Eldorado Gold Corporation
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements    
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
(Unaudited – in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1. General Information
Eldorado Gold Corporation (individually or collectively with its subsidiaries, as applicable, “Eldorado” or the “Company”) is a gold and base metals mining, development, and exploration company. The Company has mining operations, ongoing development projects and exploration in Turkey, Canada, Greece, Romania, Brazil and Serbia.
Eldorado is a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and is incorporated in the province of British Columbia, Canada.
The Company's head office, principal address and records are located at 550 Burrard Street, Suite 1188, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2B5.

2. Basis of preparation

a)	Statement of compliance	
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Except as described in note 3, the same accounting policies were used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as for the most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements and reflect all the adjustments necessary for fair presentation in accordance with IFRS for the interim periods presented.
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on October 31, 2019.

b)	Judgment and estimates	
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Company applies judgment to determine the date on which a mine development property enters the commercial production stage. On March 31, 2019, the Company declared commercial production at the Lamaque mine, having reached certain milestones. Commercial production represents the point at which the group of assets were able to operate as intended by management. Upon declaring commercial production, Lamaque recognizes all revenue and costs in profit or loss. Prior to March 31, 2019, costs incurred for construction, development and commissioning of the mine, net of pre-commercial sales, were recognized within mineral property in property, plant and equipment.
All other significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

3. Adoption of new accounting standards
The following standards and amendments to existing standards have been adopted by the Company commencing January 1, 2019:
a)IFRS 16 ‘Leases’
IFRS 16 introduces a single accounting model for lessees. The Company, as lessee, is required to recognize a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability, representing its obligation to make lease payments. The Company was permitted to elect to not apply IFRS 16 to leases with a term of less than 12 months, which election is made by the underlying class of assets to which the right of use asset relates, or leases where the underlying asset is of low value, which election is made on an asset by asset basis. The accounting treatment for lessors remains largely the same as under IAS 17 'Leases'.
The Company adopted this standard from January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Accordingly, the comparative information presented for 2018 has not been restated.
Previously, the Company determined at contract inception whether an arrangement was or contained a lease under IFRIC 4, ‘Determining Whether an Arrangement contains a Lease’. On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company now assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on whether the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On transition to IFRS 16, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient permitted by the standard to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed using the definition of a lease under IFRS 16. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 has been applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.
The Company leases various assets including equipment, offices and properties that had previously been classified as operating leases under IAS 17. On adoption of IFRS 16, liabilities for these leases were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 was 13.1%. The Company elected to measure the right-of-use assets for these leases at amounts equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments recognized in the statement of financial position on December 31, 2018.
On initial adoption, the Company used the following practical expedients as permitted by the standard when applying IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17.
		
•	Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with low value.	
		
•	Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term remaining.	
		
•	Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics (such as leases in a similar economic environment).	
		
•	Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.	
		
•	Used hindsight, such as in determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.	
The Company also leases various equipment that had previously been classified as finance leases under IAS 17. For these finance leases, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at January 1, 2019 were determined at the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability under IAS 17 immediately before that date.

3. Adoption of new accounting standards (continued)
The impact on transition is summarized below.

												
 	December 31, 2018		 	IFRS 16 Adjustment		 	January 1, 2019		
 	 	 	 	 	 	
Lease assets presented in property, plant and equipment                                    	$	11,345		 	$	9,379		 	$	20,724		
Lease liabilities – current                                                     	2,978		 	2,658		 	5,636		
Lease liabilities – non-current                                              	6,538		 	6,168		 	12,706		
Accounts receivable and other	80,987		 	(553	)	 	80,434		

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company excluded certain arrangements which management concluded were not within the scope of IFRS 16 because they are arrangements for the use of land that grant the Company the right to explore, develop, produce or otherwise use the mineral resource contained in that land. A reconciliation of lease commitments previously reported and the amount of the lease liability recognized is as follows:

				
 	January 1, 2019		
 	 	
Operating lease commitments at December 31, 2018	$	64,690		
Exclusion of arrangements to explore for or use minerals	(53,186	)	
Leases with low value at January 1, 2019	(1,677	)	
Leases with less than 12 months of remaining lease term at January 1, 2019	(866	)	
Arrangements reassessed as leases	3,120		
Effect of discounting using the incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019	(3,255	)	
Lease liabilities recognized as IFRS 16 adjustment at January 1, 2019	$	8,826		

The following is the new accounting policy for leases under IFRS 16:
A contract is or contains a lease when the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and is adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability. The cost of the right of use asset includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs; and if applicable, an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Company in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate of interest that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

3. Adoption of new accounting standards (continued)
The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Company applies judgment to determine the lease term for some lease contracts which contain renewal options.
The Company does not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets, leases with lease terms that are less than 12 months and arrangements for the use of land that grant the Company the right to explore, develop, produce or otherwise use the mineral resource contained in that land. Lease payments associated with these arrangements are instead recognized as an expense over the term on either a straight-line basis, or another systematic basis if more representative of the pattern of benefit. The Company applies judgment in determining whether an arrangement grants the Company the right to explore, develop, produce or otherwise use the mineral resource contained in that land.
		
b)	IFRIC 23 'Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments'	
This interpretation sets out how to determine the accounting tax position when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. At January 1, 2019, the Company adopted this standard and there was no material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

(a) Senior Secured Second Lien Notes
On June 5, 2019, the Company completed an offering of $300 million senior secured second lien notes (the "senior secured notes”) at 98% of par value, with a coupon rate of 9.5% due June 1, 2024. The senior secured notes pay interest semi-annually on June 1 and December 1, beginning December 1, 2019. The Company received $287.1 million from the offering, which is net of the original issue discount of $6,000, commission payment and certain transaction costs paid to or on behalf of the lenders totaling $6,903. The debt is also presented net of transaction costs of $2,636 incurred directly by the Company in conjunction with the offering. The original discount, commission payment and transaction costs will be amortized over the term of the senior secured notes and included as finance costs. Net proceeds from the senior secured notes were used to redeem in part the Company’s outstanding $600 million 6.125% senior notes due December 15, 2020.
The senior secured notes are secured on a second lien basis by a general security agreement from the Company by the Company’s real property in Canada and shares of SG Resources B.V., Tüprag Metal, Eldorado Gold (Greece) BV, Integra Gold Corp. and Integra Gold (Québec) Inc., all wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.
The senior secured notes are redeemable by the Company in whole or in part, for cash:
		
i)	At any time prior to December 1, 2021 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured notes, accrued and unpaid interest and a premium at the greater of 1% of the principal value of the notes to be redeemed, or the present value of remaining interest to December 1, 2021 discounted at the treasury yield plus 50 basis points.	
		
ii)	On and after the dates provided below, at the redemption prices, expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the senior secured notes:	
December 1, 2021               107.125%
December 1, 2022 and thereafter    100.000%
The redemption features described above constitute an embedded derivative which was separately recognized at its fair value of $1,373 on initial recognition of the senior secured notes and recorded in other assets. The embedded derivative is classified as fair value through profit and loss. The change in fair value between the initial recognition date and September 30, 2019 was not significant.
The senior secured notes contain covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur certain capital expenditures, distributions in certain circumstances and sales of material assets, in each case, subject to certain conditions. The Company is in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2019.
The fair market value of the senior secured notes as at September 30, 2019 is $325 million.

6. Debt (continued)
(b) Senior Secured Credit Facility
In November 2012, the Company entered into a $375 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks. The credit facility was amended and restated in June 2016 (the "amended and restated credit agreement” or “ARCA”) and reduced to an available credit of $250 million with the option to increase by an additional $100 million through an accordion feature. In May 2019, the Company executed a $450 million amended and restated senior secured credit facility (“the third amended and restated credit agreement” or “TARCA”), replacing the ARCA. The TARCA consists of the following:

i)	A $200 million non-revolving term loan with six equal semi-annual payments commencing June 30, 2020. The term loan was used to redeem in part the Company’s outstanding $600 million 6.125% senior notes due December 2020.	
		
