GoldBod introduces special bonus for licensed miners

In a bid to motivate licensed miners and fight gold smuggling, the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has today, Wednesday, 27th August 2025, introduced a special temporary bonus of GHS832 per pound of gold for all licensed miners across the country.

As a result of this initiative, a pound of gold which should have sold in the local market for GHS8,868 is today selling at a price of GHS9,700.

This move is in response to legitimate complaints from licensed miners about the significant reduction in the local price of gold in recent months due to the continuous appreciation of the Ghana cedi.

The special bonus will ensure that licensed miners who have contributed immensely to the country’s increased gold output and foreign exchange earnings do not indirectly suffer as a result of the significant appreciation of the Ghana cedi that they have helped the country achieve.

GoldBod has adequately resourced and directed its licensed traders across the country to ensure the prompt payment of this special bonus to all licensed miners who sell their gold to GoldBod.
