First Quarter Review
TURKEY
Kisladag
Gold production of 79,256 ounces at Kisladag in the first quarter was 18% higher year over year due to more tonnes of higher grade ore placed on the heap leach pad at the end of 2014. Cash operating costs of $522 per ounce were higher year over year as a result of higher production waste and an increase in government fees related to the lease of lands managed by the Forestry Ministry. Capital expenditures for the quarter included costs for the capitalized waste stripping, construction of additional leach pad cells, a new overland conveyor and a 154KV power line and substation.
Efemcukuru
Gold production of 21,220 ounces at Efemcukuru decreased 21% year over year due to extremely wet weather during the quarter, which impacted tailings placement and site water management. Despite the changes to the short term mine plan, which resulted in lower grades during the quarter, Efemcukuru is still on track to reach production guidance for the year. Cash operating costs of $604 per ounce were 15% higher year over year due to lower gold production. Capital spending during the quarter included underground development and mine mobile equipment.
Exploration at Efemcukuru included detailed geological mapping, soil sampling, and rock sampling. The soil sampling program is filling gaps in the southern portion of the license area left in previous sampling programs. Mapping and rock sampling programs gathered information from a previously untested vein exposure adjacent to the southeastern license boundary.
Exploration
Reconnaissance level field activities elsewhere in Turkey are currently focused on greenfields exploration for porphyry and epithermal systems in the central Pontide belt.
CHINA
Jinfeng
Gold production of 36,686 ounces at Jinfeng in the first quarter was 11% lower year over year as a result of lower tonnes milled and lower production from gold in circuit inventory in 2015, as compared with 2014. A planned shutdown occurred for preventative mill maintenance causing the lower throughput. The material mined during the quarter and not treated was placed on stockpile and will be treated over the rest of the year. Cash operating costs of $518 per ounce were 17% lower than the same period in 2014 due to lower mining contractor costs. Capital expenditures included capitalized underground development and process plant improvements.
Surface exploration work at Jinfeng included soil sampling over the Anbao exploration license and geological mapping of near-pit areas. The 2015 soil sampling program has now been completed.
Tanjianshan
Gold production of 26,626 ounces at Tanjianshan in the first quarter was 6% lower year over year due to lower production from gold in circuit inventory in 2015, as compared to 2014. Cash operating costs of $407 per ounce during the quarter were 4% lower year over year as a result of lower processing costs. Capital expenditures included capitalized waste stripping on the Jinlonggou pit and the construction of the exploration decline at the Qinlongtan deposit.
At Tanjianshan, development of the Qinlongtan North decline is on schedule, and delineation drilling commenced at the end of the quarter.
White Mountain
Gold production of 20,883 ounces at White Mountain during the first quarter was 21% lower year over year due to reduced head grade and lower production from gold in circuit inventory in 2015 as compared with 2014. Cash operating costs per ounce of $600 were 1% lower than 2014 as a result of cost savings initiatives. Capital expenditures included capitalized underground development, exploration drilling and sustaining capital projects within the processing plant.
At White Mountain, over 5,500 metres of underground exploration drilling were completed during the quarter. Most drilling consisted of modest stepout holes from existing resources and reserves in the north and south zones. Exploration drilling later this year will shift to testing deeper targets, defined on the basis of the improved geological model developed through our relogging/reinterpretation program.
Eastern Dragon
Permitting at Eastern Dragon continues to move forward with good support from the various government agencies involved. The Company expects the PPA to be approved in May, after which the applications for the supplemental permits needed for construction will be submitted. Based on the timing of these approvals the Company will revise and update the schedule for the remaining construction activities.
GREECE
With approximately $450 million invested to date in developing the Skouries and Olympias projects, Eldorado is one of the largest investors in Greece. The Company now directly employs over 2,200 people in the country and paid in excess of $50 million in payroll taxes to the Greek Government and $160 million to Greek suppliers in 2014. This business accounts for approximately 30% of shipping container traffic through the Port of Thessaloniki – Greece's second-largest port. The Company is committed to partnering with communities and governments to develop sustainable opportunities over the 25 plus years our Greek projects are projected to be in operation.