ii)	A $250 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of June 5, 2024.	
As at September 30, 2019, the Company has outstanding EUR 57.7 million ($62.8 million) in non-financial letters of credit. In October 2019, an additional CAD 0.4 million ($0.3 million) in non-financial letters of credit were outstanding. The non-financial letters of credit were issued to secure certain obligations in connection with the Company's operations. The non-financial letters of credit reduce availability under the revolving credit facility by corresponding amounts. Concurrent to the establishment of the facility, $10.6 million of restricted cash was released that had previously been held to secure letters of credit.
The TARCA contains covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur additional unsecured indebtedness except in compliance with certain conditions, incur certain lease obligations, make distributions in certain circumstances, sell material assets or carry on a business other than one related to mining. Significant financial covenants include a minimum Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) to interest ratio and a maximum debt net of unrestricted cash ("net debt") to EBITDA ratio ("net leverage ratio"). The Company is in compliance with its covenants at September 30, 2019. 
Both the term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25% – 3.25%, dependent on a net leverage ratio pricing grid. The Company’s current interest charges and fees are as follows: LIBOR plus margin of 3.25% on the term loan and any amounts drawn from the revolving credit facility, LIBOR plus margin of 2.17% on non-financial letters of credit secured by the revolving credit facility and 0.8125% standby fees on the available and undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility.
The TARCA is secured on a first lien basis by a general security agreement from the Company, the Company's real property in Canada and shares of SG Resources B.V., Tüprag Metal, Eldorado Gold (Greece) BV, Integra Gold Corp. and Integra Gold (Québec) Inc., all wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.
The term loan is presented net of transaction costs of $2,615 incurred in conjunction with the amendment. The transaction costs will be amortized over the term of the term loan and included in finance costs.
Fees of $3,269 relating to the undrawn revolving credit facility have been recorded in other assets and will be amortized over the term of the TARCA. As at September 30, 2019, the prepaid loan cost was $3,005 (December 31, 2018 – $749). $524 of unamortized deferred financing costs relating to the ARCA were expensed as interest and financing costs on the amendment date (note 8(b)).
No amounts were drawn down under the revolving credit facility in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and as at September 30, 2019, the balance is nil.
(c) Senior Notes
On December 10, 2012, the Company completed an offering of $600 million senior notes (“the 2012 notes”) at par value, with a coupon rate of 6.125% due December 15, 2020. The 2012 notes paid interest semi-annually on June 15 and December 15. The 2012 notes were redeemed in whole for cash by the Company on June 12, 2019 using proceeds from the senior secured notes and the TARCA term loan, together with cash on hand. $18,069 of accrued interest was also paid upon redemption. $3,035 of unamortized deferred financing costs relating to the 2012 notes were expensed as interest and financing costs upon redemption (note 8(b)).

10. Share-based payments (continued)
(b)    Restricted share unit plan
The Company has a Restricted Share Unit Plan (“RSU” plan) whereby restricted share units may be granted to senior management of the Company. The current maximum number of common shares authorized for issue under the RSU plan is 5,000,000. As at September 30, 2019, 377,862 common shares purchased by the Company remain held in trust in connection with this plan and have been included in treasury stock within equity on the consolidated statement of financial position.
Currently, the Company has two types of RSUs:
i.RSU with no performance criteria
These RSUs are exercisable into one common share once vested, entitling the holder to receive the common share for no additional consideration. They vest as follows: one third on the first anniversary of the grant date, one third on the second anniversary of the grant date and one third on the third anniversary of the grant date. RSUs with no performance criteria terminate on the third anniversary of the grant date. All vested RSUs which have not been redeemed by the date of termination are automatically redeemed. Such RSUs may be redeemed by the holder in shares or cash, with cash redemptions subject to the approval of the Board. 
A total of 391,092 RSUs with no performance criteria with an average grant-date fair value of Cdn$5.68 per unit were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 under this plan. The fair value of each RSU issued is determined as the closing share price at grant date.
A summary of the status of the RSUs with no performance criteria and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

					
 	2019		2018		
At January 1,	333,119		341,198		
Granted	391,092		210,990		
Redeemed	(130,281	)	(181,491	)	
Forfeited	(17,766	)	(30,543	)	
At September 30,	576,164		340,154		

As at September 30, 2019, 36,424 restricted share units are fully vested and exercisable (December 31, 2018 – 29,371).
ii. RSU with performance criteria
RSUs with performance criteria vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to achievement of pre-determined performance criteria. When fully vested, the number of RSUs redeemed will range from 0% to 200% of the target award, subject to the performance of the share price over the 3 year period.
A total of 412,473 RSUs with performance criteria were granted under this plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 with an average grant date fair value of Cdn$5.68 per unit. The fair value of each RSU issued is determined as the closing share price at grant date.

(c)    Deferred unit plan
The Company has an Independent Directors Deferred Unit Plan (“DU Plan”) under which DU’s are granted by the Board from time to time to independent directors (“the Participants”). DUs may be redeemed only on retirement of the independent director from the Board (the “Termination Date”) by providing the redemption notice (“Redemption Notice”) to the Company specifying the redemption date which shall be no later than December 15 of the first calendar year commencing after the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurred (the “Redemption Date”). Fifteen (15) trading days after the Redemption Date but no later than December 31 of the first calendar year commencing after the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurred, the Participant shall have the right to receive, and shall receive, with respect to all DUs held at the Redemption Date a cash payment equal to the market value of such DUs as of the Redemption Date.
At September 30, 2019, 361,475 DUs were outstanding (December 31, 2018 – 234,125) with a fair value of $2,787, which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities (December 31, 2018 – $686). The fair value was determined based on the closing share price at September 30, 2019.
(d)    Performance share unit plan
The Company has a Performance Share Unit Plan (the “PSU” Plan) whereby PSUs may be granted to senior management of the Company at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Under the plan, PSUs cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date (the “Redemption Date”) and are subject to terms and conditions including the achievement of predetermined performance criteria (the “Performance Criteria”). When fully vested the number of PSUs redeemed will range from 0% to 200% of the target award, subject to the achievement of the Performance Criteria. Once vested, at the option of the Company, PSU’s are redeemable in cash equal to the market value of the vested PSUs as of the Redemption Date, by issuance of common shares of the Company equal to the number of vested PSUs, or a combination of cash and issuance of common shares equal to the market value of the vested PSUs.
A total of 264,083 PSUs were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 under the PSU Plan. The current maximum number of common shares authorized for issuance from treasury under the PSU Plan is 626,000.
Movements in the PSUs during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

					
 	2019		2018

Upon adoption of IFRS 16, leases for various assets including equipment, offices and properties that had previously been classified as operating or financing leases under IAS 17 have been combined into a single classification line above. Mineral properties refer to arrangements for the use of land that grant the Company the right to explore, develop, produce or otherwise use the mineral resource contained in that land. The table does not include interest on debt.

13. Financial instruments by category
Fair values are determined directly by reference to published price quotations in an active market, when available, or by using a valuation technique that uses inputs observed from relevant markets.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
		
•	Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.	
		
•	Level 2 – Inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, but do not qualify as Level 1 inputs (i.e., quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities).	
		
•	Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).	
Assets measured at fair value as at September 30, 2019 include marketable securities of $3,357 (December 31, 2018 – $2,572), comprised of publicly-traded equity investments classified as fair value through other comprehensive income, settlement receivables of $34,094 (December 31, 2018 – $5,243) arising from provisional pricing in contracts for the sale of metals in concentrate classified as fair value through profit and loss, and a derivative asset of $1,373 related to redemption options associated with the senior secured notes classified as fair value through profit and loss. Changes in the fair value of settlement receivables are recorded in revenue. No liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at September 30, 2019.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the date of the statement of financial position. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. The Company's marketable securities are included in Level 1. Instruments included in Level 2 comprise settlement receivables, the derivative asset and the fair market value of the Company's senior secured notes (note 6(a)). The fair value of settlement receivables is determined based on forward metal prices for the quotational period; the fair value of the Company’s derivative asset is based on models using observable interest rate inputs and the fair value of the Company’s senior secured notes is based on observable prices in inactive markets. For all other financial instruments, carrying amounts approximate fair value.

14. Disposal group held for sale
In June 2019, management committed to a plan to sell its Vila Nova iron ore mine in Brazil, which was placed on care and maintenance in late 2014 pending a recovery in iron ore prices. Accordingly, the mine is presented as a disposal group held for sale. Efforts to sell the disposal group are underway and a sale is expected within the next twelve months.
As at September 30, 2019, the disposal group was stated at fair value less costs to sell and comprised the following assets and liabilities.

					
 	 	September 30, 2019		
Cash	 	$	263		
Accounts receivable and other	 	638		
Property, plant and equipment and iron ore inventory	 	11,690		
Assets held for sale	 	$	12,591		
 	 	 	
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	 	$	112		
Asset retirement obligations	 	4,095		
Liabilities associated with assets held for sale	 	$	4,207

14. Disposal group held for sale (continued)
Impairment charges of $34,443 were applied to Vila Nova property, plant and equipment and iron ore inventory in 2015, reducing the carrying value to $nil. As a result of the plan to sell Vila Nova, the Company recorded an impairment reversal of $11,690 in June 2019 to record the property, plant and equipment and iron ore inventory at its estimated fair value of $9,000. At September 30, 2019, the fair value measurement for the disposal group was reduced to $8,384, corresponding to a decrease in working capital. The fair value measurement for the disposal group has been categorized as a Level 3 fair value based on the expected consideration of a sale.

