Ghana has exported 66.7 tonnes of gold valued at $6.3 billion between January and August 2025, under the government’s new gold export framework for small-scale mining companies.
This was disclosed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Samuel Gyamfi, during the maiden Mining and Minerals Convention held in Accra.
He explained that the exports, executed in partnership with the Bank of Ghana, reflect the success of the Gold-for-Reserves and gold purchasing programmes introduced to promote transparency, optimize revenue, and drive local value addition in the sector.
Mr. Gyamfi stressed that the results mark a significant boost to Ghana’s foreign exchange earnings, helping to stabilize the cedi while reinforcing the nation’s position as Africa’s top gold producer.
Looking ahead, he noted that GoldBod is working with stakeholders to expand local refining and processing capacity as part of broader reforms aimed at making the mining sector a pillar of sustainable economic growth.
The Accra convention brought together policymakers, mining companies, and international partners to discuss the future of Ghana’s mining industry, with a focus on beneficiation, local participation, and regulatory innovation.
