The Ghana Gold Board has surpassed its 2025 small-scale gold export target of 100 tonnes, generating more than $10 billion in foreign exchange for the country.
This achievement marks a major milestone for Ghana’s small-scale mining sector, which continues to play a crucial role in the national economy.
Speaking on the accomplishment, the CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, expressed pride in the sector’s performance.
“Yesterday, the Ghana Gold Board surpassed its 2025 small-scale gold export target of 100 tons, generating over 10 billion dollars in foreign exchange for the country,” he said.
Officials noted that the foreign exchange inflows from the small-scale mining sector are expected to strengthen national reserves, support local industries, and contribute to economic stability.
The Ghana Gold Board reaffirmed its commitment to supporting small-scale miners with formalisation, access to finance, and environmentally responsible practices, ensuring the sector’s growth remains sustainable in the long term.
