104、 operating in the manner intended by management,including capitalized borrowing costs for qualifying assets.Proceeds from selling items before the related item of property,plant and equipment is available for use is recognized in profit or loss,together with the costs of producing those items.(iii)D
105、eferred stripping costsStripping costs incurred during the production phase of a surface mine are considered production costs and included in the cost of inventory produced during the period in which the stripping costs are incurred,unless the stripping activity can be shown to provide access to add
106、itional mineral reserves,in which case the stripping costs are capitalized.Stripping costs incurred to prepare the ore body for extraction are capitalized as mine development costs(pre-stripping).Eldorado Gold CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31,2

108、stimated useful life is the same as the remaining life of the mine are depreciated,depleted and amortized over a mines estimated life using the units-of-production method.Under this method,capitalized costs are multiplied by the number of tonnes mined,and divided by the estimated recoverable tonnes
109、contained in proven and probable reserves and a portion of resources where it is considered highly probable that those resources will be economically extracted over the life of the mine.Management reviews the estimated total recoverable tonnes contained in reserves and resources annually,and when ev
110、ents and circumstances indicate that such a review should be made.To reflect the pattern in which each assets future economic benefits are expected to be consumed based on current mine plans,inferred resources are included in total estimated recoverable tonnes on a mine by mine basis if it is consid
111、ered highly probable that those resources will be economically extracted,and the amounts of highly probable inferred resources are significant.Changes to estimated total recoverable tonnes contained in reserves and resources are accounted for prospectively.Capitalized stripping costs are amortized o
112、n a unit-of-production basis over the proven and probable reserves to which they relate.Property,plant and equipment and other assets whose estimated useful lives are less than the remaining life of the mine are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.Where
113、 components of an asset have a different useful life and the cost of the component is significant to the total cost of the asset,depreciation is calculated on each separate component.Depreciation methods,useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each year and adjusted if appropriat
114、e.Assets under construction are capitalized as capital works in progress until the asset is available for use.Capital works in progress are not depreciated.Depreciation commences once the asset is complete and available for use.Certain mineral property,exploration and evaluation expenditures are cap
115、italized and are not subject to depreciation until the property is ready for its intended use.(v)Subsequent costsExpenditure on major maintenance or repairs includes the cost of replacement parts of assets and overhaul costs.Where an asset or part of an asset is replaced and it is probable that furt
116、her future economic benefit will flow to the Company,the expenditure is capitalized and the carrying value of the replaced asset or part of an asset is derecognized.Similarly,overhaul costs associated with major maintenance are capitalized when it is probable that future economic benefit will flow t
117、o the Company and any remaining costs of previous overhauls relating to the same asset are derecognized.All other expenditures are expensed as incurred.(vi)Borrowing costsBorrowing costs are expensed as incurred except where they are attributable to the financing of construction or development of qu
118、alifying assets requiring a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended future use.The Company has defined any period of 12 months and longer as a substantial period of time.Interest is capitalized up to the date when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the asset for i
119、ts intended use are complete.Interest is ceased to be capitalized during periods of prolonged suspension of construction or development.Borrowing costs are classified as cash outflows from operating activities on the statements of cash flows except for borrowing costs capitalized which are classifie
120、d as investing activities.Investment income arising on the temporary investment of proceeds from borrowings specific to qualifying assets is offset against borrowing costs being capitalized.(vii)Mine standby costs and restructuring costsMine standby costs and costs related to restructuring a mining
121、operation are charged directly to expense in the period incurred.Mine standby costs include labour,maintenance and mine support costs incurred during temporary shutdowns of a mine or a development project.Eldorado Gold CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended Dece
122、mber 31,2023 and December 31,2022(Currency amounts in thousands,unless otherwise stated except share and per share amounts)(4)3.Material accounting policies(continued)3.4 Leases A contract is or contains a lease when the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period
123、 of time in exchange for consideration.The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost,and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses,and is adjusted for certain re
124、measurements of the lease liability.The cost of the right-of-use asset includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability,any lease payments made at or before the commencement date,less any lease incentives received,any initial direct costs;and if applicable,an estimate of costs t
125、o be incurred by the Company in dismantling and removing the underlying asset,restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.Right-of-use assets are presented in property,plant and equipment on the statem
126、ents of financial position.The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date,discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or,if that rate cannot be readily determined,the Companys incremental borrowing rate.The
127、 incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate of interest that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the
