Eldorado Gold Added to S&P/TSX Composite Index
VANCOUVER, BC – Paul N. Wright, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado Gold Corporation (the “Company” or “Eldorado” or “we”) is pleased to announce that effective March 21, 2003 Eldorado will be added to the S&P/TSX Composite Index (“Index”) and the Global Industry Classification Standard Sector — Material, Gold.
The Index is used by the financial community at large as a broad indicator of market activity for the largest companies on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
“The addition of Eldorado to the Index is an important milestone in our Company’s growth,” commented Paul N. Wright. ” Being a part of the Index will help us to broaden our shareholder base and provide added visibility as we continue with our plan of controlled, profitable and sustainable growth”.
The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company will be held in Vancouver on Wednesday, April 30, 2003 at 3:00 p.m.
Eldorado is a gold producing and exploration company with gold assets in Brazil and Turkey; two countries that we believe have substantial geological potential. 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.

ELDORADO GOLD CORPORATION
