NOTICE OF CHANGE IN INFORMATION

 

June 5, 2008

 

TO:                        THE HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES OF FRONTIER PACIFIC MINING CORPORATION

 

This Notice of Change in Information supplements the Original Offer and Circular dated May 9, 2008, pursuant to which Eldorado is offering to purchase, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein, all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of Frontier, including Common Shares that may become issued and outstanding prior to the Expiry Time on the exercise of outstanding options or other rights to acquire Common Shares but excluding Common Shares owned by Eldorado or its affiliates, on the basis of 0.1220 Eldorado Common Shares and Cdn. $0.00001 in cash for each Common Share of Frontier.

 

Unless the subject matter or the context is inconsistent therewith, terms used in this Notice of Change in Information and not defined herein that are defined in the Original Offer and Circular have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Offer and Circular.

 

The terms and conditions previously set forth in the Original Offer and Circular, the Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery continue to be applicable in all respects, as supplemented by this Notice of Change in Information.  This Notice of Change in Information should be read in conjunction with the Original Offer and Circular, the Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.

 

All references to the “Offer and Circular” in the Offer and Circular, the Letter of Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and this Notice of Change in Information mean the Original Offer and Circular, as supplemented hereby.

 

1.                                    Recent Developments

 

Since the date of Eldorado’s Offer and Circular there has come to light important information relating to Frontier and the Perama Hill project, and Eldorado has commenced construction of the Efemçukuru mine in Turkey.  These developments are summarized below.

 

Litigation in Greece

 

In the course of Eldorado’s continuing due diligence review of Frontier, it has discovered that there are currently two active petitions for annulment (the “Petitions”) concerning the Perama Hill project.  Eldorado understands that the Petitions were commenced in 2000, prior to Frontier’s involvement with the Perama Hill project.  Eldorado further understands that, if successful, the Petitions could set the process for obtaining the required governmental permits for the Perama Hill project back to where it stood when the litigation was commenced in 2000.

 

Eldorado has been advised that the Petitions were commenced in the Counseil d’Etat (“CdE”), the Supreme Administrative Court of Greece, by the municipalities of Maronia and Sappes, which are in the vicinity of the Perama Hill project, as well as by a number of local residents opposing the project and a few local non-governmental organizations opposing the project.  The defendant in both cases is the Greek Ministry of Public Works, Town-Planning and Environment (the “Ministry”).  The Petitions challenge and appeal the legal, constitutional and technical validity of the Pre-Approval Act (the “Pre-Approval Act”) issued by the Ministry in respect of the Perama Hill project.  This Pre-Approval Act established the framework under which the environmental impact study for the Perama Hill project was prepared and filed.

 

Thracean Gold Mining S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Frontier through which Frontier holds its interest in Perama Hill, has intervened in both cases to support the Ministry’s position that the Pre-Approval Act be upheld.

 

1



 

After numerous postponements, the Petitions were heard by a seven judge panel of the CdE in early June 2007.  On April 17, 2008, in response to inquiries by opposition members of the Greek Parliament, Deputy Minister Stavros Kalafatis of the Ministry of Development stated that a resolution of the Petitions is one of a number of pending procedures that must be completed before a Joint Ministerial Decision (“JMD”) approving the Environmental Terms of Reference (“ETR”) for Perama Hill will be issued by the Joint Ministerial Council (“JMC”).  The JMC is comprised of the Ministries of Environment, Agriculture, Culture, Development and Health.

 

Eldorado has been advised that there are three possible outcomes to the litigation:

 

(1)          the Petitions may be accepted, in which event the permitting process for the Perama Hill project could be set back to where it stood in 2000.  This would require, among other regulatory work, the issuance of a preliminary environmental assessment and evaluation opinion for Perama Hill by the Ministry and the filing of a new environmental impact study on Perama Hill;

 

(2)          the seven judge panel may decline to issue judgements and refer the Petitions to the plenary session of the CdE sitting en banc.  Eldorado has been advised that, in such an event, the Petitions would be expected to take an additional one to three years to be decided; or

 

(3)          the Petitions may be rejected, in which event the Pre-Approval Act will remain valid and the permitting process will move on to consideration and potential issuance of a JMD accepting the ETR.  Rejection of these Petitions and issuance of a JMD, however, will not foreclose the possibility of a lengthy court challenge of such JMD.