128、lease liability and decreased by lease payments made.It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate,a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee,or as appropriate,changes in the assessment o
129、f whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.The Company applies judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts which contain renewal options.The Company does not recognize right-of-us
130、e assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets,leases with lease terms that are less than 12 months at inception and arrangements for the use of land that grant the Company the right to explore,develop,produce or otherwise use the mineral resource contained in that land.Lease payments
131、 associated with these arrangements are instead recognized as an expense over the term on either a straight-line basis,or another systematic basis if more representative of the pattern of benefit.The Company applies judgement in determining whether an arrangement grants the Company the right to expl
132、ore,develop,produce or otherwise use the mineral resource contained in that land.3.5 Exploration,evaluation and development expenditures(i)ExplorationExploration expenditures reflect the costs related to the initial search for mineral deposits with economic potential or obtaining more information ab
133、out existing mineral deposits.Exploration expenditures typically include costs associated with the acquisition of mineral licences,prospecting,sampling,mapping,diamond drilling and other work involved in searching for mineral deposits.All expenditures relating to exploration activities are expensed
134、as incurred except for the costs associated with the acquisition of mineral licences which are capitalized in property,plant and equipment.Eldorado Gold CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31,2023 and December 31,2022(Currency amounts in thousands,un
135、less otherwise stated except share and per share amounts)(5)3.Material accounting policies(continued)3.5 Exploration,evaluation and development expenditures(continued)(ii)EvaluationEvaluation expenditures reflect costs incurred at projects related to establishing the technical and commercial viabili
136、ty of mineral deposits identified through exploration or acquired through a business combination or asset acquisition.Evaluation expenditures include the cost of:establishing the volume and grade of deposits through drilling of core samples,trenching and sampling activities for an ore body that is c
137、lassified as either a mineral resource or a proven and probable reserve;determining the optimal methods of extraction and metallurgical and treatment processes;studies related to surveying,transportation and infrastructure requirements;permitting activities;andeconomic evaluations to determine wheth
138、er development of the mineralized material is commercially viable,including scoping,pre-feasibility and final feasibility studies.Evaluation expenditures are capitalized if management determines that there is evidence to support the probability of generating positive economic returns in the future.A
139、 mineral resource is considered to have economic potential when it is expected that the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extraction of the mineral resource can be demonstrated considering long-term metal prices.Therefore,prior to capitalizing such costs,management determines that th
140、e following conditions have been met:There is a probable future benefit that will contribute to future cash inflows;The Company can obtain the benefit and control access to it;andThe transaction or event giving rise to the benefit has already occurred.The evaluation phase is complete once technical
141、feasibility of the extraction of the mineral deposit has been determined through preparation of a reserve and resource statement,including a mining plan as well as receipt of required permits and approval of the Board of Directors to proceed with development of the mine.On such date,capitalized eval
142、uation costs are assessed for impairment and reclassified to development costs.(iii)DevelopmentDevelopment expenditures are those that are incurred during the phase of preparing a mineral deposit for extraction and processing.These include pre-stripping costs and underground development costs to gai
143、n access to the ore that is suitable for sustaining commercial mining,preparing land,construction of plant,equipment and buildings and costs of commissioning the mine and processing facilities.Expenditures incurred on development projects continue to be capitalized until the mine and mill move into
144、the production stage.The Company assesses each mine construction project to determine when a mine moves into the production stage.The criteria used to assess the start date are determined based on the nature of each mine construction project,such as the complexity of a plant or its location.Before s
145、uch date,sales proceeds and their related production costs from the mine construction project are recognized in profit or loss.Various relevant criteria are considered to assess when the mine is substantially complete and ready for its intended use and moved into the production stage.The criteria co
146、nsidered include,but are not limited to,the following:the level of capital expenditures compared to construction cost estimates;the completion of a reasonable period of testing of mine plant and equipment;the ability to produce minerals in saleable form(within specification);and the ability to susta
147、in ongoing production of minerals.Eldorado Gold CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31,2023 and December 31,2022(Currency amounts in thousands,unless otherwise stated except share and per share amounts)(6)3.Material accounting policies(continued)3.6
148、Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Companys share of the net assets of the acquired business at the date of acquisition.When the excess is negative(negative goodwill),it is recognized immediately in income.Goodwill on acquisition of subsi
149、diaries and businesses is shown separately as goodwill in the consolidated financial statements.Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in significantly influenced companies and tested for impairment as part of the overall investment.Goodwill is carried at cost less accumula
150、ted impairment losses and tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired.Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units(“CGUs)for the purpose of impairment testing.The allocation
