Ghana has generated $8.06 billion through gold exports from its small-scale gold sector between January and October 15, 2025.
This was revealed in latest data released by the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) and the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC).
According to data released by GoldBod, small-scale miners exported 81,719.23 kilograms of gold during the period, valued at US$8.06 billion, marking a sharp increase from US$4.61 billion recorded in 2024 and nearly quadruple the US$2.19 billion achieved in 2023.
The data shows a consistent upward trend in both gold volume and export value over the three-year period, reflecting improved regulation, transparency, and compliance within Ghana’s small-scale mining sector.
Per the data Ghana recorded ignificant monthly in May (US$1.17 billion), June (US$957.9 million), and April (US$897.6 million), underscoring strong performance in the second quarter of the year.
According to GoldBod, the positive results were due to its continued partnership with PMMC and strengthened oversight of small-scale gold exports.
It says the collaboration has been instrumental in curbing illicit trade and ensuring that proceeds from gold sales are properly repatriated into the Ghanaian economy.
The surge in export earnings is expected to boost Ghana’s foreign reserves and support the country’s ongoing economic recovery efforts.
