The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has engaged the 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 them 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 also invited the associations to submit a comprehensive working plan to guide the structured implementation of mining support initiatives.
