Review of Annual Financial Results
Profit attributable to shareholders of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased to $318.7 million, or $0.58 per share, compared to $221.0 million, or $0.41 per share in 2010. The following main factors impacted our profit for the year as compared to 2010:
-- Gold revenues increased $259.2 million, or 33% due to a 29% increase in
the average realized gold price and a 3% increase in gold sales volume;
iron ore revenues increased $48.5 million, reflecting the first full
year of production at Vila Nova
-- Production costs increased $68.5 million, or 25% due to a full year of
production at Vila Nova ($30.3 million - 2011, $4.3 million - 2010),
higher operating costs at Kisladag, and higher production taxes at
Tanjianshan and Jinfeng related to changes in laws governing mining
taxation
-- Depreciation and amortization increased $15.3 million, or 14% mainly as
a result of an increase in the depreciation rate at Jinfeng due to a
reduction in reserves, higher depreciation at White Mountain related to
higher sales volume, and higher depreciation at Vila Nova due to a full
year of operation ($4.7 million - 2011, $1.0 million - 2010)
-- Income tax expense increased $78.6 million or 90% due to:
1) higher taxable income; 2) withholding taxes paid on dividends from
the Company's Chinese and Turkish subsidiaries; and 3) the impact of the
weakening of the Turkish lira on the Company's tax asset base in Turkey.
Tax expense increased approximately $25.6 million ($0.05 per share) year
over year as a result of the impacts of items 2 and 3 above.

Annual updates - Operations
Kisladag
Gold production for 2011 of 284,648 ounces was 4%, or 10,056 ounces higher than 2010. Total tonnes placed on the leach pad per quarter increased as a result of the completion of the Phase III upgrade of the crushing circuit to 12.5 million tonnes per year. Gold inventory levels on the leach pad decreased by 38,940 ounces in 2011 as a result of intermediate leaching, begun in 2010. During 2011 a study was completed confirming the Company's expectation that the average recovery rate of all sulphide ore placed on the leach pad was higher than the feasibility study rate of 60% used in the leach pad inventory estimates since the mine began production. As a result, an adjustment was made to increase the estimated recoverable ounces remaining on the leach pad by 19,495 ounces, using an average recovery rate of 62% for all sulphide ore.
A combination of higher operating costs and a lower grade resulted in a higher average cash operating cost per ounce compared with 2010. Operating costs were higher than 2010 due to higher electricity, reagent, and maintenance costs associated with the higher throughput.
In 2011, a study was completed validating the Company's intention to double the mine capacity by the third quarter of 2014 to 25.0 million tonnes per year as a result of Kisladag's increasing reserves. The expansion would include construction of additional process facilities as well as expansions to the leach pad and waste dumps to handle the higher plant throughput as well as an average of 8.0 million tonnes per year of low grade ore which would be transported directly from the pit to a dedicated run-of-mine (ROM) leach pad. Equipment sizing in the mining fleet would be increased to accommodate the additional ore and waste handling. Subject to receipt of required government permits, completion of the expansion is anticipated by the third quarter of 2014, at an estimated capital cost of $354.0 million.
Tanjianshan
Gold production for 2011 of 114,972 ounces was 1% above, or 1,108 ounces higher than 2010 while tonnes milled and grade were lower than 2010, respectively. Extra tanks were installed during 2011 to increase the retention time of the leach circuit, which in turn improved the average recovery rate year over year from 80.9% to 82.1%. Additionally, flotation concentrate produced in prior years from ore mined from the Qinlongtan pit between 2007 and 2008 was added to the roaster feed; and, "scats", or partially milled "reject" stockpile material reclaimed by using a specialized crusher, was added to the flotation circuits. These two stockpiled materials were responsible for approximately 10,000 ounces of extra production.
For the year, cash operating costs per ounce were 1.6% or $6 per ounce lower than 2010 reflecting higher silver credits as a result of higher silver prices as compared with 2010. Total cash costs per ounce in 2011 were 17% higher than 2010 mainly due to the effect of higher gold prices on royalties, and the imposition of a new tax (ecological compensation fee) levied at a rate of 40RMB per tonne mined.