151、is made to those CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.If the composition of one or more CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated changes due to a reorganization,the goodwill is reallocated to the units affected.3.7 Impairment
152、of non-financial assets Non-financial assets which include property,plant and equipment are reviewed each reporting period for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.If such indicators exist,the Company determines the recoverab
153、le amount,and if applicable,recognizes an impairment loss.An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.The recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less cost of disposal(FVLCD)and value in use.For the purposes of a
154、ssessing impairment,assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows or CGUs.Value in use is determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset in its present form and its eventual dis
155、posal.Value in use is determined by applying assumptions specific to the Companys continued use of the asset and does not take into account assumptions of significant future enhancements of an assets performance or capacity to which the Company is not committed.FVLCD is the amount obtainable from th
156、e sale of an asset or CGU in an arms length transaction between knowledgeable,willing parties,less the costs of disposal.For mining assets,FVLCD is often estimated using a discounted cash flow approach because a fair value is not readily available from an active market or binding sale agreement.Esti
157、mated future cash flows are calculated using estimated future prices,mineral reserves and resources,operating and capital costs.All assumptions used are those that an independent market participant would consider appropriate.The estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using
158、 a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.Non-financial assets other than goodwill impaired in prior periods are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that an it
159、em of mineral property and equipment or CGU is no longer impaired.An impairment charge is reversed through the consolidated statements of operations only to the extent of the assets or CGUs carrying amount that would have been determined net of applicable depreciation,had no impairment loss been rec
160、ognized.Eldorado Gold CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31,2023 and December 31,2022(Currency amounts in thousands,unless otherwise stated except share and per share amounts)(7)3.Material accounting policies(continued)3.8 Financial assets(i)Classif
161、ication and measurement The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories:at fair value through profit or loss(“FVTPL”),at fair value through other comprehensive income(“FVTOCI”)or at amortized cost.The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were a
162、cquired.Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.The classification of investments in debt instruments is driven by the business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics.Investments in debt instruments are
163、measured at amortized cost if the business model is to hold the instrument for collection of contractual cash flows and those cash flows are solely principal and interest.If the business model is not to hold the debt instrument,it is classified as FVTPL.Financial assets with embedded derivatives are
164、 considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest.Equity instruments that are held for trading(including all equity derivative instruments)are classified as FVTPL.For other equity instruments,on the day of acquisition the Company ca
165、n make an irrevocable election(on an instrument-by-instrument basis)to designate them as FVTOCI.(a)Financial assets at FVTPL Financial assets carried as FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value with all transaction costs expensed in the consolidated statements of operations.Realized and unrealized
166、 gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial asset held at FVTPL are included in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they arise.Derivatives are also categorized as FVTPL unless they are designated as hedges.(b)Financial assets at FVTOCI Inves
167、tments in equity instruments as FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs.Subsequently they are measured at fair value,with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income(loss).There is no subsequent reclassification of fair va
168、lue gains and losses to net earnings(loss)following the derecognition of the investment.(c)Financial assets at amortized cost Financial assets at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any provisions for credit losses.(ii)Impairment of f
169、inancial assets The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost.At each reporting date,the loss allowance for the financial asset is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the
170、 financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.If at the reporting date,the credit risk on the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition,the loss allowance is measured for the financial asset at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losse
171、s.For trade receivables the Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses,which allows the use of a lifetime expected loss provision.Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decrease
172、s and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.(iii)Derecognition of financial assets Financial assets are derecognized when they mature or are sold,and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.Gains and losse
173、s on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTPL or amortized cost are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.Gains or losses on financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive income(loss).Eldorado Gold CorporationNotes to the Consolida

175、d initially at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into.Subsequent to initial recognition,derivatives are remeasured at their fair value.Derivatives embedded in financial liability contracts are recognized separately if they are not closely related to the host contract.Derivative
