Eldorado Gold Corporation (TSX: ELD) (NYSE: EGO) has appointed Christian Milau as President, effective September 12, 2025. Milau brings over 25 years of experience in finance, capital markets, and mining, with significant expertise in operational leadership, government relations, and stakeholder relations.

I look forward to working alongside Christian as we advance toward the completion of Skouries construction – a key inflection point for our company."

Milau's appointment signals Eldorado's continued focus on growth and strategic development. With Skouries coming online next year, the company is entering an exciting new chapter, and Milau's insights and experience will be instrumental in driving the next phase of strategy, growth, and capital allocation.
