Eldorado Gold has filed an amended Technical Report for its Lamaque Complex in Quebec, Canada, following a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission.

The amendment maintains the original prefeasibility study (Reserve Case) without changes to mineral resource estimates, reserve estimates, financial assumptions, or economic analysis. Minor modifications include updates to qualified persons' accountability, additional expert experience details, and revisions to the 'Reliance on Other Experts' and 'History' sections to comply with NI 43-101F1 requirements.
