Eldorado And Frontier Reach Agreement On Acquisition - Eldorado’S Offer Varied And Extended To July 2, 2008

VANCOUVER, BC -- Paul N. Wright, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado” or “we”) announced today that Eldorado has signed a definitive support agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with Frontier Pacific Mining Corporation (“Frontier”) pursuant to which Frontier’s Board of Directors has agreed to unanimously support Eldorado’s revised offer to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Frontier (the “Offer”).

In addition to the original Offer consideration of 0.1220 Eldorado common shares and Cdn.$0.0001 in cash, Frontier shareholders will also receive one exchange receipt (an “Exchange Receipt”) for each common share of Frontier. Each Exchange Receipt will entitle its holder to receive, without payment of additional consideration, 0.008 common shares of Eldorado, conditional upon a joint ministerial resolution being issued prior to July 1, 2009 by the Greek Joint Ministerial Council, comprised of the Greek Ministries of Environment, Agriculture, Culture, Development and Health, accepting the environmental terms of reference drafted by the Ministry of the Environment for Frontier’s Perama Hill gold project. If the joint ministerial resolution accepting the environmental terms of reference is not received prior to July 1, 2009, the Exchange Receipts will be cancelled. The Exchange Receipts will be governed by the terms of an indenture to be entered into between Eldorado and an Exchange Receipt trustee. The issuance of the Eldorado common shares underlying the Exchange Receipts will occur automatically upon satisfaction of the conditions governing the terms of the Exchange Receipts. Eldorado will use its best efforts to cause the Exchange Receipts to be listed on the TSX.

Eldorado’s president and chief executive officer, Paul N. Wright, noted “The variance in our Offer for Frontier achieves a consensual transaction which we believe is in the interests of our shareholders. While we have not altered our view as to the permitting timeline achievable in respect of the Perama Hill project, we believe that the modest additional dilution to our shareholders would be well worth it in the event that we are successful in achieving earlier permitting than is expected.”

The directors and officers of Frontier have entered into lock-up agreements with Eldorado pursuant to which they have agreed to tender their Frontier common shares to the revised Offer. A total of 71,782,616 common shares of Frontier, or 41.17 % of its outstanding common shares on a fully diluted basis, are now subject to lock-up agreements with Eldorado, including the April 20, 2008 lock-up agreement with Dundee Precious Metals Inc.

Based on careful review of the revised terms of the Eldorado Offer among other factors, the Board of Directors of Frontier has determined that the revised Eldorado Offer is fair to Frontier’s shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders accept the revised Offer. Frontier’s financial advisors, Thomas Weisel Partners Canada Inc., has provided an opinion to the Frontier Board of Directors that, subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated in the opinion, the consideration to be received under the revised Offer is fair, from a financial point of view, to Frontier shareholders.

In compliance with applicable securities laws, Eldorado has extended the revised Offer until 5:00 pm (Toronto time) on July 2, 2008. A Notice of Extension is expected to be mailed to Frontier shareholders by Friday June 20, 2008.

The Support Agreement

The Support Agreement provides for, among other things, non-solicitation and ordinary-course operation covenants, customary “fiduciary out” provisions that entitle Frontier to consider and accept a superior proposal, a right in favour of Eldorado to match a superior proposal and the payment to Eldorado of a termination payment of C$7.2 million in certain circumstances.
