projects under development. U.S. Treasury bond rates have been used for all of the mining operations and projects under development as the liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars and the majority of the expenditures are expected to be incurred in U.S. dollars. Similarly, the inflation rates used in determining the present value of the future net cash outflows are based on estimated U.S. inflation rates.

In relation to the asset retirement obligations in Greece and Canada, the Company has the following:

(a)A €50,000 Letter of Guarantee to the Ministry of Environment and Energy and Climate Change ("MEECC") as security for the due and proper performance of rehabilitation works committed in relation to the mining and metallurgical facilities of the Kassandra Mines (Olympias, Stratoni and Skouries) and the removal, cleaning and rehabilitation of the old Olympias tailings. Subsequent to year-end, this Letter of Guarantee was amended for a 15-year term to May 27, 2038, and has an annual fee of 102 basis points.

(b)A €7,500 Letter of Guarantee to the MEECC for the due and proper performance of the Kokkinolakkas Tailings Management Facility, committed in connection with the Environmental Impact Assessment approved for the Kassandra Mines (Olympias, Stratoni and Skouries). Subsequent to year-end, this Letter of Guarantee was amended for a 15-year term to May 27, 2038, and has an annual fee of 107 basis points.

(c)Restricted cash of $2,027 (2022 – $1,979) relates to an environmental guarantee deposit posted as security for rehabilitation works primarily in relation to Lamaque.

19. Income taxes (continued)

On July 15, 2023, Turkiye enacted an income tax rate increase from 20% to 25% for general income, from 19% to 24% for certain manufacturing activities (including mining), and from 19% to 20% for export income. The rate increases were applicable retroactively to January 1, 2023. The rate change resulted in $8,200 current tax expense and $22,589 deferred tax expense recognized in Q3 2023.

On December 31, 2023, Turkiye announced application of hyperinflation accounting for the year ended December 31, 2023. This resulted in a $59,361 reduction to the ending deferred tax liability and a corresponding deferred tax recovery for Q4 2023.

On January 22, 2022 a decrease in the corporate income tax rate in Turkiye was enacted for certain qualifying corporations on specified income. The corporate income tax rate reduced from 23% to 22% in 2022 and will reduce from 20% to 19% in 2023 onwards. The reduction is effective retroactively from January 1, 2022 and onwards. The opening deferred tax liability and the deferred tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 were reduced by $4,755 for the year ended December 31, 2022 due to the tax rate reduction.

The change in the Company’s net deferred tax position was as follows:

	2023		2022
Net deferred income tax liability
Balance at January 1,	$	410,219	$	439,195

Cumulative losses with a deferred tax benefit of $218,615 (2022 – $191,448) have not been recognized. The gross amount of tax losses for which no deferred tax asset was recognized expire as follows:

Canadian net operating loss carryforwards	$	464,761	2030-2043	$	448,935	2029-2042
Canadian capital losses	258,795		none	229,146		none
Greek net operating loss carryforwards	182,444		2024-2028	177,188		2023-2027
Romanian net operating loss carryforwards	6,811		2024-2030	1,837		2023-2029

Deductible temporary differences

At December 31, 2023, the Company had deductible temporary differences for which deferred tax assets of $86,864 (2022 – $99,835) have not been recognized because it is not probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the Company can utilize the benefits. The vast majority of these temporary benefits have no expiry date.

Temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries

The Company has not recognized deferred tax liabilities in respect of historical unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which we are able to control the timing of the remittance and are considered reinvested for the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2023, these earnings amount to $958,595 (2022 – $895,198). Substantially all of these earnings would be subject to withholding taxes if they were remitted by the foreign subsidiaries.

Other factors affecting taxation

During 2023, deferred tax expense of $29,250 (2022 – $35,863) was recognized due to the net decrease in the value of future tax deductions as a result of foreign exchange movements. Of this expense, $38,421 was due to the weakening of the Turkish lira against the U.S. dollar. This expense was partially offset by a $9,160 recovery due to the strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar. The Company expects that any future significant foreign exchange movements in the Turkish Lira or Euro in relation to the U.S. dollar could cause significant volatility in the deferred income tax expense or recovery.

Global minimum top-up tax

Pillar Two legislation has been enacted or substantively enacted in certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The legislation will be effective for the Company’s financial year beginning January 1, 2024. The Company has performed an assessment of the Company’s potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes. This assessment is based on the most recent information available regarding the financial performance of the constituent entities in the group. Based on the assessment performed, the transitional CbCR safe harbour rules apply in all jurisdictions in which the Company operates and management is not currently aware of any circumstances under which this might change. Therefore, based on the most recent information available, the Company does not expect a potential material exposure to Pillar Two top-up taxes.

The Company has applied a temporary mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for the impacts of the top-up tax and would account for it as a current tax in the unlikely event that this would be incurred.

(Currency amounts in thousands, unless otherwise stated except share and per share amounts)

21. Share-based payment arrangements (continued)

Currently, the Company has two types of RSUs:

(a)RSU with no performance criteria

These RSUs are exercisable into one common share once vested, for no additional consideration. They vest as follows: one third on the first anniversary of the grant date, one third on the second anniversary of the grant date and one third on the third anniversary of the grant date. RSUs with no performance criteria terminate on the third anniversary of the grant date. All vested RSUs which have not been redeemed by the date of termination are automatically redeemed. Such RSUs may be redeemed by the holder in shares or cash, with cash redemptions subject to the approval of the Board. 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, 383,427 (2022 - 176,414) RSUs with no performance criteria were granted at an average grant-date fair value of CDN $14.74 (2022 - CDN $14.44) under the Company’s RSU plan. The fair value of each RSU issued is determined based on the quoted market value of the Company's shares on date of grant.

A summary of the status of the RSUs with no performance criteria and changes during the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is as follows:

	2023	2022
At January 1,	328,677	471,762
Granted	383,427	176,414
Redeemed	(145,598)	(294,993)
Forfeited	(85,681)	(24,506)
At December 31,	480,825	328,677

As at December 31, 2023, no RSUs are vested and exercisable (2022 – 17,371).

(b)RSU with performance criteria

RSUs with performance criteria cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to achievement of predetermined market-based performance criteria. When fully vested, the number of RSUs redeemed will range from 0% to 200% of the target award, subject to the performance of the share price over the three-year period.

There were no RSUs with performance criteria granted during the year ended December 31, 2023. There were 222,144 (2022 – 229,979) RSUs with performance criteria granted as a result of the performance criteria being met during the year, which were then redeemed for common shares issued from treasury stock. The fair value of each RSU with market-based performance criteria issued is determined based on fair value of the share units on the date of grant which is based on a valuation model which uses the expected future forward price of the Company's shares and an index consisting of global gold-based securities.

A summary of the status of the RSUs with performance criteria and changes during the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is as follows:

	2023	2022
At January 1,	566,740	908,377
Granted	222,144	229,979
Redeemed	(444,288)	(459,958)

21. Share-based payment arrangements(continued)

(iii)Deferred units plan

The Company has an independent directors deferred unit plan under which deferred units ("DU's") are granted by the Board from time to time to independent directors (“the Participants”). DU's may be redeemed only on retirement of the independent director from the Board (the “Termination Date”) by providing the redemption notice to the Company specifying the redemption date which shall be no later than December 15 of the first calendar year commencing after the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurred (the “DU Redemption Date”). The participant receives a cash payment equal to the market value of such DU's as of the DU Redemption Date. 

At December 31, 2023, 405,051 DU's were outstanding (2022 – 335,829) with a fair value of $5,254 (2022 – $2,803), which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value was determined based on the closing share price at December 31, 2023.

(iv)Performance share units plan

The Company has a Performance Share Unit plan (the “PSU Plan") whereby performance share units ("PSUs") may be granted to senior management of the Company at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Under the PSU Plan, PSUs cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date (the “PSU Redemption Date”) and are subject to terms and conditions including the achievement of predetermined performance criteria. When fully vested the number of PSUs redeemed will range from 0% to 200% of the target award, subject to the achievement of the performance criteria. Once vested, at the option of the Company, PSU’s are redeemable as a cash payment equal to the market value of the vested PSUs as of the PSU Redemption Date, common shares of the Company equal to the number of vested PSUs, or a combination of cash and shares equal to the market value of the vested PSUs, for no additional consideration from the PSU holder and are redeemed as soon as practicable after the PSU Redemption Date.

There were 421,502 PSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2023 under the PSU Plan (December 31, 2022 – 352,837) with a fair value of CDN $22.39 per unit (December 31, 2022 – $28.66). In addition, no PSUs were granted as a result of the performance criteria being met during the year (December 31, 2022 – 264,083), which would have been redeemed for common shares. The current maximum number of common shares authorized for issuance from treasury under the PSU Plan is 3,126,000. The fair value of each PSU issued is determined based on fair value of the share units on the date of grant which is based on the expected future forward price of the Company's shares and an index consisting of global gold-based securities.

Movements in the PSUs during the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows:

	2023	2022
At January 1,	342,670	278,020
Granted	421,502	616,920
Redeemed	—	(528,166)
Forfeited	(74,997)	(24,104)
At December 31,	689,175	342,670

23. Financial risk management

23.1 Financial risk factors

Eldorado’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and metal price and global market risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Eldorado’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance.

(i)    Market risk

a.Foreign exchange risk

The Company operates principally in Turkiye, Canada and Greece, and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Company's functional currency.

Eldorado’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, marketable securities, non-current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other current and non-current liabilities are denominated in several currencies, and are therefore subject to fluctuation against the U.S. dollar.

In April 2023, in conjunction with the Term Facility, the Company entered into foreign exchange contracts to fix the U.S. Dollar to Euro exchange rate for a portion of the Term Facility repayments (Note 27(f)), reducing its exposure to foreign exchange risk.

In August 2023, the Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to fix the U.S. Dollar to Euro exchange rate for a portion of the Company’s equity commitment for the Skouries project (Note 27(b)), reducing its exposure to foreign exchange risk.

The Company continues to use zero-cost collars to reduce the risk associated with fluctuations of the Euro and Canadian dollar (Note 27(a)) at Olympias and Lamaque, respectively.

The tables below summarize Eldorado’s exposure to various currencies denominated in the foreign currency at December 31, 2023 and 2022. The tables do not include amounts denominated in U.S. dollars as at December 31, 2023.

Based on the balances as at December 31, 2023, a 1% increase or decrease in the U.S. dollar exchange rate against all of the other currencies on that date would have resulted in an increase or decrease of approximately $942 (2022 – $61) in earnings before income tax.

Based on the outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts (Note 27(f)) as at December 31, 2023, a 10% strengthening (weakening) of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar across the forward curve would result in an increase (decrease) to earnings before income tax of approximately $17 million.

Cash flows from operations are exposed to foreign exchange risk, as commodity sales are set in U.S. dollars and a certain amount of operating expenses are in the currency of the country in which mining operations take place.

23. Financial risk management (continued)

b.Metal price and global market risk

The Company is subject to price risk for fluctuations in the market price of gold and the global concentrate market. Gold and other metals prices are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control, including central bank sales, demand for concentrate, producer hedging activities, the relative exchange rate of the U.S. dollar with other major currencies, global and regional demand, changes to import taxes and political and economic conditions. The commodity price risk associated with financial instruments relates primarily with the fair value changes caused by final settlement pricing adjustments to trade receivables.

Worldwide gold and other metals production levels also affect their prices, and the price of these metals is occasionally subject to rapid short-term changes due to speculative activities. From time to time, the Company may use commodity price contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the price of gold and other metals.

Other price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. This includes equity price risk, whereby the Company’s investments in marketable securities are subject to market price fluctuation.

In April 2023, in conjunction with the Term Facility, the Company entered into gold and copper commodity swap contracts, reducing its exposure to fluctuations in future metal prices. The contracts settle on July 7, 2026, based on the average applicable commodity price over the period of June 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026 (Note 27(d)).

Based on the outstanding gold commodity swap contracts (Note 27(d)) as at December 31, 2023, a $200 per ounce increase (decrease) in the gold forward curve would result in a decrease (increase) to earnings before income tax of approximately $6 million.

Based on the outstanding copper commodity swap contracts (Note 27(d)) as at December 31, 2023, a $1,000 per tonne increase (decrease) in the copper forward curve would result in a decrease (increase) to earnings before income tax of approximately $6 million.

In May 2023, the Company entered into zero-cost gold collars to reduce the risk associated with fluctuations of the price of gold and to manage cash flow variability during the construction period of Skouries. Under the gold collars, 16,667 ounces settle monthly during the period from June 2023 through December 2025 (Note 27(c)).

Based on the outstanding gold collars (Note 27(c)) as at December 31, 2023, a $200 per ounce increase (decrease) in the gold forward curve would result in a decrease (increase) to earnings before income tax of approximately $15 million ($19 million).

c.Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Current financial assets and financial liabilities are generally not exposed to interest rate risk because of their short-term nature. Borrowings under the Company's senior notes are at a fixed interest rate of 6.25%. Borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility, if drawn, are at variable rates of interest based on SOFR and expose the Company to interest rate risk. Borrowings under the Company's Term Facility include amounts at variable rates based on 6 month EURIBOR. To reduce interest rate risk, the Company has entered into an interest rate swaps covering 70% of the variable interest rate exposure related to the Term Facility (Note 27(e)).

Based on the outstanding interest rate swaps (Note 27(e)) as at December 31, 2023, a 50 basis point increase (decrease) in the 6 month EURIBOR forward curve would result in an increase (decrease) to earnings before income tax of approximately $7 million.

23. Financial risk management(continued)

(ii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, term deposits, derivative assets and accounts receivable.

The Company manages credit risk by entering into business arrangements with high credit-quality counterparties, limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of counterparties. In accordance with the Company's short-term investment policy, term deposits and short-term investments are principally held with high credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies. The Company invests its cash and cash equivalents in major financial institutions and in government issuances, according to the Company's short-term investment policy. The Company monitors the credit ratings of all financial institutions in which it holds cash and investments.

Turkish Lira deposits held at a Turkish banking institution equivalent to $35,000 matured in February 2023, reducing the Company's exposure to credit risk.

Payment for metal sales is normally in advance or within fifteen days of shipment depending on the buyer. While the historical level of customer defaults is negligible, which has reduced the credit risk associated with trade receivables at December 31, 2023, there is no guarantee that buyers, including under exclusive sales arrangements, will not default on their commitments, which may have an adverse impact on the Company's financial performance.

(iii)    Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. The Company manages liquidity by spreading the maturity dates of investments over time, managing its capital expenditures and operational cash flows, and by maintaining adequate lines of credit. Management uses a rigorous planning, budgeting and forecasting process to help determine the funds the Company will need to support ongoing operations and development plans.

The Company's equity commitment for the Skouries project is backstopped by a letter of credit issued under the Company's revolving credit facility. As at December 31, 2023, after giving effect to investments in the project to date and including proceeds from the EBRD investment, the amount outstanding under the letter of credit for Skouries was €126,211 ($139,463) and the Company's available balance on the revolving credit facility was $110,215. The letter of credit will continue to be reduced Euro for Euro as the Company invests further in the Skouries project.

Management continues to monitor the Company’s capabilities to meet ongoing debt and other commitments, including reviewing its operating costs and capital budget to reduce expenditures if required.

Contractual maturities relating to debt and other obligations are included in Note 24. All other financial liabilities are due within one year.

23.2 Capital risk management

Eldorado’s objective is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the Company's mining projects. Capital consists of all of the components of equity which includes share capital from common shares, contributed surplus, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), deficit and non-controlling interests.

Eldorado monitors capital on the basis of the debt to capital ratio and net debt to EBITDA. The debt to capital ratio is calculated as debt, including current and non-current debt, divided by capital plus debt. The net debt to EBITDA ratio is calculated as debt, including current and non-current debt, less cash, cash equivalents and term deposits, divided by earnings before interest costs, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

(1)Does not include interest on debt.

Debt obligations represent required repayments of principal for the senior notes.

Purchase obligations relate primarily to operating costs at mines and capital projects at Kişladağ and Skouries. Mineral properties refer to arrangements for the use of land that grant the Company the right to explore, develop, produce or otherwise use the mineral resources contained in that land.

As at December 31, 2023, Hellas Gold had entered into off-take agreements pursuant to which Hellas agreed to sell a total of 10,250 dry metric tonnes of zinc concentrate, 14,500 dry metric tonnes of lead/silver concentrate, and 349,000 dry metric tonnes of gold concentrate. As at December 31, 2023, Tüprag had entered into off-take agreements pursuant to which Tüprag agreed to sell a total of 96,000 dry metric tonnes of gold concentrate.

In April 2007, Hellas agreed to sell to Silver Wheaton (Caymans) Ltd., a subsidiary of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (“Wheaton Precious Metals”) all of the payable silver contained in lead concentrate produced within an area of approximately seven square kilometres around Stratoni. The sale was made in consideration of a prepayment to Hellas of $57,500 in cash, plus a fixed price per ounce of payable silver to be delivered based on the lesser of $3.83 and the prevailing market price per ounce, adjusted higher by 1% every year. The agreement was amended in October 2015, to provide for increases in the fixed price paid by Wheaton Precious Metals upon completion of certain expansion drilling milestones. 30,000 metres of expansion drilling was reached during the second quarter of 2020 and in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the fixed price has been adjusted by an additional $2.00 per ounce. Accordingly, the fixed price from April 1, 2022 is equal to $11.66 per ounce.

Based on current Turkish legislation, the Company pays annual royalties to the Government of Turkiye on revenue less certain costs associated with ore haulage, mineral processing and related depreciation. Royalties are calculated on the basis of a sliding scale according to the average London Metal Exchange gold price during the calendar year. Based on current Greek legislation, the Company pays royalties on revenue that are calculated on a sliding scale tied to international gold and base metal prices and the EUR:USD exchange rate.

25. Contingencies

Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal, tax, environmental and regulatory matters are outstanding from time to time. By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. While the outcomes of these matters are uncertain, based upon the information currently available, the Company does not believe that these matters in aggregate will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations. In the event that management’s estimate of the future resolution of these matters changes, the Company will recognize the effects of these changes in its consolidated financial statements in the appropriate period relative to when such changes occur. As at December 31, 2023, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not, in the opinion of management, materially affect Eldorado’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, no amounts have been accrued as at December 31, 2023.

26. Related party transactions

Key management includes directors (executive and non-executive), officers and senior management.

28. Financial instruments by category

Fair values are determined directly by reference to published price quotations in an active market, when available, or by using a valuation technique that uses inputs observed from relevant markets.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

•Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 – Inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, but do not qualify as Level 1 inputs (i.e., quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities).

•Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The following table provides the carrying value and fair value of financial instruments at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

	December 31, 2023						December 31, 2022

(1) Operations were suspended at Stratoni at the end of 2021 and the mine and plant were placed on care and maintenance during 2022.

(2) A decision was made in December 2022 to re-start the construction of Skouries, conditional upon the initial drawdown of the Term Facility (Note 16 (a)); Skouries is no longer considered to be on care and maintenance as at December 31, 2023.

32. Earnings (loss) earnings per share

The weighted average number of common shares for the purposes of diluted earnings (loss) per share reconciles to the weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share as follows:

	December 31, 2023	December 31, 2022
Weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share	194,448,367	183,445,861
Dilutive impact of share options	503,751	—
Dilutive impact of restricted share units and restricted share units with performance criteria	369,969	—
Dilutive impact of performance share units	6,419	—
Weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share	195,328,506	183,445,861

As at December 31, 2023, 1,873,502 options (2022 – 2,765,436) were excluded from the dilutive weighted-average number of common shares calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

As the year ended December 31, 2022 was in a net loss position, 533,971 share options, 264,835 RSU's and RSU's with performance criteria, and 35,232 PSU's were anti-dilutive.

33. Segment information

Identification of reportable segments

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief executive officer and the executive management (the chief operating decision makers or "CODM") in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The CODM consider the business from both a geographic and product perspective and assess the performance of the operating segments based on measures of profit and loss as well as assets and liabilities. These measures include earnings (loss) from mine operations, expenditures on exploration, property, plant and equipment and non-current assets, as well as total debt. As at December 31, 2023, Eldorado had five reportable segments based on the geographical location of mining and exploration and development activities.

Geographical segments

Geographically, the operating segments are identified by country and by operating mine. The Turkiye reporting segment includes the Kişladağ and the Efemçukuru mines and exploration activities in Turkiye. The Canada reporting segment includes Lamaque and exploration activities in Canada. The Greece reporting segment includes the Olympias mine, the Skouries and Perama Hill projects and exploration activities in Greece. The Greece segment also includes the Stratoni mine and mill, which transitioned to care and maintenance during 2022. The Romania reporting segment includes the Certej project and exploration activities in Romania, and is classified as a disposal group held for sale at December 31, 2023. Other reporting segment includes operations of Eldorado’s corporate offices.

Financial information about each of these operating segments is reported to the CODM on a monthly basis. The mines in each of the reporting segments share similar economic characteristics and have been aggregated accordingly.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

About Eldorado Gold

Eldorado Gold is a Canadian mid-tier gold and base metals producer with mining, development, and exploration operations in Turkiye, Canada and Greece. We operate four mines: Kisladag and Efemcukuru located in western Turkiye, the Lamaque Complex in Quebec ("Lamaque"), Canada, and Olympias located in northern Greece. Kisladag, Efemcukuru and Lamaque are gold mines, while Olympias is a polymetallic operation producing three concentrates bearing gold, lead-silver and zinc.

Complementing our producing portfolio is our advanced stage gold-copper development project, Skouries, in northern Greece. We have in place an amended investment agreement (the "Amended Investment Agreement") with the Hellenic Republic that provides a mutually beneficial and modernized legal and financial framework that will allow for investment in the Skouries project and the Olympias mine. In order to develop the Skouries project, we have secured a €680.4 million project financing facility as well as a strategic investment of C$81.5 million by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ("EBRD").

Other development projects in our portfolio include Perama Hill, a wholly-owned gold-silver project in Greece, and Certej, an 80.5% owned gold project in Romania1. We are actively working toward a sale of the Certej project. See additional discussion in the section - Development Projects of this MD&A.

We believe our operating mines and development projects provide excellent opportunities for reserve growth through near-mine exploration programs. We also conduct early-stage exploration programs with the goal of providing low-cost growth through discovery.

Our strategy is to focus on jurisdictions that offer the potential for long-term growth and access to high-quality assets. Fundamental to executing on this strategy is the strength of our in-country teams and stakeholder relationships. We have a highly skilled and dedicated workforce of over 4,700 people worldwide, with the majority of employees and management being nationals of the country of operation.

Through discovering and acquiring high-quality assets, safely developing and operating world-class mines, growing resources and reserves, responsibly managing impacts and building opportunities for local communities, we strive to deliver value to all our stakeholders.

Eldorado's common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: ELD) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: EGO).

1In October 2022, the Certej Project was reclassified to held-for-sale. See additional comments in the section - Development Projects.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Key Business Developments

Skouries Project Financing Facility ("Term Facility")

On April 5, 2023, we satisfied all the necessary precedent conditions and closed the €680.4 million project financing facility for the development of the Skouries project in Northern Greece. Drawdowns totaling €153.2 million ($166.7 million) were completed as at December 31, 2023. The Term Facility is expected to provide 80% of the expected future funding required to complete the Skouries project and includes €200 million of funds from the Greek Recovery and Resilience Facility (the "RRF"). The Term Facility also provides a €30 million revolving credit facility to fund reimbursable value added tax ("VAT") expenditures relating to the Skouries project. The project financing further includes, in addition to the Term Facility, a Contingent Overrun Facility for an additional 10% of capital costs, funded by the lenders and Hellas Gold Single Member S.A. ("Hellas") in the same proportion as the Term Facility.

The remaining 20% of expected future funding for the Skouries project is to be funded by the Company and is backstopped by a letter of credit under the Company's $250 million revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2023, after giving effect to investments in the project to date and including proceeds from the EBRD investment, the amount outstanding under the letter of credit for Skouries was €126.2 million and the Company's available balance on the revolving credit facility is $110.2 million. The letter of credit will be reduced Euro for Euro as the Company invests further in the Skouries project.

In accordance with the Term Facility, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Hellas entered into a secured hedging program in April 2023 that covers gold and copper swaps, an interest rate swap and U.S. dollar to Euro forward contracts.

See the additional discussion in the sections - Development Projects and Financial Condition and Liquidity of this MD&A.