176、s,including embedded derivatives from financial liability contracts,are recorded on the statements of financial position at fair value and the unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.The method of recognizing any resulting gain or loss depends on wheth
177、er the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument and,if so,the nature of the item being hedged.Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of operations.3.10 Inventories Inventories
178、are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:(i)Product inventory consists of stockpiled ore,ore on leach pads,crushed ore,in-circuit material at properties with milling or processi
179、ng operations,gold concentrate,other metal concentrate,dor awaiting refinement and unsold bullion.Product inventory costs consist of direct production costs including mining,crushing and processing;site administration costs;and allocated indirect costs,including depreciation and amortization of mine
180、ral property,plant and equipment.Inventory costs are charged to production costs on the basis of quantity of metal sold.At operations where the ore extracted contains significant amounts of metals other than gold,primarily silver,lead and zinc,cost is allocated between the joint products.The Company
181、 regularly evaluates and refines estimates used in determining the costs charged to production costs and costs absorbed into inventory carrying values based upon actual gold recoveries and operating plans.Net realizable value is the estimated selling price,less the estimated costs of completion and
182、selling expenses.A write-down is recorded when the carrying value of inventory is higher than its net realizable value.(ii)Materials and supplies inventory consists of consumables used in operations,such as fuel,chemicals,reagents and spare parts,which are valued at the lower of average cost and net
183、 realizable value and,where appropriate,less a provision for obsolescence.Costs include acquisition,freight and other directly attributable costs.3.11 Trade receivables Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for the sale of bullion and metals in concentrate in the ordinary course of busine
184、ss.Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.Trade receivables are recorded net of lifetime expected credit losses.Settlement receivables arise from the sale of metals in concentrate where the amount receivabl
185、e is finalized on settlement date based on the underlying commodity price.Settlement receivables are classified as fair value through profit and loss and are recorded at each reporting period at fair value based on forward metal prices.Changes in fair value of settlements receivable are recorded in
186、revenue.Eldorado Gold CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31,2023 and December 31,2022(Currency amounts in thousands,unless otherwise stated except share and per share amounts)(9)3.Material accounting policies(continued)3.12 Debt and borrowings Borro
187、wings are recognized initially at fair value,net of transaction costs incurred.Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost,calculated using the effective interest method.Any difference between the proceeds(net of transaction costs)and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated
188、statements of operations over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities and other borrowings are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility and other borrowing
189、s will be drawn down.In this case,the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs at which time,these transaction costs are included in the carrying value of the amount drawn on the facility and amortized using the effective interest rate method.To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable
190、that some or all of the facility and borrowings will be drawn down,the fee is capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortized over the period the loan facility to which it relates is available to the Company.3.13 Current and deferred income tax Income tax expense comprises current a
191、nd deferred tax.Income tax expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations except to the extent that it relates to items recognized either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity,in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income or in equity,respectively.Cur
192、rent tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year,using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date,and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable
193、 to expected total annual earnings.The tax rate used is the rate that is substantively enacted.Deferred income tax is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements.Deferred income tax is
194、 not recorded if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss or on temporary differences relating to the investment in subsidiaries to the exte
195、nt that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates(and laws)that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statements of financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the defe
196、rred income tax liability is settled.A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it
197、 is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.Eldorado Gold CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31,2023 and December 31,2022(Currency amounts in thousands,unless otherwise stated except share and per share amounts)(10)3.Materia
198、l accounting policies(continued)3.14 Share-based payment arrangements Share-based payment arrangements related to stock option awards,deferred share units,equity settled restricted share units and performance share units are measured at fair value.Compensation expense for all stock options awarded t
199、o employees is measured based on the fair value of the options on the date of grant which is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.For equity settled restricted share units,compensation expense is measured based on the quoted market value of the shares.For equity settled performanc
200、e share units with market based vesting conditions,compensation expense is measured based on the fair value of the share units on the date of grant which is based on the expected future forward price of the Companys shares and an index consisting of global gold-based securities.Deferred share units
