40、t practices.We are breaking new ground,and we are unafraid to explore new avenues if it means we can find a better path forward.2023 YEAR IN REVIEWWe made significant progress on our goals this year,reaching key milestones on initiatives that will continue to drive Eldorado forward,creating value to
41、day and for future generations.This progress would not be possible without the hard work,collaboration and innovation of our employees around the world.It has been inspirational to see our team members dedication to finding a better way to operate our business,and I truly appreciate everyones effort
42、s we all share in these successes.Our mines in Qubec and Greece achieved record gold production in 2023,and across all four operating mines,we produced 485,139 ounces of gold,achieving our guidance.This year,we also restarted full construction on the copper-gold Skouries project.Skouries provides us
43、 with a unique opportunity to incorporate leading sustainability technologies and practices,such as a comprehensive Environmental Monitoring System and dry-stack tailings.In November,our team received the Outstanding Achievement Award for Project Financing at the Resourcing Tomorrow Awards.This awar
44、d recognizes our work on the Skouries project in Greece,which created a unique financing package with contributions by two Greek banks(National Bank of Greece and Piraeus Bank),a Recovery and Resilience Facility(RRF)loan,provided by the EU via the Greek State,and a strategic investment by the Europe
45、an Bank for Reconstruction and Development(EBRD).OUR SUSTAINABILITY FRAMEWORK IN ACTIONHealth,safety and sustainability are key to our company strategy and Eldorados current and future success.All of our efforts are guided by our Sustainability Framework and our Sustainability Integrated Management
46、System(SIMS),which provides performance-based standards for all Eldorado sites.In May 2023,we held our second SIMS compliance verification at Olympias in Greece.In collaboration with our Hellas Gold team on the ground,our global team of subject matter experts conducted interviews,document reviews an
47、d extensive tours and inspections of the mine site.In June,Olympias received minimum Level A or Yes across nearly all MAC-TSM performance indicators,including Level AAA for Biodiversity Conservation Management and Tailings Management.We completed assurance against the WGC Conflict-Free Gold Standard
48、(CFGS)for our 2022 operations and full conformance to RGMP Year 3 requirements.We also launched our first-ever Supplier Code of Conduct,an essential addition to our policies and an important step in our responsible supply chain journey.The Supplier Code of Conduct helps to fulfill arequirement of th
49、e RGMPs,TSM and SIMS.Last year,we were also proud to be included in the Globe and Mails 2023 Board Games,where in recognition of our governance and disclosure practices,we ranked first in our sector(Materials)and27th overall.STRENGTHENING OUR FOUNDATIONS IN HEALTHAND SAFETYPeople are at the core of
50、our business,and their health and safety is the top priority in everything we do.Our safety-first culture reflects a commitment to our people,their families and the communities in which we operate.In 2023,we evolved our process for investigating and sharing outcomes and learnings for Potentially Fat
51、al Occurrences(PFO),the most significant health and safety events in mining.We have since seen progress,with a 20%reduction in our PFO frequency rate and a 63%reduction in our lost-time injury frequency rate at our operations.At Klada,were pleased to report a fourth consecutive year with no lost-tim
52、e injuries.In recognition of our safety best practices,our teams received several safety awards in 2023.For innovation and efforts to mitigate risks in the industry,we received the Euromines Silver Safety Award in Trkiye.Meanwhile in Greece,Hellas Gold received two awards for the development and imp
53、lementation of new safety systems.Although external recognition is gratifying,hearing from our team members around the world is one of our best measures of progress.In 2023,we held our first health and safety perceptions survey and received feedback from nearly 70%of our global workforce.Alongside t
54、echnological advancements,subject matter expertise and industry best practices,this feedback will help guide our approach to health and safety in the future.While were proud of our progress,we cannot rest on our laurels as we know theres still more to do to ensure the health and safety of our people
55、.Eldorado GoldOperationsProductionCommunitiesEnvironmentIndexEldorado Gold 2023 Sustainability Report7Message From the President and CEOLEVERAGING NEW TECHNOLOGIESThe mining sector is home to many exciting innovations,from automated mucking systems to technologies that support grid decarbonization.W
56、ere strong believers in the power of technology and innovation to improve health,safety and sustainability,contributing to not just a better business,but a betterworld.In 2023,we introduced our first electric ore haul truck at our underground Lamaque Complex in Qubec a first in the Canadian province
