AI desk brief

Eldorado Gold produced first copper-gold concentrate at its Skouries project in Greece, marking a key commissioning milestone as the mine transitions from construction to operations. The company says Skouries remains on track for commercial production in Q4 2026, with all major plant systems now running and the ore stockpile above 4.6 million tonnes, enough for more than seven months of processing capacity.

Life-of-mine output is projected at an average 140,000 oz of gold and 67 million lb of copper annually. Eldorado also said the project is awaiting final connection to Greece’s national grid in September, making the ramp-up and grid tie-in the near-term catalysts to watch.
