Eldorado Gold Corp. Press Release

Eldorado Gold Corp. Press Release

Eldorado Gold Corporation responded to press reports in Asia of a possible business combination between Eldorado and Centerra Gold Inc.

From time-to-time Eldorado engages in discussions with industry participants involving possible transactions that may enhance shareholder value. Eldorado’s long-standing policy is not to comment on such discussions until such time as a transaction has sufficiently advanced to require disclosure under Canadian securities laws and stock exchange requirements. Eldorado does not intend to refute rumours on an ongoing basis.

Although Eldorado has no plans to alter this long-standing policy, in light of today’s reported statements, Eldorado feels it is necessary to respond.

While Eldorado has been involved in discussions with Centerra regarding a possible business combination, these discussions have been discontinued.

Eldorado is a gold producing and exploration company actively growing businesses in Brazil, Turkey and China. We operate the Sao Bento Mine, Kisladag Mine and Tanjianshan Mine. With our international expertise in mining, finance and project development, together with highly skilled and dedicated staff, we believe that Eldorado is well positioned to grow in value as we create and pursue new opportunities.

ON BEHALF OF ELDORADO GOLD CORPORATION

Paul N. Wright, President and Chief Executive Officer