57、.Lamaque is already our lowest GHG-emitting operational mine,benefiting from Qubecs abundance of hydroelectricity and the implementation of on-site energy efficiency projects.An additional electric haul truck was delivered in the first quarter of 2024,and once fully operational,the trucks are expect
58、ed to mitigate 1,700tCO2e of GHG emissions per year.The electric haul trucks also bring more tangible benefits for our employees on site and for our business by reducing underground diesel emissions and lowering operating costs with improvements in production efficiency.INVESTING IN COMMUNITIES WHER
59、E WE WORKWe work hard to support the development goals of our host communities and governments.Last year,our community investment team implemented guidance toallow us to prioritize projects that promote long-term community development and build trust with local stakeholders.All of our sites have rob
60、ust community investment programs and have made significant progress on projects in 2023.In Qubec,our Lamaque team continued long-standing and large-scale partnerships with community organizations to support education,health and wellness,arts and culture,and economic development.At our Kassandra Min
61、es(Olympias,Skouries and Stratoni)in Greece,and in collaboration with local communities,Hellas Gold established an investment framework to allocate$80 million over 25years related to our Kassandra Mines investments.Community investments in Greece targeted advancements in infrastructure,education and
62、 youth,and the economic and professional empowerment ofwomen.Improving support,training and access to resources for women entrepreneurs was also a focus for our Trkiye sites in 2023.At Efemukuru,the“Productive Women,Strong Futures”program supports the social and economic empowerment of local women.L
63、aunched in 2022 and expanded in 2023,the program provides women entrepreneurs living in the region with certified beekeeping training and entrepreneurial coaching.In addition to the social and economic benefits of the program,“Productive Women,Strong Futures”has a positive environmental impact beeke
64、eping contributes to biodiversity and is considered a sustainable and environmentally friendly practice.At Klada,our community team is supporting local economic diversification through its“Women Entrepreneur Vision”program,led in partnership with Women-Friendly Brands.The program provides women entr
65、epreneurs with mentorship,support in seeking grants and financial incentives and cooperatives,and training for essential skills including financial literacy,e-commerce and digital marketing.RESPONDING TO EMERGENCIESOn two occasions this year,our teams around the world were called to respond to local
66、 emergencies that have had severe and enduring impacts.I want to thank our teams in Trkiye for their immediate and unwavering response to the earthquakes that devastated the country on February 6,2023.Our teams are trained in search and rescue,and to see their bravery and readiness to take action to
67、 save lives was incredibly moving.The entire Eldorado team applauds your efforts.And in Qubec,facing the worst wildfire season on record,our Lamaque team helped support the local community in whatever ways they could,including providing food and support for evacuees from impacted communities.AN EYE
68、ON THE FUTURELooking ahead,were excited to build on our hard workand achievements from the last year.We will continue to advance construction of the copper-gold Skouries project in Greece,which is expected to reach first production in the third quarter of 2025,and commercial production at the end of
69、 2025.Skouries is expected to produce an average of 140,000 ounces of gold and 67 million pounds of copper per year,making Eldorado one of the European Unions larger copper producers and a key supplier of the critical mineral set to drive the green economy.In Qubec,we look forward to putting a secon
70、d electric ore haul truck into service.The use of electric trucks on site will bring significant GHG emissions reductions,as well as health and safety benefits.They serve as a reminder that,where feasible,electrification is a powerful tool as we work toward decarbonization.After positive results in
71、our SIMS Compliance Verifications at Lamaque and Olympias in the previous two years,which included external verification of TSM results and assurance of full conformance against the RGMPs,our sites in Trkiye plan to undergo the same process in 2024.Our entire Eldorado team is committed to finding a
72、better way to do things.We break ground in all that we do and are committed to leveraging the latest technology and innovations to set industry standards and best practices.Im pleased to share the work our global teams have advanced this year and look forward to continuing this progress in 2024 and

