Ghana Gold Board Reports $4 Billion in Revenue from Artisanal and Small-scale Mining (ASM) Sector in Four-Month Period
Ghana purchased and exported $4 billion worth of gold from the artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector between February and May 2025, according to Sammy Gyamfi, Managing Director, Ghana Gold Board. Speaking at the Mining in Motion 2025 Summit on Tuesday, Gyamfi said gold purchasing and exportation was made through the newly established Ghana Gold Board, aimed at curbing illicit gold trading in Ghana. 'Gold exports from ASM players have exceeded exports from the large-scale sector for the first time. Total gold exported from the ASM sector between February and May reached a new record of 41 tons,' he stated. According to Gyamfi, the milestone has increased foreign currency contributed by the ASM sector for the government with in May 2025 alone the sector producing and exporting 11 tons of gold worth up to $1,172 billion in export revenue. 'The data shows the potential of the ASM if properly annexed,' he added. He also announced various upcoming initiatives aimed at empowering the ASM sector and its contribution gold sector expansion while addressing illicit mining. These include launching an ASM skills training program in September 2025 and investments in the Community Mining Scheme operated by the Ministry of Lands and Mineral Resources. The Ghana Gold Board will also launch an Anti-Smuggling Taskforce to address illicit export of gold and a gold tokenization facility to maximize traceability of Ghanaian resources. The board also plans to establish an international standardization facility in the country by 2026 to ensure responsible sourcing and sustainability across the entire gold value chain.

Unregulated Gold Rush Poses Existential Risk to Ghana's Mining Future
Ghana's gold reserves have surged to 31.37 tonnes in 2025, reaffirming its position as Africa's leading gold producer. However, this growth is shadowed by a significant rise in artisanal and small-scale mining , which now accounts for nearly 40% of national output. The proliferation of unlicensed operations is raising alarms over environmental degradation, regulatory challenges, and the long-term sustainability of the country's mining sector. The Ghana Chamber of Mines projects a 6.25% increase in gold production, reaching 5.1 million ounces this year. This uptick is driven by both large-scale projects, such as Newmont's Ahafo South and Shandong's Namdini mines, and a notable expansion in ASM activities. Despite contributing significantly to gold output, an estimated 70–80% of ASM operations remain unlicensed, complicating efforts to regulate the sector and mitigate its environmental impact. The environmental consequences of unregulated ASM are evident. In Senegal, similar practices have led to mercury contamination in the Faleme River, prompting a suspension of mining activities along its banks until 2027. In Ghana, the use of mercury and other hazardous chemicals in ASM poses serious risks to both ecosystems and public health. ADVERTISEMENT To address these challenges, the Ghanaian government has established the GoldBod initiative, aiming to streamline small-scale gold purchases and combat smuggling. The removal of withholding taxes has also been implemented to reduce illegal trade. However, enforcement remains a significant hurdle, with many ASM operations continuing outside the legal framework. The rise in ASM is not unique to Ghana. Across Africa, artisanal mining supports the livelihoods of millions but often operates in legal grey areas. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, for instance, ASM is a major component of the mining industry, yet it frequently involves child labor and unsafe working conditions. Efforts to formalize the sector have been inconsistent, leading to ongoing concerns about human rights and environmental sustainability. The World Bank has introduced a new framework to promote sustainable and inclusive ASM practices. This approach emphasizes the professionalization of artisanal miners, urging governments to implement regulatory measures that ensure environmental stewardship and social well-being. By fostering partnerships among governments, multilateral institutions, and civil society, the framework seeks to integrate ASM into the formal economy, enhancing transparency and accountability. Technological advancements offer potential solutions for sustainable mining. In Zimbabwe, the introduction of biological oxidation techniques has reduced pollution by 20%, minimizing the use of harmful chemicals like mercury and cyanide. Similarly, the adoption of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, is transforming mining operations across Africa, reducing carbon footprints and operational costs. Despite these initiatives, the path to sustainable mining in Ghana remains fraught with challenges. The informal nature of ASM, coupled with limited access to financing and equipment, hampers efforts to improve efficiency and safety. Moreover, the lack of clear property rights and tenure security often leads to conflicts between artisanal miners and large-scale mining companies. To mitigate these issues, experts advocate for comprehensive reforms that include simplifying licensing processes, providing technical training, and ensuring fair market access for artisanal miners. By integrating ASM into the formal economy, Ghana can enhance regulatory compliance, protect the environment, and promote equitable economic growth.

Mining in Motion Highlights Role of Artisanal Small-Scale Miners (ASM)-Large-Scale Miners (LSM) Synergies in Africa
Ghana is making strides towards fostering greater collaboration between Artisanal Small-Scale Miners (ASM) and Large-Scale Miners (LSM), seeking to unlock greater value from the mining industry while creating newfound opportunities for local communities. A discussion at the Mining in Motion 2025 summit highlighted the value of strengthen ASM-LSM synergies, with speakers underscoring the need to promote cooperation among industry stakeholders. The session – titled Fostering Synergies Between ASM and LSM: Maximizing Gold Value through Collaboration – shed light on the role ASMs play, not only in Ghana but across the broader African continent. ASMs make up a large part of Ghana's mining industry, contributing over 35% to the country's total gold output. According to Okyere Yaw Ntrama, General Manager, Ahafo Mine at Newmont Ghana Gold Limited, 'The ASM industry is labor-intensive but they are also the best producers in terms of driving value for the economy. Formalization and synergies are not only about co-existence but about co-creation of knowledge, equal access and prosperity. When we talk about shared value, we also talk about resources that should be optimally mined. If there are areas that cannot be mined by larger companies, they should be given to small-scale miners.' Ntrama further explained that through synergies between the ASM and LSM industry, Ghana can optimize mining operations. Specifically, the country can determine areas which are not commercially viable for LSM players, handing them over to ASMs to develop. Otu Solomon Kwame from the Association of Small-Scale Miners of Ghana, emphasized that, 'Sometimes small-scale miners feel neglected by the larger companies. We need to devise policies to make sure these companies are fixed into lasting cooperation. We need to work with mining companies to determine areas that have been determined as [unfeasible]. Those areas can be given to small-scale miners.' Meanwhile, Edward Bickham, Senior Adviser, World Gold Council, believes that there needs to be greater trust developed between ASM and LSM companies. He stated: 'ASMs need to be treated as other stakeholders are: understood and worked with because they are significant. As an LSM, you need to think of the sustainable development of the communities around you. ASM is an important part of livelihoods. There is also the issue of security and collaboration. You need to think about the dynamics and relationships between the two types of miners. There is a huge trust-building initiative that needs to be taken.' Echoing these remarks, Eduard Cornew, Co-founder&President of Mwamba Mining, emphasized that trust is an imperative part of improving cooperation and accelerating productivity across Ghana's mining sector. Cornew drew attention to the need to create trust between different mining corporations – from small-scale miners to larger corporations. Beyond Ghana, major mining producers in Africa are turning to regulation to facilitate collaboration across industry players. Jean-Paul Kapongo, Director General, SAEMAPE at the Ministry of Mining of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), explained that, ' It all started in our country with the advent of the mining code and the mining regulations. These two documents provide the possibility and the accessibility to access the DRC's mines.' The DRC is one of Africa's biggest mineral producers. By promoting synergies between ASM and LSM players, the country seeks to reaffirm its position as global supplier. Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Energy Capital&Power.
