Re: News Releases - Thursday, January 28, 2010 Title: Eldorado Gold Updates Mineral Resources and Reserves
Proven and Probable increased over 95% - Measured and Indicated increased by 80% VANCOUVER, BC - Paul N. Wright, President & Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado Gold Corporation ("Eldorado" the "Company" or "we") is pleased to provide an update of the Company's Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves as of December 31, 2009.
Measured and Indicated Resources have increased by approximately 80%, with 21% of this growth due to exploration success at the Kisladag and Efemcukuru projects. The remainder of the increase is due to the acquisition of Sino Gold Mining Limited ("Sino Gold") in December 2009, which added the Jinfeng mine, White Mountain mine, Eastern Dragon, and Beyinhar projects to the Company's assets.
Proven and Probable Reserves have increased by approximately 95%, with 32% coming from increases at Kisladag mine, Efemcukuru mine project, and Perama Hill project.
The largest increase came at Kisladag mine with an additional 1.3 million ounces added to the 2008 reserves. A 20,000 Diamond drill program is planned for 2010 to further test the extents of the ore body.
Table 1: Eldorado Gold Mineral Reserves and Resources "We are very pleased with these significant increases to the Company's resources and reserves. The oldest mine in Eldorado's current portfolio was commissioned in 2006, which we believe gives us excellent potential for brownfield discoveries in the future. That fact, plus a renewed focus on exploration under Dr. Peter Lewis our VP, Exploration bodes well for the future", commented Paul Wright, President and CEO.
Eldorado is a gold producing, exploration and development company actively growing businesses in Brazil, Turkey, China, Greece and the surrounding regions. With our international expertise in mining, finance and project development, together with highly skilled and dedicated staff, we believe that Eldorado is well positioned to grow in value as we create and pursue new opportunities.
ON BEHALF OF ELDORADO GOLD CORPORATION
"Paul N. Wright"
Paul N. Wright President & Chief Executive Officer
Notes on Mineral Resources and Reserves:
- Mineral reserves and mineral resources for Kisladag, Efemcukuru, Tanjianshan and Perama projects are as of December 31, 2009.
- Mineral reserves and mineral resources for Jinfeng, White Mountain, Eastern Dragon and Beyinhar are the 2009 JORC-compliant Sino Gold estimates which are as of December 31, 2008. No re-estimates have yet been done by Eldorado Gold, nor have the existing estimates been depleted to 2009 production. In 2009 Jinfeng milled 1,505 Kt at 4.11 g/t Au and White Mountain milled 358 Kt at 3.81 g/t Au.
- The existing competent or qualified persons for the 2009 JORC-compliant reserves and resources for Jinfeng, White Mountain, Eastern Dragon and Beyinhar projects are referenced below.
- Mineral reserves are included in the mineral resources.
- The estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources is a subjective process where the accuracy of any such estimates are a function of the quantity and quality of available data and the assumptions made and judgments used in engineering and geological interpretation. The assumptions and judgements used in such a process may differ between parties. As such, there is no assurance that if the Sino Gold mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates were prepared by Eldorado that the estimates would be the same. Eldorado intends to review the methodology used in preparing the mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates for the Sino Gold properties and update as appropriate. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates for the Sino Gold properties will not change.
Mineral Reserve Notes:
- Gold price used was $825/oz for the Kisladag, Efemcukuru, Perama and Tanjianshan reserves, $750/oz for Jinfeng and White Mountain reserves, and $650/oz for Eastern Dragon and Beyinhar reserves.
- Cut-off grades (gold g/t): Kisladag: 0.35 g/t oxide, 0.50 g/t sulphide; Efemcukuru: 4.0 g/t; Perama: 1.0 g/t; Tanjianshan: 1.3 g/t JLG oxide, 1.64 g/t JLG sulphide; Jinfeng: 1.5 g/t open pit, 2.9 g/t underground; White Mountain: 2.0 g/t; Eastern Dragon: 1.5 g/t open pit, 2.5 underground; Beyinhar: 0.28 g/t oxide, 0.66 g/t sulphide.

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, 2009 and technical reports filed under the Company's name at www.sedar.com.
Estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves prepared in accordance with the JORC Code would not be materially different if prepared in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves Definitions applicable under National Instrument 43-101. There can be no assurance that those portions of such mineral resources that are not mineral reserves will ultimately be converted into mineral reserves. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
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 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.
Eldorado Gold Corporation's shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: ELD) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: EGO). Eldorado's CDIs trade on the Australian Security Exchange (ASX: EAU). The TSX has neither approved nor disapproved the form or content of this release.
