ELDORADO GOLD ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF SKOURIES MINE ENERGIZATION
Eldorado Gold
Corp.'s Skouries mine in northern Greece has been successfully energized following completion of the permanent connection to the Greek national power grid following final inspection, testing and approval by the Greek transmission authority.
"Site energization is an important step in advancing Skouries toward ramp up to steady-state operations and reflects the dedication and commitment of our team," said George Burns, chief executive officer. "The connection to permanent grid power supports the ongoing commissioning and ramp-up of key systems across the site, and provides the long-term power infrastructure required for the operation. Together with the recent achievement of first copper-gold concentrate production, this achievement demonstrates the strong progress being made at Skouries as we continue advancing one of Europe's largest copper-gold projects toward commercial production."
Connection to the national grid provides a reliable long-term power source for the operation and supports the continued advancement of processing and mining activities as the project progresses toward commercial production expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Main substation
Skouries is expected to produce on average 140,000 ounces of gold and 67 million pounds of copper annually over the life of mine.