European Bank for Reconstruction and Development Strategic Investment

On June 14, 2023, we completed a private placement with EBRD consisting of 6,269,231 common shares at a price of CDN $13.00 per common share for gross proceeds of CDN $81.5 million ($61.3 million). These proceeds will be invested in the Skouries project in Northern Greece, and have been credited against the Company's 20% equity funding commitment per the terms of the project financing facility that closed on April 5, 2023.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Bought Deal Financing

On June 7, 2023, we completed a bought deal prospectus offering of 10,400,000 common shares at a price of CDN $13.00 per common share for gross proceeds of CDN $135.2 million ($101.1 million). Proceeds from the offering are expected to be used to fund growth initiatives across Eldorado's portfolio, including some not currently contemplated within the Company's five-year plan, as well as for general corporate and working capital purposes. The growth initiatives may include but are not limited to: Perama Hill, where we expect to start community consultations later this year; the expansion of Olympias to 650 ktpa; bringing the Ormaque discovery into production; and exploration opportunities in Turkiye and Quebec.

Gold Collar Contracts

In May 2023, we entered into a series of zero-cost gold collar contracts in order to manage cash flow variability during the construction period of Skouries. Under the derivative contacts, 16,667 ounces settle monthly with a weighted average put strike price of $1,816 per ounce and a weighted average call strike price of $2,721 per ounce and will be financially settled during June 2023 through December 2025. The 2023 contracts matured without any financial settlement required.

Euro Forward Contracts

In August and October 2023, the Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to fix the U.S. Dollar to Euro exchange rate for a portion of the Company’s equity commitment for the Skouries project. From June 30, 2024 to May 31, 2025, €7.5 million will be delivered to the Company every month at a forward rate of EUR/USD 1.1035.

Sustainability

On May 31, 2023, we published our 2022 Sustainability Report, detailing our environmental, social and governance performance. The 2022 Sustainability Report is our 11th annual published report and has been produced in accordance with the requirements of the core Global Reporting Initiative, and serves as our Communication on Progress for the United Nations Global Compact in support of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Modification to the Kassandra Mines Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA")

On April 27, 2023, a modification to the Kassandra Mines EIA was approved by the Ministry of Environment and Energy, allowing the expansion of the Olympias processing facility to 650 ktpa and improvements to the Stratoni port as set forth in our Technical Report dated December 31, 2019 and prepared in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). These processing expansions are aligned with the development of the Flats Zone within the Olympias mine, which provides an underground production environment more amenable to higher mining rates.

Executive Leadership Changes

Effective January 2, 2024, Paul Ferneyhough was appointed as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, following the retirement of Philip Yee.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Review of Financial and Operating Performance

Health and Safety

The Company’s lost-time injury frequency rate per million person-hours worked ("LTIFR") was 0.42 in Q4 2023, which was consistent with the LTIFR of Q4 2022 and overall was 0.65 in 2023, a 45% improvement from the LTIFR of 1.19 in 2022. We continue to take proactive steps to improve workplace safety and to ensure a safe working environment for our employees and contractors.

Production, Sales and Revenue

In 2023, we produced 485,139 ounces of gold, an increase of 7% from 2022 production of 453,916 ounces.

•Kisladag produced 154,849 ounces during the year, an increase of 14% from 2022 production of 135,801 ounces. The increase was driven by the upgraded material handling systems, which provides increased stacking on the newly commissioned North Heap Leach Pad ("NHLP"), enabling higher irrigation rates to be applied for gold dissolution. The South Heap Leach Pad continued to work on inventory drawdown caused by the unusually high precipitation event during Q2.

•Lamaque produced 177,069 ounces during the year, an increase of 2% from 2022 production of 174,097 ounces. The increase was primarily due to increased tonnes mined and processed despite mining disruption caused by the forest fires in June that led to slower development.

•Efemcukuru produced 86,088 ounces during the year, a decrease of 2% from 2022 production of 87,685 ounces. The decrease is primarily a result of lower average gold grade.

•Olympias produced 67,133 ounces during the year, an increase of 19% from 2022 production of 56,333 ounces. The increase was driven by record high mill throughput achieved and productivity benefits of transformation initiatives that were competed during the year.

Total 2023 gold production was within the Company's tightened guidance range of 475,000 – 495,000 ounces. Total Q4 2023 gold production was 143,166 ounces, an increase of 11% from Q4 2022 production of 128,453 ounces and an increase of 18% from Q3 2023 production of 121,030 ounces. The increase in both period comparisons primarily reflects an increase in production at Kisladag as a result of increased efficiencies, and at Lamaque as mining efficiencies allowed for higher than average throughput.

Gold sales in 2023 totaled 483,978 ounces, an increase of 7% from 452,953 ounces in 2022. The higher sales volume in 2023 compared with the prior year primarily reflected an increase of 20,243 ounces sold at Kisladag due to an increase of tonnes placed on the heap leach pad in 2023 and utilization of the newly commissioned NHLP. There was also an increase of 10,402 ounces sold at Olympias due to higher tonnes mined, tonnes processed and average gold grade, and an increase of 3,086 ounces sold at Lamaque due to increased tonnes mined and processed. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of 2,706 ounces sold at Efemcukuru due largely to lower average gold grade. Gold sales were 144,827 ounces in Q4 2023, an increase of 9% from 132,462 ounces in Q4 2022, primarily due to increased production at Kisladag and Lamaque in the quarter.

The average realized gold price(2) was $1,944 per ounce sold in 2023, an increase from $1,787 per ounce sold in 2022, primarily driven by strong prices in Q3 and Q4 2023. The average realized gold price was $1,999 in Q4 2023 ($1,754 in Q4 2022).

Total revenue was $1,008.5 million in 2023, an increase of 16% from revenue of $872.0 million in 2022. The increase was due primarily to both higher sales volumes and average realized gold price. Total revenue was $306.9 million in Q4 2023, an increase of 25% from revenue of $246.2 million in Q4 2022, which increased for the same reasons.

Production Costs and Unit Cost Performance

Production costs of $478.9 million in 2023 increased from $459.6 million in 2022 and production costs of $137.6 million in Q4 2023 increased from $122.2 million in Q4 2022. Increases in both periods were the result of higher

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

tonnes processed, resulting in increased labour costs and use of key consumables across most sites. This was partially offset by decreases in unit costs of key consumables such as electricity in Turkiye and Greece, and fuel in Turkiye and Canada, as global cost pressures eased during the year. Additionally, transport costs at Olympias were lower as a result of improved shipment logistics.

Production costs include royalty expense, which increased to $51.8 million in 2023 from $40.6 million in 2022, and to $16.5 million in Q4 2023 from $10.2 million in Q4 2022, primarily reflecting higher average gold prices combined with higher sales volumes. In Turkiye, royalties are paid on revenue less certain costs associated with ore haulage, mineral processing and related depreciation and are calculated on the basis of a sliding scale according to the average London Metal Exchange gold price during the calendar year. In Greece, royalties are paid on revenue and calculated on a sliding scale tied to international gold and base metal prices and the EUR:USD exchange rate.

Cash operating costs(3) averaged $743 per ounce sold in 2023, a decrease from $788 per ounce sold in 2022. In Q4 2023, cash operating costs averaged $716 per ounce sold, a decrease from $741 per ounce sold in Q4 2022. The decrease in both periods was primarily due to higher production and slightly lower unit costs for key consumables, including energy and fuel.

AISC per ounce sold(3) decreased slightly to $1,220 in 2023 from $1,276 in 2022, and to $1,207 in Q4 2023 from $1,246 in Q4 2022. Decreases in both periods primarily reflect the decrease in cash operating costs per ounce sold, partially offset by higher royalties due to higher metal prices. The decrease in the year was also due to lower sustaining capital expenditures.

Other Expenses

Depreciation expense increased to $261.1 million in 2023 from $240.2 million in 2022 and to $71.7 million in Q4 2023 from $66.1 million in Q4 2022 primarily due to increased mining rates, which resulted in increased gold produced and sold at all sites except for Efemcukuru. A significant portion of property, plant and equipment depreciates on a unit-of-production basis over total estimated recoverable tonnes.

Mine standby costs decreased to $16.1 million in 2023 from $34.4 million in 2022 and were consistent in Q4 2023 compared to Q4 2022. Mine standby costs primarily related to Stratoni and have decreased following its transition to care and maintenance during the second half of 2022. Additionally, no mine standby costs were recorded in 2023 at Skouries following the restart of construction.

Foreign exchange gains increased to $16.0 million in 2023 from $9.7 million in 2022, and included gains of $0.5 million recorded in Q4 2023 and $2.3 million recorded in Q4 2022, respectively. Gains in 2023 were primarily due to the weakening of the Turkish Lira, which resulted in downward revaluation of liabilities denominated in local currencies, including royalties for Kisladag and Efemcukuru that are paid annually.

Finance costs decreased to $32.8 million in 2023 from $41.6 million in 2022, driven primarily by the capitalization of a portion of interest on the senior notes to the construction of Skouries, partially offset by higher accretion on our asset retirement obligations. Finance costs decreased to $5.8 million in Q4 2023 from $6.6 million in Q4 2022, with the capitalization of a portion of interest on the senior notes mostly offset by a gain on the redemption option derivative on the senior notes.

Income Tax

Income tax expense from continuing operations decreased to $57.6 million in 2023 from $61.2 million in 2022 and included a recovery of $46.0 million in Q4 2023 (Q4 2022 $23.5 million recovery).

Current tax expense increased to $85.8 million in 2023 from $69.7 million in 2022 and to $22.2 million in Q4 2023 from $10.4 million in Q4 2022. Current tax expense related primarily to operations in Turkiye of which $62.0 million and $12.3 million was recognized in 2023 and Q4 2023, respectively. The increase in 2023 reflected higher sales volumes combined with a tax rate increase in Turkiye, as noted below. These increases were partially offset by Turkish investment tax credits which resulted in current tax savings of $17.5 million in 2023 and $7.5 million in Q4 2023, as compared to current tax savings of $10.0 million in 2022 and $3.8 million in Q4 2022. Current tax expense in 2023 also included $6.9 million of withholding tax on earnings repatriated from Turkiye and $12.8 million of

current tax on foreign exchange gains in 2023 and $4.1 million in Q4 2023. Current tax expense included Quebec mining duties for Lamaque of $23.8 million in 2023 and $9.9 million in Q4 2023, an increase from $14.8 million in 2022 and $5.3 million in Q4 2022.

Deferred income tax recoveries were $28.2 million in 2023 and $68.2 million in Q4 2023 as compared to recoveries of $8.5 million in 2022 and $33.9 million in Q4 2022. The 2023 and Q4 2023 deferred tax recoveries include a $59.4 million deferred tax recovery resulting from a hyperinflationary adjustment to the local tax basis in Turkiye in Q4 2023. Deferred income tax in both 2023 and 2022 included recoveries from changes in temporary differences, including for property, plant and equipment. In 2023 these were partly offset by deferred tax expense due to the weakening of Turkish Lira. In Greece, the strengthening of the Euro in the quarter resulted in deferred tax recoveries. These currency movements resulted in deferred income tax expense of $29.3 million in 2023, including a recovery of $3.7 million in Q4 2023. In 2022, the weakening of both the Turkish Lira and the Euro resulted in deferred tax expense of $35.9 million, inclusive of an $18.3 million million recovery in Q4 2022. Deferred tax in 2023 also included a $22.6 million expense due to the Turkish corporate tax rate change noted below.

On July 15, 2023,Turkiye enacted an income tax rate increase from 20% to 25% for general income, from 19% to 24% for certain manufacturing activities (including mining) and from 19% to 20% for export income. The rate increases were applicable retroactively to January 1, 2023.

Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Shareholders

We reported net earnings attributable to shareholders from continuing operations of $106.2 million ($0.55 earnings per share) in 2023, compared to net loss of $49.2 million ($0.27 per share) in 2022 and net earnings of $91.8 million ($0.45 per share) in Q4 2023, compared to net earnings of $41.9 million ($0.23 earnings per share) in Q4 2022. Net earnings increased in 2023 primarily due to higher revenue, and lower mine standby costs, write-downs of assets, and income taxes. Net earnings in Q4 2023 reflected higher sales volumes and gold prices, and a higher income tax recovery, compared to Q4 2022.

Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations were $110.7 million ($0.57 per share) in 2023, compared to $10.1 million ($0.05 per share) in 2022. Adjusted net earnings in 2023 removes a $29.3 million loss on foreign exchange due to translation of deferred tax balances, $59.4 million gain on deferred income taxes due to the Turkiye hyperinflationary tax basis adjustment, $2.0 million gain on the non-cash revaluation of the derivative related to redemption options in our debt, $9.6 million unrealized loss on derivative instruments, and a $22.6 million deferred tax expense relating to the impact of tax rate changes in Turkiye. Adjusted net earnings were $49.3 million ($0.24 per share) in Q4 2023 after adjusting for a $3.7 million gain on foreign exchange due to translation of deferred tax balances, a $59.4 million gain on deferred income taxes due to the Turkiye hyperinflationary tax basis adjustment, a $4.0 million gain on the non-cash revaluation of the derivative related to redemption options in our debt, and a $24.6 million unrealized loss on derivative instruments.

Cash Generated from Operating Activities and Free Cash Flow(4)

Net cash generated from operating activities of continuing operations increased to $382.9 million in 2023 from $211.2 million in 2022, primarily as a result of the higher revenue and lower operating costs. See additional discussion in the section - Financial Condition and Liquidity of this MD&A.

Free cash flow(4) improved to negative $47.2 million in 2023 compared to negative $104.5 million in 2022, with the increase this year primarily due to the higher sales and higher average realized gold price as well as lower tax installments, partially offset by an increase in investing activities, particularly at Skouries. Free cash flow excluding Skouries4 was $112.6 million in 2023 and negative $69.4 million in 2022. This measure of free cash flow adds back cash-basis capital expenditure on the Skouries project and capitalized interest related to the Skouries project in the respective periods.

(4)Olympias by-product grades: Silver: 120-130 g/t; Zinc: 4.2-4.7%; Lead: 3.8-4.3%

We provided four-year production and operating guidance in February 2024, which outlined higher production over the next four years. Refer to our February 22, 2024 guidance press release for a summary of the key assumptions and related risks associated with the comprehensive 2024 guidance and four-year production, cost and capital outlook. Over the four-year period, Eldorado's gold production is expected to increase 45% driven by Skouries. Additionally, Skouries is expected to add meaningful copper production once in operation.

Gold production is expected to increase to between 505,000 and 555,000 ounces in 2024, a 9% increase from 2023 gold production (based on mid-point). The increase in gold production is primarily driven by higher expected production at Kisladag as a result of the upgraded materials handling systems and the recently commissioned NHLP. In addition, we expect an increase at Olympias following the underground infrastructure upgrades completed in mid-2023 and productivity improvements that ramped-up during 2023. Similar to prior years, quarter-to-quarter gold production in 2024 is expected to fluctuate during the year, with higher production expected in the second half reflecting winter conditions at Kisladag and ore grade variability across the portfolio. At Olympias, payable metal production is also expected to include 1.5 to 1.7 million ounces of silver production, 13 to 16 thousand tonnes of lead material and 12 to 15 thousand tonnes of zinc metal.

Total cash costs5 and all-in sustaining costs5 (“AISC”) are expected to be relatively stable compared to 2023, with average total cash costs in 2024 expected to be between $840 to $940 per ounce sold and an average AISC of $1,190 to $1,290 per ounce sold. The expected 2024 costs, relative to 2023 cost performance, are driven by lower unit costs for fuel and other key consumables, and slightly offset by higher labour costs in some areas.

Planned sustaining capital expenditures5 for operating sites of $135.0 million to $160.0 million in 2024 includes underground mine development, tailings facility construction, processing improvements, equipment overhauls and mobile equipment purchases. Growth capital investments5 of $122.0 million to $144.0 million at the producing mines in 2024 is expected to increase from 2023 levels as a result of planned projects at Kisladag that include the continuation of the waste stripping campaign, the expansion of the NHLP, and construction of the North ADR plant.

Other planned growth capital includes resource conversion drilling and mine development at Lamaque and Efemcukuru.

At Skouries, growth capital investments6 of $375 to $425 million is expected in 2024 and has increased compared to 2023 levels as the site is in its peak construction year. The focus for 2024 is on advancing the construction of the major earth works structures including the haul roads, Integrated Extractive Waste Management Facility (“IEWMF”) construction, low-grade stockpile, water management, process facilities, crusher and filter buildings. In addition work will focus on the underground development to support test stope mining in 2025. Mechanical, piping and electrical installations will also progress in all process and infrastructure areas.

(2)Recoverable ounces.

Kisladag produced 154,849 ounces of gold in 2023, a 14% increase from 135,801 ounces in 2022. Gold production of 46,291 ounces in the quarter increased 15% from 40,307 ounces in Q4 2022, benefiting from the newly commissioned NHLP, along with ongoing optimization of on-belt ore agglomeration. Recoverable ounces placed on the combined heap leach pads (North and South) increased from the prior year as a result of the efficient stacking enabled by upgrades of the higher capacity overland conveyors and the commissioning of the NHLP area. Production also benefited from average grade increasing in 2023 to 0.78 grams per tonne, from an average grade of 0.74 grams per tonne in 2022.

Revenue increased to $304.8 million in 2023 from $243.3 million in 2022 and increased to $92.9 million from $69.9 million in Q4 2022, reflecting a combination of higher gold sales and higher average realized prices in the current year and quarter.

Production costs increased to $122.8 million in 2023 from $120.1 million in 2022 primarily due to increased ore mined and processed and consumption of reagents, as well as higher royalties due to higher average gold prices, partially offset by decreases in unit costs of fuel and electricity as cost pressures in Europe eased in the year as compared to the prior year. Production costs during the quarter increased to $36.1 million from $32.2 million in Q4 2022 also as a result of higher gold production and ounces sold.

Depreciation expense increased to $79.9 million in 2023 from $72.6 million in 2022 in line with higher tonnes mined and processed, and higher sales during the year. Depreciation in the quarter was in line with Q4 2022 despite higher sales in the current period due to less stacking on the South Leap leach pad, which depreciates at a faster rate given the shorter remaining useful life in terms of the number of ounces that can be stacked on the pad.

Cash operating costs per ounce sold in 2023 decreased to $657 from $773 in 2022 and decreased to $623 in Q4 2023 from $709 in Q4 2022. Decreases in both periods were primarily due to higher gold production and sales, as well as lower unit costs of consumables.

AISC per ounce sold decreased to $900 in 2023 from $1,000 in 2022 primarily due to lower cash operating costs per ounce sold, partly offset by higher sustaining capital expenditure. In the quarter, AISC per ounce sold increased

16

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

to $909 from $884 in Q4 2022 primarily due to higher sustaining capital expenditure, partially offset by lower cash operating costs per ounce sold.

Sustaining capital expenditure of $16.0 million in 2023, including $5.6 million in Q4 2023, primarily related to equipment rebuilds, and processing and infrastructure improvements. Growth capital investment of $83.7 million in 2023, including $27.8 million in Q4 2023, primarily included waste stripping to support the mine life extension, construction of the first phase of the NHLP and related infrastructure, and building relocation due to pit expansion.

Lamaque produced 177,069 ounces of gold in 2023, a 2% increase from 174,097 ounces in 2022 as a result of slightly higher ore throughput in the year and slightly higher grade. This was despite the mining disruption caused by forest fires earlier in the year that led to reduced mining faces available for ore production in Q3. Gold production of 56,619 ounces in the quarter was higher compared to 51,349 ounces in Q4 2022 and reflected strong throughput that was achieved due to productivity improvements at the mine, which allowed the mill to perform at capacity. Average grade of 7.36 grams per tonne in the quarter was slightly lower compared to Q4 2022, while average grade of 6.76 grams per tonne in 2023 slightly exceeded 6.65 grams per tonne in 2022.

Revenue increased to $346.3 million in 2023 from $313.0 million in 2022 primarily reflecting a higher average realized gold price in the year. In the quarter, both a higher average realized gold price and higher sales were responsible for the increase in revenue to $114.9 million from $90.0 million in Q4 2022.

Production costs increased to $119.5 million in 2023 from $116.7 million in 2022, and $35.1 million in Q4 2023 from $29.2 million in Q4 2022, both primarily due to higher gold production and increased headcount to enable productivity, partially offset by slightly lower unit costs of key consumables, including fuel and cost savings from a weaker Canadian dollar as compared to the prior year. Cash operating costs per ounce sold was consistent between 2023 and 2022 but increased to $580 in Q4 2023 from $541 in Q4 2022 despite higher ounces sold primarily due to extra costs incurred in labour, contractors, and equipment rentals to increase productivity in the quarter.

AISC per ounce sold increased to $1,089 in 2023 from $1,036 in 2022 and to $977 in Q4 2023 from $925 in Q4 2022 with increases in both periods reflecting higher cash operating costs per ounce sold and higher sustaining capital expenditure.

Sustaining capital expenditures of $72.7 million in 2023, including $20.7 million in Q4 2023, primarily related to underground development, equipment rebuilds, and expansion of the tailings management facility. Growth capital investments totalled $23.3 million in 2023, including $8.1 million in Q4 2023, and is primarily related to construction of underground infrastructure.

Efemcukuru produced 86,088 payable ounces of gold in 2023, a 2% decrease from 87,685 payable ounces in 2022, reflecting lower grades and recoveries in the year, partially offset by higher throughput. Gold production of 22,374 payable ounces in the quarter was 5% higher than 21,362 payable ounces produced in Q4 2022, primarily as a result of record throughput rates in the fourth quarter, averaging 1,500 tpd combined with higher grades.

Revenue increased to $170.5 million in 2023 from $155.3 million in 2022 and to $46.7 million in Q4 2023 from $38.4 million in Q4 2022. Increases in both periods were driven primarily by higher average realized gold prices.

Production costs increased to $80.1 million in 2023 from $73.1 million in 2022 and increased to $21.4 million in Q4 2023 from $17.9 million in Q4 2022, primarily driven by rising costs of labour and increased royalties due to higher average realized gold prices. Operating cost increases and lower gold production in the year resulted in an increase in cash operating costs per ounce sold to $797 in 2023, from $701 in 2022. Cost increases despite higher gold produced in the quarter resulted in an increase in cash operating cost per ounce sold to $816 in Q4 2023 from $738 in Q4 2022. AISC per ounce sold increased to $1,154 in 2023 from $1,091 in 2022 and to $1,201 in Q4 2023 from $1,138 in Q4 2022, primarily reflecting higher cash operating costs per ounce sold.

Sustaining capital expenditure of $14.0 million in 2023, including $4.4 million in Q4 2023, related primarily to underground development and equipment rebuilds. Growth capital investment included both development drilling and resource conversion drilling at each of the Kokarpinar and Bati vein systems.

Olympias produced 67,133 ounces of gold in 2023, a 19% increase from 56,333 ounces in 2022, reflecting higher average gold grade and higher throughput in the year. Throughput in 2023 was 15% higher than in 2022 due to higher mining rates, a result of key transformation initiatives implemented throughout the year, enabling stronger mining productivity and record mill throughput. Achievements in 2023 included a new electrical substation resulting in increased ventilation capacity, commissioning of bulk emulsion blasting, ongoing training and equipment optimization. Gold production of 17,882 ounces in Q4 2023 increased from 15,435 in Q4 2022 as a result of 13% higher throughput and higher gold grades in the quarter. Lead and silver production increased as well compared to Q4 2022, primarily reflecting higher throughput.

Revenue increased to $186.8 million in 2023 from $159.9 million in 2022 and increased to $52.4 million in Q4 2023 from $47.9 million in Q4 2022 as a result of higher sales volumes and a higher average realized gold price. From October 1, 2021, revenue has been impacted by the 13% VAT import charge levied on customers importing

20

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Olympias gold concentrate into China. When levied, this import charge reduces revenue by a corresponding amount. Revenues in 2023 benefited from lower gold treatment and refining charges as we made more shipments to alternative markets where this 13% import VAT on gold concentrate was not imposed. Approximately 54% of shipments in 2023 were not subject to the 13% import VAT.

Production costs increased to $156.5 million in 2023 from $149.5 million in 2022 and to $44.9 million in Q4 2023 from $42.9 million in Q4 2022. Increases in both periods reflect higher production and volumes of concentrate sold, partially offset by decreases in unit costs of certain consumables, including electricity and fuel, and other cost savings as a result of recent transformation initiatives. Production costs also benefited from lower transport costs as a result of improved shipment logistics onsite.

Cash operating costs per ounce sold decreased to $1,133 in 2023 from $1,409 in 2022, primarily as a result of higher ounces sold, higher by-product credits, and less shipments to China incurring the 13% VAT import charge, which is included in cash operating costs. Similarly, cash operating costs per ounce sold decreased to $1,224 in Q4 2023 from $1,325 in Q4 2022 primarily due to higher ounces sold and by-product credits. AISC per ounce sold decreased to $1,688 in 2023 from $2,155 in 2022 and to $1,872 in Q4 2023 from $1,998 in Q4 2022 primarily due to the decrease in cash operating costs per ounce sold and lower sustaining capital.

Sustaining capital expenditure decreased to $19.0 million in 2023 from $30.3 million in 2022 and to $7.2 million in Q4 2023 from $10.5 million in Q4 2022. Spending in both periods primarily included underground development and underground infrastructure improvements. Growth capital investments in 2023 and 2022 primarily related to underground development.