Jinfeng
Gold production for 2011 of 177,757 ounces was 2%, or 4,193 ounces, lower than 2010. This was mainly due to lower throughput and head grade. These two items were partially offset by an improvement in recovery.
Cash operating costs were 4% higher in 2011 or $17 per ounce reflecting the impact of the decrease in treated head grade and the slightly lower throughput. Total cash costs increased 6% due to the effect of higher gold prices on royalties and production taxes.
A total of 689,737 tonnes of ore was mined from the open pit in 2011 (2010 - 1,432,278 tonnes). Mining of the open pit stopped in the second quarter pending completion of the acquisition of land required for a planned cutback. It is expected that the land purchase will be completed in 2012. A total of 494,422 tonnes of ore were mined from the underground (2010 - 405,015 tonnes). Additionally, a total of 360,806 tonnes of stockpiled ore were fed to the plant.
White Mountain
Gold production for 2011 of 81,275 ounces was 31%, or 19,142 ounces higher than 2010 due to higher throughput and average grade, as well as increased recovery rates. The increase in tonnes was due to an increase in underground working faces as a result of expanded mine development. Recovery at White Mountain is a function of the ore type that is being treated. Approximately 15% of the current orebody is sulphide material and recoveries are significantly lower in this material. During the fourth quarter, a caustic pre-treatment system was commissioned that provides significantly better recoveries in the sulphide material and slightly better recoveries in the oxide material.
Cash operating costs per ounce were 3% lower in 2011 or $13 per ounce as the effect of the increase in head grade and recovery rates was partially offset by higher stope development and backfill costs.
Efemcukuru
Efemcukuru began commissioning operations in June 2011 and treated 112,612 tonnes of ore at 8.21 g/t gold by year end. The operation encountered a number of challenges during commissioning which delayed the transition to full commercial production until December 2011.
Mining operations were impacted by voids encountered as a result of unanticipated prior mine workings. The mine development plan was modified and accelerated during the second half of the year to develop extra working areas to increase production. During commissioning of the processing facilities at Efemcukuru, modifications were made to the tailings handling systems to reach design capacity. Approximately 20,000 ounces of contained gold in concentrate was produced during the year and shipped to Kisladag where a treatment plant was constructed in the second half of 2011 to process Efemcukuru concentrate. The Kisladag concentrate treatment plant began commissioning at the end of 2011 and is expected to treat the concentrate accumulated during commissioning along with normal production so that no stockpile remains at the end of 2012.
Vila Nova
Vila Nova produced 537,958 wet metric tonnes of iron ore at an average grade of 63.9% Fe during 2011. A total of 473,387 dry metric tonnes of iron ore in the form of lump and sinter feed was sold on the spot market during 2011 at an average price of $120 per dry metric tonne. The mine commenced operations in 2010 but due to production and shipping difficulties only recorded sales of iron ore during the fourth quarter of 2010. Production during 2011 reflected a full year of production and matched Company targets.
Annual updates - Development projects
Tocantinzinho
Engineering and permitting activities were conducted during 2011 related to completion of a positive prefeasibility study for Tocantinzinho. The study was based on a 4.4 million tonne per year open pit operation using a combination of flotation and cyanide leach to recover gold from the granite hosted orebody. Capital costs are estimated at $383.5 million, including the infrastructure required to support the project. The average production rate is projected to be 159,000 ounces per year at an average cash cost of $559/ounce.
In addition to the work carried out on the engineering studies, preparations were completed for the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study, which was submitted to the state government in July 2011. Processing of the EIA application within the Brazilian government was delayed during the year due to a jurisdictional dispute between the state and federal governments over responsibility for permitting in the project area. By year end, the jurisdictional dispute was resolved in favour of the state government.
Perama Hill
During 2011, the Company worked closely with the Greek government to advance the processing of the Preliminary Environmental Impact Assessment study (PEIA). Progress was made during the year to move the permitting process forward with the recognition of Perama Hill as a key development project by the Greek government. The Company received PEIA approval in February 2012 and plans to submit the full EIA report in Q1. Eldorado is awaiting joint ministerial approval for the Fast Track process and expects to receive all permits and licenses in 2012. This will be followed by construction of the mine. The Company's public relations efforts continued during 2011, with a focus on maintaining and strengthening relations with the local villages, as well as developing relations with the local and state politicians.
