The Association of Small Scale Miners is urging stakeholders to look beyond the immediate operational costs of refining gold locally, arguing that the policy could create jobs and reduce youth unemployment.
Communication Director of the Association, Abdul Razak Alhassan, believes that the broader economic benefits of local refining must be considered alongside the costs faced by players in the gold industry.
GoldBod says the measure is intended to deepen local value addition in Ghana’s gold industry.
