Introduction: Ghana’s Gold Industry at a Turning Point

Ghana remains one of the world’s top gold producers, and 2025 marks a historic milestone with the launch of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod). This new framework unifies and regulates the country’s gold trading, refining, and export activities—bringing unprecedented transparency and trust to the sector.

At Sewia Mining & Refinery Ltd, we are proud to announce that we have fully repositioned our operations to align with GoldBod’s requirements. Our goal is simple: to continue delivering secure, compliant, and professional gold trading and export services to our global clients.

What is GoldBod and Why It Matters

GoldBod is Ghana’s new national body that:

• Licenses gold exporters and traders to ensure compliance.

• Implements traceability systems for responsible gold sourcing.

• Standardizes refining and value addition within Ghana.

• Strengthens market trust for international buyers and investors.

For investors, refiners, and gold buyers worldwide, this means doing business with Ghana is safer and more transparent than ever before.
