GoldBod refining 7.1 tonnes of gold locally – Sammy Gyamfi

“We are profiling all persons with a licence to buy gold in Ghana, and it is helping us know where all the gold buys are coming from,” he said.

Speaking on Twitter Spaces on Sunday, August 9, 2026, Mr Gyamfi said the development was contributing to efforts to retain more value from Ghana’s gold industry within the domestic economy.

According to him, the local refining of the gold is helping Ghana retain fees that would otherwise have been paid to foreign countries where the gold previously had been processed.