15. Segment information
Identification of reportable segments
The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief executive officer and the executive management (the chief operating decision makers or CODM) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
The CODM consider the business from both a geographic and product perspective and assess the performance of the operating segments based on measures of profit and loss as well as assets and liabilities. These measures include operating profit, expenditures on exploration, property, plant and equipment and non-current assets, as well as total debt. As at September 30, 2019, Eldorado had six reportable segments based on the geographical location of mining and exploration and development activities.
Geographical segments
Geographically, the operating segments are identified by country and by operating mine or mine under construction. The Turkey reporting segment includes the Kişladağ and the Efemçukuru mines and exploration activities in Turkey. The Canada reporting segment includes the Lamaque mine and exploration activities in Canada. The Greece reporting segment includes the Stratoni and Olympias mines, the Skouries, Perama Hill and Sapes projects and exploration activities in Greece. The Romania reporting segment includes the Certej project and exploration activities in Romania. The Brazil reporting segment includes the Vila Nova mine, Tocantinzinho project and exploration activities in Brazil. Other reporting segment includes operations of Eldorado’s corporate office and exploration activities in other countries.
Financial information about each of these operating segments is reported to the CODM on a monthly basis. The mines in each of the different reporting segments share similar economic characteristics and have been aggregated accordingly.

About Eldorado
Eldorado Gold is a Canadian gold and base metals producer with over 25 years of experience in discovering, building and operating mines in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Dual-listed on the Toronto (TSX: ELD) and New York (NYSE: EGO) stock exchanges, the Company is focused on creating value for its stakeholders at each stage of the mining process.
Eldorado’s operations are global and the Company has assets in Turkey, Canada, Greece, Romania, Serbia and Brazil. The Company operates five mines: Kisladag and Efemcukuru located in western Turkey, Lamaque in Canada, and Olympias and Stratoni located in northern Greece. Kisladag, Efemcukuru and Lamaque are wholly-owned gold mines, while 95% owned Olympias and Stratoni are polymetallic operations. Olympias produces three concentrates bearing lead-silver, zinc and gold. Stratoni produces two concentrates bearing lead-silver and zinc.
Complementing Eldorado’s producing portfolio is the Company’s advanced stage development project, the Skouries (95% ownership) gold-copper project in northern Greece. Skouries is currently on care and maintenance. Eldorado is working with the Greek government to achieve the necessary conditions required to restart full construction. These include a stable regulatory framework and assurances that provide appropriate foreign direct investor protection and dispute resolution as well as regulatory approval for subsequent permits and technical studies.
Other development projects in Eldorado’s portfolio include:

•	Perama Hill (100%), gold-silver, Greece;	
		
•	Certej (80.5%), gold, Romania; and	
		
•	Tocantinzinho (100%), gold, Brazil.	
The Company’s operating mines and development projects provide excellent opportunities for reserve growth through near-mine exploration, with programs at Lamaque, Efemcukuru, Olympias and Stratoni in 2019. Eldorado also conducts early-stage exploration programs in highly-prospective regions to provide low cost growth through discovery.
Eldorado’s strategy is to focus on jurisdictions that offer the potential for long-term growth and access to high-quality assets. Fundamental to executing on this strategy is the strength of the Company’s in-country teams and stakeholder relationships. The Company has a highly skilled and dedicated workforce of over 4,500 people worldwide, with the majority of employees and management being nationals of the country of operation.
Through discovering and acquiring high-quality assets, developing and operating world-class mines, growing resources and reserves, responsibly managing impacts and building opportunities for local communities, Eldorado strives to deliver value for all its stakeholders.

Third Quarter 2019 and Subsequent Period Highlights

•	Extension of mine life at Kisladag supported by recent test results: Waste stripping to support a mine life extension at Kisladag is underway. Recent test results confirm recoveries from leaching deeper material over 250 day cycles support an extension of mine life beyond the Company's current three year guidance. Testwork is still ongoing and the Company expects to update long term guidance at Kisladag based on the results of this testwork, which are expected to be available in Q1 2020.	

•	Permits for Skouries and Olympias received: Permits allow for, among other things, installation of electrical and mechanical equipment at Skouries and Olympias. Subsequent to the quarter the Company also received approval for the Skouries building permit, which will allow the Company to begin installation of the Skouries mill building, and consent from the Central Archaeological Council to relocate an ancient mining furnace from the Skouries open pit area, subject to Ministerial approval.	

•	Successful ramp up at Lamaque: Lamaque achieved commercial production in April 2019 and has had two successful operating quarters. In September 2019, the Company announced that it is undertaking a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) to increase average annual production from approximately 130,000 ounces of gold to approximately 170,000 ounces of gold.	

•	Increased Q3 gold production and reiterating 2019 annual guidance: Gold production for the quarter totalled 101,596 ounces with 276,376 ounces produced year-to-date. Quarterly production included 32,037 ounces from Lamaque in its second quarter of commercial operations and was partially offset by a decrease in production at Olympias as a result of reduced tonnage fed to the processing plant.	

•	Steady EBITDA: Higher sales volumes in the quarter resulted in earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") of $73.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA of $75.9 million excludes the impact of non-cash share-based compensation expense.	

•	Liquidity strengthened: The Company finished the quarter with approximately $322 million of liquidity including $134.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and term deposits and approximately $187 million available under its $250 million revolving credit facility, with $63 million of capacity on the revolving credit facility allocated to secure certain reclamation obligations in connection with its operations.	

•	Positive net earnings per share: Net earnings to shareholders in the quarter totalled $4.2 million, or $0.03 per share. Adjusted net earnings were $7.5 million, or $0.05 per share, after adjusting for non-cash deferred tax expense relating to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019  	 		

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL AND OPERATING PERFORMANCE
Production, Sales and Revenue
In Q3 2019 the Company produced 101,596 ounces of gold, compared to Q3 2018 production of 84,783 ounces.
		
•	Kisladag produced 35,885 ounces during the quarter, an increase of 5% from Q3 2018 production of 34,070 ounces, with increases due to new ore placement on the leach pad beginning in April 2019.	
		
•	Lamaque produced 32,037 ounces during the quarter, maintaining strong recoveries and ore grades.	
		
•	Efemcukuru produced 25,733 ounces during the quarter, an increase of 5% from Q3 2018 production of 24,493 ounces, primarily a result of increased tonnage fed to the processing plant, partially offset by lower grades.	
		
•	Olympias produced 7,941 ounces during the quarter, a decrease of 38% from Q3 2018 production of 12,790 ounces, as a result of reduced tonnage to the processing plant.	
The Company's forecast for full-year consolidated production remains unchanged and within the previously published range of 390,000-420,000 ounces of gold at cash operating costs of $550-600 per ounce of gold sold and all-in-sustaining costs of $900-1000 per ounce of gold sold.
Gold sales from commercial operations in Q3 2019 totalled 99,241 ounces, compared with 64,589 ounces in Q3 2018. The 54% higher sales volume compared with the prior year's quarter were primarily due to the sale of 31,122 ounces from Lamaque in its second quarter of commercial operations.
The average realized gold price in Q3 2019 was $1,513 per ounce, 29% higher than the average realized gold price of $1,177 per ounce in Q3 2018 and reflecting a strong gold price throughout the quarter. Total revenue was $172.3 million in Q3 2019 compared to $81.1 million in Q3 2018, as a result of the higher gold sales volume and a higher average realized gold price.
Total revenue was $426.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of 16% from total revenue of $366.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to $78.5 million of revenue contributed by Lamaque following the commencement of commercial operations in April 2019 and $19.9 million of additional revenue at Efemcukuru as a result of increased production and higher gold prices. These increases were partially offset by $62.5 million lower revenue from Kisladag due to lower production in the first half of the year as a result of the suspension of mining and stacking of ore on the leach pad from April 2018 through March 2019.
Unit Cost Performance
Cash operating costs in Q3 2019 averaged $560 per ounce sold, a decrease from $754 per ounce sold in Q3 2018 and cash operating costs averaged $602 per ounce sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease from $625 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The improvement in both the three and nine-month periods is primarily due to the ramp-up of mining, crushing and placement of ore on the Kisladag heap leach pad beginning in April 2019 and the partial allocation of processing costs to gold inventory in the heap leach pad. This was partially offset by higher cash operating costs per ounce sold at Olympias as a result of lower production levels and at Efemcukuru as a result of increased transportation costs and treatment charges.
AISC per ounce sold averaged $1,031 in Q3 2019, compared with $1,112 in Q3 2018, reflecting the decrease in cash operating costs per ounce sold, and partially offset by higher sustaining capital expenditures in the quarter compared to the prior year. Sustaining capital expenditures at gold operations totalled $30.0 million ($302 per ounce sold) in Q3 2019, compared to $12.1 million ($187 per ounce sold) in Q3 2018, primarily due to the inclusion of $15.9 million of sustaining capital expenditures at Lamaque for underground development and tailings dam expansion. AISC per ounce sold averaged $998 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase from $944 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in AISC per ounce sold at Olympias as a result of lower production levels and at Efemcukuru as a result of increased transportation costs and treatment charges.