Development Projects

Skouries – Greece

The Skouries project, part of the Kassandra Mines Complex, is located within the Halkidiki Peninsula of Northern Greece and is a high-grade gold-copper asset. In December 2021, we published the results of the Skouries Project Feasibility Study with a 20-year mine life and expected average annual production of 140,000 ounces of gold and 67 million pounds of copper. The project as detailed in the Feasibility Study is expected to provide an after-tax IRR of 19% and a NPV (5%) of $1.3 billion7 with capital costs to complete the project estimated at $845 million.

Capital Estimate and Schedule

After finalizing key contracts in 2023, the capital cost estimate remained in line with the December 2021 feasibility study estimate. More recent and pending contracts incorporate labor rates and labor hours established through a diligent tendering process that are higher than the feasibility study. This has resulted in a revised capital estimate of $920 million, an increase of 9% over the original estimate of $845 million.

The time invested in diligently negotiating the key project contracts has increased execution confidence with a modest effect on the production schedule. First production of the copper-gold concentrate is now expected in the third quarter of 2025 from prior guidance of mid-2025. As such, the 2025 gold production range has been lowered to between 50,000 to 60,000 ounces from prior guidance of 80,000 to 90,000 ounces. Copper production is expected to be between 15 to 20 million pounds in 2025. A steep ramp up curve is expected over that second half of 2025 and remains on track for commercial production at the end of 2025. We are assessing our plans with the goal of increasing our 2026 gold and copper production profile at Skouries.

Between the Skouries project finance facility and our balance sheet the project remains fully funded.

Capital spend towards the original estimate of $845 million totalled $52.5 million in Q4 2023, and $153.8 million in 2023.

As at December 31, 2023:

•Overall project progress was 38% complete and 70% complete when including the first phase of construction;

•Detailed engineering was 61% complete and procurement was 82% complete;

•Project execution and ramp-up continued for major earthworks including construction of haul roads to support construction of earthworks structures;

•Mobilized contractor and commenced work on the tailings filtration infrastructure earthworks and pilings;

•Progress advanced on the foundation construction of the primary crusher; and

•Completed the upgrade of the underground power supply from 400V to 690V and the ventilation upgrade.

As the project advances in 2024 the capital spend is expected to be between $375 and $425 million.

Upcoming milestones in 2024 include:

Procurement and Engineering

•Substantial completion of procurement and engineering

•Awarding the underground development and test stoping contract

•Completion of approximately 2,200 metres of underground development

Construction Progress

Work continues to ramp up on construction for the build of major earth works structures including the haul roads, IEWMF construction, low-grade stockpile, water management, process facilities, crusher and filter buildings. In addition, work will focus on the underground development to support test stope mining in 2025. Mechanical, piping and electrical installations will also progress in all process and infrastructure areas.

On the critical path is the filter plant building which continues to advance, with the piling work having commenced. In Q2 2024 it is expected that the filter building contract will be awarded which will include the building structure, assembly of equipment within the building, including air compressors, conveyors, filter presses and other ancillary equipment, in addition to the piping and electrical work. The filter press plates arrived on site in Q1 2024 with the frames for supporting the filter press plates fabricated and expected to ship in Q2 2024. Preassembly is expected to start Q2 2024.

Work for the mill/flotation building is in progress with commissioning work on overhead cranes, installation of construction lighting and scaffolding, and the commencement of structural steel work. Mechanical, piping and electrical work for the process plant are mobilizing with work commencing in Q1 2024.

By the end of 2024 we expect to have completed the IEWMF coffer dam and significantly advanced the IEWMF earthworks, water management facilities, process plant and filter plants.

The first four Company owned Cat 745 trucks have arrived on site with the remaining 15 scheduled for delivery through the end of Q2 2024. These trucks will be used once Skouries is in operation to build the lifts that will be required on the dry stack tailings facility. During construction of the civil works these trucks will be used as part of an integrated fleet with the earthwork's construction contractor for construction of the IEWMF facilities.

Underground Development

The upgrade of the underground power supply from 400V to 690V has been completed. The ventilation upgrade is also complete, and the new contact water pumping system will be fully operational in 2024.

The first phase of underground development continues to advance the West Decline and access to the test stopes with a local contractor. The second underground development contract proposals are in the final evaluation stage and awarding of the contract is planned for Q2 2024. This contract includes the test stope work as well as additional development and services work to support the development of the underground mine. We expect to complete approximately 2,200 metres of underground development by the end of 2024.

At December 31, 2023, engineering has been fully transitioned to Greece and was 61% complete with anticipated substantial completion in Q3 2024. Detailed engineering work continues to advance in all areas. The release of structural steel for fabrication is nearing completion and construction drawings are being issued to support the project schedule.

Procurement

At December 31, 2023, procurement was at 82% with substantial completion expected in Q2 2024. All long lead items have been procured and focus is now shifting to managing fabrication and deliveries.

Operational Readiness

Recruitment of qualified and experienced people began in 2023 and will continue through 2024 as we build workforce capability as Skouries advances towards first production. Under the direction of Louw Smith, Eldorado’s EVP, Development in Greece, we are progressing with establishing the Skouries operating team with approximately 40 personnel now on board. This includes 12 in leadership roles, 10 embedded in the construction projects teams of open pit mining, underground mining and dry stack tailings construction; and 9 in sustainability. Recruitment activities are on track with the operational workforce plan.

Workforce

In addition to the Operational Readiness team as of December 31, 2023, there were approximately 550 personnel on site which is expected to ramp up to 1,300 during 2024.

On April 5, 2023, we achieved financial close of the €680.4 million Term Facility for the development of the Skouries project and drawdowns totalling €153.2 million ($166.7 million) were completed as at December 31, 2023. The Term Facility is expected to provide 80% of the expected future funding required to complete the Skouries project and includes €200 million of funds from the RRF. The Term Facility also provides a €30 millionrevolving credit facility to fund reimbursable VAT expenditures relating to the Skouries project. The project financing further includes, in addition to the Term Facility, a Contingent Overrun Facility for an additional 10% of capital costs, funded by the lenders and Hellas in the same proportion as the Term Facility. The remaining 20% of expected future funding for the Skouries project will be funded by the Company.

The Company invested €31.2 million (approximately $34.0 million) from January 2022 through to the end of March 2023, on early works activities at Skouries. The Company further invested €56.5 million (approximately $61.3 million) from the EBRD funding received in June 2023, with this amount applied as a credit toward the Company’s equity commitment per the terms of the Term Facility. Drawdowns on the Term Facility are expected to fund the balance of Skouries project expenditures for the first half of 2024, reflecting investments by the Company to date in excess of the 80:20 funding ratio.

See the additional discussion in the section - Financial Condition and Liquidity of this MD&A.

Perama Hill – Greece

Perama Hill is an epithermal gold-silver deposit located in the Thrace region of northern Greece. If developed, the project will operate as a small open pit mine that uses a conventional carbon in leach circuit for gold recovery. Project optimization and studies are ongoing to prepare permitting documentation.

Certej Project – Romania

The Certej mining concession was extended in January 2020 for an additional five years. In October 2022, we entered into a share purchase agreement to sell the Certej project. While the share purchase agreement expired on March 24, 2023, the Company is committed to continue its plan to sell the disposal group within the next twelve months.

During 2022, we recorded impairment of $394.7 million ($374.7 million net of deferred tax) on the Certej project to recognize the mineral properties and capitalized evaluation expenditures at their estimated fair value. The fair value is based on the expected cash consideration of a sale, less estimated costs of disposal.

The project has been presented as a disposal group held for sale as at December 31, 2023 and as a discontinued operation for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Exploration and Evaluation

Exploration and evaluation expenditures are expensed when they relate to the initial search for, or the delineation of, mineral deposits, or the evaluation of the technical and economic feasibility of a project. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized once there is sufficient evidence to support the probability of generating positive economic returns.

Segment	2023 Target / Projects	Exploration Expenditure

Other		—	—	1.0	3.4
Total Capitalized		$1.7	$2.5	$14.7	$18.0

Exploration and evaluation expenditures in 2023 were primarily related to brownfields resource expansion programs at our operations in Canada, Turkiye and Greece, and early-stage greenfield projects and project generation activities in Turkiye and Eastern Canada.

In 2023, exploration and evaluation expense totalled $22.4 million relating primarily to early-stage projects in Eastern Canada and Turkiye, and included $5.7 million of expense in Q4 2023. In Eastern Canada, this included early-stage geophysical and geochemical surveys and mapping activities at the Kirkland Lake properties, fieldwork activities at the Lamaque, Bourlamaque, Bruell, and Perestroika/Uniake projects, and early-stage drilling at numerous targets within the Lamaque, Bourlamaque, and Montgolfier properties. Drilling totalled 5,820 metres and 48,396 metres in Q4 2023 and 2023, respectively. In Turkiye, expensed exploration programs focused on drilling at the Kisladag North, Yalintas and Ozan properties as well as several early-stage targets at Efemcukuru West Veins for a total of 10,963 metres and 45,196 metres in Q4 2023 and 2023, respectively.

Capitalized expenditures of $1.7 million and $14.7 million in Q4 2023 and 2023, respectively, related to resource conversion and resource expansion drilling. This includes $0.5 million and $5.1 million in Q4 2023 and 2023, respectively, of non-sustaining capital presented in growth capital(8) additions in Turkiye. This relates to resource expansion and resource conversion drilling targeting the Bati, Kokarpinar, and Kestanebeleni vein systems at Efemcukuru. Resource conversion drilling at Efemcukuru included 18,084 metres in 2023 (Q4 2023 - 4,275 metres), and resource expansion drilling totalled 4,406 metres in 2023 and no expansion drilling in Q4 2023.

In Canada, underground drilling at the Triangle mine in 2023 tested extensions of the C2 and C4 zones, and resource conversion drilling commenced on the C7 zone. Resource conversion drilling totalled 6,752 metres and 27,025 metres in Q4 2023 and 2023, respectively, while resource expansion drilling totalled 2,349 metres and 28,042 metres in Q4 2023 and 2023, respectively. At Ormaque, resource conversion drilling commenced in early Q3 from the new exploration drift, while surface drilling continued throughout the year testing eastern extensions of the deposit as well as exploring for new zones at depth. Resource conversion drilling at Ormaque included 7,939 metres and 40,640 metres in Q4 2023 and 2023, respectively, and resource expansion drilling totalled 12,168 metres in 2023, with no expansion drilling in Q4 2023.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Operating Activities

Net cash generated from operating activities of continuing operations increased to $382.9 million in 2023 from $211.2 million in 2022, primarily as a result of higher revenue, lower unit operating costs, lower income taxes paid, and lower mine standby costs. Taxes paid of $59.8 million in 2023 primarily related to operations in Turkiye as well as Quebec mining duties.

Net cash increase was partially offset by $28.3 million in 2023 due to changes in non-cash working capital. Movements included a $29.3 million increase in accounts receivable primarily due to timing of concentrate sales, a $34.6 million increase of accounts payable primarily due to construction activities at Skouries, and a $33.6 million increase in inventory primarily for consumables and parts.

Investing Activities

In 2023, we invested $401.9 million in capital expenditures on a cash basis, of which $121.8 million were sustaining capital expenditures at gold mines primarily related to underground development, equipment rebuilds, tailings management facility expansion, and processing improvements. $121.1 million was invested in growth capital investment including $53.1 million of waste stripping at Kisladag, $13.8 million for construction of the Kisladag North Heap Leach pad and a $5.0 million investment in eight higher-capacity conveyors at Kisladag.

Financing Activities

Project Financing Facility

On April 5, 2023, we achieved financial close of the €680.4 million Term Facility for the development of the Skouries project. Drawdowns totaling €153.2 million ($166.7 million) were completed as at December 31, 2023. The Term Facility is expected to provide 80% of the expected future funding required to complete the Skouries project and includes €200 million of funds from the RRF.

The Term Facility includes a €480.4 million commercial loan at a variable interest rate comprised of six-months EURIBOR plus a fixed margin, a €100.0 million initial RRF loan at a fixed interest rate of 3.04% for the term of the facility and a €100.0 million additional RRF loan at a fixed interest rate of 4.06% for the term of the facility.

The Term Facility also provides a €30 millionrevolving credit facility to fund reimbursable VAT expenditures relating to the Skouries project. The project financing further includes, in addition to the Term Facility, a Contingent Overrun Facility for an additional 10% of capital costs, funded by the lenders and Hellas in the same proportion as the Term Facility. The Term Facility is non-recourse to Eldorado Gold Corporation and the collateral securing the Term Facility includes the Skouries project and the Hellas operating assets.

In accordance with the Term Facility, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Hellas Gold, entered into a secured hedging program in April 2023 with key terms as follows.

•Gold and copper commodity swap contracts for settlement on July 7, 2026 based on the average applicable commodity price over the period of June 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026. The gold commodity swap contracts total 32,000 ounces at a forward price of $2,160 per ounce and will be financially settled. The copper commodity swap contracts total 6,160 tonnes of copper at a forward price of $8,525 per tonne and will be financially settled.

•Interest rate swap covering 70% of the variable interest rate exposure, under the six-months EURIBOR index. The interest rate swap has a fixed rate of 3.11% and matures on December 31, 2032. The interest payment frequency is every six months.

•Foreign exchange contracts to fix the U.S. Dollar to Euro exchange rate for a portion of the Term Facility repayments. From June 30, 2026 to December 31, 2029, €17.0 million will be delivered to the Company every six months at an average forward rate of EUR/USD 1.1473. From June 28, 2030 to December 30, 2032, €11.4 million will be delivered to the Company every six months at an average forward rate of EUR/USD 1.1704.

These derivatives were not designated as hedging instruments. As such, changes in the fair value of these derivatives has been recorded in other income and expense.

The remaining 20% of expected future funding required to complete the Skouries project will be funded by the Company. The Company's equity commitment for the project is backstopped by a letter of credit issued under the Company's $250 million revolving credit facility, reducing the availability of the revolving credit facility by a corresponding amount. As at December 31, 2023, the amount outstanding under the letter of credit was €126.2 million ($139.5 million). The letter of credit will be reduced Euro for Euro as the Company invests further in the Skouries project.

The Company invested €31.2 million (approximately $34.0 million) from January 2022 through to the end of March 2023, on early works activities at Skouries. The Company further invested €56.5 million (approximately $61.3 million) from the EBRD funding received in June 2023, with this amount applied as a credit toward the Company’s equity commitment per the terms of the Term Facility.

Bought Deal Financing

On June 7, 2023, we completed a bought deal prospectus offering of 10,400,000 common shares at a price of CDN $13.00 per common share for gross proceeds of CDN $135.2 million ($101.1 million). Proceeds from the offering are expected to be used to fund growth initiatives across Eldorado's portfolio, including some not currently contemplated within the Company's five-year plan, as well as for general corporate and working capital purposes.

Flow-Through Financing

On June 6, 2023, we completed a private placement of 390,900 common shares at a price of CDN $19.18 per share for proceeds of CDN $7.5 million; and a private placement of 290,000 common shares at a price of CDN $17.24 per share for proceeds of CDN $5.0 million The proceeds of CDN $7.5 million ($5.6 million) are being used to fund eligible exploration expenses. The proceeds of CDN $5.0 million ($3.7 million) are being used to fund the Triangle deposit ramp development. The shares qualify as flow-through shares for Canadian tax purposes and were issued at premiums of CDN $6.02 per share and CDN $4.08 per share, respectively, to the closing market price of the Company's common shares at the date of issue. The combined premium of CDN $3.5 million ($2.6 million) was recognized in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and will be recognized in other income as required expenditures are incurred and related tax benefits renounced.

Senior Notes

On August 26, 2021, we completed an offering of $500 million senior unsecured notes with a coupon rate of 6.25% due September 1, 2029 (the “senior notes”). The senior notes pay interest semi-annually on March 1 and September 1, which began on March 1, 2022. The senior notes are guaranteed by Eldorado Gold (Netherlands) B.V., SG Resources B.V., Tuprag Metal Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret AS, and Eldorado Gold (Quebec) Inc., all wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. We are in compliance with covenants related to the senior notes as at December 31, 2023.

For further information on our senior notes, refer to Note 16(b) of our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On October 15, 2021, we entered into a $250 million amended and restated fourth senior secured credit facility ("Fourth ARCA") with an option to increase the available credit by $100 million through an accordion feature, and with a maturity date of October 15, 2025. We are in compliance with covenants related to the Fourth ARCA as at December 31, 2023.

No amounts were drawn down under the revolving credit facility in Q4 2023 and, as at December 31, 2023, the balance is nil. At December 31, 2023, the availability of the revolving credit facility was reduced by €126.2 million ($139.5 million) for the then outstanding amount of the letter of credit backstopping the Company's equity commitment for the Skouries project. When taking into consideration a letter of credit of $0.3 million related to Eldorado's Canadian operations, the resulting availability under the credit facility is $110.2 million as at December 31, 2023. The letter of credit will be reduced Euro for Euro as the Company invests further in the Skouries project.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

At December 31, 2023, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and term deposits of $541.6 million compared to $314.7 million at December 31, 2022, primarily due to positive cash flow from mining operations combined with both equity and debt financing packages executed during 2023, partially offset by continued investment in growth capital.

In May 2023, the Company entered into zero-cost gold collars to reduce the risk associated with fluctuations of the price of gold and to manage cash flow variability during the construction period of Skouries. Under the gold collars, 16,667 ounces settle monthly during the period from June 2023 through December 2025. The June through December 2023 contracts matured without any financial settlement required.

In August 2023, the Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to fix the U.S. Dollar to Euro exchange rate for a portion of the Company’s equity commitment for the Skouries project. From June 30, 2024 to May 31, 2025, €5.0 million will be delivered to the Company every month at a forward rate of EUR/USD 1.1160.

In October 2023, the Company entered into additional foreign exchange forward contracts to fix the U.S. Dollar to Euro exchange rate. From June 2024 to May 2025, €2.5 million will be delivered to the Company every month at a forward rate of EUR/USD 1.0785.

We believe that our working capital(9) of $639.4 million as at December 31, 2023, together with future cash flows from operating activities and access to the available capacity on the revolving credit facility, if required, are sufficient to support our planned and foreseeable commitments for the next twelve months.

At December 31, 2023, the current availability under our credit facility is $110.2 million.

$3.83 and the prevailing market price per ounce, adjusted higher by 1% every year. The agreement was amended in October 2015, to provide for increases in the fixed price paid by Wheaton Precious Metals upon completion of certain expansion drilling milestones. 30,000 metres of expansion drilling was reached during the second quarter of 2020 and in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the fixed price has been adjusted by an additional $2.00 per ounce. Accordingly, the fixed price from April 1, 2022 is equal to $11.66 per ounce.

Based on current Turkish legislation, the Company pays annual royalties to the Government of Turkiye on revenue less certain costs associated with ore haulage, mineral processing and related depreciation. Royalties are calculated on the basis of a sliding scale according to the average London Metal Exchange gold price during the calendar year. Based on current Greek legislation, the Company pays royalties on revenue that are calculated on a sliding scale tied to international gold and base metal prices and the EUR:USD exchange rate.

(3)A concentrate weight-scale calibration correction at Olympias has resulted in an adjustment to ending inventory as at March 31, 2023 of 1,024 gold ounces. Gold production in Q1 2023 has been reduced by this amount, resulting in additional production costs of $1.3 million and additional depreciation expense of $0.7 million for Q1 2023.

(6)Q1 2023 through Q3 2023 have been adjusted for out-of-period current income tax adjustments related to impact of retroactive income tax rate increase in Turkiye enacted in Q3 2023.

(7)Q1-Q3 2023 revenues and production costs have been adjusted to reclassify freight-related concentrate sales pricing adjustments from selling expenses to revenues. The reclassification was $1.5 million for Q1 2023, $0.9 million for Q2 2023, and $0.4 million for Q3 2023, and has no impact on net income.

(8)Discontinued operations include the Romania segment in all periods presented. See note 6 of our consolidated financial statements.

Net earnings were negatively impacted from mid-2022 onwards by inflation and cost increases at most sites as a result of supply concerns caused by financial and trade sanctions against Russia and ongoing supply chain challenges. However, increases in costs denominated in local currency, being primarily labour costs, were partly offset by weakening of the Turkish Lira, Euro and Canadian dollar during 2022. Starting in 2023, electricity and fuel began to stabilize in Europe following decreasing concerns around the energy sector.

Revenue and net earnings in 2023 and Q1 through Q2 2022 benefited from higher average realized gold prices. In Q1 2022, revenue was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic with COVID-19 related absenteeism negatively impacting gold production at most sites. Net earnings in Q2 and Q3 2022 were also negatively impacted due to reduced stacking at Kisladag in previous quarters due to the commissioning of the high-pressure grinding rolls circuit ("HPGR") in Q4 2021 and production challenges in Q1 2022. Net earnings increased in Q4 2022 and Q1 2023 due to strong production and sales compared to previous quarters in 2022. The net loss in Q3 2023 was driven by higher tax expense due to the impact of the income tax rate increase in Turkiye, which was effective on July 15, 2023, with retroactive application to January 1, 2023.

Net earnings were negatively impacted in several quarters by non-cash impairments and write-downs of property, plant and equipment. In Q1 2022, a $19.8 million ($16.0 million net of deferred tax) write-down was recorded as a result of the commissioning of the HPGR at Kisladag. In Q4 2022, a $6.4 million ($5.2 million net of deferred tax) write-down was recorded relating to the existing heap leach pad and ADR plant at Kisladag.

Net earnings in 2022 were positively impacted by the receipt of an investment tax credit related to Kisladag heap leach improvements, reducing the corporate tax rate and resulting in current tax savings of $10.0 million in 2022.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Net loss from discontinued operations includes a $365.4 million ($345.4 million net of deferred tax) impairment recorded in Q1 2022 and a $29.3 million impairment recorded in Q3 2022, both relating to the Certej project.

Adjusted earnings10 removes significant items that do not reflect our underlying performance, and among other things in Q4 2023, adjusted the one-time gain on deferred tax due to hyperinflationary accounting of $59.4 million related to the step-up of tax basis amounts in Turkiye. Other adjustments included a loss on foreign exchange translation of deferred tax balances of $3.7 million in Q4 2023, $15.2 million in Q3 2023, $21.4 million in Q2 2023, all due to the high devaluation of the Turkish Lira in those periods. Other significant adjustments from prior quarters include the following:

•Q3 2023 - adjusted the one-time out-of-period current tax expense of $8.2 million related to the retroactive tax rate change in Turkiye as well as the one-time deferred tax expense of $22.6 million

•Q4 2022 - adjusted a gain of $18.3 million on foreign exchange translation of deferred tax balances recorded primarily as a result of the strengthening of the Euro

•Q2 2022 - adjusted a loss of $23.3 million on foreign exchange translation of deferred tax balances recorded as a result of the weakening of both the Euro and Lira, as well as adjusted a loss of $14.4 million related to the redemption option derivative on the senior notes

•Q1 2022 - adjusted a write-down expense of $16.0 million recorded as a result of the commissioning of the HPGR at Kisladag

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures and Ratios

We have included certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios in this MD&A, as discussed below. We believe that these measures, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. The non-IFRS financial measures and ratios are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These financial measures and ratios do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.

Non-IFRS financial measures are defined in National Instrument 52-112 – Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure (“NI 52-112”) as a financial measure disclosed that (a) depicts the historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow of an entity, (b) with respect to its composition, excludes an amount that is included in, or includes an amount that is excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of the entity, (c) is not disclosed in the financial statements of the entity, and (d) is not a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation. A non-IFRS ratio is defined by NI 52-112 as a financial measure disclosed that (a) is in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation, (b) has a non-IFRS financial measure as one or more of its components, and (c) is not disclosed in the financial statements.

The following table outlines the non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, their definitions, the most directly comparable IFRS measures and why we use these measures.

