GoldBod to roll out gold traceability system this year – Sammy Gyamfi
The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, says Ghana is set to begin implementing a national gold traceability system this year to track gold purchased from small-scale miners.
According to him, the absence of a formal traceability system has meant that GoldBod currently cannot determine what proportion of the gold it purchased from small-scale miners was responsibly mined.
Mr Gyamfi said the broader objective is to formalise gold production and bring Ghana's small-scale mining supply chain into compliance with international responsible-sourcing standards.
