The Concerned Small Scale Miners Association says it is on course to meet the June 21 deadline set by the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) for compliance with the new gold trading license regime.Ghanaian tourism
In May 2025, the association requested an extension after many of its members were unable to meet the original May 21 deadline due to delays in securing key documentation.
GoldBod subsequently granted a final grace period ending June 21, warning that no further extensions would be allowed.
Speaking to Citi News, the President of the Association, Michael Kwadwo Peprah, confirmed that the situation had improved significantly.
“Initially, we had challenges with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The process to acquire a certificate used to take over a week, which made it difficult to meet the timeline. But now, additional offices have been established, including at the district level, to support the existing EPA structures. As a result, obtaining clearances for gold trading licenses has become much smoother,” he said.
He noted that the GoldBod licensing process is now being prioritised by the relevant state institutions, accelerating the regularisation of small-scale miners across the country