Non-IFRS financial measure or ratio	Definition	Most directly comparable IFRS measure	Why we use the measure and why it is useful to investors
Cash operating costs	We define cash operating costs following the recommendations of the Gold Institute Production Cost Standard. The Gold Institute, which ceased operations in 2002, was a non-regulatory body and represented a global group of producers of gold and gold products. The production cost standard developed by the Gold Institute remains the generally accepted standard of reporting cash operating costs of production by gold mining companies. Cash operating costs include direct operating costs (including mining, processing and administration), treatment, refining and transportation charges, but exclude royalty expenses, depreciation and amortization, share based payments expenses and reclamation costs. Revenue from sales of by-products including silver, lead and zinc reduce cash operating costs.	Production costs	We believe these measures assist investors and analysts in evaluating the Company's operating performance and our ability to generate cash flow.
Cash operating costs per ounce sold	This ratio is calculated by dividing cash operating costs by gold ounces sold in the period. As we will being issuing AISC/oz guidance by site in 2024, in addition to continuing total cash cost/oz guidance, we will cease reporting of cash operating cost/oz in Q1 2024.
Total cash costs	Total cash costs are the sum of cash operating costs and royalties.
Total cash costs per ounce sold	This ratio is calculated by dividing total cash costs by gold ounces sold in the period.
All-in sustaining costs (AISC)	We define AISC based on the definition set out by the World Gold Council, including the updated guidance note dated November 14, 2018. We define AISC as the sum of total cash costs (as defined above), sustaining capital expenditure relating to current operations (including capitalized stripping and underground mine development), sustaining leases (cash basis), sustaining exploration and evaluation cost related to current operations (including sustaining capitalized evaluation costs), reclamation cost accretion and amortization related to current gold operations and corporate and allocated general and administrative expenses. Corporate and allocated general and administrative expenses include general and administrative expenses, share-based payments and defined benefit pension plan expense. Corporate and allocated general and administrative expenses do not include non-cash depreciation. As this measure seeks to reflect the full cost of gold production from current operations, growth capital and reclamation cost accretion not related to operating gold mines are excluded. Certain other cash expenditures, including tax payments, financing charges (including capitalized interest), except for financing charges related to leasing arrangements, and costs related to business combinations, asset acquisitions and asset disposals are also excluded.	Production costs	We believe these measures assist investors, analysts and other stakeholders with understanding the full cost of producing and selling gold and in evaluating our operating performance and our ability to generate cash flow. In addition, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors uses AISC, together with other measures, in its Corporate Scorecard to set incentive compensation goals and assess performance.
AISC per ounce sold	This ratio is calculated by dividing AISC by gold ounces sold in the period.

34

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Non-IFRS financial measure or ratio	Definition	Most directly comparable IFRS measure	Why we use the measure and why it is useful to investors
Sustaining capital	Defined as capital required to maintain current operations at existing levels, including capitalized stripping and underground mine development. Sustaining capital excludes non-cash sustaining lease additions, unless otherwise noted, and does not include capitalized interest, expenditure related to capitalized evaluation, development projects, or other growth or sustaining capital not related to operating gold mines.	Additions to property, plant and equipment	We use sustaining capital to understand the ongoing capital cost required to maintain operations at current levels, and growth capital to understand the cost to develop new operations or related to major projects at existing operations where these projects will materially increase production from current levels.
Growth capital	Defined as capital expenditures for new operations, major growth projects or enhancement capital for significant infrastructure improvements at existing operations.
Average realized gold price per ounce sold	Defined as revenue from gold sales adding back treatment charges, refining charges, penalties and other costs that are deducted from proceeds from gold concentrate sales, divided by gold ounces sold in the period. The definition of average realized gold price per ounce sold changed in Q1 2022 to add back to revenue certain costs that are deducted from proceeds from gold concentrate sales. These include treatment charges, refining charges, penalties and other costs. In prior periods these costs reduced average realized gold price per ounce sold. As these costs are included in cash operating costs (defined above), this adjustment to average realized gold price per ounce sold will result in greater comparability between metrics. Average realized gold price per ounce sold for 2021 and earlier periods has been adjusted to conform with presentation in subsequent periods.	Revenue	We use this measure to better understand the price realized in each reporting period for gold sales.
Adjusted net earnings (loss)	Defined as net earnings or loss from continuing operations attributable to shareholders of the Company excluding the effects (net of tax) of significant items that do not reflect our underlying operating performance. These may include: impairments or reversals of impairments; write-downs of assets; losses or gains on foreign exchange translation of deferred tax balances; gains or losses on deferred tax due to changes in tax rates; gains or losses on embedded derivatives; costs associated with mine closures; costs associated with debt refinancing or redemptions; gains or losses on disposals of assets; and other non-recurring expenses or recoveries.	Net earnings (loss) from continuing operations attributable to shareholders of the Company	Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share are used by management to measure the underlying operating performance of the Company. We believe these measures assist analysts and investors in assessing our operating performance.
Adjusted net earnings (loss) per share	This ratio is calculated by dividing adjusted net earnings or loss from continuing operations by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA	EBITDA from continuing operations represents net earnings or loss for the period before income tax expense or recovery, depreciation and amortization, interest income and finance costs. Adjusted EBITDA removes the effects of items that do not reflect our underlying operating performance and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. These may include: share based payments expense; write-downs of assets; gains or losses on disposals of assets; impairments or reversals of impairments; costs associated with mine closures; and other non-cash or non-recurring expenses or recoveries.	Earnings or loss from continuing operations before income tax	We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are widely used by investors and analysts as useful indicators of our operating performance, our ability to invest in capital expenditures, our ability to incur and service debt and also as a valuation metric.
Free cash flow	Defined as net cash generated from (used in) operating activities of continuing operations, less net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations before increases or decreases in cash from the following items that are not considered representative of our ability to generate cash: term deposits, restricted cash, cash used for acquisitions or disposals of mineral properties, marketable securities and non-recurring asset sales.	Net cash generated from (used in) operating activities of continuing operations	We believe free cash flow is a useful indicator of our ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash. We believe free cash flow excluding Skouries is a useful indicator of our ability to generate free cash flow from operations, prior to investment in the Skouries project.
Free cash flow excluding Skouries	Defined as free cash flow (defined above) adding back cash-basis capital additions for the Skouries project and capitalized interest paid related to the Skouries project.
Working capital	Defined as current assets less current liabilities. Working capital does not include assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale.	Current assets, current liabilities	We believe that working capital is a useful indicator of our liquidity.
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital	Defined as net cash generated from or used in operating activities of continuing operations before changes in non-cash working capital. Excludes the period to period movements of accounts and other receivables, inventories and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.	Net cash generated from (used in) operating activities of continuing operations	We believe that cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital assists analysts, investors and other stakeholders in assessing our ability to generate cash from our operations before temporary working capital changes.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Managing Risk

Eldorado is involved in the exploration, discovery, acquisition, financing, development, production, reclamation and operation of mining properties. We face a number of risks and uncertainties which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Management monitors risk using a risk management review process. Management prepares a risk assessment report every quarter outlining the operational and financial risks. The Board reviews the report to evaluate and assess the risks that the Company is exposed to in various markets, and discusses the steps management takes to manage and mitigate them.

For more extensive discussion on risks and uncertainties refer to our AIF for the year ended December 31, 2022, and those to be set out in the Company's AIF to be filed for the year ended December 31, 2023, for additional information regarding these risks and other risks and uncertainties in respect of the Company's business and share price.

The risks described below are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Although we have done our best to identify the risks to our business, there is no assurance that we have captured every material or potentially material risk and the risks identified below may become more material to the Company in the future or could diminish in importance. Additional existing risks and uncertainties not presently identified by the Company, risks that we currently do not consider to be material, and risks arising in the future could cause actual events to differ materially from those described in our forward-looking information, which could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

We have set out the risks in the order of priority we believe is appropriate for Eldorado based on our assessment of, among other things, the likelihood and impact of such risks, and our expected capabilities to mitigate such risks. Accordingly, you should review this section in its entirety.

Foreign Operations

Many of our operations are located in foreign jurisdictions, and are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties vary from country to country and include, but are not limited to:

•earthquakes, wildfires, floods and other natural disasters;

•changing political and social conditions, geopolitical environment or governments;

•timely receipt of necessary permits and authorizations;

•renegotiation or nullification of existing rights, concessions, licences, permits and contracts;

•restrictions on foreign exchange, currency controls and repatriation of capital and profits;

•extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

•high rates of inflation;

•labour unrest, rising labour costs, and labour shortages;

•mobility restrictions for personnel and contractors;

•civil unrest or risk of civil war;

•changes in law or regulation (including in respect of mining regulations, taxation and royalties);

•changes in policies (including in respect of monetary policies and permitting);

•bribery, extortion and corruption;

•expropriation;

•reliability of judicial recourse;

•operation of the rule of law;

•availability of procedural rights and remedies;

•sanctions relating to the Russia-Ukraine war;

•guerrilla activities, insurrection and terrorism;

46

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

•activism;

•hostage taking;

•military repression; and

•trespass, illegal mining, theft and vandalism.

The occurrence of any of these risks in the countries in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

The mining and metals sector has been increasingly targeted by local governments for the purposes of raising revenue or for political reasons, as governments continue to struggle with deficits and concerns over the effects of depressed economies. Governments are continually assessing the fiscal terms of the mining regimes and agreements that apply to an entity looking to exploit resources in their countries and numerous countries have recently introduced changes to their respective mining regimes that reflect increased government control over, or participation in, the mining sector.

The possibility of future changes to the mining regimes in the countries in which we operate adds uncertainty that cannot be accurately predicted and may result in additional costs, delays and regulatory requirements. In addition, such changes could restrict our ability to contract with persons or conduct business in certain countries. There is no assurance that governments will not take our rights, impose conditions on our business, prohibit us from conducting our business or grant additional rights to state-owned enterprises, private domestic entities, special interest groups, indigenous peoples or residents in the countries in which we operate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

We expect to generate cash flow and profits at our foreign subsidiaries, and we may need to repatriate funds from those subsidiaries to service our indebtedness or fulfill our business plans. From time to time, governments in countries in which Eldorado operates may impose limitations on Eldorado's ability to repatriate funds. As such, we may not be able to repatriate funds from foreign jurisdictions in the future, or we may incur tax payments or other costs when doing so, as a result of a change in applicable law or tax requirements at local subsidiary levels or at the Eldorado Gold level.

We have one operating mine, two development projects and one mine on care and maintenance in Greece. Following the global financial crisis in 2008 and 2009, the Greek economy experienced a significant downturn. The subsequent economic crisis from 2011 to 2018 resulted in austerity measures, a severe recession of the Greek economy, capital controls from 2015 to 2019 and concerns about sovereign debt default and of Greece exiting the Eurozone. During this crisis, Greece experienced protracted political instability, a high unemployment rate, popular unrest in response to austerity measures and rounds of bail-out negotiations with various governmental and private parties. Since 2019, and to a large extent due to the economic measures adopted during the crisis, Greek economy has been stabilized, and, as of 2023, the Greek State has been rated investment grade. Greece had national elections in May and June of 2023. While there can never be assurances on future political or economic (circumstances, and the OECD and IMF still believe in further reforms), the current consensus is that the Greek economy has rebounded from the crisis and the outlook is broadly positive.

Following the 2019 Greek Parliamentary elections, the Company initiated talks with the newly established government. In February 2021, we entered into the Investment Agreement with the Hellenic Republic to govern the further development, construction and operation of the Skouries project and the Olympias and Stratoni/Mavres Petres mines and facilities, which provides a modernized legal and financial framework to allow for the advancement of our investment in these assets. In March 2021, the Amended Investment Agreement was ratified by the Greek parliament and published in the Greek Government Gazette, officially becoming law.

We currently hold all necessary permits for our operations in Greece and the development of Skouries mine, but in the past we have experienced significant delays in the timely receipt of necessary permits and authorizations from the Greek State in order to advance operations in Greece, and it would be possible we will experience delays again in the future, notwithstanding the Investment Agreement. In addition, there is no assurance that Greece will not adopt legal, regulatory or policy changes in the future which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Company’s share price.

47

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

We also have two producing mines that are located in Turkiye. Turkiye has historically experienced, and continues to experience, heightened levels of political and economic instability due to regional geopolitical instability. These conditions may be exacerbated by current global economic conditions or become exacerbated during electoral processes. In particular, there have been political challenges in and nearby to Turkiye, including civil unrest along the geographic borders with Syria, Iran and Iraq, terrorist acts, including bombings in major centres, and a refugee crisis. Turkiye also has a history of fractious governing coalitions comprised of many political parties and has experienced anti-government protests as well as unrest following investigations initiated in December 2013 into alleged government corruption, and an attempted coup in 2016. Turkiye is expected to have a federal election in March of 2024. Our operations have experienced no significant disruptions due to these periods of instability and continue to operate under normal business conditions. However, there can be no assurance that a future period of instability will not negatively affect our current and future operations in Turkiye. Such a period of instability may also have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

In 2023, certain changes were made to the tax legislation of Turkiye which resulted in a $59.4 million hyperinflationary adjustment to the local tax basis in Turkiye. As a consequence we experienced larger deferred income tax recoveries than in 2022, although these changes were partially offset by the weakening of the Turkish Lira in 2023. In addition, in July 2023, Turkiye enacted income tax rate increases which were retroactive to January 1, 2023. We cannot predict additional future changes to Turkish income tax legislation or their impact on our financial results.

Since late 2023, commercial shippers operating in the Red Sea have had to adjust to an environment of growing threats to the safety and security of their ships, cargo, and personnel (including rocket attacks, drone strikes, and attempts to seize or commandeer vessels, cargo and crew). These threats have continued into early 2024 and it is unclear if or when more normal conditions will resume in the region.

In response to current conditions, many in the commercial shipping industry are facing increased costs for security and insurance. Other commercial shippers have chosen to redirect their traffic around the region entirely, foregoing the Suez Canal and Red Sea for a longer trip around the southern coast of Africa. These changes in the shipping industry have impacted our inbound and outbound shipping activities for Greece and Turkiye. We may experience delays, additional increases in costs, or an inability to send or receive certain materials or equipment in a timely or cost efficient manner. Shipping costs have already increased dramatically since late 2023 and could reach unsustainable levels for reasons beyond our control. In addition, if in the future any of our inbound or outbound shipping activities were impacted by the current conditions in the Red Sea, our commercial insurance policies in place may not provide coverage due to customary exclusions in place.

Aside from the Company’s own operations, the Red Sea is critical to global energy producers and connects various transportation hubs. Ongoing disruptions in the Red Sea have the potential to increase global energy prices significantly. This is a major input for the Company, as well as its suppliers and service providers (who may choose to pass higher costs on to the Company).

While the Company is attempting to mitigate these effects, there can be no assurance that the situation will not deteriorate further in the near or long term, which may negatively affect the Company’s current and future operations in Greece and Turkiye (or, in the case of rising global energy prices, internationally), and may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

We operate in a range of environments and our employees, contractors and suppliers are at risk of injury, disease and natural disasters. On February 6, 2023, a significant earthquake struck the southeast of Turkiye resulting in severe loss of life, and damage to infrastructure in several towns and cities in the impact zone. Although our operations have experienced no significant disruptions due to this natural disaster, there is no guarantee that a similar natural disaster in the future, whether in Turkiye or in any other jurisdiction we operate in, will not have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. If our workforce is affected by high incidence of injury, disease or natural disasters, the facilities and treatments may not be available to the same standard that one would expect in more economically developed countries such as Canada and the United States, which could have an effect on the availability of sufficient personnel to run our operations. This could result in a period of downtime or we may be subject to an order to cease operations, which could have an adverse effect on

48

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price. See also “Climate Change”.

The safety and security of our employees and associated contractors is of prime importance to the Company. Various security problems may occur in any of the jurisdictions in which we operate. We are at risk of incursions or acts of terrorism by third parties that may result in the theft of or result in damage to our property. We endeavor to take appropriate actions to protect against such risks, which may affect our operations and incur further costs.

Development Risks at Skouries and Other Development Projects

Gold and other metal exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks and is often not productive; there is no assurance that we will be successful in our development efforts. Substantial expenditures are required to establish proven and probable mineral reserves, determine the optimal metallurgical process to extract the metals from the ore and to plan and build mining and processing facilities for new properties and to maintain such facilities at existing properties. Once we have found ore in sufficient quantities and grades to be considered economic for extraction, then metallurgical testing is required to determine whether the metals can be extracted economically. It can take several years of exploration and development before production is possible, and the economic feasibility of production can change during that time.

The capital expenditures and time required to develop new mines are considerable and changes in cost or construction schedules can significantly increase both the time and capital required to build the project, including in respect to the expected cost and construction schedule for the Skouries project. Although development is currently underway, project development schedules are dependent on obtaining the support of local communities, obtaining the governmental approvals necessary for the operation of a project, and if applicable, allowing for the necessary regulatory process to be completed with respect to any new archaeological findings on the site. New mines may face opposition from local communities, and the timeline to obtain necessary government approvals is often beyond our control. See also “Indebtedness”, “Liquidity and Financing Risk”, and“Community Relations and Social License”.

It is not unusual in the mining industry to experience unexpected problems during the start-up phase of a mine, resulting in delays and requiring more capital than anticipated. As a result of the substantial expenditures involved in development projects, developments are prone to material cost overruns. While we have taken steps to mitigate this, including securing the Term Facility, there is no assurance that the profitability or economic feasibility of a project will not be adversely affected by factors beyond our control. Delays can also occur when production initially commences. In the past, we have adjusted our estimates based on changes to our assumptions and actual results. There is no guarantee that such adjustments will alleviate the effects of such delays or problems. These unexpected occurrences may also impact our compliance with certain terms, conditions, and covenants set out in the Term Facility and commercial and other material agreements related to the development of Skouries. See also “Liquidity and Financing Risk”.

Mine development projects typically require a number of years and significant expenditures during the development phase before production is possible and there is no assurance that any of our development projects will become producing mines.

Development projects depend on successfully completing feasibility studies and environmental assessments, obtaining the necessary government permits and receiving adequate financing. Economic feasibility is based on several factors, including:

•estimated mineral reserves;

•anticipated metallurgical recoveries;

•environmental considerations and permitting;

•future prices of gold, copper, and other metals;

•anticipated capital and operating costs for the projects; and

49

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

•timely execution of development plan.

Development projects have no operating history to base estimated future production and cash operating costs on. With development projects in particular, estimates of proven and probable mineral reserves and cash operating costs are largely based on:

•interpreting the geologic data obtained from drill holes and other sampling techniques; and

•feasibility studies that derive estimated cash operating costs based on:

▪the expected tonnage and grades of ore to be mined and processed;

▪the configuration of the ore body;

▪expected recovery rates of gold from the ore;

▪estimated operating costs; and

▪anticipated climate conditions and other factors.

It is therefore possible that actual cash operating costs and economic returns will differ significantly from what we estimated for a project before starting production.

Mining of mineral bearing material requires removal of waste material prior to gaining access to and extracting the valuable material. Depending on the location of the ore, this may entail removing material above the ore in an open pit situation (pre-stripping), or developing tunnels underground to gain access to deeper material. Where possible, this material is then generally used elsewhere in the project site for construction of site infrastructure. As a project is developed, a plan is put forward to complete the pre-strip or required underground development so that mining of ore can commence in line with the overall schedule to feed ore to the process plant at the right time. The degree of pre-strip in an open pit is based on selected drilling, which may result in adjustments to the orebody model and a requirement for more or less pre-stripping to be completed. This may result in a deficit of material required to complete other earthworks around the project site, such as tailings facilities, or an increase in the pre-strip requirements prior to mining commencing. Similarly, with underground development, the mining method and optimized design is based on an amount of drilling that will be increased during normal operations. As work continues, there may be previously unknown ground conditions that are exposed, or other changes to mining parameters that can cause a change in the mine design or direction of the underground development. Either of these occurrences could result in more or less material than can be used for other site projects if so designed, and could also delay the start-up of continuous production. This may result in lower revenues while the project ramps up to normal operating rates.

In Greece, we have been undertaking a significant transformation process to improve the performance of the Kassandra mines. We anticipate the possibility of work stoppages or slowdowns of a significant duration as we move forward to achieve the necessary outcomes of the transformation process. As a result, production may be lower than initially anticipated during the course of this transformation. Any work interruptions involving our employees (including as a result of a slowdown, labour shortages, strike or lockout), contractors or operations, or any jointly owned facilities operated by another entity, present a significant risk to Eldorado and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price. See also “Labour-Employee/Union Relations/Greek Transformation” and “Skilled Workforce”.

Our production, capital and operating cost estimates for development projects are based on certain assumptions. We use these estimates to establish our mineral reserve estimates but our cost estimates are subject to significant uncertainty as described above. Although we have undertaken significant work to de-risk the Skouries project and will continue work to de-risk Skouries and our other development projects, actual results for our projects will likely differ from current estimates and assumptions, and these differences can be material. The experience we gain from actual mining or processing operations can also identify new or unexpected conditions that could reduce production below our current estimates, or increase our estimated capital or operating costs.If actual results fall below our current estimates, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Community Relations and Social License

Maintaining a positive relationship with the communities in which we operate is critical to continuing the successful operation of our existing projects and mines as well as the construction and development of existing and new projects and mines. As community support is a key component of a successful mining project or operation, Eldorado seeks to pursue ways to strategically integrate community support factors in our processes.

As a mining business, we may be expected to come under pressure in the jurisdictions in which we operate, or will operate in the future, to demonstrate that other stakeholders (including employees, communities surrounding operations and the countries in which we operate) benefit and will continue to benefit from our commercial activities, and/or that we operate in a manner that will mitigate any potential damage or disruption to the interests of those stakeholders. The evolving expectations related to human rights, indigenous rights, and environmental protections may also result in opposition to our current and future operations, the development of new projects and mines, and exploration activities. There is no assurance that we will be able to mitigate these risks, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Community relations are impacted by a number of factors, both within and outside of our control. Relations may be strained or social license lost by poor performance by the Company in areas such as health and safety, environmental impacts from the mine, increased traffic or noise, and other factors related to communications and interactions with various stakeholder groups. The Company expends significant financial and managerial resources to comply with various environmental, health and safety laws across various jurisdictions (including implementing safety protocols at sites, monitoring leading indicators, and emphasizing positive reinforcement). Despite these efforts, external factors such as press scrutiny or other distributed information about Eldorado specifically or extractive industries generally from media, governments, non-governmental organizations or interested individuals can also influence sentiment and perceptions toward the Company and its operations.

Surrounding communities may affect operations and projects through restriction of site access for equipment, supplies and personnel or through legal challenges. This could interfere with work on the Company's operations, and potentially pose a security threat to employees or equipment. Social license may also impact our permitting ability, Company reputation and our ability to build positive community relationships in exploration areas or around newly acquired properties. Such opposition may also take the form of legal or administrative proceedings or manifestations such as protests, roadblocks or other forms of public expression against our activities, and may have a negative impact on our local or global reputation and operations.

Erosion of social license or activities of third parties seeking to call into question social license may have the effect of slowing down the development of new projects and may increase the cost of constructing and operating these projects. Opposition by community and activist groups to our operations may require modification of, or preclude the operation or development of, our projects and mines or may require us to enter into agreements with such groups or local governments with respect to our projects and mines or exploration activities, in some cases, causing increased costs and significant delays to the advancement of our projects. Productivity may also be reduced due to restriction of access, requirements to respond to security threats or proceedings initiated or delays in permitting and there may also be extra costs associated with improving the relationship between Eldorado and the surrounding communities. We seek to mitigate these risks through our commitment to operating in a socially responsible manner; however, there is no guarantee that our efforts in this respect will mitigate these risks.

In addition, governments in many jurisdictions where we operate, including Québec, must consult with local stakeholders, including indigenous peoples, with respect to grants of mineral rights and the issuance or amendment of project authorizations. These requirements are subject to change from time to time. Eldorado supports consultation and engagement with local communities, and consultation and other rights of indigenous peoples which may require accommodations, including undertakings regarding financial compensation, employment, and other matters. This may affect our ability to acquire within a reasonable time frame effective mineral titles or environmental permits in these jurisdictions, including in some parts of Canada in which indigenous title is claimed, and may affect the timetable and costs of development of mineral properties in these jurisdictions. The risk of unforeseen claims or grievances by indigenous peoples also could affect existing operations as well as development projects and future acquisitions. These legal requirements and the risk of opposition by indigenous

51

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

peoples may increase our operating costs and affect our ability to expand or transfer existing operations or to develop new projects.

Liquidity and Financing Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company cannot meet its planned and foreseeable commitments, including operating and capital expenditure requirements. We may be exposed to liquidity risks if we cannot maintain our cash positions, cash flows or mineral asset base, or appropriate financing is not available on terms satisfactory to us. In addition, we may be unable to secure loans and other credit facilities and sources of financing required to advance and support our business plans, including our plans to finance the Skouries project in Greece. In the future, we may also be unable to maintain, renew or refinance our senior notes, Fourth ARCA including any letters of credit issued in connection with the Fourth ARCA, or the Term Facility on terms we believe are favorable or at all.

The Company mitigates liquidity risk through the implementation of its capital management policy by spreading the maturity dates of investments over time, managing its capital expenditures and operational cash flows, and by maintaining adequate lines of credit and seeking external sources of funding where appropriate. Management uses a rigorous planning, budgeting and forecasting process to help determine the funds the Company will need to support ongoing operations and development plans. We have historically minimized financing risks by diversifying our funding sources, which include credit facilities, issuance of notes, issuance of flow-through shares, at-the-market equity programs and cash flow from operations. In addition, we believe that Eldorado Gold has the ability to access the public debt and equity markets given our asset base and current credit ratings; however, such market access may become restricted, and, if we are unable to access capital when required, it may have a material adverse effect on us.

