The Acting Managing Director of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC), Sammy Gyamfi, has said that government's quest to establish the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) is to regulate the small-scale mining sector.
It is also to revitalise Ghana's gold industry, enhance foreign exchange inflows and contribute to stabilising the local currency. "This project is designed to transform the sustainable management and marketing of Ghana's gold resources.
The GoldBod will also seek to formalise the small-scale gold mining sector, a critical component of the nation's mining industry," Sammy Gyamfi said in an interview with 3news on January 23.
With a huge responsibility on his shoulders, Sammy Gyamfi steps into the role at a time when Ghana's mineral sector holds immense promise for economic transformation.
