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. This decrease is primarily due to investment tax credits related to the Kisladag and Efemcukuru mines and the effects of inflation accounting. 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. A conference call to discuss these results is scheduled for July 26, 2024, at 11:30 AM ET, details of which are available on their website.
Eldorado Gold has announced an extension and increase of its senior secured credit facility with a syndicate of lenders. The new agreement extends the four-year term and increases the revolving credit facility to US$350 million, up from US$250 million, with an additional US$100 million accordion feature.
This move replaces the previous credit facility, which was set to mature in 2025. The interest rate for the credit facility ranges from SOFR plus 2.125-3.250% depending on Eldorado's net-leverage ratio.
As of June 27, 2024, no amounts are drawn under this new facility, but availability is reduced by €126.2 million due to an outstanding letter of credit for the Skouries project. The facility aims to provide financial flexibility as the Skouries project is fully funded and expected to commence production in Q3 2025.