Other Expenses
Exploration and evaluation expenses decreased to $2.8 million in Q3 2019 from $8.0 million in Q3 2018 and to $10.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $26.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in both periods was due to a continued focus on brownfield resource expansion at the Company's mining operations and development projects.
Mine standby costs of $2.5 million related to Skouries, Perama Hill and Vila Nova were incurred during the quarter and reflected a decrease from $4.5 million in Q3 2018. The decrease was due to the resumption of mining, crushing and placing of ore on the Kisladag heap leach pad from April 2019. A portion of costs related to Kisladag were included in mine standby costs in Q3 2018 during the period that mining and crushing activities were suspended. Mine standby costs were $14.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 reflecting an increase from $11.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher Kisladag standby costs in Q1 2019 as the mine was preparing to recommence operations in April 2019.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $7.4 million in Q3 2019 from $10.9 million in Q3 2018 and to $22.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $33.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in both periods primarily reflects the allocation beginning in 2019 of in-country office general and administrative expenses related to supporting the operations to production costs.
Other income totalled $0.9 million in Q3 2019, compared with $6.3 million in Q3 2018 and included a $3.0 million decrease in interest income as a result of lower cash balances in the quarter as compared to the prior year. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, other income totalled $11.2 million, a decrease from $13.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and included a $5.1 million decrease in interest income as a result of lower cash balances and a $4.5 million decrease due to gains recognized on derivatives and other investments in the prior year. These decreases were partially offset by a gain of $8.1 million from the sale in June 2019 of a net smelter royalty held on a property in Turkey. $1.6 million of the consideration was received in cash at the time of sale. Of the remaining proceeds, $5.0 million was settled in October 2019 through the transfer of an exploration license for a property in Turkey and $1.5 million will be settled in cash in December 2019.
Finance costs in Q3 2019 totalled $13.2 million, compared with $0.8 million in Q3 2018, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totalled $37.3 million, as compared with $8.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The significant increases in both periods were primarily due to interest no longer capitalized commencing in the quarter following the commencement of commercial operations at Lamaque in April 2019 and the transfer of Skouries to care and maintenance at the end of 2018. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, $9.9 million and $24.0 million of interest was capitalized, respectively at Skouries and Lamaque. Finance costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 also included $3.6 million from the write-off of remaining unamortized transaction costs related to the debt that was redeemed in June 2019.
In Q3 2019, tax expense was $15.9 million, including current income taxes of $10.1 million primarily relating to operations in Turkey and deferred taxes of $5.8 million primarily due to movements in property, plant and equipment and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. In Q3 2018, a $23.5 million deferred income tax recovery was recognized relating to the impairment of the Kisladag heap leach assets. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, tax expense was $29.9 million, including current income taxes of $40.5 million primarily relating to operations in Turkey and a deferred tax recovery of $10.6 million relating to withholding taxes on inter-company profit distributions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019  	 		

Net Earnings to Shareholders
The Company reported net earnings to shareholders in Q3 2019 of $4.2 million, ($0.03 per share) compared to a net loss of $128.0 million ($0.81 loss per share) in Q3 2018. The improvement was primarily a result of higher sales volume and an impairment charge in Q3 2018 of $117.6 million ($94.1 million net of deferred income tax recovery) relating to the Kisladag heap leach operations. Net loss attributable to shareholders in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totalled $10.6 million ($0.07 loss per share) compared to $143.7 million ($0.91 loss per share) in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The year-to-date net loss is primarily attributable to lower sales volumes in the first half of 2019 as compared to the prior year, mainly as a result of lower production from Kisladag due to the suspension of mining and stacking of ore on the leach pad from April 2018 through March 2019. Sales volumes also decreased at Olympias in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to lower production. Net earnings in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 also included an $11.7 million partial reversal of impairment relating to property, plant and equipment and iron ore inventory at the Vila Nova mine, currently on care and maintenance. The impairment reversal was recorded as a result of a plan to sell Vila Nova and reflects the fair value of these assets based on the expected sale consideration.
In Q3 2019, adjusted net earnings were $7.5 million ($0.05 per share), compared to adjusted net loss of $21.9 million ($0.14 loss per share) in Q3 2018. Adjusted net earnings in Q3 2019 removes, among other things, $3.4 million of deferred tax expense relating to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Adjusted net loss in Q3 2018 primarily removes the $117.6 million impairment charge ($94.1 million net of deferred income tax recovery) relating to the Kisladag heap leach operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the adjusted net loss was $14.7 million ($0.09 loss per share), compared to adjusted net loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $9.5 million ($0.06 loss per share). The 2019 adjusted net loss on a year-to-date basis removes, among other things, the $8.1 million gain on sale of the net smelter royalty interest, the $11.7 million reversal of impairment for Vila Nova and the $3.6 million write-off of unamortized transaction costs relating to the debt that was redeemed during the year.

(1)	Suspension of ore placement on the heap leach pad from April 2018 through March 2019.	

Mining, crushing and placing of ore on the Kisladag heap leach pad resumed as of April 1, 2019, following the suspension of new ore placement on the leach pad from April 2018. The first area of newly-stacked ore since April 2018 was put under irrigation in April 2019.
In Q3 2019, Kisladag produced 35,885 ounces of gold, reflecting a 38% increase from Q2 2019 production of 26,072 ounces due to recoveries benefiting from newly-stacked ore since April 2019. In Q3 2018, Kisladag produced 34,070 ounces of gold, reflecting decreasing production due to the suspension of mining, crushing and stacking of new ore as of April 2018.
The increase in gold revenue to $53.2 million in Q3 2019 from $41.2 million in Q3 2018 reflected increased gold prices and increased production in the quarter.
Cash operating costs per ounce sold improved to $399 in Q3 2019 from $890 in Q3 2018. The significant decrease was primarily due to the allocation of processing costs directly to ounces produced in Q3 2018 during the period that mining was suspended. In Q3 2019, these processing costs were partially allocated to increases in leach pad gold inventory. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash operating costs per ounce sold also benefited from initiatives to improve labour productivity realized with the resumption of mining, crushing and stacking of ore.
AISC per ounce sold improved to $566 in Q3 2019 from $1,010 in Q3 2018. The decrease is a result of the lower cash costs per ounce sold partially offset by a slight increase in sustaining capital expenditure to $3.9 million in Q3 2019 from $3.3 million in Q3 2018.
Recent test results from Kisladag confirm that recoveries from leaching deeper material over 250 day cycles support an extension of mine life beyond the Company’s current three year guidance. Waste stripping to support a mine life extension commenced in October 2019 and will continue over the remainder of 2019 with estimated expenditure of $4.0 million. Testwork is still ongoing to determine the ultimate heap leach recovery of this material and thus the ultimate length of the mine life extension. The Company expects to update long term guidance at Kisladag based on the results of this testwork, which are expected to be available in Q1 2020.

Commercial operations commenced at the Lamaque mine in April 2019. Lamaque produced 32,037 ounces of gold in Q3 2019, reflecting good ore availability and a shift to slightly lower-grade ore stopes with an average gold grade of 7.13 grams per tonne as compared to 7.31 in the previous quarter. All ore was processed at the Sigma Mill in Q3 2019 with the average gold recovery rate of 97.4% above the expected rate of 95%.
Gold revenue of $46.1 million was realized in Q3 2019 from gold sales of 31,122 ounces and benefited from an increase in gold price.
Cash operating costs in Q3 2019 were $480 per ounce sold, an improvement from $517 per ounce sold in the previous quarter and reflecting continued strong production. AISC in Q3 2019 was $1,089 per ounce sold, an increase from $814 per ounce sold in the previous quarter and was inclusive of sustaining capital expenditure related primarily to underground development and seasonal tailings dam expansion. During Q2 2019, approval of the final permits for the tailings management facility were received as expected and construction of the second phase of the facility commenced. This work is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter.
Growth capital expenditure totalled $5.0 million in Q3 2019 including $1.5 million relating to the partial repurchase of a net smelter return royalty interest, as well as remaining equipment purchases.
The Company is evaluating an expansion at Lamaque which would increase throughput from an average of approximately 1,800 tonnes per day ("tpd") to 2,500 tpd and increase average annual production from approximately 130,000 ounces of gold to approximately 170,000 ounces of gold. Work has commenced on a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for this expansion, which is expected to be completed in Q4 2019. The PEA will include three distinct phases: a two kilometre decline and conveyor system from the Sigma Mill to the 400 metre level of the Triangle Deposit, upgrades to the Sigma Mill to allow for increased throughput, and construction of a paste plant to provide a long-term tailings solution.

