Eldorado Gold (TSX:ELD) announced today that it has entered into a mandate letter with Greek banks for a credit committee approved €680 million project finance facility for the development of the Skouries Project in Northern Greece.
“The Mandate Letter represents an important step towards the re-start of construction at Skouries,” said George Burns, President and CEO of Eldorado. “We believe that Skouries is a world-class project that will have a lasting positive economic and social impact for Greece, the communities we work in, and other stakeholders.
"We remain confident in the Feasibility Study capital cost estimate of US$845 million, and with the project finance facility in place, the Company has the balance sheet capacity to fund the remaining capital cost for completion of the Project. We also continue to evaluate opportunities for complementary sources of financing. A final decision to re-start construction remains subject to Board approval, which we expect to seek in the second half of 2022.”
