Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, has honoured an invitation from Sam Refinery — the largest refinery in the Middle East and the third-largest globally — to discuss a potential strategic partnership aimed at strengthening Ghana’s mineral and mining value chain.

During the high-level engagement, Gyamfi explored avenues for investment, technology transfer, and enhanced collaboration between GoldBod and Sam Refinery. The discussions form part of GoldBod’s broader strategy to attract reputable global partners to boost Ghana’s capacity in mineral processing and value addition.

The Ghana Gold Board, operating under the Ministry of Finance, is the sole authority mandated to buy, sell, weigh, grade, assay, value, and export gold and other precious minerals in Ghana. The institution is also committed to ethical mineral sourcing, efficient processing, and supporting the country’s agenda to increase domestic value addition within the mining sector.