129、ustainability Integrated Management System(SIMS)provides minimum performance-based standards for all Eldorado sites in the areas of occupational health and safety,environmental performance,social performance,security,and general management of sustainability topics.SIMS was developed in alignment wit
130、h internationally recognized standards,including the World Gold Councils(WGC)Responsible Gold Mining Principles(RGMPs),the Mining Association of Canadas(MAC)Towards Sustainable Mining(TSM),the International Cyanide Management Code(ICMC),and the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights(VPSHR
131、).It was also developed through a collaborative effort with direct participation from executive leadership,senior management,mine and country General Managers,corporate teams and a dedicated group of sustainability professionals from across Eldorados operating regions.SIMS is founded and fostered on
132、 Eldorados values and is a critical tool for driving sustainability performance across our business.Following development of SIMS in 2020,we rolled out the standards across our operations and completed an initial round of SIMS self-assessments in 2021.These assessments have provided an initial basel
133、ine of conformance with the standards and were used to identify priority areas for continuous improvement.Every operation has since completed annual self-assessments.In 2022,we implemented our integrated assurance program and conducted our first SIMS Compliance Verification at Lamaque using internal
134、 and external auditors.Our second SIMS Compliance was conducted in 2023 at the Kassandra Mines,which included external assurance of Eldorados full conformance with the WGC RGMP Year 3 requirements and external verification of MAC-TSM results at the Olympias mine.Eldorados integrated verification pro

185、Integrated Management SystemEldorado GoldOperationsProductionCommunitiesEnvironmentIndexEldorado Gold 2023 Sustainability Report21Our Sustainability Materiality ApproachEldorados annual Sustainability Report provides an opportunity for the Company to comprehensively address the sustainability-relate
186、d issues and topics that are most material to our business and have the greatest impacts on society,the environment and economies.In addition to our continuous monitoring of material issues,a formal assessment allows us to map the topics most important to our stakeholders and identify issues across
187、our operating regions.This broad view provides valuable insights into our business and is the foundation of this Report.DEFINING MATERIALITY In accordance with guidance provided by the GRI Standards,this Report continues to define a“material topic”as a matter that reflects the Companys significant e
188、conomic,environmental and social impacts,or a matter that could substantively influence the assessments and decisions of our stakeholders.The GRI Standards externally focused definition of materiality forms Eldorados understanding of material topics for this Report.1 In addition to the GRI Standards
189、 materiality assessment methodology,we continued to measure each topics“importance to the business”as a third dimension in our own sustainability materiality,to provide a transparent view of internal priorities to our stakeholders.This existing approach is also aligned with the material issues ident
190、ified by SASB for the metals and mining industry.We are currently seeking to update our methodology for materiality assessment to align with new internationally accepted and legislated standards,including the European Unions Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive(CSRD)which applies the“double
191、materiality”concept.This work is planned to commence in 2024 and we will seek to produce future sustainability disclosures in accordance with these standards and other relevant disclosure obligations.DETERMINING MATERIALITY Using Eldorados existing approach,materiality assessments are to be conducte
192、d on a three-year rolling basis to identify the topics that will be featured in our Sustainability Report.Every third year,engagements are to be held with a broad group of internal and external stakeholders,and in interim years,we update materiality assessments internally and rely on publicly availa
193、ble external information.Each of the identified material topics is assessed in relation to the UN SDG Sustainable Development Index to determine Eldorados impacts across our operating regions.Senior management then reviews the material topics with consideration to our impacts and influence.This mate
194、riality assessment process creates additional value for Eldorado by:Providing a structure and mandate for managing the most important ESG topics for our business and our stakeholders Adding data-driven support for the purpose and direction of our internal and external engagement initiatives Being a
195、tool to map material topics to enterprise risks,ensuring they are consideredIn 2023,Eldorado opted to conduct another internal-only update to its materiality assessment and defer a full update according to the three-year methodology described above.We did so after determining that it would be more a