Any decrease in production, or change in timing of production or the prices we realize for our gold, copper, or other metals, will directly affect the amount and timing of our cash flow from operations. A production shortfall or any of these other factors would change the timing of our projected cash flows and our ability to use the cash to fund capital expenditures, including spending for our projects. Failure to achieve estimates in production or costs could have an adverse impact on our future cash flow, business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Management believes that the working capital at December 31, 2023, together with future cash flows from operations and access to the remaining undrawn revolving credit facility, in connection with the Fourth ARCA, the following issuance of letters of credit issued in support of the Term Facility, if required, are sufficient to support the Company's existing and foreseeable commitments for the next twelve months. However, if there are any material changes in the Company's assets or operations, including if actual results or capital requirements are different than expected, or financing, if required, is not available to the Company on terms satisfactory to meet these material changes, then this may adversely affect the ability of the Company to meet its financial obligations and operational and development plans. Unexpected economic and other crises have the potential to heighten liquidity risk, as Eldorado may be required to seek liquidity in a market beset by a sudden increase in the demand for liquidity and a simultaneous drop in supply.

Climate Change

We recognize that climate change is a global issue that has the potential to impact our operations, stakeholders and the communities in which we operate, which may result in physical risks and transition-related regulatory change risk. The continuing rise in global average temperatures has created varying changes to regional climates across the globe, resulting in risks to equipment and personnel. We face the possibility of increased costs to try to mitigate the negative effects of climate change. Governments at all levels are moving towards enacting legislation to address climate change by regulating carbon emissions and energy efficiency, among other things. Where legislation has already been enacted, regulation regarding emission levels and energy efficiency are becoming more stringent. The mining industry as a significant emitter of greenhouse gas emissions is particularly exposed to these regulations. As a proactive measure, we are targeting a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 2020 emissions on a 'business as usual basis' by 2030 for currently operating mines, but our ability to effectively meet our target is subject to matters outside of our control, including being partially reliant on the decarbonization of the electrical grid in Greece. Furthermore, stakeholders, including shareholders, may increase demands for emissions reductions and

52

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

call upon us or mining companies in general to better manage their consumption of climate-relevant resources (hydrocarbons, water, etc.). Costs associated with meeting these requirements may be subject to some offset by increased energy efficiency and technological innovation; however, there is no assurance that compliance with such legislation and/or stakeholder demands will not have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

With respect to physical risks of climate change, the effects may include changing weather patterns, rising sea levels and increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, hurricanes, heat waves, tornadoes and wildfires, which have the potential to disrupt our operations and the transport routes we use. While all of our operations are exposed to physical risks from climate change, the anticipated effects are highly location specific. We have strived to identify such material risks over a short- to medium-timeframe (until 2030) using our enterprise risk management framework for each of our material properties to attempt to mitigate such risks. In Greece, increases in storm intensity, changes in rainfall patterns and amounts, increases in temperature, fires, water stress and drought are expected to be potential hazards for the Kassandra mines (Olympias, Skouries and Stratoni) while pluvial flooding (flash flooding) is identified as an expected primary physical risk for Olympias and Stratoni presently. In Turkiye, heavy rains, flooding, drought, wind events and wildfires are expected to be potential hazards. At Kisladag, the risks are expected to be related to severe precipitation events or precipitation induced landslides, and their impact on water levels and site infrastructure. In 2023, heavy rains resulted in unanticipated impacts on heap leaching operations at Kisladag. The increased precipitation selectively mobilized fine particles which created variability in permeability and in turn lead to an increase in metal inventory in the leach facility. The increased precipitation percolated through the heap and was captured in the solution ponds as anticipated. The additional water diluted solution tenor, which will be reprocessed and consumed as part of normal operations. At Efemcukuru, flash flooding caused by severe precipitation events and wildfires are identified as expected risks. Lastly, at Lamaque, increased ice storms or black ice conditions which may impact exterior equipment and infrastructure, including electrical infrastructure, along with high wind events and warming winters, are identified as expected risks. In light of several wildfires that occurred at Lamaque in 2023, we expect that wildfires may continue to be a potential hazard in the area going forward. See also “Foreign Operations”.

Such physical risks or events can temporarily slow or halt operations due to physical damage to assets, reduced worker productivity for safety protocols on site related to extreme temperatures or lightening events, worker aviation and bus transport to or from the site, and local or global supply route disruptions that may limit transport of essential materials, chemicals and supplies. Where appropriate, our facilities have developed emergency plans for managing extreme weather conditions; however, extended disruptions could result in interruption to production and deliveries to buyers which may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price. Our facilities depend on regular and steady supplies of consumables (water, diesel fuel, chemical reagents, etc.) to operate efficiently. Our operations also rely on the availability of energy from public power grids, which may be put under stress due to extremes in temperatures, or face service interruptions due to more extreme weather and climate events. Changing climate patterns may also affect the availability of water. If the effects of climate change cause prolonged disruption to the delivery of essential commodities or our product, or otherwise effect the availability of essential commodities, or affect the prices of these commodities, then our production efficiency may be reduced which may have adverse effects on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

With respect to transition-related regulatory changes, the effects may include the financial impact of carbon pricing regulations if and when Eldorado's operating sites are affected by such regulations, managing fuel and electricity costs and incentives for adopting low-carbon technologies, insurance premiums associated with weather events and emissions intensities, access to capital for advancing and funding low carbon mining operations and projects, accessing sustainability-linked capital and managing regulatory compliance and corporate reputation related to evolving governmental and societal expectations. Such effects may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

53

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Inflation Risk

General inflationary pressures may affect our labour, commodity and other input costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and the capital expenditures required for the development and operation of Eldorado's projects. Specifically, labour costs at Kisladag and Efemcukuru increased in line with commitments under our collective bargaining agreement. We recognize that a need to support our workforce as they face rising costs of food and electricity may impact collective bargaining agreements and labour costs in the future. Labour costs are denominated in local currency and, as the weakening of the Turkish Lira against the U.S. dollar has slowed in recent months, cost increases are not being offset by currency movements at present. We continue to monitor the impacts of cost inflation on our operations. Certain emerging markets in which we operate, or may in the future operate, have experienced fluctuating rates of inflation. For example, Turkiye's annual consumer inflation rate year-on-year rose to 64.77% in December 2023, and to 64.86% in January 2024. There can be no assurance that any governmental action will be taken to control inflationary or deflationary cycles, that any governmental action taken will be effective, or whether any governmental action may contribute to economic uncertainty. Governmental action to address inflation or deflation may also affect currency values. Accordingly, inflation and any governmental response thereto may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Environmental

Although we monitor our sites for potential environmental hazards, there is no assurance that we have detected, or can detect all possible risks to the environment arising from our business and operations. We expend significant resources to comply with environmental laws, regulations and permitting requirements, and we expect to continue to do so in the future. The failure to comply with applicable environmental laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in injunctions, damages, suspension or revocation of permits and imposition of penalties, as well as a loss event in excess of insurance coverage and reputational damage. There is no assurance that:

•we have been or will be at all times in complete compliance with such laws, regulations and permitting requirements, or with any new or amended laws, regulations and permitting requirements that may be imposed from time to time;

•our compliance will not be challenged; or

•the costs of compliance will be economic and will not materially or adversely affect our future cash flow, results of operations and financial condition.

We may be subject to proceedings (and our employees subject to criminal charges in certain jurisdictions) in respect of alleged failures to comply with increasingly strict environmental laws, regulations or permitting requirements or of posing a threat to or of having caused hazards or damage to the environment or to persons or property. While any such proceedings are in process, we could suffer delays or impediments to or suspension of development and construction of our projects and operations and, even if we are ultimately successful, we may not be compensated for the losses resulting from any such proceedings or delays.

There may be existing environmental hazards, contamination or damage at our mines or projects that we are unaware of. We may also be held responsible for addressing environmental hazards, contamination or damage caused by current or former activities at our mines or projects or exposure to hazardous substances, regardless of whether or not hazard, damage, contamination or exposure was caused by our activities or by previous owners or operators of the property, past or present owners of adjacent properties or by natural conditions and whether or not such hazard, damage, contamination or exposure was unknown or undetectable.

Any finding of liability in such proceedings could result in additional substantial costs, delays in the exploration, development and operation of our properties and other penalties and liabilities related to associated losses, including, but not limited to:

•monetary penalties (including fines);

•restrictions on or suspension of our activities;

•loss of our rights, permits and property, including loss of our ability to operate in that country or generally;

54

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

•completion of extensive remedial cleanup or paying for government or third-party remedial cleanup;

•premature reclamation of our operating sites; and

•seizure of funds or forfeiture of bonds.

The costs of complying with any orders made or any cleanup required and related liabilities from such proceedings or events may be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

We are not able to determine the specific impact that future changes in environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and industry standards may have on our operations and activities, and our resulting financial position; however, we anticipate that capital expenditures and operating expenses will increase in the future as a result of the implementation of new and increasingly stringent environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and industry standards. For example, emissions standards for carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide are becoming increasingly stringent, as are laws relating to the use and production of regulated chemical substances and the consumption of water by industrial activities. Further changes in environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and industry standards, new information on existing environmental, health and safety conditions or other events, including legal proceedings based upon such conditions, or an inability to obtain necessary permits, could require increased financial reserves or compliance expenditures, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on Eldorado. Changes in environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and industry standards could also have a material adverse effect on product demand, product quality and methods of production, processing and distribution. In the event that any of our products were demonstrated to have negative health effects, we could be exposed to workers' compensation and product liability claims, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price. See also “Waste Disposal”.

On May 27, 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China issued YS/T 3004-2021 – Gold Industry Standard of People's Republic of China (the "Industry Standard") which was implemented on October 1, 2021. When imported in China, gold concentrates that comply with the Industry Standard are cleared under tariff number HS 2616 9000.01 and are exempt from import charges, whereas all other gold concentrates are declared under tariff number HS 2616 9000.09 and a VAT charge of 13% is imposed. Olympias gold concentrates do not fall within the scope of the Industry Standard due to the level of arsenic contained therein and therefore have been declared under tariff number HS 2616 9000.09 since October 1, 2021 upon importation from China as subject to a 13% VAT import charge. Although we are exploring other markets and addressing this change in our commercial agreements on a bilateral basis to minimize the effect, approximately 50% of Olympias sales are expected to be subject to the 13% VAT charge going forward and there can be no assurance that the effects of the Industry Standard will not have a material adverse effect on Eldorado’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Production and Processing

Estimates of total future production and costs for our mining operations are based on our life-of-mine plans. These estimates can change, or we might not achieve them, which could have a material adverse effect on any or all of our future cash flow, business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Our plans are based on, among other things, our mining experience, reserve estimates, assumptions about ground conditions and physical characteristics of ores (such as hardness and the presence or absence of certain metallurgical characteristics, including the presence of materials that may adversely affect the ability to process, export and sell our products) and estimated rates and costs of production. Our actual production and costs may be significantly different from our estimates for a variety of reasons, including the risks and hazards discussed elsewhere as well as unfavorable operating conditions or external events impacting operations, including:

•actual ore mined varying from estimates in grade, tonnage and mineralogical and other characteristics;

•industrial accidents, environmental incidents and natural phenomena, including discharge of metals, concentrates, pollutants or hazardous materials;

•seepage from tailings or other storage facilities or ponds;

55

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

•failure of mining pit slopes, waste rock storage facility and tailings impoundment walls, other water storage structures and heap leach structures;

•surface or underground fires, floods, landslides or ground subsidence;

•changes in power supply and costs and potential power shortages;

•imposition of a moratorium on our operations;

•impact of the disposition of mineral assets;

•shortages and timing delays, of principal supplies and equipment needed for operation, including explosives, fuels, chemical reagents, water, equipment parts and lubricants;

•failure of unproven or evolving technologies or loss of information integrity or data;

•unexpected geological, geochemical and water (ground and surface) conditions;

•variable metallurgical conditions and metal recovery;

•insufficient capacity for disposal of waste materials from our operations;

•unanticipated changes in inventory levels at heap-leach operations;

•fall-of-ground accidents in underground operations;

•seismic activity;

•renewal of required permits and licences;

•litigation;

•shipping interruptions or delays;

•management of the mining process, including revisions to mine plans;

•unplanned maintenance and reliability;

•unexpected work stoppages or labour costs, shortages or strikes;

•security incidents;

•general inflationary pressures;

•currency exchange rates;

•the presence of valuable by-products such as copper (which can be crucial in offsetting the costs of gold production); and

•changes in law, regulation or policy.

The occurrence of one or more of these events in connection with our exploration activities, development and production and closure of mining operations may result in the death of, or personal injury to, our employees, other personnel or third parties, the loss of mining equipment, damage to or destruction of mineral properties, production facilities or property belonging to us or others, monetary losses, environmental damage and potential legal liabilities. In addition, the occurrence of one or more of the events listed above may result in a less than optimal operation and lower throughput or lower recovery, as well as interruptions, deferral or unanticipated fluctuations in production. This could cause a mineral deposit to become unprofitable, even if it was mined profitably in the past. Although we review and assess the risks related to extraction and seek to put appropriate mitigating measures in place, there is no assurance that we have foreseen and/or accounted for every possible factor that might impact operations, production and processing. The occurrence of one or more of these events could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

See also “Environmental”, “Waste Disposal”, and “Geotechnical Considerations”.

56

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

With respect to changes in power supply and costs and potential power shortages, our operations in Turkiye and Greece have been experiencing recent energy supply issues affecting the price and supply of gas, oil and electricity used in our operations, which has caused increased energy prices and decreased energy supply. A sustained increase in energy prices, or a sustained decrease in energy supply, could have a material adverse effect on Eldorado’s business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

A number of factors could affect our ability to process ore in the tonnages we have budgeted, the quantities of the metals or deleterious materials that we recover and our ability to efficiently handle material in the volumes budgeted, including, but not limited to the presence of oversize material at the crushing stage; material showing breakage characteristics different to those planned; and material with grades outside of planned grade range, among others.

Our operations at Kisladag involve the heap leaching process. The heap leaching process, while not as capital intensive as the more conventional milling process, involves uncertainties associated with the chemical and physical processes included in leaching, which can impact ultimate recoveries or leach cycle times required to achieve the ultimate recovery. While recent circuit additions of the high pressure grinding rolls and agglomeration are expected to support a higher circuit recovery, there is no assurance that this circuit will continue to perform in accordance with our expectations. See also “Climate Change”.

Some of our processing operations rely on the use of sodium cyanide to extract gold and silver from ore. As a result of rising energy prices and other factors, there has been an increase in sodium cyanide prices and, further, large sodium cyanide suppliers have substantially lowered or ceased production temporarily, particularly in Europe, causing a supply shortage for sodium cyanide. A sustained increase in sodium cyanide prices, or a sustained supply shortage thereof, could have a material adverse effect on Eldorado’s business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

The occurrence of any of the above could affect our ability to treat the number of tonnes planned, recover valuable materials, remove deleterious materials and process ore, concentrate and tailings as planned. This may result in lower throughput, lower recoveries, lower product qualities, more downtime or some combination of all four. While minor issues of this nature are part of normal operations, more issues may arise than anticipated, which may have an adverse effect on our future cash flow, results of operations and financial condition.

Waste Disposal

The water collection, treatment and disposal operations at the Company's mines are subject to substantial regulation and involve significant environmental risks. The extraction process for gold and metals can produce tailings. Tailings are the process waste generated once grinding and extraction of gold or other metals from the ore is completed in the milling process, which are stored in engineered facilities designed, constructed, operated and closed in conformance with local requirements and best practices. Tailings may be filtered and dried for placement in a surface facility or mixed with cement (and potentially other waste material) and used underground as structural fill. A number of factors can affect our ability to successfully dispose of waste material in the form that is optimal for our operations, including, but not limited to:

•access to suitable locations due to permitting, operational or other restrictions;

•requirements to encapsulate acid-generating or other hazardarous material;

•milled material being ground too fine and requiring further treatment; and

•sufficient infrastructure required to place material underground in the right locations.

If issues with any of the above items occur, the normal discharge or placement process may be affected, requiring us to alter existing plans. While minor issues of this nature are part of normal operations, more issues may arise than anticipated, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

The Company operates its tailings facilities to Total Sustainable Mining guidelines and aligns with the Canadian Dam Association standards. The Company operates active dry stack tailings facilities at the Efemcukuru operation

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

in Turkiye, designated as the Efemcukuru Tailings Management Facility ("TMF") and at the Olympias operation in Greece, designated as the Kokkinolakkas TMF.

Lamaque contains three slurried tailings facilities. Tailings are currently being deposited at the tailings facility located adjacent to the Sigma Mill, designated as the Sigma Tailings Management Facility. A second TMF is located at the Aurbel site, designated as the Aurbel TMF. The third tailings facility is located within the operational area of Lamaque, designated as the Lamaque TMF. No tailings are currently being deposited to the Aurbel TMF or Lamaque TMF.

In 2021, Eldorado established an independent tailings review board to provide technical guidance on design and operational practices at its tailings facilities. Independent reviews of all tailings facilities are completed on a regular basis.

Although the Company has established the independent tailings review board and conducts extensive maintenance and monitoring, engages external consultants and incurs significant costs to maintain the Company's operations, equipment and infrastructure, including tailings management facilities (including, without limitation, those tailings facilities, both active and inactive, associated with Eldorado's operations in Turkiye, Greece and Quebec), unanticipated failures or damage, insufficient equipment or infrastructure, as well as changes to laws and regulations may occur that could cause injuries, production loss, environmental pollution, a loss event in excess of insurance coverage, reputational damage or other materially adverse effects on the Company's operations and financial condition resulting in significant monetary losses, restrictions on operations and/or legal liability.

A major spill, failure or material flow from the tailings facilities (including through occurrences beyond the Company's control such as extreme weather, seismic event, or other incident) may cause damage to the environment and the surrounding communities. Poor design or poor maintenance of the tailings impoundment structures or improper management of site water may contribute to structural failure or tailings release and could also result in damage or injury. Failure to comply with existing or new environmental, health and safety laws and regulations may result in injunctions, fines, suspension or revocation of permits and other penalties. The costs and delays associated with compliance with these laws, regulations and permits could prevent the Company from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or further development of a mine or increase the costs of development or production and may materially adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price. The Company may also be held responsible for the costs of investigating and addressing contamination (including claims for natural resource damages) or for fines or penalties from governmental authorities relating to contamination issues at current or former sites, either owned directly or by third parties. The Company could also be held liable for claims relating to exposure to hazardous and toxic substances and major spills or failure of the tailing facilities, which could include a breach of a tailings impoundment. The costs associated with such responsibilities and liabilities may be significant, be higher than estimated and involve a lengthy clean-up. Moreover, in the event that the Company is deemed liable for any damage caused by a major spill, failure or material flow from the tailings facilities (including through occurrences beyond the Company's control such as extreme weather, a seismic event, or other incident), the Company's losses or the consequences of regulatory action might exceed insurance coverage. Should the Company be unable to fully fund the cost of remedying such environmental concerns, the Company may be required to suspend operations temporarily or permanently. Such incidents could also have a negative impact on the reputation and image of the Company.

Geotechnical Considerations

Throughout the mining industry, operational conditions continue to get more challenging, with the need to mine increasingly variable and deep deposits increasing exposure to seismic activity, geotechnical complexity and hydrogeological uncertainty. Although adequate precautions to minimize risk will be taken, unanticipated adverse conditions may occur and may be difficult to predict.

Geotechnical challenges can also be observed in surface facilities such as:

a.Heap leach pads

b.Water management structures and ponds

58

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

c.Waste rock storage areas

d.Tailings storage areas (both slurried and dry) and

e.Open pit operations.

Adverse and variable conditions may occur and may be affected by risks and hazards outside of our control, and may result in sudden or unpredicted movement of material, including slips or other failures in heap leach pads, waste rock storage areas or open pits, containment discharges and leakage of leaching solutions. Such events may not be detected in advance and all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price. See also “Environmental”, “Waste Disposal”, and “Production and Processing”.

Global Economic Environment

Market events and conditions, including disruptions in the international credit markets and other financial systems and deteriorating global economic conditions, could increase the cost of capital or impede our access to capital.

Economic and geopolitical events may create uncertainty in global financial and equity markets. The global debt situation may cause increased global political and financial instability resulting in downward price pressure for many asset classes and increased volatility and risk spreads.

For example, on February 24, 2022, Russian military forces launched a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. In response, Ukrainian military personal and civilians are actively resisting the invasion. Many countries throughout the world have provided aid to Ukraine in the form of financial aid and in some cases military equipment and weapons to assist in their resistance to the Russian invasion. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) has also mobilized forces to NATO member countries that are close to the conflict as deterrence to further Russian aggression in the region. The outcome of the conflict is uncertain and is likely to have wide ranging consequences on the peace and stability of the region, the availability and price of commodities produced in the region (e.g. hydrocarbons) and the world economy. Certain countries, including Canada and the United States, have imposed strict financial and trade sanctions against Russia and such sanctions may have far reaching effects on the global economy. As Russia is a major exporter of oil and natural gas, any disruption of supply of oil and natural gas from Russia could cause a significant worldwide supply shortage of oil and natural gas and significantly impact pricing of oil and gas worldwide. A lack of supply and high prices of oil and natural gas could also have a significant adverse impact on the world economy. The long-term impacts of the conflict and the sanctions imposed on Russia remain uncertain.

These and other impacts of the Russia-Ukraine conflict or other armed conflict could also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Managing Risk” section, including the risk factor titled “Limited Number of Smelters and Off-Takers”. The ultimate impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on our business is difficult to predict and depends on factors that are evolving and beyond our control, including the scope and duration of the conflict, as well as actions taken by governmental authorities and third parties in response. We may experience material adverse impacts to our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price as a result of any of these disruptions, even after the Russia-Ukraine conflict has subsided.

Such disruptions could make it more difficult for us to obtain capital and financing for our operations, or increase the cost of it, among other things.

If such negative economic conditions persist or worsen, it could lead to increased political and financial uncertainty, which could result in regime or regulatory changes in the jurisdictions in which we operate. High levels of volatility and market turmoil could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Pandemics, Epidemics and Public Health Crises

The occurrence or reoccurrence of any pandemic, epidemic, endemic or similar public health threats (such as COVID-19) and resulting negative impact on the global economy and financial markets, the duration and extent of which is highly uncertain and could be material, may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

59

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

The extent to which global pandemics impact our business going forward will depend on a variety of factors including directives of government and public health authorities; disruptions and volatility in the global capital markets, which may increase cost of capital and adversely impact access to capital; impacts on workforces throughout the regions in which we operate, which may result in our workforce being unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, facility closures or other restrictions in connection with such pandemics; the roll out and effectiveness of vaccines or other treatments; delays in product refining and smelting due to restrictions or temporary closures; sustained disruptions in global supply chains; and other unpredictable impacts that are not foreseeable at this time. These and other impacts of a pandemic, epidemic, endemic or similar public health threats could also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this "Managing Risk" section.

Limited Number of Smelters and Off-Takers

We rely on a limited number of smelters and off-takers to produce and distribute the product of our operations, a substantial number of which are in China. The amount of gold concentrate that we can produce and sell is subject to the accessibility, availability, proximity, and capacity of the smelters and off-takers to produce and distribute the product of our operations. A lack of smelter capacity to process Eldorado's gold concentrate, in China and elsewhere, whether as a result of environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and industry standards or otherwise, could limit the ability for Eldorado to deliver its products to market. In addition, the Industry Standard could result in Eldorado's inability to realize the full economic potential of certain of its products or in a reduction of the price offered for certain of Eldorado's gold concentrates. In addition, our ability to transport concentrate to smelters may be affected by geo-political considerations, including the Russia-Ukraine war and more recent developments involving threats to the safety and security of commercial shipping operations in the Red Sea. Unexpected shut-downs, concentrate transportation challenges or unavailability of smelter capacity, because of actions taken by regulators or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on Eldorado's business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price. See also "Russia-Ukraine Conflict" and “Foreign Operations”.

Labour - Employee/Union Relations/Greek Transformation

We depend on our workforce to explore for mineral reserves and resources, develop our projects and operate our mines. We have programs to recruit and train the necessary workforce for our operations, and we work hard at maintaining good relations with our workforce to minimize the possibility of defections and strikes, lockouts (if permitted under applicable legislation) and other stoppages at our work sites. In addition, our relations with our employees may be affected by changes in labour and employment legislation that may be introduced by the relevant governmental authorities in whose jurisdictions we carry on business. Changes in such legislation or a prolonged labour disruption or shortages at any of our mines or projects could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

A significant portion of our employees are represented by labour unions in a number of countries under various collective bargaining agreements with varying durations and expiration dates. Labour agreements are negotiated on a periodic basis, and may not be renewed on reasonably satisfactory terms to us or at all. If we do not successfully negotiate new collective bargaining agreements with our union workers, we may incur prolonged strikes and other work stoppages at our mining operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price. Additionally, if we enter into a new labour agreement with any union that significantly increases our labour costs relative to our competitors, our ability to compete may be materially and adversely affected. We expect that labour shortages and industry dynamics that are beyond our control could contribute to growing shortages of skilled labour, with the possibility of negative impacts on our ability to develop or operate various projects.

