The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) is the sole authority with exclusive right to buy, sell, weigh, grade, assay, value and export gold and other precious minerals in Ghana. The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) is a body corporate establishe

d by an Act of Parliament (ACT 1140) in the year 2025 to oversee, regulate and undertake the buying, selling, assaying, refining, exporting and other related activities in respect of Gold and other Precious Minerals in Ghana. The GoldBod per section 78 of ACT 1140, took over the rights, obligations, assets, liabilities and workforce of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC) Limited, which is an offshoot of the Ghana Diamond Marketing Board. In 1963, the Ghana Diamond Marketing Board was established and charged with the responsibility of purchasing and marketing Ghana’s diamonds. In 1965, by a Legislative Instrument (LI) 401, the Ghana Diamond Marketing Board was incorporated as a State-Owned Enterprise (SOE). Upon the promulgation of the diamonds decree (NRCD 32) in 1972, LI 916 was enacted to change the company’s name to Diamond Marketing Corporation. In 1989, PNDC Law 219 was enacted to yet again change the Company’s name to the Precious Minerals Marketing Corporation with enhanced functions to grade, assay, value gold, diamonds and other precious minerals of the country. In the year 2000, the Corporation was converted by the Statutory Corporations Conversion to Companies Act (ACT 461) to a Limited Liability Company to operate under the Ghana Companies Code Act, (ACT 179) 1963, as Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC) Limited with the same functions. In the year 2016, the PMMC was appointed the national assayer by the government of Ghana. To strengthen industry regulation and optimize national benefits, the Ghana GoldBod was established on 2 April, 2025 by the government of Ghana to restructure and streamline the precious mineral trading sector of Ghana. The GoldBod initiative is a product of extensive stakeholder consultations and aims at maximizing foreign exchange inflows, gold reserve accumulation and value addition for sustainable growth and transformation.

Ghana Gold Board seals refinery partnership with Royal Ghana Gold Limited.

The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has signed a landmark refinery agreement with Royal Ghana Gold Refinery in a major step towards Ghana’s mineral value addition agenda. Under the agreement, GoldBod will supply up to one metric tonne of gold every week for local refining, reinforcing government’s vision of ensuring that Ghana derives maximum value from its mineral resources before export. This marks GoldBod’s second refinery partnership in 2026, following the earlier agreement with Gold Coast Refinery.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, GoldBod CEO Sammy Gyamfi, Esq. reaffirmed President John Mahama’s commitment to ensuring that by 2030, all mineral resources mined in Ghana will be refined locally before export. The agreement is expected to help Ghana retain refining fees, recover valuable by-products, create jobs and strengthen the country’s position as a leading gold refining hub in Africa. The Bank of Ghana and Royal Ghana Gold Refinery also pledged their support towards advancing Ghana’s industrialisation and economic transformation agenda.