200、sessment.Taking results from the previous years materiality assessment as a starting point,we review peer,industry and media reports and internal documents to identify a list of material topics for inclusion in the assessment.2.Designing the Materiality AssessmentWe identify internal and external st
201、akeholders,design survey questions and refer to external sources such as the SDGs to inform the design and content of our assessment.A well-designed assessment process allows us to accurately understand our impacts and influence.3.Conducting Business Impact Assessments We engage with senior executiv
202、es and management across corporate,regional and site offices,including professionals responsible for overseeing social,environmental and economic performance at each site.Respondents are asked to rank material topics based on their impacts on society,the environment and the economy as well as Eldora
203、dos business as a sustainable mining company.4.Determining External Impacts We measure the salience of our impacts in the countries where we operate using the SDG Sustainable Development Index.The SDG Index assesses countries based on their progress toward each of the 17 SDGs and assigns a score for
204、 each countrys performance on each SDG.This tool helps us to understand where we have the greatest impacts across all of our operations by identifying the SDGs to which we can most significantly contribute.5.Compiling Results and Creating a Matrix We map issues onto a materiality matrix to communica
205、te their relative importance,identify those that have significantly changed since the previous assessment,and identify those that may require further management attention and action.6.Validating and Reporting Results We review the results of our materiality assessment internally and establish how to
206、 present the material topics to be included in the Report.Topics that fall within our reporting threshold of moderate to high materiality form the areas of focus for this Report.For each topic that surpasses the threshold,we describe our management approach and provide performance data and analysis.
207、Although topics that surpass the materiality threshold comprise the majority of the content of this Report,we discuss our management approach and at times provide data for other topics as they may be particularly salient tocertain groups of stakeholders or within certain operatingregions.Eldorado Go

248、Report27GOVERNANCE POLICIES Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct,Anti-Bribery and Corruption(ABC)Policy,Human Rights Policy,Insider Trading Policy and Disclosure Policy reinforce our standards and values and outline our expectation that employees and suppliers operate in accordance with the highe
249、st standards of legal and ethical behaviour.In 2022,we updated our Health and Safety Policy,Environmental Policy and Human Rights Policy and introduced a new Social Performance Policy and a new Respectful Workplace Policy,which outline our commitments to protecting the environment and the safety of
250、our people and neighbours.In 2023,we completed a regular review of the Code,ABC Policy,Insider Trading Policy and Disclosure Policy.Updates were made to the Code,Insider Trading Policy and Disclosure Policy to align with best practices and internal management practices.We also adopted a Supplier Cod
251、e of Conduct that outlines Eldorados expectations for suppliers to align with our standards on topics including business ethics,health,safety,labour relations,human rights,environment and social performance.A worker handbook was developed and distributed to all employees as a resource to support our
252、 collective understanding of all of Eldorados Global Policies and how they are applied.SUSTAINABILITY FACTORS IN COMPENSATION Our people are responsible for our success.Actively working on our organizational culture is therefore critical to executing on our goals.Guiding culture requires ongoing per
253、formance conversations to stay focused on results.Health,safety and environmental performance indicators and social performance measures are embedded in the evaluation of corporate and personal performance and are directly tied to awards paid under the Short-Term Incentive Plan.ESG objectives made u
254、p 30%of the 2023 corporate scorecard resulting in a direct impact on short-term incentive compensation.In addition,sustainability goals are measured within personal performance scorecards for senior management.Combined,ESG metrics account for up to 30%of senior management short-term compensation.In
255、2023,we set new targets to continue promoting multi-year and strategic sustainability programs including implementation of SIMS,achieving full conformance to the RGMPs,and implementation of Eldorados Climate Change Strategy.For further information on sustainability factors in compensation,please see
256、 Eldorados annual Management Proxy Circular.ELIMINATING BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION As a Company that generates significant local employment and government revenue,Eldorado has the ability to influence anti-bribery and anti-corruption behaviour and positively contribute to respect for the rule of law whe
