In a significant step towards transforming Ghana’s gold industry, the GoldBoard Technical Committee, led by Mr. Sammy Gyamfi Esq., met with Lands Minister Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah on Monday, February 10, 2025. The committee presented a comprehensive policy concept for establishing the GoldBoard, emphasizing their readiness to collaborate with key stakeholders to present a Bill for its establishment.
The Lands Minister welcomed the initiative, affirming that the GoldBoard is a key component of the government’s plan to advance natural resource management, regulate the gold industry, stabilize the cedi, and maximize revenue from gold exports. This development demonstrates the government’s commitment to ensuring Ghana’s gold industry contributes significantly to the country’s economic growth.
The GoldBoard Technical Committee’s efforts are part of a broader initiative to strengthen Ghana’s mining sector. The committee comprises experts from various institutions, tasked with drafting a legal framework and developing an operational structure for the GoldBoard.
With the government’s support, the GoldBoard is poised to play a crucial role in Ghana’s economic transformation, particularly in the mining sector. As the government continues to work towards adding value to Ghana’s mineral resources, the GoldBoard will be instrumental in regulating the gold industry and ensuring that Ghana maximizes its benefits from gold exports.
