Acting CEO of GoldBod, Sammy Gyamfi addressing the media
Addressing the media on Wednesday, April 30, Mr. Gyamfi announced May 25, 2025 as the new date saying “We gave all PMMC license holders and holders of licenses issued by the minister responsible for mines an ultimatum which elapses today, 30th of April, to apply for new licenses under the Ghana Gold Board Act
But we know that most of you have not been able to apply at all. We can also see from the back end of our website and the license application portal that some of you have started the process of applying, but have not yet completed the application process.”
We’ve decided to extend the time frame for you to apply for a new Gold Board license, and that time frame is from today, the 30th of April, 2025, to the 21st of May, 2025. We believe that this is fair, and this time frame should be adequate for anybody who is serious and desirous of applying for a Gold Board license to do so.”
The new Ghana Gold Board Act renders all previous gold trading licences invalid. Mr Gyamfi urged Ghanaians who wish to remain in the trade to apply immediately via the official portal.
Let me indicate again that if you want a license, you must go to the website of the Gold Board, which is goldbod.gov.gh, and goldbod is G-O-L-D-B-O-D, not B-O-A-R-D. Make sure you read the requirements and terms and conditions of the license accepted before you begin the process,” he stated.
“If you make serious omissions or errors in the application, it will go against you in terms of the decision that the Gold Board will take on that application.”
Mr Gyamfi concluded with a notice to all applicants stating that the new deadline will not be extended anymore
Applicants are required to pay a fee, create an account, and fill out application forms accurately. He warned that errors or omissions may result in disqualification.
“If you make serious omissions or errors in the application, it will go against you in terms of the decision that the Gold Board will take on that application.”
Mr Gyamfi later gave a notice to all applicants stating that the new deadline will not be extended anymore.