We could experience labour disruptions such as work stoppages, work slowdowns, union organizing campaigns, strikes, or lockouts (if permitted under applicable legislation) that could adversely affect our operations. For example, we are undertaking a significant transformation process in Greece to improve the performance of the operating Kassandra Mines, in respect of which work stoppages of a significant duration are possible as we move forward to achieve the necessary outcomes of this work. We are also negotiating a new bargaining agreement in Turkiye and expect that the inflation experienced in the country will be a relevant factor to address during

60

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

negotiations. Any work interruptions involving Eldorado's employees (including as a result of a strike or lockout as permitted by applicable legislation) or operations, or any jointly owned facilities operated by another entity present a significant risk to Eldorado and could have a material adverse effect on Eldorado's business, financial condition, and results of operations. See also "Skilled Workforce” and “Inflation Risk”.

Employee Misconduct

We are reliant on the good character of our employees and are subject to the risk that employee misconduct could occur. Although we take precautions to prevent and detect employee misconduct, these precautions may not be effective and the Company could be exposed to unknown and unmanaged risks or losses. The existence of our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, among other governance and compliance policies and processes, may not prevent incidents of theft, dishonesty or other fraudulent behaviour nor can we guarantee compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

These types of misconduct could result in unknown and unmanaged damage or losses, including regulatory sanctions and serious harm to our reputation. The precautions we take to prevent and detect these activities may not be effective. If material employee misconduct does occur, our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price could be adversely affected.

Key Personnel

We depend on a number of key personnel, including executives and senior officers. We do not have key person life insurance. Employment contracts are in place with each of these executives, however, losing any of them could have an adverse effect on our operations.

We need to continue implementing and enhancing our management systems and recruiting and training new employees to manage our business effectively. We have been successful in attracting and retaining skilled and experienced personnel in the past, and expect to be in the future, but there is no assurance this will be the case.

Skilled Workforce

We depend on a skilled workforce, including but not limited to mining and mineral, metallurgical and geological engineers, geologists, environmental and safety specialists, and mining operators to explore and develop our projects and operate our mines. We have programs and initiatives in place to attract and retain a skilled workforce. However, we are potentially faced with a shortage of skilled professionals due to competition in the industry and as experienced employees continue to exit the workforce. As such, we need to continue to enhance training and development programs for current employees and partner with local universities and technical schools to train and develop a skilled workforce for the future, such efforts are costly and there is no assurance that they will result in Eldorado having the workforce it needs, including in terms of location, skill set and timing. See also "Labour - Employee/Union Relations/Greek Transformation” and “Inflation Risk”.

Expatriates

We depend on expatriates to work at our mines and projects to fill gaps in expertise and provide needed management skills in the countries where we operate. Additionally, we depend on expatriates to transfer knowledge and best practices and to train and develop in-country personnel and transition successors into their roles. Such training requires access to our sites and such access may be prohibited by government. We operate in challenging locations and must continue to maintain competitive compensation and benefits programs to attract and retain expatriate personnel. We must also develop in-country personnel to run our mines in the future. A lack of appropriately skilled and experienced personnel in key management positions would have an adverse effect on our operations.

Contractors

We may engage a number of different contractors during the development and construction phase of a project, including pursuant to a lump sum contract for specified services or through a range of engineering, procurement, construction and management contract options, depending on the type and complexity of work that is being undertaken, and the level of engineering that has been completed when the contract is awarded. Depending on the type of contract and the point at which it is awarded, there is potential for variations to occur within the contract

61

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

scope, which could take the form of extras that were not considered as part of the original scope or change orders. These changes may result in increased capital costs. Similarly, we may be subject to disputes with contractors on contract interpretation, which could result in increased capital costs under the contract or delay in completion of the project if a contract dispute interferes with the contractor's efforts on the ground. There is also a risk that our contractors and subcontractors could experience labour disputes or become insolvent, and this could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Indebtedness

As at December 31, 2023, we have approximately $636 million in total debt. The incurrence or maintenance of substantial levels of debt could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, the Eldorado Gold share price and our ability to take advantage of corporate opportunities.

Long term indebtedness could have adverse consequences, including:

•limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate requirements, or requiring us to make non-strategic divestitures;

•requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows to be dedicated to debt service payments instead of other purposes, thereby reducing the amount of cash flows available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends and other general corporate purposes;

•increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

•limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry in which we compete;

•placing us at a disadvantage compared to other, less leveraged competitors;

•increasing our cost of borrowing; and

•putting us at risk of default if we do not service or repay this debt in accordance with applicable covenants.

While neither our articles nor our by-laws limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur, the level of our indebtedness under our senior notes, Fourth ARCA, and Term Facility from time to time could impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future on a timely basis, or at all, and to take advantage of business opportunities that may arise, thereby potentially limiting our operational flexibility as well as our financial flexibility.

Current and Future Operating Restrictions

Our senior notes, Fourth ARCA, and the Term Facility contain certain restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us. In some circumstances, the restrictive covenants may limit our operating flexibility and our ability to engage in actions that may be in our long-term best interest, including, among other things, restrictions on our ability to:

•incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness;

•pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our capital stock;

•prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt;

•make loans and investments, including investments into certain affiliates;

•sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets;

•incur certain lease obligations;

•incur or permit to exist certain liens;

•enter into transactions with affiliates;

•undertake certain acquisitions;

•complete certain corporate changes;

•enter into certain hedging arrangements;

62

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

•enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends; and

•consolidate, amalgamate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

In addition, the restrictive covenants in our Fourth ARCA contain certain restrictions on us and require us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy other financial condition tests. Our ability to meet those financial ratios and tests may be affected by events beyond our control. These restrictions could limit our ability to obtain future financing, make acquisitions, grow in accordance with our strategy or secure the needed working capital to withstand future downturns in our business or the economy in general, or otherwise take advantage of business opportunities that may arise, any of which could place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors that may have less debt and are not subject to such restrictions. Failure to meet these conditions and tests could constitute events of default thereunder.

Change of Control

Upon the occurrence of specific kinds of change of control events, we will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding senior notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date. Additionally, under the Fourth ARCA, a change of control (as defined therein) will constitute an event of default that permits the lenders to accelerate the maturity of borrowings under the credit agreement and terminate their commitments to lend.

The source of funds for any purchase of the senior notes and repayment of borrowings under the Fourth ARCA would be our available cash or cash generated from our subsidiaries' operations or other sources, including borrowings, sales of assets or sales of equity, as applicable. We may not be able to repurchase the senior notes or repay the Fourth ARCA upon a change of control because we may not have sufficient financial resources to purchase all of the debt securities that are tendered upon a change of control and repay any of our other indebtedness that may become due. We may require additional financing from third parties to fund any such purchases, and we may be unable to obtain financing on satisfactory terms or at all. Further, our ability to repurchase the senior notes may be limited by law. In order to avoid the obligations to repurchase the senior notes and events of default and potential breaches of the Fourth ARCA, we may have to avoid certain change of control transactions that would otherwise be beneficial to us.

Debt Service Obligations

Our ability to make scheduled payments on, refinance or commence repayment of our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which are subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond our control, including those identified elsewhere in this MD&A. We may be unable to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and could be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or to dispose of material assets or operations, seek additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness.

We may be unable to commence repayment, as planned. We may also not be able to effect any such alternative measures, if necessary, on commercially reasonable terms or at all and, even if successful, those alternatives may not allow us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. The senior notes and Fourth ARCA will restrict our ability to dispose of certain assets and use the proceeds from those dispositions other than to repay such obligations and may also restrict our ability to raise debt or equity capital to be used to repay other indebtedness when it becomes due. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain proceeds in an amount sufficient to meet any debt service obligations then due.

In addition, Eldorado Gold conducts substantially all of its operations through its subsidiaries. Accordingly, repayment of Eldorado Gold's indebtedness will be dependent in large measure on the generation of cash flow by its subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash available to Eldorado Gold, by dividend, intercompany debt repayment or otherwise. Unless they are or become guarantors of Eldorado Gold's indebtedness, Eldorado Gold's subsidiaries do not have any obligation to pay amounts due on its indebtedness or to make funds available for that purpose. Eldorado Gold's subsidiaries may not be able to, or may not be permitted to, make distributions to enable

63

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Eldorado Gold to make payments in respect of its indebtedness. In addition, certain subsidiaries of Eldorado Gold may not be able to, or may not be permitted to, make certain investments into certain other subsidiaries of Eldorado Gold beyond a certain threshold amount. Each subsidiary is a distinct legal entity, and, under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit Eldorado Gold's ability to obtain cash from its subsidiaries. While the senior notes and Fourth ARCA limit the ability of Eldorado Gold's subsidiaries to incur consensual restrictions on their ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany payments to Eldorado Gold, these limitations are subject to qualifications and exceptions. Furthermore, as Eldorado's funds are used to develop projects in foreign jurisdictions through foreign subsidiaries, there may be restrictions on foreign subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany payments to Eldorado Gold. In the event that Eldorado Gold does not receive distributions from its subsidiaries, Eldorado Gold may be unable to make required principal and interest payments on its indebtedness, including the senior notes and Fourth ARCA.

Our inability to generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy our debt obligations, or to refinance our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all, would materially and adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and our ability to satisfy our obligations and our debt instruments.

Default on Obligations

A breach of the covenants under the senior notes, Fourth ARCA or our other debt instruments could result in an event of default under the applicable indebtedness. Such a default may allow the creditors to accelerate the repayment of the related debt and may result in the acceleration of repayment of any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. In addition, an event of default under the Fourth ARCA would permit the lenders thereunder to terminate all commitments to extend further credit under that facility. Furthermore, if we are unable to repay any amounts due and payable under the Fourth ARCA, those lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure such indebtedness. If our lenders or noteholders accelerate the repayment of our borrowings, we may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness.

If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow and are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants in our debt instruments, which could cause cross-acceleration or cross-default under other debt agreements, we could be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such other indebtedness. If such a default occurs:

•the holders of the indebtedness may be able to cause all of our available cash flow to be used to pay the indebtedness and, in any event, could elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest; or

•we could be forced into bankruptcy, liquidation or restructuring proceedings.

If our operating performance declines, we may in the future need to amend or modify the agreements governing our indebtedness or seek concessions from the holders of such indebtedness. There is no assurance that such concessions would be forthcoming.

Credit Ratings

Our outstanding senior notes currently have a non-investment grade credit rating and any rating assigned could be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency if, in that agency's judgment, future circumstances relating to the basis of the credit rating, such as adverse changes to our business or affairs, so warrant. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings will generally affect the market value of the senior notes. Additionally, credit ratings may not reflect the potential effect of risks relating to the senior notes. Any future lowering of our ratings may make it more difficult or more expensive for us to obtain additional financing. In 2023, there were no changes to the credit ratings provided by S&P, Moody's, or Fitch.

Government Regulation

The mineral exploration, development, mining, and processing activities of Eldorado in the countries where we operate are subject to various laws governing a wide range of matters, including, but not limited to, the following:

•the environment, including land and water use;

64

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

•the right to conduct our business, including limitations on our rights in jurisdictions where we are considered a foreign entity and restrictions on inbound investment;

•prospecting and exploration rights and methods;

•development activities;

•construction;

•mineral production;

•reclamation;

•royalties, taxes, fees and imposts;

•importation of goods;

•currency exchange restrictions;

•sales of our products;

•repatriation of profits and return of capital;

•immigration (including entry visas and employment of our personnel);

•labour standards and occupational health

•supply chain transparency (including Canada’s Modern Slavery Act);

•mine safety;

•use of toxic substances;

•mineral title, mineral tenure and competing land claims; and

•impacts on and participation rights of local communities and entities.

Although we believe our mineral exploration, development, mining, and processing activities are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable laws, rules regulations and policies, there is no assurance that new or amended laws, rules or regulations will not be enacted, new policy applied or that existing laws, rules, regulations or discretion will not be applied in a manner which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price, including changes to the fiscal regime, in any of the countries in which we operate, including, without limitation:

•laws regarding government ownership of or participation in projects;

•laws regarding permitted foreign investments;

•royalties, taxes, fees and imposts;

•regulation of, or restrictions on, importation of goods and movement of personnel;

•regulation of, or restrictions on, currency transactions;

•regulation of, or restrictions on, sales of our products,or other laws generally applicable in such country, or changes to the ways in which any of these laws are applied, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price; and

•laws regarding social and environmental regulation, including environmental reporting requirements.

We are subject to corporate governance guidelines and disclosure standards that apply to Canadian companies listed on the TSX, and with corporate governance standards that apply to us as a foreign private issuer listed on the NYSE and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in the United States.

Although we substantially comply with NYSE's corporate governance guidelines, we are exempt from certain NYSE requirements because we are subject to Canadian corporate governance requirements. We may from time to time

65

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

seek other relief from corporate governance and exchange requirements and securities laws from the NYSE and other regulators.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX)

We document and test our internal control procedures over financial reporting to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act ("SOX"). SOX requires management to conduct an annual assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting and our external auditors to conduct an independent assessment of the effectiveness of our controls as at the end of each fiscal year.

Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be adequate, or we may not be able to maintain such controls as required by SOX. We also may not be able to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis, if standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time.

If we do not satisfy the SOX requirements on an ongoing and timely basis, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, and this could harm our business and have a negative effect on the trading price or market value of securities of Eldorado Gold.

If from time to time we do not implement new or improved controls, when required, or experience difficulties in implementing them, it could harm our financial results or we may not be able to meet our reporting obligations. There is no assurance that we will be able to remediate material weaknesses, if any are identified in future periods, or maintain all of the necessary controls to ensure continued compliance. There is also no assurance that we will be able to retain personnel who have the necessary finance and accounting skills because of the increased demand for qualified personnel among publicly traded companies.

If any of our staff fail to disclose material information that is otherwise required to be reported, no evaluation can provide complete assurance that our internal controls over financial reporting will detect this. The effectiveness of our controls and procedures over financial reporting may also be limited by simple errors or faulty judgments. Continually enhancing our internal controls over financial reporting is important, especially as we expand and the challenges involved in implementing appropriate internal controls over financial reporting will increase. Although we intend to devote substantial time to ongoing compliance with this, including incurring the necessary costs associated with therewith, we cannot be certain that we will be successful in complying with section 404 of SOX.

We are subject to changing rules and regulations promulgated by a number of United States and Canadian governmental and self-regulated organizations, including the SEC, Canadian Securities Administrators, the NYSE, the TSX and the Financial Accounting Standards Board. These rules and regulations continue to evolve in scope and complexity and many new requirements have been created in response to laws enacted by governments, making compliance more difficult and uncertain. An example of such regulatory development is the SEC's "Modernization of Property Disclosures for Mining Registrants" (the "New Rule").

The SEC has adopted the New Rule to replace the existing SEC Industry Guide 7. The New Rule has become effective for SEC registrants for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2021. While Eldorado is currently exempt from the New Rule as it files its annual report in accordance with the multijurisdictional disclosure system between Canada and the United States ("MJDS"), if Eldorado loses its ability to file in accordance with MJDS or if Eldorado files certain registration statements with the SEC, Eldorado would be required to comply with the New Rule. While the New Rule has similarities with NI 43-101, Eldorado may be required to update or revise all of its existing technical reports, which may result in revisions (either upward or downward) to Eldorado's mineral reserves and mineral resources, in order to comply with the New Rule. In addition, the New Rule is subject to unknown interpretations, which could require Eldorado to incur substantial costs associated with compliance.

Eldorado's efforts to comply with the Canadian and United States rules and regulations and other new rules and regulations regarding public disclosure have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.

If Eldorado fails to comply with such regulations, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

66

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Commodity Price Risk

The profitability of the Company's operations depend, in large part, upon gold, copper, and other commodity prices. Gold, copper, and other commodity prices can fluctuate widely and can be influenced by many factors beyond its control, including but not limited to: industrial demand, political and economic events (global and regional), gold and financial market volatility and other market factors, the popularity of cryptocurrencies as an alternative investment to gold, and central bank purchases and sales of gold and gold lending.

The global supply of gold is made up of new production from mining, and existing stocks of bullion, scrap and fabricated gold held by governments, public and private financial institutions, industrial organizations and private individuals.

If metal prices decline significantly, or decline for an extended period, Eldorado might not be able to continue operations, develop properties, or fulfill obligations under its permits and licences, or under the agreements with partners and could increase the likelihood and amount that we may be required to record as an impairment charge on our assets. This could result in losing the ability to operate some or all of the Company's properties economically, or being forced to sell them, which could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

The cost of production, development and exploration varies depending on the market prices of certain mining consumables, including diesel fuel, electricity and chemical reagents. Electricity is regionally priced in Turkiye and semi-regulated by the Turkish government, which reduces the risk of price fluctuations. The Company has elected to hedge some of its exposure to commodity price risk for gold and copper with a limited forward sales contract (for delivery on June 30, 2026). The Company may in the future elect to continue or further hedge, from time to time, commodity price contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the price of gold, copper, and other metals. However there is no assurance that Eldorado will be able to conduct further hedging on reasonable terms or that any hedges that have been, or may be, put in place will mitigate these risks or that they will not cause us to experience less favourable economic outcomes than we would have experienced if we had no hedges in place.

In May 2023, we entered into a series of zero-cost gold collar contracts in order to manage cash flow variability during the construction period of Skouries. At December 31, 2023 there are 400,008 ounces of gold derivative contracts outstanding, and 16,667 ounces settle monthly with a weighted average put strike price of $1,850 per ounce and a weighted average call strike price of $2,716 per ounce. The 2023 contracts matured without any financial settlement required.

Mineral Tenure

In the countries in which we operate, the mineral rights, or certain portions of them, are owned by the relevant governments. In such countries, we must enter into contracts with the applicable governments, or obtain permits or concessions from them, that allow us to hold rights over mineral rights and rights (including ownership) over parcels of land and conduct our operations thereon. The availability of such rights and the scope of operations we may undertake are subject to the discretion of the applicable governments and may be subject to conditions. New laws and regulations, or amendments to laws and regulations relating to mineral tenure and land title and usage thereof, including expropriations and deprivations of contractual rights, if proposed and enacted, may affect our rights to our mineral properties.

In many instances, we can initially only obtain rights to conduct exploration activities on certain prescribed areas, but obtaining the rights to proceed with development, mining and production on such areas or to use them for other related purposes, such as waste storage or water management, is subject to further application, conditions or licences, the granting of which are often at the discretion of the governments. In many instances, our rights are restricted to fixed periods of time with limited, and often discretionary, renewal rights. Delays in the process for applying for such rights or renewals or expansions, or the nature of conditions imposed by government, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our existing developments and mines, and our results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

The cost of holding these rights often escalates over time or as the scope of our operating rights expands. There is no assurance that the mineral rights regimes under which we hold properties or which govern our operations

67

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

thereon will not be changed, amended, or applied in a manner which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price, that the ongoing costs of obtaining or maintaining our rights will remain economic and not result in uncompensated delays or that compliance with conditions imposed from time to time will be practicable. Any inability to obtain and retain rights to use lands for our ongoing operations at all or on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

It is possible that our present or future tenure may be subject to challenges, prior unregistered agreements or transfers, and competing uses. In addition, certain lands in Canada are subject to indigenous rights, treaty rights and/or asserted rights in and to traditional territories. Our rights may also be affected by undetected defects in title. There is no assurance that any of our holdings will not be challenged. We may also be subject to expropriation proceedings for a variety of reasons. When any such challenge or proceeding is in process, we may suffer material delays in our business and operations or suspensions of our operations, and we may not be compensated for resulting losses. Any defects, challenges, agreements, transfers or competing uses which prevail over our rights, and any expropriation of our holdings, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our total loss of such rights, and our results of operations, financial condition and share price.

Certain of our mining properties are subject to royalty and other payment obligations. If we fail to meet any such obligations, we may lose our rights.

There is no assurance that we will be able to hold or operate on our properties as currently held or operated or at all, or that we will be able to enforce our rights with respect to our holdings, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Permits

Activities in the nature of our business and operations can only be conducted pursuant to a wide range of permits and licenses obtained or renewed in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations in the countries in which we operate. These include permits and licenses, which authorize us to, conduct business in such countries; import or export goods and materials; employ foreign personnel in-country; and operate equipment, among other things.

In connection with the scoping of projects, we may be actively discussing permits with various government authorities. The duration and success of each permitting process are contingent upon many factors that we do not control. In the case of foreign operations, granting of government approvals, permits and licences is, as a practical matter, subject to the discretion of the applicable governments or government officials. There may be delays in the review process. If the Company experiences such delays, the Company may be required to pay standby costs for the period during which activities are suspended, including payment of a portion of the salaries to those employees who have been suspended pending resolution of the permitting process. In addition, certain of Eldorado's mining properties are subject to royalty and other payment obligations. Failure to meet Eldorado's payment obligations under these agreements could result in the loss of its rights.

In the context of environmental protection permitting, including the approval of reclamation plans, we are required to comply with existing laws and regulations and other standards that may entail greater or lower costs and delays depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted and the interpretation of the laws and regulations implemented by the permitting authority.

We have in the past experienced significant delays in the timely receipt of necessary permits and authorizations from the Greek State in order to advance operations in Greece, including in respect of Skouries. As a result, Skouries was placed on care and maintenance and these delays had impacted the Company's business and financial condition. We currently hold all necessary permits for the development of Skouries mine, but it has to be noted it is possible that in the future other delays in the timely receipt of necessary permits may delay or otherwise impact our operations. Delays and other impacts may be further exacerbated by legal challenges, reviews, or appeals by various government and non-government organizations.

In Q2 2023, we obtained a modification and time extension (up to 2038) of the Kassandra Mines Environmental Terms approval (the “2023 Environmental Terms Approval”) which covers the expansion of the Olympias processing facility and the Stratoni port modernization. Our current Environmental Terms are valid through to April 2038 and

68

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

cover all of our operations. In June 2023, local associations and residents around the Kassandra Mines filed an appeal for the annulment of the 2023 Environmental Terms Approval. The appeal claims legal grounds relating to the Investment Agreement, and requests that the provisions concerning the independent environmental auditor and certain environmental provisions should be annulled. The Company has filed an intervention, and the hearing is expected to occur within 2024. In the case of a partial or full annulment the 2023 Environmental Terms Approval, the 2011 Environmental Terms (as applicable in 2023) would still be valid on the relevant chapters. However, any provisions in the 2023 Environmental Terms not covered by the 2011 Environmental Terms would be subject to a new approval process and, depending on the extent of the relevant provisions and process duration, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

In addition, some of our current mineral tenures, licences and permits, including environmental and operating permits for Olympias, are due to expire prior to our planned life of mines, and will require renewals on terms acceptable to Eldorado. There are relevant provisions for their renewal in the Investment Agreement, however there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain or renew these tenures and permits in order to conduct our business and operations, in a timely manner or at all, or that we will be in a position to comply with all conditions that are imposed. The failure to obtain or renew such tenure and permits, or the imposition of extensive conditions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Environmental, Sustainability and Governance Practices and Performance

There is increased scrutiny from stakeholders related to our environmental, social and governance ("ESG") practices, performance and disclosures, including prioritization of sustainable and responsible production practices, decarbonization and management of climate risk, tailings stewardship and social license to operate among others in the jurisdictions where we operate. As highlighted in our annual sustainability report, we have adopted an approach to responsible mining, articulated in our sustainability framework and delivered upon through the implementation of our sustainability management system.

It is possible that our stakeholders might not be satisfied with our ESG practices, performance and/or disclosures, or the speed of their adoption, implementation and measurable success. If we do not meet our evolving stakeholders' expectations, our reputation, our access to and cost of capital, and our stock price could be negatively impacted.

In addition, our customers and end users may require that we implement certain additional ESG procedures or standards before they will start or continue to do business with us, which could lead to preferential buying based on our ESG practices compared to our competitors' ESG practices.

Investor advocacy groups, certain institutional investors, investment funds, creditors and other influential investors are increasingly focused on our ESG practices and in recent years have placed increasing importance on the implications of their investments. Organizations that provide information to investors on ESG performance and related matters have developed quantitative and qualitative data collection processes and ratings processes for evaluating companies on their approach to ESG matters. Such ratings are used by some investors to inform their investment and voting decisions. Unfavorable ratings or assessment of our ESG practices may lead to negative investor sentiment toward us, which could have a negative impact on our stock price and our access to and cost of capital. Additionally, if we do not adapt to or comply with investor or stakeholder expectations and standards, which are evolving, or if we are perceived to have not responded appropriately, regardless of whether there is a legal requirement to do so, we may suffer from reputational damage and our business, financial condition, and/or stock price could be materially and adversely affected.