Efemcukuru produced 25,733 ounces of gold in Q3 2019, compared with 24,493 ounces of gold in Q3 2018. The 5% increase in production was primarily due to increased tonnes milled, partially offset by lower average head grade.
Gold revenue in Q3 2019 increased to $41.3 million from $27.4 million in Q3 2018 as a result of higher sales volumes and increased gold prices in the quarter.
Cash operating costs were $591 per ounce sold in Q3 2019 compared to $456 per ounce sold in Q3 2018, primarily a reflection of higher transportation costs and treatment charges. Additionally, penalty rates for impurities are slightly higher due to changes in market conditions. Sustaining capital expenditure was $5.2 million in Q3 2019, slightly lower than $5.7 million in Q3 2018. The increase in AISC per ounce sold to $900 in Q3 2019 from $766 in Q3 2018, was in line with higher cash operating costs in the quarter.

(2)	Payable metal produced.	

Olympias produced 7,941 ounces of gold in Q3 2019, compared with 12,790 ounces in Q3 2018. The 38% decrease in production was primarily due to reduced tonnage fed to the processing plant as a result of limited ore production from underground stopes, combined with lower average head grade. During the quarter, measures to increase production volumes were introduced in key areas of the operation and will support a ramp up of production. These measures included increased capital development resources and other operational improvement initiatives.
Other metal production in Q3 2019 included 170,776 silver ounces (Q3 2018: 133,554 ounces), 1,632 lead tonnes (Q3 2018: 1,227 tonnes) and 1,654 zinc tonnes (Q3 2018: 1,998 tonnes). Silver and lead production increased in Q3 2019 compared to Q3 2018 as a result of significantly higher process recoveries despite the reduced tonnage to the processing plant.
Gold ounces sold of 6,655 in Q3 2019 decreased from 7,416 in Q3 2018 as a result of the lower production in the quarter and the timing of sales. Silver and base metal revenue increased to $10.1 million in Q3 2019 from $1.8 million in Q3 2018 due to timing of sales and improved recoveries.
Cash operating costs in Q3 2019 were $1,678 per ounce sold, compared with $1,058 per ounce sold in Q3 2018. The significant increase was due to reduced throughput and lower production volumes in Q3 2019. The increase in cash operating cost, combined with an increase in sustaining capital in the quarter to support production improvement initiatives, resulted in an increase in AISC to $2,598 per ounce sold in Q3 2019 from $1,688 per ounce sold in Q3 2018.
In September 2019, an installation permit was received from the Greek Ministry of Energy and the Environment allowing for installation of an upgraded electrical substation and construction of support facilities. These projects will be considered as part of the Company's annual planning process.

Development Projects
Skouries – Greece
In September 2019, electromechanical installation permit approvals were received from the Greek Ministry of Energy and Environment allowing for the installation of mechanical and electrical equipment at the flotation plant to be completed as well as the installation of additional surface facilities. In October 2019, the Company received approval for the Skouries building permit which will allow the Company to begin installation of the Skouries mill building. Additionally, consent to relocate an ancient mining furnace from the Skouries open pit area was received from the Central Archaeological Council, subject to Ministerial approval. While Skouries continues to remain in care and maintenance pending a full re-start of construction, certain construction activities that were suspended in 2017, including construction of the mill building, are intended to be completed in Q4 2019 and early 2020 to protect the plant assets. Capital expenditure for asset protection works is estimated to be approximately $5.0 million.
Eldorado continues to work with the Greek government to achieve the necessary conditions required to re-start full construction at Skouries. These include approval to implement dry stack tailings at Skouries, a stable regulatory framework and assurances that provide appropriate foreign direct investor protection and dispute resolution as well as regulatory approval for subsequent permits and technical studies.
$1.9 million was spent during the quarter on care and maintenance activities and was included in mine standby costs.
Perama Hill - Greece
Work was re-initiated on the project which was largely on hold since 2014. Work began on updating the economic models reflecting current construction and equipment costs along with mine planning with respect to updated operating costs and gold price. A project review is underway to evaluate the site conditions and project designs evaluating changes in legislation, best practices, and possible optimizations of the site and process. The permitting documentation is being reassessed and updated; after establishing the current requirements a revised path forward and schedule for the project will be developed.
Tocantinzinho – Brazil
During Q2 2019, an updated technical report was completed for Tocantinzinho with an effective date of June 21, 2019 and filed on SEDAR on August 9, 2019. Highlights of the study at an estimated gold price of $1,300 include an IRR of 13.4% and an NPV of $216 million at a 5% discount rate. At an estimated gold price of $1,500, IRR is 19.7% with an NPV of $409 million at a 5% discount rate.
Vila Nova – Brazil
In July 2019, the Company executed a sale agreement for the Vila Nova iron ore mine for consideration of $9 million in cash and subject to the purchaser securing financing and other standard closing conditions. The sale was not completed and the Company is currently in discussions with other potential purchasers. Vila Nova was placed on care and maintenance at the end of 2014 pending a recovery of iron ore prices. Accordingly, an $11.7 million partial reversal of impairment relating to property, plant and equipment and iron ore inventory was recorded in income in Q2 2019 to record these assets at their estimated fair value based on the expected sale consideration. $0.4 million was spent at Vila Nova in the quarter and was included in mine standby costs.
Certej – Romania
Process optimization design work advanced in Q3 2019 focused on investigating flotation recoveries at lower mass pulls. Some minor construction work as well as environmental monitoring continued at the site. Spending totalled $1.1 million in the quarter and was included in exploration and evaluation expenditure.
Kisladag Mill - Turkey
Engineering studies for the mill project concluded in Q1 2019 and resources were demobilized and reallocated.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019  	 		

Exploration and Evaluation
Exploration and evaluation expenditures in Q3 2019 were primarily related to brownfields resource expansion programs at the Company’s operations in Canada, Turkey and Greece, to project generation and early-stage projects in Turkey, and to process optimization work at the Certej Project in Romania (see section - Development Projects).
Exploration and evaluation expenditure is expensed when it relates to the initial search for, or the delineation of, mineral deposits, or the evaluation of the technical and economic feasibility of a project. Exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalized once there is sufficient evidence to support the probability of generating positive economic returns in the future.
In Q3 2019, exploration and evaluation expense totalled $2.8 million, including $1.1 million of spending at Certej, with the remainder spent primarily in Turkey and at Lamaque. In Q3 2019, $3.2 million was capitalized relating to resource expansion programs at Lamaque, Efemcukuru, Olympias and Stratoni.
At Lamaque, 15,122 metres of drilling during the quarter focused on resource expansion in the lower Triangle Deposit and testing nearby early-stage targets. Drilling results included new stepout intercepts on the C7, C9, C9b and C10 zones, as well as further delineation of stockwork-hosted mineralized zones. Drilling also tested targets associated with historically-mined extension vein networks in the P5 flats area. Late in the quarter drilling commenced at Vein 6, where previous drilling identified high-grade mineralization in several stacked shear zones.
At Efemcukuru, 8,255 metres of drilling was completed during the quarter on the Kokarpinar vein systems and on vein targets in the footwall to the Kestane Beleni vein system. This included stepout drilling of inferred resources zones at Kokarpinar South, and delination drilling at Kokarpinar Middle.
At Stratoni, 815 metres of drilling targeted the lower part of the Mavres Petres orebody during the quarter. Drilling was suspended early in the quarter to allow for development of additional underground platforms to target extensions to mineralization defined by recent drill intercepts. Late in the quarter, underground drilling commenced at the Olympias mine, testing targets associated with marble lenses in the immediate footwall to existing ore bodies.

Revenue and earnings were impacted by delayed shipments of Efemcukuru concentrate in Q1 2019 that were completed in Q2 2019. This timing issue resulted in lower sales volumes in Q1 2019 and higher sales volumes in Q2 2019.
The commencement of commercial operations at Lamaque in Q2 2019 and at Olympias in Q1 2018 impacted both revenue and net earnings (loss) in the respective subsequent periods. The suspension of placement of new ore on the Kisladag heap leach pad negatively impacted revenue and net earnings in the second half of 2018 and in the first half of 2019.
Net earnings in Q3 2018 and Q4 2018 were negatively impacted by impairments of the Company's assets in Greece and Turkey.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019  	 		

