The Ghana Gold Board has announced a final extension for gold dealers holding old licences to reapply under the new licensing regime.
The new deadline is now set for May 21, 2025, providing applicants an additional three weeks to complete the process.
At a press conference in Accra on Wednesday, April 30, Acting Chief Executive Officer Sammy Gyamfi emphasized that this extension would be the last opportunity for dealers to regularize their status.
“We are giving you another three weeks. We believe that this is fair and this timeframe should be enough for anybody who is serious about applying for a GoldBod licence,” he stated.
The reapplication affects gold dealers previously licensed by the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC) or the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, who must now re-register under the GoldBod framework.
Gyamfi reiterated the importance of following the outlined procedures and encouraged all stakeholders to visit the official GoldBod website to apply.
“In our press release on March 23, we explained the processes involved in securing a GoldBod Licence,” he said. “If you want a licence you must go onto the website of GoldBod to apply.”
This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to streamline and formalize Ghana’s gold trading sector under a unified regulatory framework.
