APL says GoldBod terminated US$1bn Goldstream deal over failure to meet obligations

Africa Policy Lens (APL) says the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has terminated its memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Goldstream Global DMCC after the company failed to fulfil its obligations under an agreement announced as a proposed US$1 billion investment in more than 300 mines across Ghana.

APL says the termination raises broader questions about due diligence, institutional oversight and transparency in major public-sector investment announcements.

The information cited by APL does not establish whether the proposed investment resulted in any financial commitments, whether public funds were spent or whether the company received any commercial rights before the MoU was terminated.
