Eldorado Gold has processed ore for the first time in the crushing plant at the Skouries copper‑gold project. The company affirms its target to commence first production of copper‑gold concentrate in Q3 2026 and commercial production in Q4 2026, provided final power supply and regulatory sign‑offs are completed. The open‑pit mine is advancing faster than planned, total stockpiles amount to about 3.9 million tonnes, and the share is trading near its 52‑week high. » More on de.investing.com

Eldorado Gold reports higher revenues and profitability in Q1 2026 driven by significantly higher gold prices, while production volumes fell 13% to 100,358 ounces and operating costs increased markedly. Adjusted net income and EBITDA rose substantially, but free cash flow was negative due to high investments in Skouries; excluding Skouries spending it would have been positive. Major projects Skouries (94% complete, start-up planned for Q3 2026) and McIlvenna Bay are driving diversification but raise capital expenditure and currency risks. Management changes (CEO George Burns departing, Christian Milau promoted) and cost pressure at operations such as Kışladağ and Efemçukuru remain near- to mid-term risks; management expects production to increase by 2027 as projects ramp up. » More on de.investing.com