Eldorado conducts its business in Greece in a similar fashion to the other countries where it operates – with respect for human rights, the environment, and the well-being of all stakeholders. All operations are legally permitted and operate in accordance with all Greek and European regulations. International and in-country guidelines are followed to ensure that the environmental and safety practices meet the highest standards. The integrity of the Hellas Gold Environmental Impact Assessment, which took five years to prepare, has been affirmed by Greece's Council of State on three separate occasions.
Skouries
Despite unusually wet weather during the quarter, construction continued to advance with piling and earthworks in the main process area as well as open pit stripping. The placement of concrete for the flotation raft slabs commenced as well as construction of a number of retaining walls within the process plant. Overburden and topsoil removal from the open pit continued and is expected to be completed during the second quarter. Capital spending during the quarter totalled $22.6 million.
Exploration work for the quarter included sampling and mapping programs in the Skouries and Tsikara area.
Olympias
Underground development and refurbishing continued during the quarter in parallel with tailings retreatment. Development of the main decline accessing the orebody from the Kokkinolakkas valley was restarted in the quarter following completion of a probe hole ahead of the excavation to assess ground conditions and potential water inflows. The practice of cover grouting continues to provide control of ground water inflows during excavation. During the quarter, 157,040 tonnes of tailings were treated and produced 4,743 ounces of gold.
Engineering and development for the Phase II reconfiguration program were advanced during the quarter. Differential flotation design criteria have been established along with process equipment lists. Procurement of long lead equipment is underway along with the development of basic engineering design for the operation. Capital costs of $12.8 million were incurred during the quarter for mine development. A total of $6.9 million was spent on tailings retreatment against proceeds of $5.7 million from the sale of gold recovered from the retreatment process.
Stratoni
Concentrate production at Stratoni was lower year over year due to lower ore tonnes processed and lower zinc head grade. Plant throughput was affected by lower mine production as a result of fewer production areas in the mine. Cash operating costs of $738 per tonne increased 19% year over year due to the impact of lower concentrate production on fixed costs as well as higher processing costs.
Two stepout drillholes at Mavres Petres tested the open western and downdip extension of the deposit. One cut a 26.3 metre (apparent width) interval grading 4.11 g/t Au, 58.8 g/t Ag, 2.54% Pb, and 8.54% Zn, while the second intersected Pb+Zn rich massive sulfide over a 37.5 metre apparent width (assays pending). Development of the 138 level footwall exploration drive continued, reaching the first drill station late in the quarter.
Perama Hill
Expenditures at Perama Hill were kept to a minimum during the quarter pending receipt of approval of the Perama Hill Environmental Impact Assessment.
BRAZIL
Vila Nova
Vila Nova was placed on care and maintenance late in the fourth quarter of 2014. A nominal amount of iron ore was processed and shipped in the first quarter of 2015 while preparing the plant for shutdown. Weak iron ore prices continued during the quarter, resulting in an additional $6.2 million non-cash write-down of the remaining iron ore inventory cost on the balance sheet. The remaining inventory is expected to be sold in the second half of 2015 after the end of the rainy season subject to a rebound in iron ore prices.
Tocantinzinho
Optimization work for the Feasibility Study has focused on enhancing its financial return.
There was no exploration activity during the quarter at Tocantinzinho.
Exploration
The Project Generation team continues to evaluate new opportunities in Goias, Tocantins, Para, and Minas Gerais states.
ROMANIA
Certej
Work on Certej during the quarter focused on finalizing the feasibility study and preparing the necessary technical specifications to support ongoing permitting work. The Company is planning to release the Certej feasibility study in the second quarter this year. The feasibility study assumes open pit mining followed by flotation, oxidation and leaching of the ore to produce a gold/silver doré on site, as was outlined in the Prefeasibility Study completed in 2014.
The new Certej geological model was finalized early in the quarter, and the exploration focus has now shifted to other nearby targets within the land package.
Exploration
Drilling programs at the Muncel, Deva and P. Avram prospects, initiated in 2014, were completed early in the quarter.
