The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has exported 88 tonnes of small-scale gold, valued at US$12 billion, since January 2026, Finance Minister Hon. Cassiel Ato Forson has disclosed.
Presenting the 2027 Budget Statement and Economic Policy of the Government, Mr. Forson said the figure compares with 80.64 tonnes, valued at US$10.23 billion, exported from the large-scale mining sector over the same period.
The disclosure shows that small-scale operators, whose output is now channelled through GoldBod, have outpaced the large-scale sector in both volume and value of gold exported this year.
