Ghana Bans Raw Gold Exports — $20 Billion Must Be Refined at Home
From September 1, artisanal dore must hit 99.5% purity at home before export — a bid to keep more of a record $20.2 billion gold boom inside Ghana.
Tulichojua kwanza
- GoldBod issued an August 24, 2026 notice requiring local refining for SFA dor1e9 from September 1, 2026.
- The ban covers only the SFA and artisanal dor1e9 channel, not large-scale mines.
- Export requires Ghana refining to 99.5% or higher, settled charges and assay clearance.
Ambacho hakikuwa wazi wakati huo
- No confirmed picture of approved refinery capacity, processing times, or first-month enforcement practice.
Tulichosema tungefuatilia
- Whether legal aggregator exports clear without backlog after September 1.
- Whether formal small-scale volumes stay formal once refining costs and delays apply.
