The GoldBod Technical Committee, led by Sammy Gyamfi Esq., Acting Managing Director of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC), held a successful stakeholder engagement in Tarkwa. The meeting brought together small-scale miners, gold dealers, bullion traders, and jewelers from the Western Region to discuss the purpose and functions of the soon-to-be-established GoldBod.
Participants were sensitized on the need to cooperate with GoldBod, which aims to restructure the gold trading sector and optimize national benefits. The discussions were engaging, with all participants declaring their support for President Mahama’s vision to establish GoldBod, hailing it as a game-changer for the industry.
The Technical Committee expressed gratitude to various associations, including the Ghana National Association of Small Scale Miners and the Chamber of Bullion Traders, for their patriotism and invaluable contributions. Once established, GoldBod is expected to mobilize foreign exchange, accumulate gold reserves, and strengthen the Ghana cedi and economy as a whole.
