The Goldbod Technical Committee, under the leadership of the Acting Managing Director of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC), Sammy Gyamfi Esq., held a productive engagement with key stakeholders in the gold industry today. The meeting aimed to solicit views on the legal framework for the soon-to-be-established Ghana Gold Board.
The engagement brought together representatives from major industry bodies, including the National Association of Small Scale Miners, Concerned Small Scale Miners Association, Chamber of Mines, Chamber of Bullion Traders, Jewellers and Gold Dealers Association, and various civil society organizations (CSOs) in the extractive sector. Their insights and recommendations are expected to shape the regulatory and operational framework of the Ghana Gold Board, ensuring its effectiveness and sustainability.
During the discussions, stakeholders shared their perspectives on policies that would promote responsible mining, enhance regulatory compliance, and create a more structured gold trade in Ghana. The committee emphasized the importance of inclusivity in policy formulation and assured participants of ongoing engagements as they work toward establishing a fit-for-purpose institution—Goldbod.
In a statement, the committee expressed profound gratitude for the invaluable contributions of all participants. They reaffirmed their commitment to collaborative policymaking and ensuring that the Ghana Gold Board becomes a cornerstone for efficiency, transparency, and sustainability in Ghana’s gold sector.
This engagement marks a crucial step in the ongoing efforts to formalize and strengthen Ghana’s gold industry, reinforcing the government’s vision for a well-regulated and globally competitive gold sector.