Eldorado takes seriously our obligation to respect and promote human rights, is a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, and has adopted a Human Rights Policy informed by The International Bill of Human Rights, The Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, The International Labour Organization's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, The Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights and The Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Effective January 1, 2024, the Company will also be subject to Canada’s new Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (the “Modern Slavery Act”). Eldorado is committed to meeting its obligations under the Modern Slavery Act. Later this year, Eldorado will be preparing and

69

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

delivering the necessary disclosure document listing, among other things, steps that Eldorado has taken to prevent and reduce risks of forced labour and child labour.

Although the Company has implemented a number of significant measures and safeguards, including our Human Rights Policy, which are intended to ensure that personnel understand and uphold human rights standards, the implementation of these measures will not guarantee that personnel, national police or other public security forces will uphold human rights standards in every instance.

The failure to conduct operations in accordance with Company standards, including those described in our annual sustainability report and Human Rights Policy, can result in harm to employees, community members or trespassers, increase community tensions, reputational harm to us or result in criminal and/or civil liability and/or financial damages or penalties.

Financial Reporting

Carrying Value of Assets

The carrying value of our assets is compared to our estimates of their estimated fair value to assess how much value can be recovered based on current events and circumstances. Our fair value estimates are based on numerous assumptions and are adjusted from time to time and the actual fair value, which also varies over time, could be significantly different than these estimates.

If our valuation assumptions prove to be incorrect, or we experience a decline in the fair value of our reporting units, then this could result in an impairment charge, which could have an adverse effect on our business and the value of our securities.

Change in Reporting Standards

Changes in accounting or financial reporting standards may have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations in the future.

Non-Governmental Organizations

Certain non-governmental organizations ("NGOs") that oppose globalization and resource development are often vocal critics of the mining industry and its practices, including the use of hazardous substances in processing activities and the related environmental impact, and such NGOs may oppose our current and future operations or further development or new development of projects or operations on such grounds. Adverse publicity generated by such NGOs or other parties generally related to extractive industries or specifically to our operations, could have an adverse effect on our reputation, impact our relationships with the communities in which we operate and ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

NGOs may lobby governments for changes to laws, regulations and policies pertaining to mining and relevant to our business activities which, if made, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

NGOs may organize protests, install road blockades, apply for injunctions for work stoppage, file lawsuits for damages and intervene and participate in lawsuits seeking to cancel our rights, permits and licences. These actions can relate not only to current activities but also historic mining activities by prior owners and could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. NGOs may also file complaints with regulators in respect of our, and our directors' and insiders' regulatory filings in respect of Eldorado Gold. Such complaints, regardless of whether they have any substance or basis in fact or law, may have the effect of undermining the confidence of the public or a regulator in Eldorado Gold or such directors or insiders. This may adversely affect our prospects of obtaining the regulatory approvals necessary for advancement of some or all of our exploration and development plans or operations and our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Corruption, Bribery and Sanctions

Our operations are governed by, and involve interactions with, many levels of government in numerous countries. Like most companies, we are required to comply with anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, including the Criminal

70

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Code (Canada) and the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada) and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, as well as similar laws that apply to our business including in the countries in which we conduct our business or our securities trade (collectively, "anti-bribery laws"). The Company has implemented and promulgated an Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy, which with our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, all directors, officers and employees are required to comply.

In recent years, there has been a general increase in both the severity of penalties and frequency of prosecution and enforcement under such laws, resulting in greater punishment and scrutiny to companies convicted of violating anti-bribery laws. Furthermore, a company may be found liable for violations by not only its directors, officers or employees, but also through the actions of any third party agents or representatives. Although we have adopted policies and use a risk-based approach to mitigate such risks, such measures may not always be effective in ensuring that we, our directors, officers, employees or third party agents or representatives will strictly be in compliance with such anti-bribery laws. If we find ourselves subject to an enforcement action or are found to be in violation of such anti-bribery laws, this may result in significant criminal penalties, fines and/or sanctions being imposed on us and significant negative media coverage resulting in a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

The operation of our business may also be impacted by anti-terrorism, economic or financial sanction laws including the Criminal Code (Canada), the United Nations Act (Canada), the Special Economic Measures Act (Canada), the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act (Sergei Magnitsky Law) (Canada) and the Freezing Assets of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act (Canada), and more recently, the concerted sanctions against Russia in response to the Russia-Ukraine war, as well as similar laws in countries in which we conduct our business or our securities trade (collectively, "sanctions laws"). Throughout 2022 we experienced substantial price increases for certain commodities and consumables as a result of supply concerns caused by financial and trade sanctions against Russia, and ongoing supply chain challenges due to COVID-19. Cost increases primarily impacted electricity at operations in Greece and Turkiye, and fuel and reagents at Kisladag. Input prices have not yet returned to pre-COVID-19 levels. Such sanctions laws and any regulations, orders or policies issued thereunder may impose restrictions and prohibitions on trade, financial transactions, investments and other economic activities with sanctioned or designated foreign individuals or companies from a target country, industries, markets, countries or regions within countries. These restrictions and prohibitions may also apply to dealings with non-state actors such as terrorist organizations and may change from time to time. These restrictions and prohibitions may also apply to affiliates of sanctioned or designated persons and those acting on their behalf as agents or representatives. Sanctions laws are continually being updated in order to respond to unexpected events and occurrences across the globe. We use our best efforts to react as soon as possible to changes in sanctions laws across the globe. However, it takes time for us to review the updates. These potential delays are sometimes exacerbated by the reality that governments do not necessarily provide sufficient guidance for businesses wanting to comply with applicable laws. Although we do not believe that we are in contravention of such sanctions laws, there is no assurance that we are or will be in full compliance at all times and that there will not be a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Information and Operational Technology Systems

Our operations depend, in part, upon information and operational technology systems. Our information and operational technology systems, including machines and equipment, are subject to disruption, damage, disabling, misuse, malfunction or failure from a number of sources, including, but not limited to, hacking, computer viruses, security breaches, natural disasters, power loss, vandalism, theft, malware, cyber threats, extortion, employee error, malfeasance and defects in design. We may also be a target of cyber surveillance or a cyber-attack from cyber criminals, industrial competitors or government actors. Any of these and other events could result in information and operating technology systems failures, operational delays, production downtimes, operating accidents, loss of revenues due to a disruption of activities, incurring of remediation costs, including ransom payments, destruction or corruption of data, release of confidential information in contravention of applicable laws, litigation, fines and liability for failure to comply with privacy and information security laws, s access to proprietary or sensitive information, security breaches or other manipulation or improper use of our data, systems and networks, regulatory investigations and heightened regulatory scrutiny, any of which could have material adverse effects on our reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

71

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Although to date we have not experienced any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, there is no assurance that we will not incur such losses in the future. Our risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cyber security and the continued development and enhancement of controls, processes and practices designed to protect our systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access remain a priority. As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities. Risks related to cyber security are monitored on an ongoing basis by Eldorado Gold's senior management and Board of Directors.

We could also be adversely affected by system or network disruptions if new or upgraded information or operational technology systems are defective, not installed properly or not properly integrated into our operations. Various measures have been implemented to manage our risks related to system implementation and modification, but system modification failures could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and the Eldorado Gold share price and could, if not successfully implemented, adversely impact the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.

Any damage, disabling, misuse, malfunction or failure that causes an interruption in operations could have an adverse effect on the production from and development of our properties. While we have systems, policies, hardware, practices and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of disabling, misuse, malfunction or failure of our operating facilities, infrastructure, machines and equipment, there can be no assurance that these measures will be sufficient and that any such failures or interruptions will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed in a timely manner.

Litigation and Contracts

We are periodically subject to legal claims that are with and without merit.

We are regularly involved in routine litigation matters. We believe that it is unlikely that the final outcome of these routine proceedings will have a material adverse effect on us; however, defense and settlement costs can be substantial, even for claims that are without merit.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, including arbitration proceedings, and dealings with regulatory bodies, there is no assurance that any legal or regulatory proceeding will be resolved in a manner that will not have a material and/or adverse effect on us. In the event of a dispute arising from foreign operations, the Company may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts or arbitration panels or may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdiction of courts in Canada.

In our business, we make contracts with a wide range of counterparties. There can be no assurance that these contracts will be honoured and performed in accordance with their terms by our counterparties or that we will be able to enforce the contractual obligations.

We do not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcome of any individual legal proceeding will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, although individual or cumulative outcomes could be material to our operating results for a particular period, depending on the nature and magnitude of the outcome and the operating results for the period.

Estimation of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources

Estimates Only

Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates are only estimates and we may not produce gold or other metals in the quantities estimated.

Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve estimates may need to be revised based on various factors including:

•actual production experience;

•our ability to continue to own and operate our mines and property;

•fluctuations in the market price of gold, copper, or other metals;

72

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

•results of drilling or metallurgical testing;

•production costs; and

•recovery rates.

The cut-off values and cut-off grades for the Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are based on our assumptions about plant recovery, metal prices, mining dilution and recovery, and our estimates for operating and capital costs, which are based on historical production figures. We may have to recalculate our estimated mineral reserve and resources based on actual production or the results of exploration. Fluctuations in the market price of gold, unanticipated increases in production costs (such as labour, energy, or other key inputs) or recovery rates can make it unprofitable for us to develop or operate a particular property for a period of time. As part of the annual Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources review process, a summary of which was published on December 5, 2022 with an effective date of September 30, 2022, cut-off values or cut-off grades were updated to reflect current operating and market conditions. If there is a material decrease in our mineral reserve estimates, or our ability to extract the mineral reserves, it could have a material adverse effect on our future cash flow, business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

There are uncertainties inherent in estimating Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves and Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources, including many factors beyond our control. Estimating Mineral Reserves and Resources is a subjective process. Accuracy depends on the quantity and quality of available data and assumptions and judgments used in engineering and geological interpretation, which may be unreliable or subject to change. It is inherently impossible to have full knowledge of particular geological structures, faults, voids, intrusions, natural variations in and within rock types and other occurrences. Additional knowledge gained or failure to identify and account for such occurrences in our assessment of Mineral Reserves and Resources may make mining more expensive and cost prohibitive, which will have a material adverse effect on our future cash flow, business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

There is no assurance that the estimates are accurate, that Mineral Reserve and Resource figures are accurate, or that the Mineral Reserves or Resources can be mined or processed profitably. Mineral Resources that are not classified as Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. You should not assume that all or any part of the Measured Mineral Resources, Indicated Mineral Resources, or an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category or that any or all of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists or is economically or legally feasible to mine.

Because mines have limited lives based on Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves, we must continually replace and expand our Mineral Reserves and any necessary associated surface rights as our mines produce gold and their life-of-mine is reduced.

Our ability to maintain or increase annual production of gold and other metals will depend significantly on:

•the geological and technical expertise of our management and exploration teams;

•the quality of land available for exploration;

•our mining and processing operations;

•our ability to conduct successful exploration efforts; and

•our ability to develop new projects and make acquisitions.

As we explore and develop a property, we are constantly determining the level of drilling and analytical work required to maintain or upgrade our confidence in the geological model. Depending on continuity, the amount of drilling will vary from deposit to deposit. The degree of analytical work is determined by the variability in the ore, the type of metallurgical process used and the potential for deleterious elements in the ore. We do not drill exhaustively at all deposits or analyze every sample for every known element as the cost would be prohibitive. Therefore, unknown geological formations are possible, which could limit our ability to access the ore or cut off the ore where we are expecting continuity. It is also possible that we have not correctly identified all metals and deleterious elements in the ore in order to design metallurgical processes correctly.

73

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

There may be associated metals or minerals that are deleterious to the extraction process or that may make downstream metallurgical processes more difficult. The presence of these metals or minerals may result in us having problems in developing a process that will allow us to extract the ore economically. Alternatively, the ore may not be as valuable as we anticipate due to the lower recoveries received or the penalties associated with extraction of deleterious materials that are sold as part of the saleable product.

There is no assurance that our exploration programs will expand our current mineral reserves or replace them with new mineral reserves. Failure to replace or expand our mineral reserves, as well as maintain or increase our annual production of gold and other metals, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Different Standards

The standards used to prepare and report mineral reserves and mineral resources in this MD&A differ from the requirements of the SEC that are applicable to domestic United States reporting companies. Any mineral reserves and mineral resources reported by Eldorado in accordance with NI 43-101 may not qualify as such under SEC standards, including the New Rule. Accordingly, information contained in this MD&A containing descriptions of the Eldorado mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. See also “Reporting Mineral Reserves and Resources”.

Credit Risk

We may be exposed to credit risks if the counterparty to any financial instrument to which Eldorado is a party will not meet its obligations and will cause us to incur a financial loss. The Company limits counterparty risk by entering into business arrangements with high credit-quality counterparties, limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of counterparties. In accordance with the Company's short-term investment policy, term deposits and short term investments are held with high credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies. For cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, term deposits, derivative assets and accounts receivable, credit risk is represented by the carrying amount on the balance sheet.

Payment for metal sales is normally within normal business practice for receipt of goods and is dependent on the contract terms with the buyer. While the historical level of customer defaults is negligible, which has reduced the credit risk associated with trade receivables at December 31, 2023, there is no guarantee that buyers, including under exclusive sales arrangements, will not default on their commitments, which may have an adverse impact on the Company's financial performance. If there are defaults, Eldorado would be required to find alternate buyers. However, there may be delays associated with establishing new sales contracts or timing on revenue recognition of final sales.

The Company invests its cash and cash equivalents in major financial institutions and in government issuances, according to the Company's short-term investment policy. As at December 31, 2023, the Company holds a significant amount of cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions in North America and the Netherlands. The Company monitors the credit ratings of all financial institutions in which it holds cash and investments. In recent years Turkiye’s sovereign credit ratings were downgraded, reflecting risks associated with high inflation and a depreciating currency. This was followed by the downgrade of the credit ratings of numerous Turkish banking institutions, including two at which the Company holds cash. As at December 31, 2023, deposits equivalent to approximately $9 million U.S. dollars are held in a banking institution operating in Turkiye with lower credit ratings as compared to other financial institutions at which the Company holds cash and investments. This, combined with past downgrades in Turkiye’s sovereign credit rating, expose the Company to greater credit risk. This credit risk is mitigated by a limited in-country cash balance policy; however, amounts of cash held in financial institutions in Turkiye may increase in the future in line with operational or other requirements. The credit risk associated with financial institutions in other jurisdictions continues to be considered low. There can be no assurance that certain financial institutions in foreign countries in which the Company operates will not default on their commitments.

74

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Share Price Volatility, Volume Fluctuations and Dilution

The capital markets have experienced a high degree of volatility in the trading price and volume of shares sold over the past few years. Many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in the market price of their securities that have not necessarily related to their operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects. There is no assurance that the price of our securities will not be affected.

Future acquisitions could be made through the issuance of equity securities of Eldorado Gold. Additional funds may be needed for our exploration and development programs and potential acquisitions, which could be raised through equity issues. Issuing more equity securities can substantially dilute the interests of Eldorado Gold shareholders. Issuing substantial amounts of Eldorado Gold securities, or making them available for sale, could have an adverse effect on the prevailing market prices for Eldorado Gold's securities. A decline of the Eldorado Gold share price could hamper the ability of Eldorado Gold to raise additional capital through the sale of its securities.

Actions of Activist Shareholders

In the past, shareholders have instituted class action lawsuits against companies that have experienced volatility in their share price. Class action lawsuits can result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources, which could significantly harm our profitability and reputation. There is no assurance that Eldorado Gold will not be subject to class action lawsuits.

Publicly-traded companies have also increasingly become subject to campaigns by investors seeking to advocate certain governance changes or corporate actions such as financial restructuring, special dividends, share repurchases or even sales of assets or the entire company. We could be subject to such shareholder activity or demands. Given the challenges we have encountered in our businesses in past years, recent changes to our governance and strategic focus may not satisfy such shareholders who may attempt to promote or effect further changes or acquire control over us. Responding to proxy contests, media campaigns and other actions by activist shareholders, if required, will be costly and time-consuming, will disrupt our operations and would divert the attention of the Board and senior management from the pursuit of our business strategies, which could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and/or prospects. If individuals are elected to the Board with a specific agenda to increase short-term shareholder value, it may adversely affect or undermine our ability to effectively implement our plans. Perceived uncertainties as to our future direction resulting from shareholder activism could also result in the loss of potential business opportunities and may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners, to our detriment.

Reliance on Infrastructure, Commodities and Consumables

Infrastructure

Our business and operations depend on our ability to access and maintain adequate and reliable infrastructure, including roads and bridges, power sources and water systems. We may have to build the required infrastructure if it is not readily available to us for a given project, and there is no assurance that we will be able to do so in a timely manner or at all. Inadequate, inconsistent, or costly infrastructure could compromise many aspects of a project's feasibility, viability and profitability, including, but not limited to, construction schedules, capital and operating costs, and labour availability, among others.

There is no assurance that we can access and maintain the infrastructure we need and many critical sites have only single road access (that could be closed for reasons beyond our control such as accidents or adverse weather). There is also no assurance that, where necessary, we will be able to obtain rights of way, raw materials and government authorizations and permits to construct, or upgrade the same, at a reasonable cost, in a timely manner, or at all.

Our access to infrastructure and the commodities discussed below may be interrupted by natural causes, such as drought, floods, wildfires, earthquakes and other weather phenomena, or man-made causes, such as blockades, sabotage, conflicts, government issues, political events, protests, rationing or competing uses. For example, the Stratoni mine experienced a fall of ground on June 27, 2021. There were no injuries, however, an investigation revealed several other locations with similar ground support conditions. In line with strict safety protocols, operations at Stratoni were suspended during July and August of 2021 to remediate ground support conditions.

75

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Mining resumed at Stratoni in September 2021 but was suspended again at the end of 2021 as the mine transitions to care and maintenance. While we will evaluate resuming operations subject to exploration success and positive results of further technical and economic review, there is no assurance that such incidents may not occur again at the Stratoni mine or at other of Eldorado's mines. Starting in late May 2023, wildfires in the Abitibi region impacted operations at Lamaque and a number of shifts were suspended. We re-sequenced the maintenance schedule and devised an alternative route to safely get employees to the Triangle underground. Heavy rainfall occurred at Kisladag through May and early June 2023 – the excess water percolated through the heap, selectively mobilizing fines and creating a less permeable layer, affecting the leach kinetics on our heap leach pads. This water was collected in our storage ponds and resulted in a higher volume of lower tenor solution to process. affected the leach kinetics on our heap leach pads and resulted in a higher volume of lower tenor solution to process. Our inability to obtain or build and to maintain adequate and continuous access to infrastructure and substantial amounts of commodities, power and water, at a reasonable cost, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price. See also “Climate Change”

Power and Water

Our mining operations use substantial volumes of water and power during extraction and processing. Our ability to obtain secure supplies of power and water at a reasonable cost depends on a number of factors that may be out of our control, including global and regional supply and demand, political and economic conditions and problems affecting local supplies, among others.

There is no assurance that we will be able to secure the required supplies of power and water on reasonable terms or at all and, if we are unable to do so or there is an interruption in the supplies we do obtain or a material increase in prices, then it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Commodities and Consumables

Our business operations use a significant amount of commodities, consumables and other materials. Prices for diesel fuel, steel, concrete, chemicals (including explosives, lime and cyanide) and other materials, commodities and consumables required for our operations can be volatile and price changes can be substantial, occur over short periods of time and are affected by factors beyond our control. Prices for electricity, fuel, and other materials, commodities and consumables required for our operations experienced substantial increases during 2022 amid supply concerns caused by, among other things, financial and trade sanctions against Russia. These cost increases may be prolonged and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Higher costs for, or tighter supplies of, construction materials like steel and concrete can affect the timing and cost of our development projects, including Skouries.

If there is a significant and sustained increase in the cost of certain commodities, we may decide that it is not economically feasible to continue some or all of our commercial production and development activities, and this could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

We may maintain significant inventories of operating consumables, based on the frequency and reliability of the delivery process for such consumables and anticipated variations in regular use. We depend on suppliers to meet our needs for these commodities; however, sometimes no source for such commodities may be available. If the rates of consumption for such commodities vary from expected rates significantly or delivery is delayed for any reason, we may need to find a new source or negotiate with existing sources to increase supply. If any shortages are not rectified in a timely manner, it may result in reduced recovery or delays in restoring optimal operating conditions.

Higher worldwide demand for critical resources, such as drilling equipment and tires, could affect our ability to acquire such resources and lead to delays in delivery and unanticipated cost increases, which could have an effect on our operating costs, capital expenditures and production schedules.

Further, we rely on certain key third-party suppliers and contractors for equipment, raw materials and services used in, and the provision of services necessary for, the development, construction and continuing operation of our

76

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

assets. As a result, our operations are subject to a number of risks, some of which are outside of our control, including negotiating agreements with suppliers and contractors on acceptable terms, and the inability to replace a supplier or contractor and its equipment, raw materials or services if either party terminates the agreement, among others.

The occurrence of one or more of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Currency Risk

We sell gold in U.S. dollars, but incur costs in several currencies, including U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, Turkish Lira, Euros and Romanian Lei. Any change in the value of any of these currencies against the U.S. dollar can change production costs and capital expenditures, which can affect future cash flows, business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price and lead to higher operation, construction, development and other costs than anticipated. As of December 31, 2023, approximately 80% of Eldorado's cash, cash equivalents and term deposits was held in U.S. dollars.

We have a risk management policy that contemplates potential hedging of our foreign exchange exposure to reduce the risk associated with currency fluctuations. During 2023, we entered into zero-cost collars to reduce the risk associated with fluctuations of the Euro and Canadian dollar at the Olympias mine and Lamaque operations, respectively. In August and October 2023, the Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to fix the U.S. Dollar to Euro exchange rate for a portion of the Company's equity commitment for the Skouries project. In December 2022, we announced that Hellas had entered into an interest rate swap, covering 70% of its variable interest rate exposure, in accordance with the terms of our Term Facility. Hellas also entered into foreign exchange hedging arrangements to fix U.S. dollars to Euros for a portion of the Term Facility repayments.

These derivatives set a band within which we expect to be able to protect against currency movements, either above or below specific strike prices. There is no assurance that Eldorado will be able to obtain hedging on reasonable terms in the future or that any hedges that may be put in place will mitigate these risks or that they will not cause us to experience less favourable economic outcomes than we would have experienced if no hedges were in place. For example, the Turkish Lira lost approximately 57% of its value against the U.S. dollar in 2023 and volatility remains a possibility in the future. While the ultimate impact of recent currency fluctuations impacting the Turkish Lira is difficult to predict and depends on factors that are evolving beyond our control, these and other impacts of foreign exchange exposure could also have the effect of heightening certain of the other risks described under "Foreign Operations", “Credit Risk” and "Government Regulation".

The table below show our assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar at December 31, 2023. We recognized a gain of $16.0 million on foreign exchange from continuing operations in 2023, compared to a gain of $9.7 million from continuing operations in 2022.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rates determine how much interest the Company pays on its debt, and how much is earned on cash and cash equivalent balances, which can affect future cash flows.

The senior notes have a fixed interest rate of 6.25%. Borrowings under the Fourth ARCA are at variable rates of interest based on SOFR and the spread adjustment based on the tenor. Draws on the Fourth ARCA are at variable rates of interest which expose the Company to interest rate risk. At December 31, 2023, no amounts were drawn under the Fourth ARCA.

The Company may enter into interest rate swaps in the future, involving the exchange of floating for fixed rate interest payments, in order to reduce interest rate volatility. However, there is no assurance that Eldorado will be able to obtain interest rate swaps on reasonable terms or that any interest rate swaps that may be put in place will mitigate these risks or that they will not cause us to experience less favourable economic outcomes than we would have experienced if we had no such swaps in place.

After years of historically low interest rates, in 2022 central banks around the world have raised interest rates in an effort to combat inflation. Interest rate increases continued throughout the first half of 2023. To the extent inflation remains elevated, central banks around the world may choose to hold or further increase interest rates from where they currently are. Where interest rates remain elevated, this may impact the Company’s ability to take on additional indebtedness at favourable rates, or refinance existing indebtedness at rates similar to those previously offered to the Company. For example, the Company’s Fourth ARCA will need to be refinanced in 2025. Failure to secure additional indebtedness at favourable rates, or refinancing existing indebtedness like the Fourth ARCA at similar rates to what existing prior to maturity, could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Tax Matters

We operate and have operated in a number of countries, each of which has its own tax regime to which we are subject. The tax regime and the enforcement policies of tax administrators in each of these countries are complicated and may change from time to time, all of which are beyond our control. Our investments into these countries, importation of goods and material, land use, expenditures, sales of gold and other products, income, repatriation of money and all other aspects of our investments and operations can be taxed, and there is no certainty as to which areas of our operations will be assessed or taxed from time to time or at what rates.

