European Goldfields announces EIS Submitted

WHITEHORSE, YUKON--(Marketwire - August 9, 2010) -

For Immediate Release                                   9 August 2010

                    European Goldfields Limited

             FINAL EIS FOR GREEK PROJECTS SUBMITTED
STRATONI: ENVIRONMENTAL PERMIT EXTENDED AND RESERVES UPDATE

9 August 2010 - European Goldfields Limited (TSX / AIM: EGU) ("European
Goldfields" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the final
Environmental Impact Study ("EIS") for the Company's project in
Halkidiki (the "Project"), in North-Eastern Greece, has now been
submitted to the Greek Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate
Change ("MoE").

In late September 2009 the Greek authorities completed the Preliminary
Environmental Assessment and Evaluation based on the Preliminary
Environmental Impact Study ("PEIS") submitted by the Company's
95%-owned subsidiary Hellas Gold SA, and issued a pre-approval of the
construction and operation of the Project.


The Project consists of:

* The development of mining and processing at the Skouries project.

* The next stages of the Olympias project, namely the mining and
processing of ore and metallurgical treatment of the concentrate, in
accordance with the business plan as originally submitted.

* Continuation of operations at the Mavres Petres deposit of the
Stratoni Mine.

* Development of the port facilities at Stratoni to service the
above projects' operations.

The completion and submission of the EIS is another landmark in
European Goldfields' development of the Project.

The EIS will now be subject to the final stages of a decision-making
process that conforms to the EU Directive on Environmental Impact
Assessment. In summary the EIS is reviewed by the competent authorities
and is subject to public consultation, the requirements for which are
set out in this EU Directive and embodied in Greek law.

Stratoni Environmental Permit Extended

The Environmental Permit for the Stratoni lead-zinc-silver mine has
been extended until the end of July 2012. The extended permit was
received by the company from the MoE and ensures production can
continue until the granting of the overall Environmental Permit for all
of European Goldfields' projects in Northern Greece.

Reserves Update

The Company also announces that new reserves have been estimated for
the Company's Stratoni operation as follows:

Reserve Category '000t Ag g/t Ag Moz  Pb % Pb '000t  Zn %  Zn '000t

Proven           1,657   174    9.3    6.1   101     8.5    141

Probable           103   225    0.7    8.7    9      9.3     10

Total            1,760   177   10.0    6.3  110      8.5    150


Mining depleted the reserve by a total of some 295,000 wettonnes over
the course of 2009 and Q1 2010 compared to the January 2009 reserve
detailed in the June 2009 report. Additional tonnes were added through
exploration to the lower part of the mine but were offset by other
sections of the mine being inaccessible due to adverse geotechnical
conditions. The deposit is open in several directions and further
expansion of reserves is planned through the 2010 exploration drilling
programme.
