President John Dramani Mahama has commended Sammy Gyamfi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana GoldBoard (Goldbod), for what he describes as an impressive start to the new institution’s operations.
Speaking on the performance of the Goldbod shortly after its launch, Mahama said,
“Mr. Sammy Gyamfi is the Chief Executive of the Ghana Goldbod, and he is already doing wonders.”
The Ghana GoldBoard, which was formerly known as the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC), was officially launched on April 2, 2025. It was created to bring structure, oversight, and regulation to the country’s gold trading space—especially within the small-scale mining sector.
Though only a few weeks into its establishment, Goldbod under Sammy Gyamfi’s leadership is already making waves.
The institution has begun rolling out new systems to track and manage gold exports more efficiently, clamping down on illegal smuggling and plugging revenue leakages.
The agency is also winning trust from both miners and exporters for its efforts to bring transparency and accountability into a sector often riddled with loopholes.
Insiders say the introduction of tighter oversight and improved recordkeeping has already begun to reflect in increased export revenue.
