Eldorado Gold Corporation: Tanjianshan Mine Receives Gold Mining Certificate

Paul N. Wright, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado Gold Corporation ("Eldorado" the "Company" or "we") (TSX: ELD)(AMEX: EGO), is pleased to announce that Eldorado Gold's 90% owned Tanjianshan Gold Mine in Qinghai Province, China, has received its Gold Mining Certificate from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).

The Gold Mining Certificate (the "Certificate") certifies the Company as an official gold producer under the Laws of the People's Republic of China. The Certificate is the first one granted to a North American gold producer with operations in China.

Paul Wright commented, "The Certificate solidifies Eldorado's position as the leading North American gold producer in China and is a testament to the emphasis that we place on good relations with the governmental agencies in all the jurisdictions in which we work. I would like to thank our staff in China for this accomplishment and for the successful completion of permitting of the Tanjianshan Gold Mine."

Eldorado is a gold producing and exploration company actively growing businesses in Brazil, Turkey and China. We operate the Sao Bento Mine, Kisladag Mine and Tanjianshan Mine. With our international expertise in mining, finance and project development, together with highly skilled and dedicated staff, we believe that Eldorado is well positioned to grow in value as we create and pursue new opportunities.
