The Gold Board Technical Committee has held a successful stakeholder engagement with small-scale miners, gold dealers, traditional authorities, and other key industry players in the Upper East Regional capital of Bolgatanga.
The consultative meeting which took place on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, was aimed at gathering insights, brainstorming, and fine-tuning the operations of Goldbod.
Acting Managing Director of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC), Sammy Gyamfi, expressed confidence that the Goldbod Bill would be passed before Parliament goes on recess.
The discussions were highly engaging, with all participants expressing their full support for President Mahama’s vision to establish Goldbod, which they hailed as the game-changer they have long awaited.
So far, several notable figures, including former Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu and energy and mining expert Dr. Steve Manteaw, have endorsed the initiative.
When established, the Goldbod shall restructure the gold trading sector and optimize national benefits, particularly through the mobilization of foreign exchange and the accumulation of gold reserves to strengthen the Ghana cedi and economy as a whole.