Financial Condition and Liquidity
Operating Activities
Net cash generated from operating activities was $51.2 million in Q3 2019 compared to $14.0 million in Q3 2018 and $101.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $62.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increases in both periods were primarily a result of higher sales volumes and a higher average realized gold price in Q3 2019. Interest payments of $3.5 million were made in Q3 2019 relating to the Company's $200 million term loan. Interest payments were $18.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and included $14.9 million of interest paid in Q2 2019, primarily relating to the $600 million senior notes at the time of their redemption in June 2019.
The negative working capital change of $11.7 million in Q3 2019 reflected an increase in inventory and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the quarter, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable. The increase in inventory primarily relates to the Kisladag heap leach pad as new material was added through the quarter following the resumption of mining and stacking activities in April 2019. The decrease in accounts payable included $8.6 million of tax payments.
Investing Activities
The Company invested $34.8 million and $148.7 million in capital expenditures on a cash basis in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
Sustaining capital spending at producing mines, including capitalized leases, totalled $33.7 million and $62.5 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Growth and development project capital expenditure was $8.2 million and $44.0 million in the respective three and nine-month periods on an accrual basis. Differences between capital expenditures on a cash basis and an accrual basis primarily reflect the timing of payments and equipment purchased through leasing arrangements. In Q3 2019, growth and development project expenditure of $5.0 million at Lamaque included the partial repurchase of a net smelter return royalty interest, as well as remaining equipment purchases. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, growth and development project expenditure primarily reflected spending at Lamaque in Q1 2019 prior to commencing commercial operations in Q2 2019 and included $3.8 million of capitalized interest and $12.2 million net proceeds from pre-commercial production sales in the first half of 2019. Capitalized evaluation expenditures totalled $3.2 million and $8.2 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, related to delineation drilling programs.
Payments of interest attributable to the financing of project construction or development is capitalized for accounting purposes and included in investing activities. $3.8 million of capitalized interest was paid in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 relating to Lamaque. No interest was capitalized in Q3 2019 following the commencement of commercial operations at Lamaque in April 2019 and the transfer of Skouries to care and maintenance at the end of 2018.
Investment in capital expenditure in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was partially offset by a release of $10.5 million of restricted cash used to secure certain reclamation obligations in connection with the Company's operations that are now secured under the Company's revolving credit facility.
Financing Activities
On June 5, 2019, the Company completed an offering of $300 million senior secured second lien notes (the "senior secured notes”) at 98% of par value, with a coupon rate of 9.5% due June 1, 2024. In May 2019, the Company also executed a $450 million amended and restated senior secured credit facility (“the third amended and restated credit agreement” or “TARCA”), consisting of:
		
•	a $200 million non-revolving term loan repayable in six equal semi-annual payments commencing June 30, 2020 (the "term loan"); and	
		
•	a $250 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of June 5, 2024.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019  	 		

Net proceeds from the senior secured notes and term loan, together with $100 million of cash on hand, were used to redeem in whole for cash the Company's existing $600 million 6.125% notes due December 2020. Accrued interest of $18.1 million was also paid upon redemption.
$300 million Senior Secured Second Lien Notes
The senior secured notes pay interest semi-annually on June 1 and December 1, beginning December 1, 2019. The Company received $287.1 million from the offering, which is net of the original issue discount of $6.0 million, and the commission payment and certain transaction costs paid to or on behalf of lenders totalling $6.9 million. The debt is also presented net of transaction costs of $2.3 million incurred directly by the Company in conjunction with the offering. The original discount, commission payment and transaction costs will be amortized over the term of the senior secured notes and included as finance costs. Net proceeds from the senior secured notes were used to redeem in part the Company’s outstanding $600 million 6.125% senior notes due December 15, 2020.
The senior secured notes are secured on a second lien basis by a general security agreement from the Company by the Company’s real property in Canada and shares of SG Resources B.V., Tüprag Metal, Eldorado Gold (Greece) BV, Integra Gold Corp. and Integra Gold (Québec) Inc., all wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.
The senior secured notes are redeemable by the Company in whole or in part, for cash:
		
i)	At any time prior to December 1, 2021 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured notes, accrued and unpaid interest and a premium at the greater of 1% of the principal value of the notes to be redeemed, or the present value of remaining interest to December 1, 2021 discounted at the treasury yield plus 50 basis points.	
		
ii)	On and after the dates provided below, at the redemption prices, expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the senior secured notes:	
December 1, 2021               107.125%
December 1, 2022 and thereafter    100.000%
The redemption features described above constitute an embedded derivative which was separately recognized at its fair value of $1.4 million on initial recognition of the senior secured notes and recorded in other assets. The embedded derivative is classified as fair value through profit and loss. The change in fair value between the initial recognition date and September 30, 2019 was not significant.
The senior secured notes contain covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur certain capital expenditures, distributions in certain circumstances and sales of material assets, in each case, subject to certain conditions. The Company is in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2019.
The fair market value of the senior secured notes as at September 30, 2019 is $325 million.
$450 million Senior Secured Credit Facility
The TARCA contains covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur additional unsecured indebtedness except in compliance with certain conditions, incur certain lease obligations, make distributions in certain circumstances, sell material assets or carry on a business other than one related to mining. Significant financial covenants include a minimum Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) to interest ratio and a maximum debt net of unrestricted cash ("net debt") to EBITDA ratio ("net leverage ratio"). The Company is in compliance with its covenants at September 30, 2019.
Both the term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25% – 3.25%, dependent on a net leverage ratio pricing grid. The Company’s current interest charges and fees are as follows: LIBOR plus margin of 3.25% on the term loan and any amounts drawn from the revolving credit facility, LIBOR plus margin of 2.17% on non-financial letters of credit secured by the revolving credit facility and 0.8125% standby fees on the available and undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019  	 		

The TARCA is secured on a first lien basis by a general security agreement from the Company, the Company's real property in Canada and shares of SG Resources B.V., Tüprag Metal, Eldorado Gold (Greece) BV, Integra Gold Corp. and Integra Gold (Québec) Inc., all wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.
The term loan is presented net of transaction costs of $2.6 million incurred in conjunction with the amendment. The transaction costs will be recognized over the term of the term loan. Fees of $3.2 million relating to the undrawn revolving credit facility have been recorded in other assets and will be amortized over the term of the TARCA.
No amounts were drawn down under the revolving credit facility in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and as at September 30, 2019, the balance is nil.
In September 2019, the Company established an at-the-market equity program (the “ATM Program”) which allows the Company to issue up to $125 million worth of common shares from treasury from time to time at prevailing market prices. The volume and timing of distributions under the ATM Program, if any, will be determined at the Company’s sole discretion, subject to applicable regulatory limitations. No common shares have been issued under the ATM as at October 31, 2019. The ATM Program will be effective until September 26, 2021.
Capital Resources

							
 	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018		
Cash and cash equivalents and term deposits		$134.9			$293.0		
Working capital	203.5		373.0		
Restricted collateralized accounts	—		0.3		

At September 30, 2019, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and term deposits of $134.9 million compared to $293.0 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to cash used in the refinancing of the Company's $600 million 6.125% notes due December 2020.
At September 30, 2019, the Company has $181 million available under its $250 million revolving credit facility. As at September 30, 2019, the Company has outstanding EUR 57.7 million ($62.8 million) in non-financial letters of credit. In October 2019, an additional CAD 0.4 million ($0.3 million) in non-financial letters of credit were outstanding. The non-financial letters of credit were issued to secure certain obligations in connection with the Company's operations. The non-financial letters of credit reduce availability under the revolving credit facility by corresponding amounts. Concurrent to the establishment of the facility, $10.6 million of restricted cash was released that had previously been held to secure letters of credit.
Working capital at September 30, 2019 excludes $12.6 million of assets and $4.2 million of liabilities relating to Vila Nova that have been classified as held-for-sale.
Management believes that the working capital of $203.5 million as at September 30, 2019, together with future cash flows from operations and access to the undrawn revolving credit facility, if required, are sufficient to support the Company's planned and foreseeable commitments for the next twelve months.

Cash Operating Costs, Cash Operating Costs per Ounce Sold
Cash operating costs and cash operating costs per ounce sold are non-IFRS measures. In the gold mining industry, these metrics are common performance measures but do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The Company follows the recommendations of the Gold Institute Production Cost Standard. The Gold Institute, which ceased operations in 2002, was a non-regulatory body and represented a global group of producers of gold and gold products. The production cost standard developed by the Gold Institute remains the generally accepted standard of reporting cash operating costs of production by gold mining companies. Cash operating costs include mine site operating costs such as mining, processing and administration, but exclude royalty expenses, depreciation and depletion and share based payment expenses and reclamation costs. Revenue from sales of by-products including silver, lead and zinc reduce cash operating costs. Cash operating costs per ounce sold is based on ounces sold and is calculated by dividing cash operating costs by volume of gold ounces sold. The Company discloses cash operating costs and cash operating costs per ounce sold as it believes the measures provide valuable assistance to investors and analysts in evaluating the Company’s operational performance and ability to generate cash flow. The most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with IFRS is production costs. Cash operating costs and cash operating costs per ounce of gold sold should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Total Cash Costs, Total Cash Costs per ounce sold
Total cash costs and total cash costs per ounce sold are non-IFRS measures. In the gold mining industry, these metrics are common performance measures but do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The Company defines total cash costs as the sum of cash operating costs (as defined and calculated above) and royalties and production taxes. Total cash costs per ounce sold is based on ounces sold and is calculated by dividing total cash costs by volume of gold ounces sold. The Company discloses total cash costs and total cash costs per ounce sold as it believes the measures provide valuable assistance to investors and analysts in evaluating the Company’s operational performance and ability to generate cash flow. The most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with IFRS is production costs. Total cash costs and total cash costs per ounce of gold sold should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Total cash costs per ounce sold		$603			$762			$641			$647		

