Ghana reports refining 5.4 tonnes of small-scale gold locally in October

[SMM Gold Flash] Ghana’s Gold Board reports that 5.4 tonnes of the 5.7 tonnes of artisanal and small-scale gold it had purchased during October had been refined locally, or 94.6%. The figures were presented by its chief executive at a minerals policy forum. The board said two partner refineries had processed 25 tonnes of its small-scale gold cumulatively in 2026. The October figure measures processing of gold bought by the board; it does not measure all gold mined in Ghana. It is a separate development from the export totals reported earlier. Greater local refining could retain more processing activity in Ghana, while the government’s goal of ending raw mineral exports by 2030 remains a target.
