Transaction Rational: A New Global Gold-Copper Leader
Positioned to deliver a leading growth profile, underpinned by two fully financed development projects – Skouries and McIlvenna Bay advancing toward commercial production in 2026. Expected to produce approximately 900k gold equivalent ounces in 2027(1).
Expected to generate approximately $3.1 billion of EBITDA(2) and $2.1 billion in free cash flow(3) in 2027. This robust long-term cash flow will fund growth initiatives, strengthen balance sheet, and support continued shareholder returns through dividend and share buyback programs, while maintaining financial flexibility through commodity.
Combined portfolio delivers balanced gold‑copper exposure (~77% gold, ~15% copper, ~8% other metals) across attractive mining jurisdictions in Canada, Greece, and Türkiye, providing jurisdictional and commodity diversification.
Eldorado will continue to accelerate high‑value organic growth opportunities. This includes advancing Foran’s high‑grade polymetallic Tesla zone as well as maximizing the exploration potential surrounding Eldorado’s existing operating and development assets.
With increased scale and trading liquidity, near‑term growth and enhanced Canadian exposure the combination will support a valuation re-rate opportunity.
Strong alignment across sustainability principles, carbon efficient practices, and a shared commitment to responsible mining will enable the combined company to focus on transparent sustainability performance and continued advancement in GHG emissions mitigation.
(1) Gold equivalent ounces (GEO): Based on public disclosure assuming street consensus analyst prices of US$3,965/oz Au, US$47.54/ oz Ag, US$5.02/lb Cu and US$1.26/lb Zn in 2027.
(2) EBITDA calculated as revenue based on public disclosure less cash operating costs based on street consensus analyst estimates as per S&P CapIQ.
(3) Free cash flow based on street consensus estimates as per FactSet, calculated as operating cash flow less capex.

Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information are by their nature based on a number of assumptions, that management considers reasonable. However, such assumptions involve both known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which, if proven to be inaccurate, may cause actual results, activities, performance or achievements may be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements or information. These include assumptions concerning: timing, cost and results of our construction and development activities, improvements and exploration; the future price of gold, copper and other commodities; exchange rates; anticipated values, costs, expenses and working capital requirements; production and metallurgical recoveries; mineral reserves and resources; our abilities to effectively use invested capital and unlock potential expansion opportunities across the portfolio; our ability to address the negative impacts of climate change and adverse weather; consistency of agglomeration and our ability to optimize it in the future; the cost of, and extent to which we use, essential consumable (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 of 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. In addition, except where otherwise stated, Eldorado has assumed a continuation of existing business operations on substantially rhe same basis as exists at the time of this news release. Even though we believe that the assumptions and expectations represented by such statements or information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statement or information will prove to be accurate. Many assumptions may be difficult to predict and are beyond our control. The information contained in the footnotes in this presentation with respect to estimates on free cash flow, EBITDA and NAV are key assumptions to the forward-looking metrics to which they relate.

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.