78

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Our tax residency and the tax residency of our subsidiaries (both current and past) are affected by a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control, including the application and interpretation of the relevant tax laws and treaties. If we or our subsidiaries are ever assessed to be a non-resident in the jurisdictions that we or our subsidiaries report or have reported or are otherwise assessed, or are deemed to be resident (for the purposes of tax) in another jurisdiction, we may be liable to pay additional taxes. In addition, we have entered into various arrangements regarding the sale of mineral products or mineral assets, which may be subject to unexpected tax treatment. If such taxes were to become payable, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

We endeavor to structure, and restructure from time to time, our corporate organization in a commercially efficient manner and if any such planning effort is considered by a taxation authority to constitute tax avoidance, then this could result in increased taxes and tax penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

New laws and regulations or new interpretations of or amendments to laws, regulations or enforcement policy relating to tax laws or tax agreements with governmental authorities, if proposed and enacted, may affect our current financial condition and could result in higher taxes being payable by us.

There is also the potential for a change in the tariff arrangements in the countries in which Eldorado operates, as is the case for the Chinese importation specification for concentrate imports set out in the Industry Standard. There is no assurance that our current financial condition will not change in the future due to such changes. See also “Environmental”.

Dividends

While we have in place a policy for the payment of dividends on common shares of Eldorado Gold, there is no certainty as to the amount of any dividend or that any dividend may be declared in the future.

Our potential future investments will require significant funds for capital expenditures and our operating cash flow may not be sufficient to meet all of such expenditures. As a result, new sources of capital may be needed to meet the funding requirements of such investments, fund our ongoing business activities, fund construction and operation of potential future projects and various exploration projects, fund share repurchase transactions and pay dividends. If we are unable to obtain financing or service existing or future debt we could be required to reduce, suspend or eliminate or dividend payments or any future share repurchase transactions.

Reclamation and Long-Term Obligations

We are required by various governments in jurisdictions in which we operate to provide financial assurance sufficient to allow a third party to implement approved closure and reclamation plans if we are unable to do so. The relevant laws governing the determination of the scope and cost of the closure and reclamation obligations and the amount and forms of financial assurance required are complex and vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

As of December 31, 2023, Eldorado has provided the appropriate regulatory authorities with non-financial and financial letters of credit of EUR 58.2 million and CDN $0.4 million, respectively. The letters of credit were issued to secure certain obligations in connection with mine closure obligations in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. The amount and nature of such financial assurance are dependent upon a number of factors, including our financial condition and reclamation cost estimates. Changes to these amounts, as well as the nature of the collateral to be provided, could significantly increase our costs, making the maintenance and development of existing and new mines less economically feasible. Regulatory authorities may require further financial assurance and, to the extent that the value of the collateral provided is or becomes insufficient to cover the amount that we are required to post, we could be required to replace or supplement the existing security with more expensive forms of security. This could include cash deposits, which would reduce cash available for our operations and development activities. There is no guarantee that, in the future, we will be able to maintain or add to current levels of financial assurance as we may not have sufficient capital resources to do so.

In addition, climate change could lead to changes in the physical risks posed to our operations, which could result in changes in our closure and reclamation plans to address such risks. Any modifications to our closure and reclamation plans that may be required to address physical climate risks may materially increase the costs

79

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

associated with implementing closure and reclamation at any or all of our active or inactive mine sites and the financial assurance obligations related to the same. For more information on the physical risks of climate change, see the risk factor entitled "Climate Change".

Although we have currently made provision for certain of our reclamation obligations, there is no assurance that these provisions will be adequate in the future. Failure to provide the required financial assurance for reclamation could potentially result in the closure of one or more of our operations, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisitions

Although we actively seek acquisition opportunities that are consistent with our acquisition and growth strategy, we are not certain that we will be able to identify suitable candidates that are available at a reasonable price, complete any acquisition, or integrate any acquired business into our operations successfully. Acquisitions can involve a number of special risks, circumstances or legal liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Acquisitions may be made by using available cash, incurring debt, issuing common shares or other securities, or any combination of the foregoing. This could limit our flexibility to raise capital, to operate, explore and develop our properties and make other acquisitions, and it could further dilute and decrease the trading price of our common shares. When we evaluate a potential acquisition, we cannot be certain that we will have correctly identified and managed the risks and costs inherent in that business.

We have discussions and engage in other activities with possible acquisition targets from time to time, and each of these activities could be in a different stage of development. There is no assurance that any potential transaction will be completed and the target integrated with our operations, systems, management and culture successfully in an efficient, effective and timely manner or that the expected bases or sources of synergies will in fact produce the benefits anticipated. In addition, synergies assume certain long term realized gold and other metals prices. If actual prices are below such assumed prices, this could adversely affect the synergies to be realized. If we do not successfully manage our acquisition and growth strategy, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

We continue to pursue opportunities to acquire advanced exploration assets that are consistent with our strategy. At any given time, discussions and activities with respect to such possible opportunities may be in process on such initiatives, each at different stages of due diligence. From time to time, we may acquire securities of, or an interest in, companies; and we may enter into acquisitions or other transactions with other companies.

Transactions involving acquisitions have inherent risks, including, accurately assessing the value, strengths, weaknesses, contingent and other liabilities and potential profitability of potential acquisitions; limited opportunity for and effectiveness of due diligence; ability to achieve identified and anticipated operating and financial synergies; unanticipated costs, liabilities and write-offs including higher capital and operating costs than had been assumed at the time of acquisition, and diversion of management attention from existing business, among others.

Any of these factors or other risks could result in us not realizing the benefits anticipated from acquiring other properties or companies, and could have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow and on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Acquisitions can pose challenges in implementing the required processes, procedures and controls in the new operations. Companies that we acquire may not have disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting that are as thorough or effective as those required by the securities laws that currently apply to us.

Due to the nature of certain proposed transactions, it is possible that shareholders may not have the right to evaluate the merits or risks of any future acquisition, except as required by applicable laws and stock exchange rules.

80

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Dispositions

When we decide to sell certain assets or projects, we may encounter difficulty in finding buyers or executing alternative exit strategies on acceptable terms in a timely manner, which could delay the accomplishment of our strategic objectives. For example, delays in obtaining tax rulings and regulatory approvals or clearances, and disruptions or volatility in the capital markets may impact our ability to complete proposed dispositions. Alternatively, we may dispose of a business at a price or on terms that are less than we had anticipated. After reaching an agreement with a buyer or seller for the disposition of a business, we may be required to obtain necessary regulatory and governmental approvals on acceptable terms and pre-closing conditions may need to be satisfied, all of which may prevent us from completing the transaction. Dispositions may impact our production, mineral reserves and resources and our future growth and financial conditions. Despite the disposition of divested businesses, we may continue to be held responsible for actions taken while we controlled and operated the business. Dispositions may also involve continued financial involvement in the divested business, such as through continuing equity ownership, guarantees, indemnities or other financial obligations. Under these arrangements, performance by the divested businesses or other conditions outside our control could affect our future financial results.

Regulated Substances

The transportation and use of certain substances that we use in our operations are regulated by the governments in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Two obvious examples are explosives and cyanide. Regulations may include restricting where the substance can be purchased; requiring a certain government department to approve or handle the purchase and transport of the substances; and restricting the amount of these substances that can be kept on-site at any time, among others.

Eldorado Gold is a signatory to the Cyanide Code, which commits us to mandating that our sites adhere to recognized best practice for the purchase, transportation, use and disposal of cyanide. Each signatory site is audited every three years to assess continued compliance. While we have a good understanding of the restrictions in the various jurisdictions, these laws may change, or the responsible parties within the government may change or not be available at a critical time when they are required to be involved in our process. This may result in delays in normal operation, or downtime, and may have an effect on our operating results in more extreme cases. The Lamaque operation has conducted a self-assessment and is currently working toward full Cyanide Code certification.

Equipment

Our operations are reliant on significant amounts of both large and small equipment that is critical to the development, construction and operation of our projects. Failures or unavailability of equipment could cause interruptions or delays in our development and construction or interruptions or reduced production in our operations (particularly where they exceed our anticipated/expected targets). These risks may be increased by the age of certain equipment. Equipment related risks include delays in repair or replacement of equipment due to unavailability or insufficient spare parts inventory; delays in repair or replacement of equipment due to a shortage of skilled labour at the Company, its equipment suppliers, or key service providers (particularly as a result of growing labour shortages throughout the mining industry and related sectors); repeated or unexpected equipment failures; and restrictions on transportation and installation of large equipment, including delays or inability to obtain required permits for such transportation or installation, among others.

Delays in construction or development of a project or periods of downtime or reductions in operations or efficiency that result from the above risks or remediation of an interruption or inefficiency in production capability could require us to make large expenditures to repair, replace or redesign equipment. All of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Co-ownership of Our Properties

Mining projects are often conducted through an unincorporated joint venture or a co-owned incorporated joint venture company. Co-ownership often requires unanimous approval of the parties or their representatives for certain fundamental decisions like an increase (or decrease) in registered capital, a merger, division, dissolution, amendment of the constitutional documents, and pledge of the assets, which means that each co-owner has a right

81

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

to veto any of these decisions, which could lead to a deadlock. We are subject to a number of additional risks associated with co-ownership, including disagreement with a co-owner about how to develop, operate or finance the project; that a co-owner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals that are, or become, inconsistent with our business interests or goals; and that a co-owner may not comply with the agreements governing our relationship with them, among others.

Some of our interests are, and future interests may be, through co-owned companies established under and governed by the laws of their respective countries.

If a co-owner is a state-sector entity, then its actions and priorities may be dictated by government or other policies instead of purely commercial considerations. Decisions of a co-owner may have an adverse effect on the results of our operations in respect of the projects to which the applicable co-ownership relates.

Unavailability of Insurance

Where practical, Eldorado obtains insurance against certain risks in the operation of our business, but coverage has exclusions and limitations. There is no assurance that the insurance will be adequate to cover any liabilities, or that it will continue to be available, and at terms we believe are commercially acceptable.

In some instances, certain insurance may become unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of coverage. Significantly increased costs could lead Eldorado to decide to reduce or possibly eliminate, coverage. In addition, insurance is purchased from a number of third-party insurers, often in layered insurance arrangements, some of whom may discontinue providing insurance coverage for their own policy or strategic reasons. For example, insurance against risks such as loss of title to mineral property, environmental pollution, or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is generally not available to us or other companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms, particularly for several jurisdictions in which Eldorado operates. In the event any such insurance is or becomes unavailable, our overall risk exposure could be increased. Losses from these uninsured events may cause us to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain of our directors also serve as directors of other companies involved in natural resource exploration and development, which may result in a conflict of interest in the allocation of their time between Eldorado and such other companies. There is also a possibility that such other companies may compete with us for the acquisition of assets. Consequently, there exists the possibility for such directors to be in a position of conflict over which company should pursue a particular acquisition opportunity. If any such conflict of interest arises, then a director who has a conflict must disclose the conflict to a meeting of our directors and must abstain from and will be unable to participate in discussion or decisions pertaining to the matter. In appropriate cases, Eldorado Gold will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict. However, conflicts may not be readily apparent or only with the benefit of hindsight, and a conflicted director may exercise his or her judgment in a manner detrimental to Eldorado's interests.

Privacy Legislation

Eldorado is subject to privacy legislation in various countries in which we operate, including the European Union's General Data Protection Regulations ("GDPR") and Quebec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector ("Quebec Privacy Act"), which was recently amended by Bill 64, an Act to modernize legislative provisions as regards the protection of personal information ("Bill 64").

The GDPR is more stringent than its predecessor, the Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC). Similarly, Bill 64 brings significant and more stringent amendments to the Quebec Privacy Act and will come into force gradually over a 3-year period (some of which came into force in 2022 and 2023, and the remainder of which is expected to come into force in 2024). Eldorado is required to develop and implement programs that will evidence compliance with each, as applicable, or face significant fines and penalties for breaches. For example, companies that breach the GDPR can be fined up to 4% of their annual global turnover or €20 million, whichever is greater, while companies that breach the amended Québec Privacy Act can be fined up to 4% of their annual global turnover or

82

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

CDN $25 million, whichever is greater. Such breaches may lead to costly fines and may have an adverse effect on governmental relations, our business, reputation, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Reputational

Damage to Eldorado's reputation can be the result of the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, and could include any negative publicity, whether true or not. Although we believe that we operate in a manner that is respectful to all stakeholders and take care in protecting our image and reputation, we do not have control over how we are perceived by others. Any reputation loss could result in decreased investor confidence and increased challenges in developing and maintaining community relations, which may have adverse effects on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

Competition

We compete for attractive mineral properties and projects with other entities that have substantial financial resources, operational experience, technical capabilities, skilled labour and political strengths, including state owned and domestically domiciled entities, in some of the countries in which we now, or may in future wish to, conduct our business and operations.

We may not be able to prevail over these competitors in obtaining mineral properties that are producing or capable of producing metals, in attracting and retaining the skilled labour required to develop and operate our projects, or to compete effectively for merger and acquisition targets, or do so on terms we consider acceptable. This may limit our growth and our ability to replace or expand our mineral reserves and mineral resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price.

The reader should carefully review each of the risk factors set out in the Company's most recently filed AIF, in respect of the year ended December 31, 2022 and those to be set out in the Company's AIF in respect of the year ended December 31, 2023 which risk factors provide a detailed discussion of the foregoing risks as well as a detailed discussion of other relevant risks. The discussion under “Risk Factors in Our Business” in such AIFs filed, or to be filed, on SEDAR+ under the Company name, are incorporated by reference in this document.

Other Information and Advisories

Financial Statements Basis of Preparation

The Company's consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in compliance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Critical Accounting Measurements and Judgments

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each period end. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Significant areas requiring the use of management assumptions, estimates and judgements include the valuation of property, plant and equipment and goodwill, estimated recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources, inventory, asset retirement obligations and current and deferred taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Outlined below are some of the areas which require management to make significant judgements, estimates and assumptions.

(i) Valuation of property, plant and equipment and goodwill

Property, plant and equipment and goodwill are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. Goodwill is tested at least annually.

Calculating the recoverable amount, including estimated fair value less cost of disposal ("FVLCD") of cash-generating units ("CGUs") for property, plant and equipment and goodwill, requires management to make estimates and assumptions with respect to discount rates, future production levels including amount of recoverable reserves, resources and exploration potential, operating and capital costs, long-term metal prices, and estimates of the fair value of mineral properties beyond proven and probable reserves.

Changes in any of the assumptions or estimates used in determining the recoverable amount could result in additional impairment or reversal of impairment recognized.

Mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates are based on various assumptions relating to operating matters, including, with respect to production costs, mining and processing recoveries, cut-off grades, as well as assumptions relating to long-term commodity prices and exchange rates and capital costs. Cost estimates are based primarily on feasibility study estimates or operating history. Estimates are prepared under supervision of appropriately qualified persons, but will be impacted by forecasted commodity prices, exchange rates, capital and production costs and recoveries amongst other factors. Estimated recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources are used to determine the depreciation of property, plant and equipment at operating mine sites, in accounting for deferred stripping costs, in performing impairment testing and for forecasting the timing of the payment of decommissioning and restoration costs. Therefore, changes in the assumptions used could impact the carrying value of assets, depreciation and impairment charges recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and the carrying value of the asset retirement obligation.

84

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

(ii) Inventory

Inventories are measured at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. The determination of net realizable value involves the use of estimates. The net realizable value of inventories is calculated as the estimated price at the time of eventual sale based on prevailing and forecast metal prices less estimated future costs to convert the inventories into saleable form and associated selling costs. The net realizable value of inventories is assessed at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the estimates of net realizable value may result in a write-down of inventories or a reversal of a previous write-down.

In determining the valuation of heap leach ore inventories, the Company makes estimates of recoverable ounces on the leach pads based on quantities of ore placed on the leach pads, the grade of ore placed on the leach pads and an estimated recovery rate. Actual timing and ultimate recovery of gold contained on the leach pads can differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates of recoverable ounces on the leach pads can impact the Company’s ability to recover the carrying amount of the inventories and may result in a write-down of inventories.

(iii) Asset retirement obligation

The asset retirement obligation provision represents management's best estimate of the present value of future cash outflows required to settle the liability which reflect estimates of future costs, inflation, requirements of the relevant legal and regulatory frameworks and the timing of restoration and rehabilitation activities. Estimated future cash outflows are discounted using a risk-free rate based on U.S. Treasury bond rates. Changes to asset retirement obligation estimates are recorded with a corresponding change to the related item of property, plant and equipment, or to the statements of operations if there is no related property, plant and equipment. Adjustments to the carrying amounts of related items of property, plant and equipment can result in a change to future depreciation expense.

(iv) Current and deferred taxes

Judgements and estimates of recoverability are required in assessing whether deferred tax assets recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position are recoverable which is based on an assessment of the ability to use the underlying future tax deductions before they expire against future taxable income. Deferred tax liabilities arising from temporary differences on investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are recognized unless the reversal of the temporary differences is not expected to occur in the foreseeable future and can be controlled, which requires judgement.

Assumptions about the generation of future taxable earnings and repatriation of retained earnings depend on management’s estimates of future production and sales volumes, commodity prices, reserves, operating costs, decommissioning and restoration costs, capital expenditures, dividends and other capital management transactions.

The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions and judgement is required in the application of income tax legislation in these jurisdictions. These estimates and judgements are subject to risk and uncertainty and could result in an adjustment to current and deferred tax provisions and a corresponding increase or decrease to earnings or loss for the period.

85

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Upcoming Changes

(a) Current adoption of new accounting standards

The following amendments to existing standards have been adopted by the Company commencing January 1, 2023:

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting Policies

In February 2021, the IASB published a narrow scope amendment to IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements' and IFRS Practice Statement 2. The amendments replace all instances of the term 'significant accounting policies' with 'material accounting policy information', requiring companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. The amendments define what is 'material accounting information' (being information that, when considered together with other information included in an entity's financial statements, can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general-purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements) and explain how to identify when accounting policy information is material. The amendments apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, and applied prospectively. The Company adopted these amendments, which did not result in any changes to the Company's accounting policies themselves, however they impacted the accounting policy information disclosed in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company's material accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3.

Amendments to IAS 12: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a single transaction

In May 2021, the IASB published a narrow scope amendment to IAS 12 Income Taxes. In September 2021, IAS 12 was revised to reflect this amendment. The amendment narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences such as deferred taxes on leases and decommissioning obligations. As a result, companies need to recognize a deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability for these temporary differences arising on initial recognition. The amendment applies for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, and applied retrospectively. The Company previously accounted for deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities on leases and asset retirement obligations resulting in the same outcome as under the amendments. Therefore, there was no material impact on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this amendment.

Amendments to IAS 12: International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules

In May 2023, the IASB issued 'International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules' which amends the scope of IAS 12 to clarify that the standard applies to income taxes arising from tax law enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Pillar Two model rules published by The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), including tax law that implements qualified domestic minimum top up taxes described in those rules. The Company has adopted the amendment to IAS 12 in the current year. There was no material impact on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this amendment. Refer to Note 19 for further information.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

(b) New Standards issued and not yet effective

Below are new standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations that have been issued and are not yet effective. The Company plans to apply the new standards or interpretations in the annual period for which they are effective.

Classification of liabilities as current or non-current

In January 2020, the IASB published narrow scope amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The narrow scope amendment clarifies that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the amendments on its consolidated financial statements.

Non-current liabilities with covenants

In October 2022, the IASB published a narrow scope amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. After reconsidering certain aspects of the 2020 amendments, noted above in 'Classification of liabilities as current or non-current',the IASB reconfirmed that only covenants with which a company must comply on or before the reporting date affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current. Covenants with which the Company must comply after the reporting date do not affect a liability’s classification at that date. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and applied retrospectively. The Company has considered the amendment and concluded that there is no material impact on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this amendment.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information is gathered and reported to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions about public disclosure.

Management, including the CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023, as defined in the rules of the SEC and Canadian Securities Administrators. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted by the Company under United States and Canadian securities legislation was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in those rules.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Management, including the CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the United States Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and NI 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, and uses the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013) framework on Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements because of inherent limitations. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the Company’s policies and procedures. Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2023.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and has expressed their opinion in their report included with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter and for the year ended December 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

87

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Limitations of Controls and Procedures

Management, including the CEO and CFO, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources Estimates and Related Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors

The Company's mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates for Kisladag, Lamaque, Efemcukuru, Olympias, Perama Hill, Perama South, Skouries, Stratoni, Piavitsa, Sapes, Certej, and Ormaque, are based on the definitions adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum, and in compliance with NI 43-101. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. These standards differ from the requirements of the SEC that are applicable to domestic U.S. companies. The reader may not be able to compare the mineral reserve and mineral resources information in this MD&A with similar information made public by domestic U.S. companies. The reader should not assume that:

•the mineral reserves defined in this MD&A qualify as reserves under SEC standards

•the measured and indicated mineral resources in this MD&A will ever be converted to reserves; and

•the inferred mineral resources in this MD&A are economically mineable, or will ever be upgraded to a higher category.

Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The Company most recently completed its Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources annual review process with an effective date of September 30, 2023, a summary of which was published on December 13, 2023.

Value Beyond Proven and Probable Reserves ("VBPP")

On acquisition of a mineral property, the Company prepares an estimate of the fair value of the exploration potential of that property and records this amount as an asset, called value beyond proven and probable, as at the date of acquisition. As part of its annual business cycle, the Company prepares estimates of proven and probable reserves for each mineral property. The change in reserves, net of production, is used to determine the amount to be converted from VBPP to proven and probable reserves. Estimates of VBPP are also used in our impairment analyses.

Qualified Persons

Except as otherwise noted, Simon Hille, FAusIMM, Executive Vice President, Technical Services and Operations, is the Qualified Person under NI 43-101 responsible for preparing and supervising the preparation of the scientific or technical information contained in this MD&A and verifying the technical data disclosed in this document relating to our operating mines and development projects. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves.

Jessy Thelland, géo (OGQ No. 758), a member in good standing of the Ordre des Géologues du Québec, is the qualified person as defined in NI 43-101 responsible for, and has verified and approved, the scientific and technical disclosure contained in this MD&A for the Quebec projects.

Forward-looking Statements and Information

Certain of the statements made and information provided in this MD&A are forward-looking statements or 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 “anticipates”, “believes”, “budgets”, “continue”, “commitment”, “confident”, “estimates”, “expects”, “forecasts”, “guidance”, “intends”, “outlook”, “plans”, “potential”, “projected”, “prospective”, or “schedule” or the negatives thereof 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 and forward-looking information by their nature are based on assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or information.

We have made certain assumptions about the forward-looking statements and information, including assumptions about: timing, cost and results of our construction and development activities, improvements and exploration; the future price of gold and other commodities; the global concentrate market; 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 (including increased precipitation at Kisladag); consistency of

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

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). With respect to the Skouries project, we have made additional assumptions about inflation rates; labour productivity, rates and expected hours; the scope and timing related to the awarding of key contract packages and approval thereon; expected scope of project management frameworks; our ability to continue to execute our plans relating to Skouries on the existing project timeline and consistent with the current planned project scope (including our anticipated progress regarding the IEWMF and two test stopes); the timeliness of shipping for important or critical items (such as the framing for filter press plates); our ability to continue to access our project funding and remain in compliance with all covenants and contractual commitments in relation thereto; our ability to obtain and maintain all required approvals and permits, both overall and in a timely manner; no further archaeological investigations being required, the future price of gold, copper and other commodities; and the broader community engagement and social climate in respect of the project. In addition, except where otherwise stated, we have assumed a continuation of existing business operations on substantially the same basis as exists at the time of this MD&A

Even though our management believes that the assumptions made and the 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.

Furthermore, should one or more of the risks, uncertainties or other factors materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements or information. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others, the following: 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 hyrdogeological 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 (SOX); 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; corruption, bribery and sanctions; information and operational 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 as well as those risk factors discussed in the sections titled “Forward-Looking Information and Risks” and “Risk Factors in Our Business” 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, which discussion is incorporated by reference in this MD&A, 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 you understand management’s current views of our near- and longer-term prospects, and it may not be appropriate for other purposes.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023

There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements or information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements or information contained herein.

Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise or inaccurate and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on FOFI. Eldorado’s actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, FOFI. Eldorado has included FOFI in order to provide readers with a more complete perspective on Eldorado’s future operations and management’s current expectations relating to Eldorado’s future performance.
