2007 Results

The consolidated net profit for 2007 was $35.4 million or $0.10 per
share compared with a net profit of $3.3 million or $0.01 per share for
2006; a net loss of $49.1 million or ($0.17) per share in 2005. Our
gain in 2007 is a result of higher gold prices, increased gold
production from our new mines and lower average production costs.

In 2007, we sold 266,012 ounces of gold for $179.3 million at an
average realized selling price of $674 per ounce. This compares with
2006 gold sales of 127,552 ounces of gold for $77.6 million at an
average realized selling price of $609 per ounce and with 2005 gold
sales of 66,804 ounces for $29.7 million at an average realized price
of $444 per ounce. Sales from Kisladag totaled 142,725 ounces of gold
at an average price of $660 per ounces while production cash costs
averaged $189 per ounce compared to 63,352 ounces at an average price
of $619 per ounce while production cash costs averaged $206 per ounce
in 2006. Sales from Tanjianshan totaled 112,646 ounces of gold at an
average price of $694 per ounces while production cash costs averaged
$288 per ounce. Sales from S�o Bento totaled 10,641 ounces of gold at
an average price of $649 compared to 64,200 ounces at an average price
of $598 in 2006.

Eldorado is in a strong financial position and at December 31, 2007 we
held $46.0 million in unrestricted cash and short-term deposits and
$74.0 million in a restricted account held against long term debt of
$65.1 million, bank indebtedness of $8.5 million in environmental and
electricity deposits with the Turkish authorities. We remain hedge
free.

In 2007 we produced 281,135 ounces of gold a 107 % increase over 2006
production of 135,653 ounces of gold and a 337% increase over 2005
production of 64,298 ounces of gold. The increased production was
attributable to increased production at Kisladag and the start of

at S�o Bento. In 2007 Tanjianshan produced 138,162 ounces of gold at an
average cash cost of $288 per ounce, 757,354 tonnes of ore were mined

The terms "Mineral Reserve", "Proven Mineral Reserve" and "Probable
Mineral Reserve" used in this release are Canadian mining terms as
defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 -- Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects under the guidelines set out in the
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM")
Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM
Council on August 20, 2000 as may be amended from time to time by the
CIM. These definitions differ from the definitions in the United States
Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC") Guide 7. In the United States,
a mineral reserve is defined as a part of a mineral deposit which could
be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time the
mineral reserve determination is made.

The terms "Mineral Resource", "Measured Mineral Resource", "Indicated
Mineral Resource", "Inferred Mineral Resource" used in this release are
Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with National
Instruction 43-101 -- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects
under the guidelines set out in the CIM Standards. Mineral Resources
which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic
viability.

For a detailed discussion of resource and reserve estimates and related
matters see the Company's reports, including the Annual Information
Form and FORM 40-F dated March 29, 2007 and technical reports filed
under the Company's name at www.sedar.com.

Note to U.S. Investors. While the terms "mineral resource", "measured
mineral resource," "indicated mineral resource", and "inferred mineral
resource" are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are
not defined terms under standards in the United States and normally are
not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed
with the SEC. As such, information contained in this report concerning
descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards
may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S
companies in SEC filings. With respect to "indicated mineral resource"
and "inferred mineral resource" there is a great amount of uncertainty
as to their existence and a great uncertainty as to their economic and
legal feasibility. It can not be assumed that all or any part of an
"indicated mineral resource" or "inferred mineral resource" will ever
be upgraded to a higher category. Investors are cautioned not to assume
that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever
be converted into reserves.

Certain of the statements made herein may contain forward-looking
statements or information within the meaning of the United States
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and forward looking
statements or information within the meaning of the Securities Act
(Ontario) . Such forward looking statements or information include, but
are not limited to statements or information with respect to unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual
results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry
results, to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements or information
are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, which could cause
actual events, or results to differ from those reflected in the
forward-looking statements or information. Should one or more of these
risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those
described in forward looking statements. Specific reference is made to
"Forward Looking Statements and Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual
Information Form and Form 40-F dated March 29, 2007. Forward-looking
statements herein include statements regarding the expectations and
beliefs of management. Such factors included, amongst others the
following: gold price volatility; impact of any hedging activities,
including margin limits and margin calls; discrepancies between actual
and estimated production, between actual and estimated reserves, and
between actual and estimated metallurgical recoveries; mining
operational risk; regulatory restrictions, including environmental
regulatory restrictions and liability; risks of sovereign investment;
speculative nature of gold exploration; dilution; competition; loss of
key employees; additional funding requirements; and defective title to
mineral claims or property, as well as those factors discussed in the
section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Information
Form and Form 40-F dated March 29, 2007. We do not expect to update
forward-looking statements continually as conditions change and you are
referred to the full discussion of the Company's business contained in
