According to Mr. Gyamfi, the milestone reflects the resilience of the small-scale mining sector and its expanding contribution to foreign exchange inflows, national development, and Ghana’s standing in the global gold market.
“Yesterday, the Ghana Gold Board surpassed its 2025 small-scale gold export target of 100 tons, generating over 10 billion dollars in foreign exchange for the country,” he stated.
He added that GoldBod remains committed to working closely with small-scale miners to promote sustainable mining practices and ensure strict compliance with national mining regulations, while also supporting the continued growth of the sector.
