Eldorado Gold Corporation (EGO - Free Report) announced its preliminary gold production of 155,669 ounces for fourth-quarter 2024, up 24.3% from the third quarter of 2024.

The Kisladag mine’s production in the fourth quarter was 56,483 ounces, up 37% from the third quarter of 2024. The performance was aided by Adsorption-Desorption-Recovery facilities and enhanced drawdown on existing inventories.
