Canada
Second quarter gold production at Lamaque continued on track with both throughput and grade in-line with the plan to deliver annual guidance of 140,000 to 150,000 ounces. The decline connecting the Sigma mill with the Triangle underground mine is progressing ahead of schedule
and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter. Infill and expansion drilling continued during the quarter at the recently announced Ormaque gold resource.

Turkey
Kisladag performed well in the second quarter with gold production consistent with the plan to deliver 2021 guidance of 140,000 to 150,000 ounces. The two additional CIC trains that were commissioned in the first quarter have performed as planned and are now fully operational. The
installation of a new carbon regeneration kiln was completed in the second quarter and is expected to support improved gold recoveries in the circuit. The commissioning of the highpressure grinding roll (HPGR) circuit remains on track.
At Efemcukuru, gold production, throughput, and average gold grade were in-line with guidance.
In addition to the current income tax expense relating to profits from mining operations in Turkey for the quarter, the Company estimates an additional $14-16 million in current tax expense in the second quarter. This primarily included withholding tax and a retroactive adjustment for the
previously announced tax rate increase, effective at the start of the year. However, theseadditional taxes are fully offset by the Turkish investment tax credit used in the second quarter.

Greece
In the second quarter, operations at Olympias were affected by work slowdowns as progress was made on transformation efforts in Greece. As previously disclosed, the Company is implementing a wide-ranging, sustained effort to optimize the Greek operations that touches every part of the business in Greece, from employee education and training, to physical plant and business systems upgrades. Implementing this scale of change at an existing operation like Olympias is challenging and entails risk, which is part of the transformation plan. Eldorado expects this effort will lead to sustainable continuous improvement over the balance of the year. The long-term benefits in safety, culture, and productivity will result in a stronger operation with greatly enhanced economic opportunities.
Eldorado has been engaged in transparent, constructive discussions with key stakeholders, including employees, unions and the government, and is confident that with their cooperation the Company will make meaningful progress in building a culture of growth, best practice, and continuous improvement in Greece. Eldorado’s 2021 production guidance at Olympias remains unchanged at this time.
Eldorado remains committed to responsibly developing the Kassandra mines to create value for all stakeholders including job creation, investment into local communities and opportunities for local suppliers, while maintaining high environmental standards.

Depreciation
Eldorado is forecasting full year 2021 depreciation expense to be $200-215 million.