201、are liability awards settled in cash and measured at the quoted market price at the grant date and the corresponding liability is adjusted for changes in fair value at each subsequent reporting date until the awards are settled.The fair value of the options,restricted share units,performance share u
202、nits and deferred units are expensed over the vesting period of the awards with a corresponding increase in equity.No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest.3.15 Asset retirement obligations A provision is made for mine restoration and rehabilitation when an obligation is incur
203、red.The provision is recognized as a liability with the corresponding cost included in the asset to which the obligation relates.At each reporting date the asset retirement obligation is remeasured to reflect changes in discount rates,and the timing or amount of the costs to be incurred.The provisio
204、n recognized represents managements best estimate of the present value of the future costs required.Significant estimates and assumptions are made in determining the amount of asset retirement obligations.Those estimates and assumptions deal with uncertainties such as:requirements of the relevant le
205、gal and regulatory frameworks,the magnitude of necessary remediation activities and the timing,extent and costs of required restoration and rehabilitation activities.These uncertainties may result in future actual expenditure differing from the amounts currently provided.The provision recognized is
206、periodically reviewed and updated based on the facts and circumstances available at the time.Changes to the estimated future costs for operating sites are recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position by adjusting both the asset retirement obligation and related assets.Such changes
207、 result in changes in future depreciation and financial charges.Changes to the estimated future costs for sites that are closed,inactive,or where the related asset no longer exists,are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.3.16 Share capitalCommon shares are classified as equity.In
208、cremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity,net of any tax effects.Common shares held by the Company are classified as treasury stock and recorded as a reduction of shareholders equity.Eldorado Gold CorporationNotes

210、d sale of dor,bullion and metals in concentrate.The Companys performance obligations relate primarily to the delivery of these products to customers,with each shipment representing a separate performance obligation.Revenue from the sale of dor,bullion and metals in concentrates is measured based on
211、the consideration specified in the contract with the customer.The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of the product to the customer and has a present right to payment for the product.(i)Metals in concentrate Control over metals in concentrates is transferred to the customer and rev
212、enue is recognized when the product is considered to be physically delivered to the customer under the terms of the customer contract.This is typically when the concentrate has been placed on board a vessel for shipment or delivered to a location specified by the customer.Metals in concentrate are s
213、old under pricing arrangements where final prices are determined by market prices subsequent to the date of sale(the“quotational period”).Revenue from concentrate sales is recorded based on the estimated amounts to be received,based on the respective metals forward price at the expected settlement d
214、ate.Adjustments are made to settlements receivable in subsequent periods based on fluctuations in the forward prices until the date of final metal pricing.These subsequent changes in the fair value of the settlement receivable are recorded in revenue separate from revenue from contracts with custome
215、rs.Provisional invoices for metals in concentrate sales are typically issued shortly after or on the passage of control of the product to the customer and the Company receives 90%-95%of the provisional invoice at that time.Additional invoices are issued as final product weights and assays are determ
216、ined over the quotational period.Provisionally invoiced amounts are generally collected promptly.(ii)Metals in dor The Company sells dor directly to refiners,or,refiners may receive dor from the Company to refine the materials on the Companys behalf and arrange for sale of the refined metal.In the T
217、urkiye operating segment,refined metals are sold at spot prices on the Precious Metal Market of the Borsa Istanbul.Sales proceeds are collected within several days of the completion of the sale transaction.Control over the refined gold or silver produced from dor is transferred to the customer and r
218、evenue recognized upon delivery to the customers bullion account on the Precious Metal Market of the Borsa Istanbul.In the Canada segment,dor and refined metals are sold at spot prices with sales proceeds collected within several days of the sales transaction.Control is typically transferred to the
219、customer and revenue recognized upon delivery to a location specified by the customer.3.18 Finance income and expenses Finance income includes interest income on funds invested(including financial assets carried at FVTPL)and changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVTPL.Interest income is r
220、ecognized as it accrues in the consolidated statements of operations,using the effective interest method.Finance expenses include borrowing costs,unwinding of the discount on provisions,changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and impairment losses recognize
221、d on financial assets.All borrowing costs are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations using the effective interest method,except for those amounts capitalized as part of the cost of qualifying property,plant and equipment.Eldorado Gold CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial S

223、or its common shares.Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the earnings or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the earnings or loss attributable to common shareholde
224、rs and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares,which comprise share options,restricted share units and performance share units granted to employees.4.Judgements and estimation uncertainty The preparation of consolidated financi
225、al statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements,estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets,liabilities,income and expenses.Actual results may differ from these estimates.Estimates and underlying assumpt
