Eldorado calls off threat to shutter Greek development projects as relations thaw

Canadian gold producer Eldorado Gold reports that icy relations with the leftist Greek government is on the mend, and it has temporarily postponed its threats to mothball development of the Kasandra Mines assets in Halkidiki, Northern Greece. The Vancouver-based company said on Thursday that it has entered into constructive dialogue with Greece's Ministry of Energy and Environment (MoE) regarding the development of the Skouries and Olympias projects and the Stratoni mine, held by the company's subsidiary, Hellas Gold.
