Pomerantz Law Firm Launches Investigation into Eldorado Gold Corporation Investor Claims
In a significant development for investors, Pomerantz Law Firm has announced an investigation into potential claims on behalf of shareholders of Eldorado Gold Corporation (NYSE: EGO). This inquiry focuses on allegations of possible securities fraud and other questionable business practices within the company. Investors are encouraged to reach out to Pomerantz's attorney Danielle Peyton at [email protected] or by calling 646-581-9980, extension 7980, to discuss their options and learn more about the ongoing investigation.
The roots of this investigation lie in a recent press release issued by Eldorado Gold on February 5, 2025. In this communication, the company provided an update on the ongoing construction of its much-anticipated copper-gold Skouries Project, along with financial guidance for the year and a three-year production outlook. Notably, the release highlighted critical challenges faced during the project's construction phase, particularly the shortage of skilled labor in Greece, which has hindered progress at Skouries. The company disclosed that this labor market tightness has impeded the ramp-up of the workforce, thereby negatively impacting project timelines.
Consequently, Eldorado Gold adjusted its expected timeline for the commencement of production at Skouries. Initial production is now anticipated in the first quarter of 2026, with commercial production not expected to commence until mid-2026. Furthermore, the company revealed a significant increase in the estimated capital costs for the project, now projected to total approximately $1.06 billion. This figure indicates a rise of around $143 million, or 15.5%, above previous estimates.
To address these issues, Eldorado is taking proactive steps by accelerating the purchase of higher capacity mobile mining equipment, initially planned for post-commercial production. This decision amounts to $154 million in operational capital before the official start of production.
The market reacted swiftly to this news, with Eldorado's stock price falling by $1.78 per share, a notable decline of 11.27%, closing at $14.01 on February 6, 2025. This plummet reflects investor concerns regarding the company's ability to meet its production targets and manage costs effectively amid ongoing challenges.
