Ghana's GoldBod denies buying from illegal miners, says all gold comes from licensed sources, and is launching a blockchain traceability system in 2026.
The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), established in 2025 under Act 1140, denies buying gold from illegal miners, stating all gold comes from licensed aggregators.
It operates a four-tier licensing system, has issued 900 licenses, and is developing a blockchain-based traceability system for rollout in 2026.
The GoldBod, distinct from the defunct PMMC, holds exclusive rights to purchase ASM gold and enforces regulations to combat smuggling.
It reports an unaudited income surplus of over GHS800 million in 2025, attributing past G4R programme losses to policy design, not operations.
The board also confirms multiple international off-takers, debunking claims of a single buyer.
