EXPLANATORY NOTE



This Amendment No. 1 amends the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2005, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4, 2006, to correct certain certificates filed as exhibits thereto.


Eldorado Gold Corporation (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is a Canadian issuer eligible to file its annual report pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) on Form 40-F.  The Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the 1934 Act and in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933.  Equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c), 14(f) and 16 of the 1934 Act pursuant to Rule 3a12-3.


The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian GAAP and reconciled to U.S. GAAP.  Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this report are in United States dollars.  The exchange rate of Canadian dollars into United States dollars, on December 30, 2005, based upon the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers payable in Canadian dollars as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was U.S.$1.00 = CDN$1.1656.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


This annual report and the exhibits attached hereto contain forward-looking statements concerning the Company’s plans at its properties, plans related to its business and other matters.  These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.

Statements concerning reserves and mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed, and in the case of mineral reserves, such statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited.  Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “plans”, “estimates” or “intends”, or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be “forward-looking statements.”  Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation:

·

The Company’s ability to generate revenue from operations, or to continue to raise funds through other sources for the further exploration and development of its properties, will be highly dependent on the price of gold, which has a history of wide fluctuation.

·

The Company is in the business of exploring, developing, and operating natural resource properties, which by its nature involves a significant amount of risk.  Discrepancies between actual and estimated reserves, and between estimated and actual metallurgical recoveries for the Company may have significant financial impact.

·

All of the Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulation which can make operations expensive or prohibit them altogether.

·

There may be challenges to the title of the Company’s properties which, if successful, could impair its development and/or operations.




·

The Company’s significant properties are located in Brazil, China and Turkey and subject to risks specific to those jurisdictions, including potential political or economic instability that may affect the Company’s ability to operate.  Currency fluctuations may also impact the Company’s profitability.

·

There are a number of outstanding securities and agreements pursuant to which Common Shares of the Company may be issued in the future.  This would result in dilution to the Company’s shareholders.

·

The Company operates in a competitive industry and competes with other more well established companies which have greater financial resources than the Company.

·

Operations in which the Company has an interest will be subject to all of the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploring, developing and operating natural resources, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to persons or property and possible environmental damage.

·

The Company depends on a number of key employees, the loss of any one of whom could have an adverse effect on the Company.

·

The Company, where practical, maintains insurance against risks in the operations of its business.  Such insurance, however, contains exclusions and limitations on coverage.  There is no assurance that such insurance will continue to be available.

·

The Company has options to acquire interests in, or is party to joint ventures in respect of, certain of its properties.  None of these properties are core assets of the Company.  However, the Company may require additional financing to meet its obligations under these agreements and there is no guarantee that such funds will be available.

·

If the Company should require additional funds for exploration and development of its properties, which is likely, it would have to seek equity and/or debt financing which may not be available.


Some of the important risks and uncertainties that could affect forward-looking statements are described further in the exhibits attached to this Registration Statement.  Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements are made based on management’s beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change.  Investors are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forward-looking statements.


Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of the Company’s management at the time the statements were made.  The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements should circumstances or management’s estimates or opinion change.



NOTE TO UNITED STATES READERS-

DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES


The Company is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this annual report in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States.  The Company prepares its financial statements, which are filed with this report on Form 40-F in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting practices (“GAAP”), and they may be subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards.  They may not be comparable  to financial statements of the United States companies.  Significant differences between




Canadian GAAP and United States GAAP are described in Note 15 of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company.


RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES

The terms “Mineral Reserve,” “Proven Mineral Reserve” and “Probable Mineral Reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as may be amended from time to time by the CIM. These definitions differ from the definitions in the United States Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7 under the Securities Act of 1933.  The definitions of proven and probable reserves used in NI 43-101 differ from the definitions in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7.  Under SEC Guide 7 standards, a “Final” or “Bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three year history average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and normally are not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC.  Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.  “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases.


Accordingly, information contained in this report and the documents incorporated by reference herein containing descriptions of our mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.


ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM

The Company’s Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 was filed as Document 1 to the Company’s annual report on Form 40-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4, 2006 and incorporated by reference in this amended annual report on Form 40-F.

AUDITED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Audited Annual Financial Statements

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, including the report of the auditors with respect thereto, was filed as Document 2 to the Company’s annual report on Form 40-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4, 2006 and incorporated by reference in this amended annual report on Form 40-F.  For a reconciliation of important differences between Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles, see Note 15 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.






Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Company’s management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) was filed as Document 3 to the Company’s annual report on Form 40-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4, 2006 and incorporated by reference in this amended annual report on Form 40-F.


DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

At the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 14(c) and Rule 15d – 14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Based on that evaluation the CEO and the CFO have concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the Securities & Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required.


CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

During the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 40-F, no changes occurred in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

In 2005, our Audit Committee determined that non-audit services would no longer be performed by the Company’s external auditors and that management was instructed to establish agreements with other service providers for such non-audit services.

"Audit Fees" are the aggregate fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the audit of the Company’s consolidated annual financial statements, reviews of interim financial statements and attestation services that are provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

"Audit-Related Fees" are fees charged by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements and are not reported under "Audit Fees." This category comprises fees billed for independent accountant review of the interim financial statements and Management Discussion and Analysis, as well as advisory services associated with the Company’s financial reporting.

"Tax Fees" are fees for professional services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for tax compliance, tax advice on actual or contemplated transactions.


PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES PROVIDED BY
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit services to be provided to the Company by its independent auditors.  The Audit Committee’s policy regarding the pre-approval of non-audit services to be provided to the Company by its independent auditors is that all such services shall be pre-approved by the Audit Committee.  Non-audit services that are prohibited to be provided to the Company by its independent auditors may not be pre-approved.  In addition, prior to the granting of any pre-approval, the Audit Committee must be satisfied that the performance of the services in question will not compromise the independence of the independent auditors.  Since the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all




non-audit services, performed by the Company’s auditor, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, have been pre-approved by the Audit Committee of the Company.  No non-audit services were approved pursuant to the de minimis exemption to the pre-approval requirement.

Information regarding off-balance sheet transactions is included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Company, which is filed as Document 3 and incorporated by reference in this report on Form 40-F.

All amendments to the code, and all waivers of the code with respect to any of the officers covered by it, will be posted on the Company’s web site, submitted on Form 6-K and provided in print to any shareholder who requests them.  The Company’s website is located at www.eldoradogold.com.

NOTICES PURSUANT TO REGULATION BTR


There were no notices required by Rule 104 of Regulation BTR that the Registrant sent during the year ended December 31, 2005 concerning any equity security subject to a blackout period under Rule 101 of Regulation BTR.


AMEX CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company’s common shares are listed on The American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”).  Section 110 of the AMEX company guide permits AMEX to consider the laws, customs and practices of foreign issuers in relaxing certain AMEX listing criteria, and to grant exemptions from AMEX listing criteria based on these considerations.  A company seeking relief under these provisions is required to provide written certification from independent local counsel that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by home country law.  A description of the significant ways in which the Company’s governance practices differ from those followed by domestic companies pursuant to AMEX standards is as follows:

Shareholder Meeting Quorum Requirement:  The AMEX minimum quorum requirement for a shareholder meeting is one-third of the outstanding shares of common stock.  In addition, a company listed on AMEX is required to state its quorum requirement in its bylaws.  The Company’s quorum requirement is set forth in its Memorandum and Articles.  A quorum for a meeting of members of the Company is two persons present and being, or representing by proxy, members holding not less than 5% of the issued shares entitled to be voted at such meeting.

Proxy Delivery Requirement:  AMEX requires the solicitation of proxies and delivery of proxy statements for all shareholder meetings, and requires that these proxies shall be solicited pursuant to a proxy statement that conforms to SEC proxy rules. The Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the 1934 Act, and the equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from the proxy rules set forth in Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c) and 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Company solicits proxies in accordance with




applicable rules and regulations in Canada.

The foregoing are consistent with the laws, customs and practices in Canada.

In addition, we may from time-to-time seek relief under from AMEX corporate governance requires on specific transactions under Section 110 of the AMEX Company Guide by providing written certification from independent local counsel that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by our home country law, in which case, we shall make the disclosure of such transactions available on our website at www.eldoradogold.com.  Information contained on our website is not part of this annual report.

Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

3.

Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.

The issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the issuer and have:

(a)

Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the issuer, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;

The issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the issuer’s auditors and the audit committee of the issuer’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

(a)

All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the issuer’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

(b)

Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the issuer’s internal control over financial reporting.
