Samples from our Efemcukuru project are prepared at Eldorado's facility in Turkey and assayed at the ALS facility in Vancouver, Canada. Analysis for gold is done on sawn half core samples using fire assay (AA finish). Higher grade samples (greater than 5 g/t) were re-assayed using fire assay with gravimetric finish. Standard reference materials, blank and field duplicate samples are inserted prior to shipment from site to monitor the quality control of the assay data. Eldorado is a gold producing, exploration and development company actively growing businesses in Brazil China, Greece, and Turkey and surrounding regions. We are one of the lowest cost pure gold producers . With our international expertise in mining, finance and project development, together with highly skilled and dedicated staff, we believe that Eldorado is well positioned to grow in value as we create and pursue new opportunities.
