Skouries commissioning and McIlvenna Bay acquisition drive EGO's growth story

  • Skouries first ore crushed, on track for Q3 production Eldorado crushed first ore at its Skouries copper-gold project in Greece, a key step toward production. The mine is 97% built and expected to start producing in the third quarter of 2026. This adds a major new source of revenue and growth for the company.

    This is a new operational milestone that directly increases future production and revenue for EGO.

  • Q2 results solid; guidance includes new McIlvenna Bay mine Eldorado reported strong Q2 earnings with revenue of $487.5 million and net income of $172.8 million. It updated 2026 gold production guidance to 495,000–600,000 ounces, including initial output from the newly acquired McIlvenna Bay mine in Canada. This shows the company is growing and financially healthy.

    New financial results and updated guidance give investors a clearer picture of EGO's earnings power and growth.

  • McIlvenna Bay concentrate shipments to start via Hudson Bay Railway Eldorado Gold Saskatchewan will soon ship concentrate from the McIlvenna Bay mine via the Hudson Bay Railway. This follows Eldorado's acquisition of Foran Mining and marks the start of a new revenue stream from Canada, supporting the company's expanded production base.

    This is a new logistics development that confirms the McIlvenna Bay mine is moving toward commercial production and sales.

  • Gold price swings drive EGO volatility EGO fell nearly 13% in late June as gold dropped below $4,000 on Fed rate hike fears, but rebounded 12% in early August as gold climbed on easing U.S.-Iran tensions. Gold's price remains the biggest short-term driver of EGO's stock, and it can move sharply in both directions.

    This explains the main external force behind EGO's price swings and reminds investors that gold price risk remains.

US Dollar/Turkish Lira FX Spot Rate (USDTRY.FOREX)

Q3 2026

Lira slides to record low as inflation stays high and rate cuts loom

  • Structural external gaps keep lira weak Turkey's current-account deficit widened in May and portfolio money is flowing out, not in. With savings too low versus investment, the country needs foreign cash it is not getting, so the lira weakens and USDTRY rises.

    Explains the persistent, structural force pushing USDTRY up.

  • Banking-sector stress adds to lira vulnerability Commerzbank flagged stress in Turkish banks after Fitch's review, with weaker profits, lower capital ratios and squeezed margins following regulatory changes and past rate cuts. A shaky banking system makes investors more reluctant to hold lira, pushing USDTRY up.

    A new risk factor that increases downward pressure on the lira.

  • Central bank keeps policy tight, then starts normalizing The CBRT raised its year-end inflation forecast to 28% and held its 37% policy rate, keeping real rates negative but policy tight. It then said it would resume 37% repo auctions, easing funding conditions slightly. Tight policy supports the lira, but the move toward normal funding is a mild negative for TRY.

    Shows the main counterweight to lira weakness and its limits.

  • Record low and looming rate cuts keep pressure on The lira fell to a record near 48.8 per dollar in September with inflation at 31.5%, and USDTRY broke above 49.0. Commerzbank warns that coming central bank rate cuts in an inflation-prone economy risk further lira weakness.

    Captures the latest escalation and the key forward risk for USDTRY.
