The Goldbod Technical Committee, led by the Acting Managing Director of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC), Sammy Gyamfi, engaged with Small-Scale Miners and Gold Dealers in the Eastern Region at Akyem Tafo in the Abuakwa North Constituency.
The meeting served as a platform to educate stakeholders on the policy rationale, objectives, functions, and regulations of the soon-to-be-established Goldbod, while also seeking their input into the Bill for its creation.
Addressing the participants, Mr. Gyamfi emphasised the importance of their contributions to the development of the Goldbod Bill.

"We believe that small-scale miners and gold dealers are crucial to the success of this initiative. Your insights and experiences will help shape a policy that benefits all stakeholders," he stated.

The engagement was well received by participants, who expressed their appreciation for the consultative approach taken by the Technical Committee.

"This initiative is a step in the right direction, and we are glad that our voices are being heard in the formulation of the Goldbod policy," one miner remarked. Many attendees pledged their support for establishing Goldbod, acknowledging the potential benefits for the mining sector.
The session concluded with assurances from the Technical Committee that further consultations would be held to refine the Bill.

"We are committed to making this a transparent and inclusive process," Mr. Gyamfi assured.
The committee reaffirmed its dedication to fostering collaboration between the government and small-scale miners to ensure the sustainability and efficiency of the Goldbod initiative.
