GOLDBOD ENGAGES SMALL SCALE MINERS ASSOCIATIONS ON GOLD PRODUCTION ISSUES AND AFFIRMS SUPPORT FOR THEIR ACTIVITIES
The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has engaged leadership of the Ghana National Association of Small-Scale Miners and the Concerned Small-Scale Miners Association of Ghana to deliberate on critical issues affecting the gold production value chain.
During the meeting, the Chief Executive Officer of GoldBod, Sammy Gyamfi, Esq. highlighted concerns regarding purity losses within the gold value chain and the consequential impact on the Board’s finances.
He called for stronger collaboration between GoldBod and small-scale miners to address these losses, describing it as one of the major challenges confronting the gold trade.
The CEO reaffirmed GoldBod’s commitment to supporting the small-scale mining sector in line with its mandate, which allocates up to 30% of the Board’s surplus to assist small-scale miners. He invited the associations to submit a comprehensive working plan to guide the structured implementation of mining support initiatives.

The initiative is aimed at strengthening transparency, curbing smuggling and underpricing, and bringing structured gold markets closer to miners. With small-scale production rising significantly and contributing billions in foreign exchange, the focus remains on protecting these gains through formalisation and collaboration.
GoldBod is building a more accountable, inclusive, and resilient gold sector for Ghana.
