A major producer that centralised ASM gold under a state board. The Ghana Gold Board Act 2025 makes GoldBod the sole buyer, assayer, exporter and regulator of ASM gold, with an online licence registry; a blockchain track-and-trace procurement is under way.
These indicators are read individually. Each is a framework-in-place status, source-linked and dated. The hub never averages them into a grade for this jurisdiction.
ASM gold is channelled through the GoldBod monopsony; a blockchain track-and-trace procurement was announced in November 2025 for end-2026 (vendor not yet awarded).
GoldBod export figures are self-reported and unaudited (P3); the monopsony model is contested.
A GoldBod blockchain track-and-trace procurement (announced November 2025, targeted end-2026) would add origin traceability, but no vendor has been awarded and no rule is yet in force.
Ghana Gold Board Act 2025 (Act 1140, adopted 2025-04-02): GoldBod is the sole buyer, assayer, exporter and regulator of ASM gold, with a licence registry online.