257、re we operate.Eldorado and its subsidiaries are required to comply with all applicable anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and regulations.Our Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy has been in place since 2015,was updated in 2022 and underwent an annual review in 2023.The policy formalizes our commit
258、ments and expectations of our employees and contractors that Eldorado complies with applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws.It also encourages staff to be alert to potential violations of applicable laws by Eldorados personnel or independent representatives,distributors,consultants or agent
259、s.In 2023,we also implemented formal Gifts and Entertainment Procedures at our corporate offices in Vancouver and Amsterdam.Directors,officers and Country General Managers who are responsible for overseeing employees in foreign jurisdictions where we operate must sign a compliance certificate,statin
260、g that such individuals understand the Companys Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and all other applicable Company policies and will follow them.Copies of these policies are posted at each of our sites in communal work areas and on noticeboards.The policies are overseen by Eldorados Corporate Secr
261、etary and Ethics and Compliance team.Issues of concern can be reported to the Board via the Chair of the Audit Committee or by using the whistleblower reporting agency at .Eldorado actively works to ensure that our workforce is aware of our commitments and their responsibilities regarding anti-bribe
262、ry and anti-corruption.Our most recent Integrity Survey in 2022 found that 90%of participants agreed that Eldorado has clear standards for ethical behaviour and believe we foster a culture of integrity.In 2023,we launched refresher training on our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct to ensure we all
263、 understand the role we play in maintaining this culture,which included topics such as acting with honesty and integrity,recognizing and declaring conflicts of interest in accordance with our Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy,and enabling a safe,healthy and respectful work environment.In 2023,no le
264、gal actions were taken against Eldorado related to bribery,corruption,anti-competitive behaviour,anti-trust or monopoly practices.TRANSPARENCY OF PAYMENTS TO GOVERNMENTS Eldorado supports the elimination of bribery and corruption by disclosing our payments to governments in accordance with applicabl
265、e legislative requirements.Payments to governments vary over time as a result of changes to our business,changes to regulations and tax regimes,and broader market conditions.Transparent and fairly collected tax revenues and other royalties allow governments to build stable political institutions and
266、 invest in sustainable development.Revenue transparency is also an important part of maintaining honest relationships with our investors and other stakeholders,and we believe that disclosure of payments made to governments is an important part of a broad industry mandate to fight corruption.Canada a
267、nd the European Union(EU)have passed laws that require mandatory public reporting of payments to governments by the extractive sector Canadas Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act(ESTMA),which came into force on June 1,2015;and the EUs Transparency and Accounting Directives(EU Directives),intr
268、oduced in 2013.Eldorado files an annual report under ESTMA,which covers payments over$10,000 made to all levels of foreign and domestic governments.This report summarizes Eldorados payments of taxes,royalties,fees,bonuses,production entitlements,dividends and other categories of payments prescribed

285、y targets are defined annually and included in executive compensation.Our Klada and Efemukuru mines in Trkiye and the Kassandra Mines in Greece are independently certified to ISO 45001.MACs Safety and Health Protocol will be implemented across our operations as part of Eldorados broader adoption of
286、the Towards Sustainable Mining program within SIMS.Our Health and Safety Policy includes elements of a strong safety culture including management team and workforce engagement,use of leading indicators,and celebrating successes,collaboration and innovations.Each site also completed a SIMS self-asses
287、sment to evaluate current alignment with SIMS and develop corrective action plans to drive continuous improvement.SIMS Compliance Verifications have been conducted at Lamaque and the Kassandra Mines in 2022 and 2023,respectively,to verify compliance against Eldorados minimum performance standards fo
288、r health and safety,as well as the MAC-TSM Safety and Health Protocol,the results of which were externally verified and are available here.In practice,this work also includes tracking leading indicators such as corrective actions following preventative inspections to emphasize and build a culture of
