VANCOUVER, Aug. 3, 2017 /CNW/ - Eldorado Gold ("Eldorado" or the "Company") today provides an update on Greece.
Today, the Greek Ministry of Energy and Environment issued a press release stating their intention to have arbitration underway by the end of the month. This release also stated that all permits outstanding for Olympias are underway, while the permits for Skouries remain unissued.
George Burns commented, "While the press release did not result in any additional clarity regarding the details of the intended arbitration by the Greek government, the Ministry stated that this is the best path forward in resolving all outstanding issues with the Company's projects. To be clear, we have not yet received formal notice of arbitration and permits applied for remain unissued.
