Small-scale gold miners have played a decisive role in Ghana’s latest export success, as the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) surpasses its 2025 gold export target, according to Acting Chief Executive Officer Sammy Gyamfi.

GoldBod exceeded its target of exporting 100 tons of small-scale gold in 2025, generating more than $10 billion in foreign exchange earnings for the country. Mr. Gyamfi announced the achievement on X on Wednesday, December 24, describing it as a landmark moment for the sector.

He said the development highlights the vital role small-scale miners continue to play in strengthening Ghana’s economy and boosting foreign exchange reserves.

Mr. Gyamfi noted that the achievement not only reflects the resilience of the sector but also reinforces Ghana’s position as a major player in the global gold market.

Looking ahead, he said GoldBod will intensify collaboration with small-scale miners to encourage sustainable operations, improve regulatory compliance, and ensure that the sector’s growth aligns with national development goals.
