Where it stands

Ghana’s ban on unrefined gold doré exports is due to take effect on September 1, 2026, requiring export gold to be refined at Ghana Gold Board-approved refineries to at least 99.5 percent purity. Licensed aggregators must amend their contracts by August 31 to document local refining and meet assay requirements; the report does not say whether they have done so.
