Eldorado Gold has provided an update regarding the tax impacts on their mining operations in Turkiye for Q2 2024. The current income tax expense, which is taxed at a 25% enacted rate, is expected to decrease by $3 to $5 million.

However, this is partly offset by taxable unrealized foreign exchange gains resulting from the weakening of the Turkish Lira against the US dollar. Eldorado Gold will release its Q2 2024 financial and operational results after market close on July 25, 2024.
