NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 21, 2015 / Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Eldorado Gold Corporation ("Eldorado Gold" or the "Company") (NYSE: EGO). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 9980.

The investigation concerns whether Eldorado Gold and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On August 19, 2015, post-market, the company announced it was temporarily suspending operations at three sites in Northern Greece following the revocation of approvals for technical studies by the Greek Energy Ministry. The ministry reasoned Eldorado's tests should have been conducted on site, and not at its plant in Helsinki, Finland. The company has temporarily suspended the majority of its 2,000 Greek workers pending the result of an injunction filed with the Greek Supreme Court, and may lay the workers off should the injunction fail. Eldorado has described the Greek ministry's actions as "hostile" and "inappropriate," citing to three years of favorable decisions from the Greek Council of State.

On this news, Eldorado Gold Corporation shares fell as much as $0.50, or 12.41% during intraday trading on August 21, 2015.
