Ghana’s 2026 artisanal gold output likely to surpass record 2025 level, Gold Board says
Gold Board bought up to 54 metric tons of gold from artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) in the first half of 2026, and the sector's output is on track to match or surpass last year's record, the state entity's CEO said on Tuesday.
Production reached a record 104 metric tons last year, overtaking large-scale mining output for the first time.
Despite the lower prices, Ghana was still on course to generate higher gold export earnings than last year, Gyamfi said, as average bullion prices remain above 2025 levels, though below GoldBod's initial projections.
