Small-scale gold exports reach $6.3bn in eight months – Sammy Gyamfi

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, has disclosed that small-scale gold exports carried out by the Board in collaboration with the Bank of Ghana between January and August 2025 amounted to 66.7 tonnes.

Speaking at the maiden edition of the Mining and Minerals Convention in Accra on Tuesday, September 9, he noted that the exports have an estimated value of $6.3 billion.

“Since January up to the end of August 2025, small-scale gold exports undertaken by or through the GoldBod, working closely with the BoG, have hit a record high of 66.7 tonnes with an export value of approximately $6.3 billion.”

“What this means is that the volume and value of small-scale gold exports from January to August 2025 alone have exceeded the total small-scale exports outturn for the whole of the year 2024. That is from January to December, which stood at 63 tonnes with a value of about $4.6 billion.”
