- Sammy Gyamfi tours Royal Ghana Gold Refinery to assess capacity for partnership
- Planned agreement focuses on expanding local gold refining and reducing raw exports
- Initiative aligns with John Dramani Mahama government’s value addition and job creation agenda
The Chief Executive Officer of GoldBod, Sammy Gyamfi, has visited the Royal Ghana Gold Refinery as part of ongoing efforts to formalise a refining services agreement.
The visit forms part of a broader strategy aligned with the local value addition agenda of the National Democratic Congress administration under John Dramani Mahama.
During the tour, Mr. Gyamfi and his team assessed the refinery’s operational capacity, technical capabilities, and readiness to support Ghana’s ambition of refining more of its gold domestically rather than exporting raw materials.
The engagement is expected to pave the way for a partnership that will strengthen Ghana’s gold value chain, promote industrialisation, and maximise revenue from the country’s mineral resources.
Officials say the proposed agreement will focus on enhancing in-country refining, boosting job creation, and ensuring that Ghana derives greater economic benefits from its gold sector.
The initiative underscores the government’s commitment to reducing reliance on raw exports and positioning Ghana as a key hub for gold processing in the region.