All-in Sustaining Costs
AISC and AISC per ounce sold are non-IFRS measures. These measures are intended to assist readers in evaluating the total costs of producing gold from current operations. While there is no standardized meaning across the industry for this measure, the Company’s definition conforms to the definition of AISC set out by the World Gold Council and the updated guidance note dated November 14, 2018. The Company defines AISC as the sum of total cash costs (as defined and calculated above), sustaining capital expenditure (including capitalized stripping and underground mine development), sustaining leases (cash basis), exploration and evaluation cost related to current operations (including capitalized evaluation costs), corporate expenses and reclamation cost accretion and amortization related to current operations. Corporate and allocated general and administrative expenses include general and administrative expenses, share-based payments and defined benefit pension plan expense. Corporate and allocated general and administrative expenses do not include non-cash depreciation.
As this measure seeks to reflect the full cost of gold production from current operations, growth capital and reclamation cost accretion not related to operating gold mines are excluded. Certain other cash expenditures, including tax payments, financing charges (including capitalized interest), except for financing charges related to leasing arrangements, and costs related to business combinations, asset acquisitions and asset disposals are also excluded.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019  	 		

Cash Flow from Operations before Changes in Working Capital
The Company uses cash flow from operations (or operating activities) before changes in non-cash working capital to supplement its consolidated financial statements and exclude the period to period movement of non-cash working capital items, such as accounts receivable, advances and deposits, inventory, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company believes this provides an alternative indication of its cash flow from operations and may be meaningful to investors in evaluating its past performance or future prospects. It is not meant to be a substitute for cash flow from operations (or operating activities), which is calculated in accordance with IFRS.

Sustaining and Growth Capital
Sustaining capital and growth capital are non-IFRS measures. The Company defines sustaining capital as capital required to maintain current operations at existing levels. Sustaining capital does not include expenditure related to capitalized evaluation, development projects, or other growth or sustaining capital not related to operating gold mines. Sustaining capital also excludes capitalized interest and sustaining leases. Growth capital is defined as capital expenditures for major growth projects or enhancement capital for significant infrastructure improvements at existing operations.

Average Realized Price per ounce sold
In the gold mining industry, average realized price per ounce sold is a common performance measure that does not have any standardized meaning. The most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with IFRS is revenue. Average realized price per ounce sold should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure is intended to assist readers in evaluating the total revenues realized in a period from current operations.

Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss)
Adjusted net earnings (loss) and adjusted net earnings (loss) per share are used by management and investors to measure the underlying operating performance of the Company. Adjusted net earnings (loss) is defined as net earnings (loss) adjusted to exclude the after-tax impact of specific items that are significant, but not reflective of the underlying operations of the Company, including impairment adjustments and reversals; foreign exchange on deferred tax balances; gain (loss) on sale of securities; gain (loss) on disposal of assets; other write-down of assets; transaction costs and executive severance payments, and other non-recurring items. Adjusted net earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding for adjusted net earnings (loss) per share.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization (" Adjusted EBITDA")
EBITDA from continuing operations represents net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. In addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, the Company and certain investors use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as an indicator of the Company's ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations and fund capital expenditures. EBITDA is also frequently used

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS

by investors and analysts for valuation purposes based on an observed or inferred relationship between EBITDA and market values to determine the approximate total enterprise value of a company. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude the impact of cash costs of financing activities and taxes, and the effects of changes in operating working capital balances, and therefore are not necessarily indicative of operating earnings or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently.

Working Capital
Working capital is a non-IFRS measure. In the gold mining industry, working capital is a common measure of liquidity, but does not have any standardized meaning. The most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with IFRS is current assets and current liabilities. Working capital is calculated by deducting current liabilities from current assets. Working capital should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute from measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure is intended to assist readers in evaluating the Company’s liquidity.
Working capital for the periods highlighted is as follows:

								
 	As at September 30, 2019		 	As at December 31, 2018

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019  	 		

Managing Risk
In its exploration, development and mining of mineral deposits, the Company is subject to various, significant risks. Several of these financial and operational risks could have a significant impact on the Company's cash flows and profitability. The most significant risks and uncertainties faced by the Company include: the price of gold; the uncertainty of production estimates, including the ability to extract anticipated tonnes and successfully realize estimated grades; changes to operating and capital cost assumptions; the inherent risk associated with project development and permitting processes; the uncertainty of the mineral resources and their development into mineral reserves; the replacement of depleted reserves and the expected impact on reserves and the carrying value of the Company's properties; the updating of resource and reserve models and life of mine plans; foreign exchange risks; regulatory; financing; tax as well as health, safety, and environmental risks. These risks are not the only risks and uncertainties the Company faces. Risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
For a comprehensive discussion on risks and uncertainties, in respect of the Company's business and share price, refer to the section 'Risk Factors in Our Business' in the Company’s current AIF for the year ended December 31, 2018, which risks are incorporated by reference in this MD&A.
Significant changes to our financial, operational and business risk exposure during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 include the following:

•	Following the refinancing of the Company's debt in June 2019, management believes that the working capital at September 30, 2019, together with expected cash flows from operations and access to the undrawn credit facility, if required, is sufficient to support the Company's planned and foreseeable commitments for the next twelve months. However, if planning and budgeting is materially different to that forecasted, or financing, if required, is not available to the Company on terms satisfactory to meet these material changes to planning or budgeting, then this may adversely affect the ability of the Company to meet its financial obligations and operational and development plans. 	

•	The Company invests its cash and cash equivalents in major financial institutions and in government issuances, according to the Company's short-term investment policy. As at September 30, 2019, the Company holds a significant amount of cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions in North America and the United Kingdom. The Company monitors the credit ratings of all financial institutions in which it holds cash and investments. During 2019, Turkey's sovereign credit ratings have been downgraded, followed by the downgrade of the credit ratings of numerous Turkish banking institutions, including one at which the Company holds cash. As at September 30, 2019, the Company holds less than 8% of its cash in financial institutions in Turkey. The credit risk associated with financial institutions in other jurisdictions continues to be considered as low. There can be no assurance that certain financial institutions in foreign countries in which the Company operates will not default on their commitments.	

•	The Company sells gold in U.S. dollars, but incurs costs mainly in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, Turkish Lira, Brazilian Real, Euros, and Romanian Lei. Any change in the value of any of these currencies against the U.S. dollar can impact production costs and capital expenditures, which can affect future cash flow, business, results of operations, financial condition and the Eldorado Gold share price and lead to higher operation, construction, development and other costs than anticipated. As at September 30, 2019, approximately 83% of cash and cash equivalents is held in U.S. dollars. The amount of cash and cash equivalents held in Canadian dollars was 6% at September 30, 2019 to support operations at Lamaque following the commencement of commercial production in April 2019. The Company has a risk management policy that contemplates potential hedging of its foreign exchange exposure to reduce the risk associated with currency fluctuations. The Company currently does not have any currency hedges, but may hedge in the future. There is no assurance that any hedges that may be put in place will mitigate these risks or that they will not cause the Company to experience less favourable economic outcomes than it would have experienced if it had no hedges in place.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019  	 		

		
•	Interest rates determine how much interest the Company pays on its debt, and how much is earned on cash and cash equivalent balances, which can affect future cash flows. Subsequent to refinancing the Company's debt in June 2019, outstanding debt is in the form of senior notes with a fixed interest rate of 9.5% and a term loan with a variable rate based on LIBOR. Borrowings under the Company’s senior credit facility, if drawn, are also at variable rates of interest. Borrowings at variable rates of interest expose the Company to interest rate cost and interest rate risk. The Company currently does not have any interest rate swaps (that involve the exchange of floating for fixed rate interest payments in order to reduce interest rate volatility), but may enter into such swaps in the future. There is no assurance that any interest rate swaps that may be put in place will mitigate these risks or that they will not cause the Company to experience less favourable economic outcomes than would have been experienced if the Company had no such swaps in place.	

These are not the only risks that could have an effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition and share price and other risks may become more material to the Company in the future or the above risks could diminish in importance, depending on the current circumstances of its business and operations.
The reader should carefully review each of the risk factors set out in the Company's most recently filed AIF, in respect of the year ended December 31, 2018 which risk factors provide a detailed discussion of the foregoing risks as well as a detailed discussion of other relevant risks.

