The Ghana Gold Board has extended the deadline for Ghanaian gold dealers with the old Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC) or Ministry-issued licences to reapply under the new regime.
The new date is now May 21, 2025.
Speaking at a press briefing on Wednesday, April 30, the acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi said, "We gave all PMMC license holders and holders of licenses issued by the minister responsible for mines an ultimatum which elapses today, 30th of April, to apply for new licenses under the Ghana Gold Board Act. "But we know that most of you have not been able to apply at all.
We can also see from the back end of our website and the license application portal that some of you have started the process of applying, but have not yet completed the application process." He said a few applicants had completed their submissions, but to ensure fairness, the Board is allowing an additional three weeks. "We've decided to extend the time frame for you to apply for a new Gold Board license, and that time frame is from today, the 30th of April, 2025, to the 21st of May, 2025.