226、ions are reviewed at each period end.Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.Significant areas requiring the use of management assumptions,estimates and judgements include the valuation of property,plant and
227、 equipment and goodwill,estimated recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources,inventory,asset retirement obligations and current and deferred taxes.Actual results could differ from these estimates.Outlined below are some of the areas which require management to make significant judgements,est
228、imates and assumptions.(i)Valuation of property,plant and equipment and goodwill Property,plant and equipment and goodwill are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable.Goodwill is tested at least annually.Calculating
229、 the recoverable amount,including estimated FVLCD of CGUs for property,plant and equipment and goodwill,requires management to make estimates and assumptions with respect to discount rates,future production levels including amount of recoverable reserves,resources and exploration potential,operating
230、 and capital costs,long-term metal prices,and estimates of the fair value of mineral properties beyond proven and probable reserves.Changes in any of the assumptions or estimates used in determining the recoverable amount could result in additional impairment or reversal of impairment recognized.Jud
231、gment is applied in assessing whether certain facts and circumstances are indicators of impairment,and accordingly,require an impairment test to be performed.The Company considers both external and internal sources of information in assessing whether there are any indications that its assets or CGUs
232、 may be impaired.The primary external factors considered are changes in estimated long-term metal prices,changes in laws and regulations and the Companys market capitalization relative to its net asset carrying amount.The primary internal factors considered are the performance of its CGUs against ex
233、pectations,changes in mineral reserves and resources,life of mine plans and exploration results.Eldorado Gold CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31,2023 and December 31,2022(Currency amounts in thousands,unless otherwise stated except share and per
234、share amounts)(13)4.Judgements and estimation uncertainty(continued)(i)Valuation of property,plant and equipment and goodwill(continued)Mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates are based on various assumptions relating to operating matters,including,with respect to production costs,mining and
235、processing recoveries,cut-off grades,as well as assumptions relating to long-term commodity prices and exchange rates and capital costs.Cost estimates are based primarily on feasibility study estimates or operating history.Estimates are prepared under supervision of appropriately qualified persons,b
236、ut will be impacted by forecasted commodity prices,exchange rates,capital and production costs and recoveries amongst other factors.Estimated recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources are used to determine the depreciation of property,plant and equipment at operating mine sites,in accountin
237、g for deferred stripping costs,in performing impairment testing and for forecasting the timing of the payment of decommissioning and restoration costs.Therefore,changes in the assumptions used could impact the carrying value of assets,depreciation and impairment charges recorded in the consolidated
238、statements of operations and the carrying value of the asset retirement obligation.(ii)Inventory Inventories are measured at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value.The determination of net realizable value involves the use of estimates.The net realizable value of inventories is
239、calculated as the estimated price at the time of eventual sale based on prevailing and forecast metal prices less estimated future costs to convert the inventories into saleable form and associated selling costs.The net realizable value of inventories is assessed at the end of each reporting period.
240、Changes in the estimates of net realizable value may result in a write-down of inventories or a reversal of a previous write-down.In determining the valuation of heap leach ore inventories,the Company makes estimates of recoverable ounces on the leach pads based on quantities of ore placed on the le
241、ach pads,the grade of ore placed on the leach pads and an estimated recovery rate.Actual timing and ultimate recovery of gold contained on the leach pads can differ significantly from these estimates.Changes in estimates of recoverable ounces on the leach pads can impact the Companys ability to reco
242、ver the carrying amount of the inventories and may result in a write-down of inventories.(iii)Asset retirement obligation The asset retirement obligation provision represents managements best estimate of the present value of future cash outflows required to settle the liability which reflect estimat
243、es of future costs,inflation,requirements of the relevant legal and regulatory frameworks and the timing of restoration and rehabilitation activities.Estimated future cash outflows are discounted using a risk-free rate based on U.S.Treasury bond rates.Changes to asset retirement obligation estimates
244、 are recorded with a corresponding change to the related item of property,plant and equipment,or to the statements of operations if there is no related property,plant and equipment.Adjustments to the carrying amounts of related items of property,plant and equipment can result in a change to future d
245、epreciation expense.(iv)Current and deferred taxes Judgements and estimates of recoverability are required in assessing whether deferred tax assets recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position are recoverable which is based on an assessment of the ability to use the underlying fut
246、ure tax deductions before they expire against future taxable income.Deferred tax liabilities arising from temporary differences on investments in subsidiaries,joint ventures and associates are recognized unless the reversal of the temporary differences is not expected to occur in the foreseeable fut