289、 proactive health and safety management.Eldorado achieved a corrective action efficiency rate of 85%by the end of 2023,a decrease from 97%in 2022,yet still exceeding our internal target of 70%.Eldorado continues to focus on strengthening its health and safety culture.In 2023,our LTIFR for operations
290、(Klada,Lamaque,Efemukuru,Olympias and Stratoni)was 0.50 a 63%year-over-year reduction.Zero lost-time injuries were recorded at Klada for the fourth consecutive year;however,Efemukuru and Lamaque recorded their first LTIs in five and four years,respectively.While we achieved our 2023 LTIFR target for
291、 operations,we missed our 2023 TRIFR target for operations and both our 2023 LTIFR and 2023 TRIFR targets for Skouries.While the most common Golden Rule infractions recorded across operations during the year were associated with the“Tools&Equipment”category,Olympias recorded a significant decrease i
292、n lost-time incidents associated with this Golden Rule.Eldorado has not recorded a fatality since 2017.Our global site teams continued to deliver corrective actions through leadership safety engagements and targeted toolbox talks around appropriate use of tools and equipment and hand safety.We recog
293、nize that we will always have room to improve our health and safety performance and that building a culture of safety takes time.We are proud of our teams for their continued dedication to operating safely and we will continue to focus on engaging across our workforce and implementing proactive meas
294、ures as we strive toward eliminating fatalities,serious injuries and occupational diseases.Looking forward,we will seek to increase our focus on leading indicators,incident investigation and the concept of high potential for safety incidents,to foster a deeper understanding of incident root causes t

298、about it openly and candidly.Our operations in Qubec launched a health and safety awareness campaign during the year with the theme,“Your health and safety,everyone thinks about it.And you,do you think about it?”The objectives of the campaign were to unearth the intrinsic value of committing to work
299、ing safely and reinforce our shared sense of responsibility to keeping one another safe,starting with ourselves.Simply put,we wanted to remind our people that their well-being is important not only to us and their colleagues,but especially their families and friends,and that by working safely,they a
300、re able to enjoy good health beyond the workplace.As Sylvain Lehoux,Vice President and Country Manager,Canada,said,“Why should you commit to working safely?To come home and enjoy life with your loved ones.”In Trkiye,our teams focused on leadership safety engagements,where on-site leaders created opp
301、ortunities to reinforce expectations through simple one-on-one or small group engagements.These regular communications included sharing current observations to start a conversation about safety,having open discussions for feedback on safer ways to work,and gaining both coaching opportunities for and
302、 personal commitments from workers.The teams also implemented SLAM Cards to all employees and contractors as part of worker PPE,which are meant to serve as a reminder to continuously assess the work environment for safety.SLAM stands for:STOP and engage your mind before your hands by looking at each
303、 task and following a checklist that will ensure a safe working environment.LOOK at the workplace and see if there are any possible hazards that have not been identified and report these immediately to a supervisor.ASSESS and ask if you have the correct knowledge,skills,training and tools to perform
304、 the task safely for yourself and the people you work with.MANAGE yourself in any working situation,apply the correct controls and wear the correct PPE.If anything feels unsafe,remember to stop working immediately and tell a supervisor the necessary actions to make the situation safe for the whole t
305、eam.As a testament to their dedication to a culture of safety,the Tprag team proudly earned the 2023 Euromines Silver Safety Award,which recognizes innovation and best practices for mitigating safety risks.SUSTAINABILITY CASE STUDYOccupational Health and SafetySTRENGTHENING OUR SAFETY CULTURE We con
306、tinuously look to strengthen our safety culture by taking a holistic view toward safety leadership.A culture of safety means that each individual values their safety and the safety of those around them;having this culture allows for our policies,procedures and systems to be implemented effectively a
307、nd leads to safety-conscious behaviour.We continue to foster engagements between site management teams and front-line workers targeted toward priority safety topics,such as proper use of tools and equipment.Our Health and Safety Policy reflects our commitments to foster a strong safety culture,throu
308、gh promoting greater awareness and ownership of safety objectives and performance across all levels of the organization.In demonstration of this sense of shared responsibility,phase one of our Global Inclusion Survey previously conducted across operations in Canada and Trkiye indicated that 91%of ou
