Ghana moves to boost local gold refining with new GoldBod deal
The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) is set to formally sign a gold refining agreement with Gold Coast Refinery on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, in a move aimed at strengthening Ghana’s gold value chain and boosting local value addition.
The agreement, described as a milestone partnership, is expected to enhance Ghana’s domestic gold refining capacity and support the country’s broader industrialisation agenda by promoting in-country processing of gold.
The signing ceremony will take place at the Conference Room on the 5th Floor of the GoldBod Head Office in Accra.
The Minister for Finance, Cassiel Ato Forson, is expected to attend the event as Special Guest of Honour, underscoring government’s commitment to reforms and investments that deepen value retention within the mining sector.
The partnership between GoldBod and Gold Coast Refinery aligns with national efforts to move beyond raw mineral exports and increase domestic beneficiation, employment creation and revenue generation from Ghana’s gold resources.
