Eldorado Gold Snapshot
Although it's not looking for a fabled city of gold, with Eldorado Gold's operations in Brazil, China, Greece, Romania, and Turkey, it might be able to build one. The company holds three operating mines in China, including the Tanjianshan gold project that it acquired by purchasing Afcan Mining in 2005. It also operates the Kilada and Efemçukuru mines in Turkey and the Vila Nova iron ore mine in Brazil. Eldorado Gold produced 658,652 ounces of gold in 2011 and aims to produce 1.5 million ounces of gold annually by 2015. The company acquired Greece's European Goldfields in 2012.
