Welcome to Ghana’s New Era of Gold Trade – Powered by Clinton Consultancy
With the passage of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) Bill, the country’s gold sector has entered a new phase of formalization, transparency, and compliance. For international investors seeking to buy and export gold legally from Ghana, GoldBod is now the sole legal gateway.
At Clinton Consultancy, we provide the legal and strategic expertise needed to help you navigate this new framework, minimize risks, and maximize opportunities.
What is GoldBod?
GoldBod is Ghana’s centralized authority for gold trading, especially within the small-scale mining sector. It has absorbed critical functions previously handled by the PMMC and Minerals Commission.
From now on, all legal gold purchases and exports from Ghana must go through GoldBod or its licensed aggregators.
Why GoldBod Matters to International Investors
- One-stop shop: Licensing, assaying, and export processes are consolidated in one authority.
- Standardized pricing & procedures: Predictable rules reduce confusion and transaction delays.
- Higher compliance & credibility: GoldBod exports are traceable and meet ESG and AML standards.
- Smuggling reduction: A regulated market creates a safer environment for serious investors.
- Confidence in quality: Every bar is officially assayed, sealed, and certified before export.
