EGO• Skouries project reaches first ore crushed
- Eldorado Gold reported first ore crushed at its Skouries copper-gold project in northern Greece, marking the start of staged commissioning.
- First copper-gold concentrate remains targeted for Q3 2026; commercial production is targeted for Q4 2026.
- Full site energization still depends on final testing, inspection, metering installation, and sign-off by the Greek power authority.
- Interim generators were added to support commissioning while grid energization is pending; full integrated plant operation requires grid power.
- Run-of-mine ore stockpiles reached about 3.9 million tonnes, intended to cover plant feed through 2026 and support ramp-up.
