Eldorado Gold ( (TSE:ELD) ) has issued an announcement.
Eldorado Gold has produced the first copper concentrate at its 100%-owned McIlvenna Bay project in east-central Saskatchewan, marking a major step in commissioning the new mine and expanding its Canadian footprint. The first concentrate was generated on June 7, 2026, after wet and hot commissioning of the processing plant, with the operation now ramping up toward its 4,900 tonne-per-day nameplate capacity and targeting commercial production in the third quarter of 2026.
The project, acquired through Eldorado’s purchase of Foran Mining in April 2026, adds significant copper and zinc output to a portfolio previously dominated by gold, broadening both the company’s commodity mix and geographic diversification. Backed by roughly $17 million in planned 2026 exploration around McIlvenna Bay, including work on the nearby Tesla Zone and Bigstone deposit, Eldorado aims to grow resources, extend mine life and bolster long-term cash flow, while Canadian federal and Saskatchewan officials highlight the mine’s role in jobs, critical minerals supply and regional economic development.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:ELD) stock is a Hold
with a C$39.00 price target.

Spark’s Take on ELD Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ELD is a Neutral.
The score is supported by strong reported profitability and a generally sound balance sheet, plus a reasonable valuation. It is held back most by negative free cash flow/cash conversion and weak technical momentum (price below key moving averages with negative MACD), while the latest earnings call adds moderate upside from near-term project catalysts but with meaningful cost and timing risks.