Eastern Dragon
Construction activities were ongoing at the Eastern Dragon project during 2011. During the year, site buildings were enclosed and major mechanical and electrical phases of the plant were completed. In November, construction was suspended pending receipt of permitting required to complete development of the mine. This includes construction on the tailings handling and storage facilities, as well as the open pit and rock dump areas which are now scheduled for completion in 2012, corresponding with final completion of construction and commissioning to the plant in Q3.
Annual updates - Exploration
Exploration drilling in 2011 totalled approximately 120,000 metres at seventeen exploration projects in Turkey, China, Brazil, and Nevada.
Turkey
Kisladag
At Kisladag, over 10,700 metres of diamond drilling were completed in 2011. The drilling focused on planned infrastructure sites for the Phase IV expansion, areas along the periphery of the known deposit, and previously untested conceptual targets. No significant new zones of mineralization were intersected.
Comprehensive soil sampling and a three dimensional induced polarization survey were completed over an area of approximately 20 square kilometres surrounding the deposit, extending the existing survey data that were collected early in the exploration history of the deposit. Results of these programs are being integrated with lithological, alteration, and structural data to define drill targets for potential satellite ore bodies to be tested during 2012.
Efemcukuru
At Efemcukuru, approximately 9,500 metres of exploration drilling were completed during the year on the Kestani Beleni Northwest Extension and the Kokarpinar vein targets. The Kestani Beleni Northwest Extension target underlies a strong gold-in-soil anomaly along strike from the North, Middle, and South ore shoot resources. The 2011 drilling program tested this target area over a strike length of approximately 750 metres to a depth of about 250 metres, and identified a new shallow zone of gold mineralization that remains open downdip. At the Kokarpinar vein, gold values were reported in four out of six drillholes targeting previously untested segments of the vein along strike from and below ore-grade surface samples.
Reconnaissance programs
Drilling campaigns were completed in 2011 at the AS Au-Cu porphyry prospect (760 metres), the Malatya-Hasancelebi IOCG prospect (1,500 metres), the Sayacik porphyry Au prospect (1,770 metres), and the Sizma sediment-hosted gold prospect (3,450 metres). Multiple targets were tested at the AS, Sayacik, and MH projects, but results failed to improve on those from previous drilling campaigns; no further work is planned for these projects. At the Sizma project, the 2011 drilling program outlined a tabular, stratiform zone of anomalous to low-grade gold mineralization within a foliated sandstone/siltstone/mudstone sequence.
Mapping, geochemical sampling, and magnetic survey programs were completed during 2011 at early-stage projects in the Pontide Belt (Dolek and Sebin projects) and at the Atalan project in western Turkey. This work has defined drill targets at all of these projects, which will be tested during 2012.
China
Tanjianshan
The 2011 exploration program at Tanjianshan focused on resource conversion of the 323 Deposit, with approximately 10,300 metres drilled. The drilling confirmed and expanded the previously defined mineralized zones, and will support application for a mining license covering the deposit. Drilling was also completed at the Qinlongtan deeps and Zhongxinshang targets, and reconnaissance sampling and mapping programs were completed in the several areas of the Tanjianshan exploration licenses.
Jinfeng
During 2011, drilling was completed on exploration targets in the Jinfeng district at the Jinluo, Qiaojiang, Da'ao, and Jinfeng 42 license areas, and at the Jinfeng mine proper. Minesite drilling included surface and underground programs with targeted step-outs along the known major mineralized fault zones (F2, F3, F6), infilled gaps in the existing resource model, and tested conceptual targets developed during the year through a detailed reinterpretation of structural controls on mineralization. This program is ongoing, and is supported by positive results to date.
Exploration elsewhere in the district tested soil and outcrop geochemical anomalies associated with mineralized fault zones for Jinfeng-style mineralization (Jinluo, Qiaojiang, Jinfeng 42 license areas), and broad antiformal folds for stratiform mineralization similar to that present at the nearby Shuiyindong gold deposit (Da'ao license). The best results were obtained from mineralized fault zones at the Qiaojiang license area and at the Weiruo prospect in the Jinluo license areas.
