"On behalf of the Board, we would like to thank our shareholders for their ongoing feedback and support for the governance efforts and the strategic direction we have undertaken," said Steven Reid, Chair of Eldorado Gold's Board of Directors.
“Further, we would like to thank George Albino, who did not stand for re-election this year, for his sound counsel and guidance during his tenure,” continued Mr. Reid. “During his five-and-a-half-years of service, George served on numerous key Board committees and was Chair during three transformative years at Eldorado, from 2018 to 2021. His guidance during this time was invaluable to the Board and Eldorado’s leadership team, and he will be greatly missed.”

Prior to his retirement from his 20-year tenure at the Royal Bank, he held varying roles, including Managing Director and Head of Global Mining Research from 2007 to 2020. Please join me in welcoming Stephen to the Board,” said Steve Reid.