247、ure and can be controlled,which requires judgement.Assumptions about the generation of future taxable earnings and repatriation of retained earnings depend on managements estimates of future production and sales volumes,commodity prices,reserves,operating costs,decommissioning and restoration costs,
248、capital expenditures,dividends and other capital management transactions.Eldorado Gold CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31,2023 and December 31,2022(Currency amounts in thousands,unless otherwise stated except share and per share amounts)(14)4.Jud
249、gements and estimation uncertainty(continued)(iv)Current and deferred taxes (continued)The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions and judgement is required in the application of income tax legislation in these jurisdictions.These estimates and judgements are subject to risk and uncertainty a
250、nd could result in an adjustment to current and deferred tax provisions and a corresponding increase or decrease to earnings or loss for the period.5.Adoption of new accounting standards(a)Current adoption of new accounting standards The following amendments to existing standards have been adopted b
251、y the Company commencing January 1,2023:Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2:Disclosure of Accounting Policies In February 2021,the IASB published a narrow scope amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2.The amendments replace all instances of
252、 the term significant accounting policies with material accounting policy information,requiring companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies.The amendments define what is material accounting information(being information that,when conside
253、red together with other information included in an entitys financial statements,can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general-purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements)and explain how to identify when accounting policy informat
254、ion is material.The amendments apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1,2023,and applied prospectively.The Company adopted these amendments,which did not result in any changes to the Companys accounting policies themselves,however they impacted the accounting policy informa
255、tion disclosed in the Companys consolidated financial statements.The Companys material accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3.Amendments to IAS 12:Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a single transactionIn May 2021,the IASB published a narrow scope amendment to IAS 12 In
256、come Taxes.In September 2021,IAS 12 was revised to reflect this amendment.The amendment narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption so that it no longer applies to transactions that,on initial recognition,give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences such as deferred taxes on l
257、eases and decommissioning obligations.As a result,companies need to recognize a deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability for these temporary differences arising on initial recognition.The amendment applies for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1,2023,and applied retrospec
258、tively.The Company previously accounted for deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities on leases and asset retirement obligations resulting in the same outcome as under the amendments.Therefore,there was no material impact on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this amen
259、dment.Amendments to IAS 12:International Tax Reform-Pillar Two Model Rules In May 2023,the IASB issued International Tax Reform-Pillar Two Model Rules which amends the scope of IAS 12 to clarify that the standard applies to income taxes arising from tax law enacted or substantively enacted to implem
260、ent the Pillar Two model rules published by The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD),including tax law that implements qualified domestic minimum top up taxes described in those rules.The Company has adopted the amendment to IAS 12 in the current year.There was no material imp
261、act on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this amendment.Refer to Note 19 for further information.Eldorado Gold CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31,2023 and December 31,2022(Currency amounts in thousands,unless otherwise st

263、andards or interpretations in the annual period for which they are effective.Classification of liabilities as current or non-currentIn January 2020,the IASB published narrow scope amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements.The narrow scope amendment clarifies that liabilities are class
264、ified as either current or non-current,depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period.Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date.The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,2024,and appl
265、ied retrospectively.The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the amendments on its consolidated financial statements.Non-current liabilities with covenantsIn October 2022,the IASB published a narrow scope amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements.After reconsidering certain as
266、pects of the 2020 amendments,noted above in Classification of liabilities as current or non-current,the IASB reconfirmed that only covenants with which a company must comply on or before the reporting date affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current.Covenants with which the Co
267、mpany must comply after the reporting date do not affect a liabilitys classification at that date.The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,2024,and applied retrospectively.The Company has considered the amendment and concluded that there is no material impact on
268、the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this amendment.Eldorado Gold CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31,2023 and December 31,2022(Currency amounts in thousands,unless otherwise stated except share and per share amounts)(16)6.Di

296、ates to the Lamaque Complex(Lamaque)CGU.Goodwill is tested for impairment annually on December 31 and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the CGU.The recoverable amount of the Lamaque
297、CGU is based on the net present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGU.The recoverable amount used by the Company represents the CGUs FVLCD,a Level 3 fair value measurement,as it was determined to be higher than value in use.The significant assumptions used for determining th