 

Eldorado will continue its ongoing due diligence review and monitoring of Frontier, particularly with respect to the Petitions concerning Perama Hill and its permitting.

 

Eldorado has consistently maintained that significant permitting and regulatory work remains to bring Perama Hill into production.  Eldorado believes its recent experience in permitting and regulatory matters, responding to court challenges and fostering broad community support in relation to its operating Kisladag mine and its construction-stage Efemçukuru mine, both in Turkey, will be invaluable in successfully negotiating the Greek permitting and regulatory regime for Perama Hill.

 

Frontier Directors’ Circular

 

On May 26, 2008, the Board of Directors of Frontier issued their circular (the “Directors’ Circular”) recommending that Shareholders reject the Offer.  After an in-depth review of the Directors’ Circular, Eldorado has concluded that no new information has been offered that would change Eldorado’s view that the Offer is full and fair.

 

Eldorado Commences Construction of Efemçukuru Mine

 

On June 2, 2008, Eldorado announced that it has received notice that the Fourth Administrative Court in Izmir has ruled in favour of the Environmental Positive Opinion issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry for the Efemçukuru project.  Eldorado is now in receipt of all permits and approvals necessary to construct its Efemçukuru mine in Turkey.

 

Construction activities at Efemçukuru are now underway, with site preparation work initially focussed on providing upgraded access to the site and necessary site cleaning.

 

2.                                    Time for Acceptance

 

The Offer is still open for acceptance until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on June 17, 2008, unless extended or withdrawn.  See “Time for Acceptance” in Section 2 of the Offer in the Original Offer and Circular.

3.            Manner of Acceptance

 

Common Shares may be deposited under the Offer in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of the Offer in the Original Offer and Circular, “Manner of Acceptance”.

 

4.                                   Take Up and Payment for Deposited Common Shares

 

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, Eldorado will take up and pay for Common Shares validly deposited to the Offer and not withdrawn as set out in Section 6 of the Offer in the Original Offer and Circular, “Payment for Deposited Common Shares”.

 

5.           Withdrawal of Deposited Common Shares

 

Shareholders have a right to withdraw Common Shares deposited under the Offer in the circumstances and in the manner set out in Section 8 of the Offer in the Original Offer and Circular, “Withdrawal of Deposited Common Shares”.

 

6.           Consequential Amendments to the Original Offer and Circular and Other Documents

 

The Original Offer and Circular, the Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery are amended to the extent necessary to reflect the information contained in this Notice of Change in Information.

 

7.            Statutory Rights

 

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides Shareholders with, in addition to any other rights they may have at law, rights of rescission or rights to damages, or both, if there is a misrepresentation in a circular or a notice that is required to be delivered to Shareholders.  However, such rights must be exercised within prescribed time limits.  Shareholders should refer to the applicable provisions of the securities legislation of their province or territory for particulars of those rights or consult with a lawyer.

 

8.            Directors’ Approval

 

The contents of this Notice of Change in Information have been approved, and the sending thereof to the securityholders of Frontier has been authorized, by the Board of Directors of Eldorado.

PART II

 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

 

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, the Registrant may indemnify a director or officer of the Registrant, a former director or officer of the Registrant or another individual who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Registrant or other entity and provided that the director, officer or other individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of the Registrant, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Registrant’s request and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful. Such indemnification may be made in connection with a derivative action only with court approval. A director, officer or other individual referred to above is entitled to indemnification from the Registrant as a matter of right if he was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done and fulfilled the conditions set forth above.

 

In accordance with the Canada Business Corporations Act, the Registrant has entered indemnification agreements under which it has agreed to indemnify its directors and certain officers in the manner outlined above.

 

A policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance is maintained by the Registrant which insures directors and officers for losses as a result of claims against the directors and officers of the Registrant in their capacity as directors and officers and also reimburses the Registrant for payments made pursuant to the indemnity provisions under the Registrant’s By-Laws and the Canada Business Corporations Act.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy in the United States as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