Accounting Matters
Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Upcoming Changes
The accounting policies applied in the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are the same as those applied in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 other than as described below.
a)IFRS 16 ‘Leases’
IFRS 16 introduces a single accounting model for lessees. The Company, as lessee, is required to recognize a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability, representing its obligation to make lease payments. The Company was permitted to elect to not apply IFRS 16 to leases with a term of less than 12 months, which election is made by the underlying class of assets to which the right of use asset relates, or leases where the underlying asset is of low value, which election is made on an asset by asset basis. The accounting treatment for lessors remains largely the same as under IAS 17 'Leases'.
The Company adopted this standard from January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Accordingly, the comparative information presented for 2018 has not been restated.
Previously, the Company determined at contract inception whether an arrangement was or contained a lease under IFRIC 4, ‘Determining Whether an Arrangement contains a Lease’. On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company now assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on whether the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On transition to IFRS 16, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient permitted by the standard to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed using the definition of a lease under IFRS 16. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 has been applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019  	 		

The Company leases various assets including equipment, offices and properties that had previously been classified as operating leases under IAS 17. On adoption of IFRS 16, liabilities for these leases were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 was 13.1%. The Company elected to measure the right-of-use assets for these leases at amounts equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments recognized in the statement of financial position on December 31, 2018.
On initial adoption, the Company used the following practical expedients as permitted by the standard when applying IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17.
		
•	Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with low value.	
		
•	Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term remaining.	
		
•	Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics (such as leases in a similar economic environment).	
		
•	Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.	
		
•	Used hindsight, such as in determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.	
The Company also leases various equipment that had previously been classified as finance leases under IAS 17. For these finance leases, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at January 1, 2019 were determined at the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability under IAS 17 immediately before that date.
The impact on transition is summarized below.

												
 	December 31, 2018		 	IFRS 16 Adjustment		 	January 1, 2019		
 	 	 	 	 	 	
Lease assets presented in property, plant and equipment                                    	$	11.3		 	$	9.4		 	$	20.7		
Lease liabilities – current                                                     	3.0		 	2.7		 	5.6		
Lease liabilities – non-current                                              	6.5		 	6.2		 	12.7		
Accounts receivable and other	81.0		 	(0.6	)	 	80.4		

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company excluded certain arrangements which management concluded were not within the scope of IFRS 16 because they are arrangements for the use of land that grant the Company the right to explore, develop, produce or otherwise use the mineral resource contained in that land. A reconciliation of lease commitments previously reported and the amount of the lease liability recognized is as follows:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019  	 		

	
				
 	January 1, 2019		
 	 	
Operating lease commitments at December 31, 2018	$	64.7		
Exclusion of arrangements to explore for or use minerals	(53.2	)	
Leases with low value at January 1, 2019	(1.7	)	
Leases with less than 12 months of remaining lease term at January 1, 2019	(0.9	)	
Arrangements reassessed as leases	3.1		
Effect of discounting using the incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019	(3.2	)	
Lease liabilities recognized as IFRS 16 adjustment at January 1, 2019	$	8.8		
The following is the new accounting policy for leases under IFRS 16:
A contract is or contains a lease when the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and is adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability. The cost of the right of use asset includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs; and if applicable, an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Company in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate of interest that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.
The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Company applies judgment to determine the lease term for some lease contracts which contain renewal options.
The Company does not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets, leases with lease terms that are less than 12 months and arrangements for the use of land that grant the Company the right to explore, develop, produce or otherwise use the mineral resource contained in that land. Lease payments associated with these arrangements are instead recognized as an expense over the term on either a straight-line basis, or another systematic basis if more representative of the pattern of benefit. The Company applies judgment in determining whether an arrangement grants the Company the right to explore, develop, produce or otherwise use the mineral resource contained in that land.
		
b)	IFRIC 23 'Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments'	
This interpretation sets out how to determine the accounting tax position when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. At January 1, 2019, the Company adopted this standard and there was no material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019  	 		

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Management, including the CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act of 1934 and NI 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, and uses the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013) framework on Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements because of inherent limitations. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the Company’s policies and procedures. Based on this assessment and the material weakness in internal controls outlined below, Management concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2018.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected.
During the 2018 year-end audit process, a material weakness was identified in internal controls performed by Management in their evaluation of impairment of goodwill and mining property, plant and equipment; specifically, the review controls performed failed to detect an error in the application of discounting to the cash flow models used in the estimation of fair value less costs of disposal. Internal controls were not effective to ensure consistent and correct application of mid-period discounting as used in prior periods. This resulted in a $39.5 million overstatement of the impairment charge initially recorded to property, plant and equipment in respect of the Company’s Olympias cash generating unit as at December 31, 2018. This overstatement was corrected in the Company’s financial statements prior to issuance by reducing the impairment charge in Q4 2018 from $370 million to $330 million ($248 million net of deferred tax recovery). There was no misstatement to prior period published consolidated financial statements.
Management’s Remediation Plan
Management believes this material weakness in internal controls is an isolated event and is not pervasive.
Management's remediation plan has been implemented and includes strengthening of the controls and processes to track and approve changes in the impairment models, particularly those relating to convention changes, and updating the control precision levels pertaining to logged changes to the impairment analysis.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, other than the identification of the material weakness identified as at year ended December 31, 2018, and the associated remediation plan enhancements to the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of Controls and Procedures
Management, including the CEO and CFO, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Qualified Person
Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Except as otherwise noted, Paul Skayman, FAusIMM, the Company's Chief Operating Officer, is the Qualified Person under NI 43-101 responsible for preparing and supervising the preparation of the scientific or technical information contained in this MD&A and verifying the technical data disclosed in this document relating to the Company's operating mines and development projects.

Forward-Looking Statements and Information
Certain of the statements made and information provided in this MD&A are forward-looking statements or information within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian securities laws. Often, these forward-looking statements and forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", “continue”, “projected”, "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "believes" or the negatives thereof or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.
Forward-looking statements or information contained in this MD&A include, but are not limited to, statements or information with respect to: our guidance and outlook, including expected production, cost guidance and recoveries of gold, favourable economics for our heap leaching plan and the ability to extend mine life at our projects, including at Kisladag through further metallurgical tests on deeper material, completion and results of waste stripping at Kisladag, improved production at Olympias, completion and results of construction and the PEA at Lamaque, achievement of conditions required to re-start full construction at Skouries, completion of construction at Skouries, planned capital and exploration expenditures; conversion of mineral resources to mineral reserves, sales of any common shares pursuant to the ATM program, our expectation as to our future financial and operating performance, including expectations around generating significant cash flow from operations, expected metallurgical recoveries, gold price outlook and the global concentrate market; and our strategy, plans and goals, including our proposed exploration, development, construction, permitting and operating plans and priorities and related timelines and schedules.
Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information by their nature are based on assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or information.
We have made certain assumptions about the forward-looking statements and information, including assumptions about the geopolitical, economic, permitting and legal climate that we operate in; the future price of gold and other commodities; the global concentrate market; exchange rates; anticipated costs and expenses; production, mineral reserves and resources and metallurgical recoveries, the impact of acquisitions, dispositions, suspensions or delays on our business and the ability to achieve our goals. In particular, except where otherwise stated, we have assumed a continuation of existing business operations on substantially the same basis as exists at the time of this MD&A.
Even though our management believes that the assumptions made and the expectations represented by such statements or information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statement or information will prove to be accurate. Many assumptions may be difficult to predict and are beyond our control.
Furthermore, should one or more of the risks, uncertainties or other factors materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements or information. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others: results of further testwork, recoveries of gold and other metals; geopolitical and economic climate (global and local), risks related to mineral tenure and permits; gold and other commodity price volatility; continued softening of the global concentrate market; risks regarding potential and pending litigation and arbitration proceedings relating to the Company’s, business, properties and operations; expected impact on reserves and the carrying value; the updating of the reserve and resource models and life of mine plans; mining operational and development risk; financing risks, foreign country operational risks; risks of sovereign investment; regulatory risks and liabilities including environmental regulatory restrictions and liability; discrepancies between actual and estimated production; additional funding requirements; currency fluctuations;

community and non-governmental organization actions; speculative nature of gold exploration; dilution; share price volatility and the price of the common shares of the Company; competition; loss of key employees; and defective title to mineral claims or properties, as well as those risk factors discussed in the section titled “Managing Risk” above. The reader is also directed to carefully review the detailed risk discussion in our most recent AIF filed in respect of the year-ended December 31, 2018 filed on SEDAR under the Company's name, for a fuller understanding of the risks and uncertainties that affect the Company’s business and operations.
Forward-looking statements and information is designed to help you understand management’s current views of our near and longer term prospects, and it may not be appropriate for other purposes.
There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements or information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements or information contained herein. Except as required by law, we do not expect to update forward-looking statements and information continually as conditions change.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources
The terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource”, “inferred mineral resource” used herein are Canadian mining terms used in accordance with NI 43-101 under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as may be amended from time to time. These definitions differ from the definitions under SEC Industry Guide 7. In the United States, under SEC Industry Guide 7, a mineral reserve is defined as a part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time the mineral reserve determination is made.
While the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource,” “indicated mineral resource”, and “inferred mineral resource” are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under SEC Industry guide 7 and have historically not been permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. As such, information contained herein concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies who report pursuant to SEC Industry Guide 7.
Accordingly, information herein containing descriptions of our mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by US companies pursuant to Industry Guide 7.
