- Greece's top administrative court has annulled the government's decision last year to revoke Eldorado Gold's mining licence, according to court documents published on Wednesday
- Eldorado has put in about $700 million since 2012 and planned to invest another $1 billion to develop two mines at Skouries and Olympias sites in Halkidiki.
- But Greece's government revoked its permit in August, saying the tests for a so-called flash-melting method the company planned to use to ensure there would be no environmental damage did not take place on the spot, but rather outside Greece.
