ELDORADO CONFIRMS BEST AND FINAL OFFER FOR FRONTIER WILL EXPIRE ON JUNE 17, 2008

VANCOUVER, BC - Paul N. Wright, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado” or “we”), announced today that Eldorado’s offer to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Frontier Pacific Mining Corporation (“Frontier”) for 0.1220 Eldorado common shares and Cdn.$0.0001 in cash per Frontier common share represents Eldorado’s best and final offer price for Frontier. There will be no extension of the offer and the offer will expire at 5:00 pm (Toronto time) on June 17, 2008 in accordance with its terms if its conditions are not met, including the minimum tender condition of 66 2/3%.

“This represents our best and final offer for Frontier,” said Eldorado’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Paul N. Wright. “Recent developments in Greece which have underscored the challenges faced in permitting Frontier’s Perama Hill project, such as a reported statement by Environment and Public Works Minister Giorgos Souflias that the New National Land Use Plan will not include Thrace as an area where gold extraction is allowed, have left us confident that our offer strikes a balance between the reasonable expectations of Frontier’s shareholders and the highest price that Eldorado, as a developer and operator of gold mines, could responsibly propose. We look forward to concluding this offer and advancing our pipeline of projects.”

How to Tender

Frontier shareholders wishing to accept the Eldorado Offer are encouraged to tender their shares by completing the letter of transmittal accompanying the documents mailed to them and returning it together with certificates representing their Frontier shares and all other documents to the offices of Kingsdale Shareholder Services Inc. in Toronto, Ontario in accordance with the instructions in the letter of transmittal. If Frontier shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary, Frontier shareholders should contact such intermediary and instruct it to tender their Frontier shares.

Such an offer may only be made pursuant to an offer and take-over bid circular filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada.

Rationale for the Offer

The combination of Eldorado and Frontier would be beneficial to Frontier’s shareholders for a variety of reasons, including:

•

a substantial premium for Frontier shareholders. Eldorado’s offer, based on the recent closing price of Eldorado’s common shares on June 13, 2008, represents a premium of 43.3 % to Frontier’s share price on April 18, 2008, the last day prior to the announcement of the Offer;

•

significantly enhanced liquidity for Frontier’s shareholders;

•

elimination of the existing “market overhang” from Frontier’s largest shareholder;

•

participation in a high quality, high growth gold producer with low cost operating assets and a significant market presence and analytical endorsement;

•

elimination of existing “single project” risk through exposure to Eldorado’s portfolio of producing mines and near-term projects in construction;

•

an opportunity to enhance and accelerate development of the Perama Hill project with the assistance of Eldorado, an operator with a proven track record of successfully permitting, constructing and operating mines;

•

the availability of financial and technical resources to manage the Perama Hill project through the challenges associated with mine permitting, construction and operations;

•

the financial platform and flexibility to bring the Perama Hill project into production with no additional dilution to Frontier’s current shareholders;

•

increased financial strength, immediate cash flow from current gold production and improved access to capital; and

•

the opportunity for operational and administrative synergies between Eldorado’s gold projects in Turkey and Frontier’s Perama Hill project in neighboring Greece.