White Mountain
Infill and stepout drilling of the White Mountain deposit was completed during the year from both surface and underground drill stations. The surface drilling program expanded the deep ore lens discovered in late 2010 at the northern end of the deposit with two new high grade intercepts. Underground exploration drilling was successful in filling in gaps in the existing resource, and targeted areas of Inferred Resources along the margins of the main deposit.
Elsewhere in the White Mountain district, drilling was completed at the Xiaoshiren and Zhenzhumen prospects. Both prospects represent similar structural/stratigraphic settings to that characterizing the White Mountain deposit. At Xiaoshiren, 4,500 metres of drilling tested targets along strike and down dip from high-grade surface trenches and 2010 drillhole intersections. At the previously undrilled Zhenzhumen prospect, one of the four drillholes completed (1,300 metres total) intersected a high grade, near-surface baritic breccia zone that is texturally and mineralogically similar to the White Mountain orebody, yet occurs at a deeper stratigraphic level.
Brazil
Tocantinzinho
At the Tocantinzinho project, the 2011 exploration program tested targets peripheral to the known deposit defined by soil geochemistry surveys, geophysical surveys (induced polarization, magnetic), and surface exposures of mineralized material. Grid-based auger drilling was employed to further define targets within broad gold-in-soil anomalies prior to drilling. Approximately 17,500 metres were drilled during the year. The best gold intercepts in the program consisted of narrow but high grade zones associated with fault zones or quartz+sulphide veins along the Tocantinzinho Trend southeast of the deposit and beneath garimpo workings south of the deposit. Also in 2011, existing soil surveys were extended into areas west, east, and north of the main deposit. The surveys identified several new targets to be tested in 2012.
Reconnaissance
At the Agua Branca project, 1,532 metres of drilling tested targets at the Carlinho and Camarao Hill zones. At Camarao Hill, drillhole AB46 intersected an interval of 154 m grading 1.1 g/t Au and extended known mineralization 250 metres to the northeast of previous drilling. Based on the results of this drillhole and the exploration potential of the surrounding area, Eldorado exercised its option to earn 100% of the Agua Branca project through a $1.9 million payment to the owner.
West of Tocantinzinho at the Piranhas project, exploration activities completed in 2011 included extending the existing area of soil sampling, and employing grid-based auger drilling to define diamond drilling targets within a broad gold-in-soil anomaly.
Reserves and Resources
Resources in all categories increased 4% compared to our 2010 resource statement while reserves increased 2% compared to our 2010 reserve statement. Reserves at the end of 2011 totalled 19.0 million contained ounces of gold, compared with 18.6 million ounces at the end of 2010. The majority of the reserve increase came from Kisladag and Jinfeng, while decreases at the other operating mines due to production in 2011 were partially offset by newly discovered reserves at these mine sites. Complete mineral reserve and resource data including tonnes, grades and ounces as well as major assumptions and qualified persons responsible for these numbers are shown below in Table 1.

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 applicable Canadian securities laws. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements and forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "believes" or the negatives thereof or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements or information herein include, but are not limited, to the Company's 2011 Financial and Operating Results.
Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information by their nature are based on assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or information. We have made certain assumptions about the forward-looking statements and information and even though our management believes that the assumptions made and the expectations represented by such statements or information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statement or information will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, should one or more of the risks, uncertainties or other factors materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements or information. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others, the following: gold price volatility; discrepancies between actual and estimated production, mineral reserves and resources and metallurgical recoveries; mining operational and development risk; litigation risks; regulatory restrictions, including environmental regulatory restrictions and liability; risks of sovereign investment; currency fluctuations; speculative nature of gold exploration; global economic climate; dilution; share price volatility; competition; loss of key employees; additional funding requirements; and defective title to mineral claims or property, as well as those factors discussed in the sections entitled "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Information Form & Form 40-F dated March 31, 2011.
Cautionary Note Regarding Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources
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 31, 2011 and technical reports filed under the Company's name at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov respectively.
Cautionary Note to US Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources
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 cannot 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.
There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements or information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements or information contained herein. Except as required by law, we do not expect to update forward-looking statements and information continually as conditions change and you are referred to the full discussion of the Company's business contained in the Company's reports filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the U.S.
