President John Dramani Mahama shared good news about Ghana's gold business. The Ghana Gold Board has made big changes since it started working. Ghana made $2.7 billion from selling gold between January and April 2025. The Precious Minerals Marketing Company and Ghana Gold Board handled these sales. Mahama spoke at the Mining in Motion Summit on Monday.
The president said the Gold Board cleaned up Ghana's gold business. The country earns more money from gold sales because of these changes. Officials work hard to make sure Ghana gets the best deals from its gold. The Gold Board focuses on making the gold trade better for everyone. These efforts help Ghana make more money from its natural resources.
The Gold Board plans to start a new tracking system soon. This system will check where Ghana's gold comes from before selling it. The board wants to make sure all gold comes from safe mining places. Workers will track gold from the mine to the buyer. This system protects Ghana's reputation around the world.
The board will teach small miners how to dig for gold safely. These training programs show miners better ways to work. The lessons cover how to protect the environment during mining. The Gold Board partners with the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources for this training. Private companies also help with these teaching programs.
Officials plan to fix about 10,000 hectares of damaged mining land. The Gold Board works with government offices and private companies on this project. They want to make the land useful again after mining damage. This cleanup helps communities affected by old mining operations. The work shows Ghana cares about fixing environmental problems.