309、r employees feel comfortable voicing concerns or making suggestions about workplace health and safety.In 2023,we conducted a Health and Safety Perception Survey,from which we learned that our employees want to see more visible leadership commitment to health and safety and demonstrated consideration
310、 of feedback on health and safety from all workers.We will be taking steps to apply these lessons in 2024 and beyond.TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND SAFETY As part of our continuous improvement efforts,we study the use of new technologies that can help our workers accomplish tasks mo
311、re safely and reduce the risk of harm to people and the environment.In our underground mines at Efemukuru,Olympias and Lamaque,innovations in underground communications technology have allowed us to implement tagging and tracking technology for our equipment and our workers.Employees are provided wi
312、th transmitters to ensure everyone can be accounted for,even when working in areas of restricted visibility.This technology reduces the risk of collisions and helps our workers avoid mobile machinery.|Lamaque,Qubec Eldorado GoldOperationsProductionCommunitiesEnvironmentIndexEldorado Gold 2023 Sustai
313、nability Report32SAFETY TECHNOLOGY Under the Safety and Sustainability pillar of our corporate strategy,we seek to use the best available innovative technology throughout operations to keep our people safe and mine responsibly.One example is the electronic safety beacon system we have in place at ou
314、r operational underground mines.Workers carry the wireless beacons on their person and readers installed throughout the mine enable control room technicians to quickly identify workers locations and make sure everyone is accounted for.The beacons also enable our miners to trigger alerts if they are
315、faced with a hazardous situation.Over the coming years,we will be working to integrate these beacons with other technologies,including ventilation on demand,remote blasting and tele-remote mucking,helping to create safer,healthier and more efficient operations.In 2023,after years of in-house develop
316、ment,our Hellas Gold Health and Safety Team in Greece launched the Canary Database,which proactively monitors physiochemical factors throughout its mine sites.The powerful database centralizes multiple on-site risk-factor monitoring systems that enable earlier risk identification and faster decision
317、-making on preventative actions.Features include continuous monitoring of underground air quality parameters and automated statistical analyses that aid our health and safety teams to efficiently identify and proactively manage potential risks,while maintaining a safe work environment.The Hellas Gol
318、d team received double recognition at the Health&Safety Awards 2023 in Greece for its Canary Database project,as well as its Underground Mine Safety System,which utilizes the countrys first underground private mobile network to relay real-time information and can be leveraged during emergencies to s

321、023 Sustainability Report33TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE TAILINGS SAFETY Eldorados tailings management facilities at Efemukuru in Trkiye and Kokkinolakkas(used by Olympias)in Greece make use of dry-stack tailings.This technology removes excess water from tailings materials,and allows for a more stable,dried
322、 material to be stored.Dry-stack tailings are also permitted and planned for use at the Skouries development project.Safely managing tailings by using leading technologies as well as strong management and governance practices is a key component of managing and mitigating risks related to mine waste.
323、More information about dry-stack tailings can be found in the Tailings and Waste section of this report.HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAININGNew recruits and interns at our facilities undergo training on safety,incident prevention,environmental stewardship and Company procedures,among other topics.We regularly
324、 conduct safety training to address new and ongoing risks across our sites.While each site is responsible for conducting safety training,Eldorados Golden Rules Health&Safety Handbook provides a standardized approach to managing health and safety aspects across the Company.Ongoing training priorities
325、 are defined based on job requirements,performance evaluation notes and legal requirements.Even at sites with a long mining history and a well-established mining workforce,such as Klada and Efemukuru,we see the benefits of refresher training to improve employee capacity,productivity and health and s
326、afety performance as a necessary part of our approach.TABLE 3:TOTAL HOURS OF EMPLOYEE AND CONTRACTOR SAFETY TRAINING BY REGIONCanadaGreeceRomaniaTrkiye2023 Total2022 Total2021 TotalEmployee training hours7798,2571,56841,77552,37847,98135,062Contractor training hoursNot tracked6,6014224,31930,96222,1
