加纳 John Dramani Mahama 总统宣布了一系列政策措施，旨在减少加纳长期以来对未加工矿物出口的依赖，并强调发展国内精炼、电池生产和增值产业的必要性。

在 2025 年 6 月初于首都阿克拉举行的全球矿业峰会上，Mahama 总统指出，加纳目前的矿产开采方式对外国经济的帮助远大于对本国公民的益处。他提到，矿物以原料形式出口后，又以成品形式高价进口回国。

"我们必须从开采转向转型。" Mahama 先生说："精炼我们的黄金、生产珠宝、将锂转化为电池组件、将铝土矿加工成氧化铝和铝，这是实现经济韧性和多元化的途径。"

加纳仍是非洲领先的黄金生产国，并拥有商业上可行的锂、铁矿石和铝土矿储量。尽管资源丰富，Mahama 总统指出这些资源并未为大多数加纳人带来广泛的经济改善。

他将此问题归因于多年来该行业的外部主导和本地工业发展有限。Mahama 总统解释说，政府政策现在寻求将矿业与制造业、能源和物流更紧密地联系起来的机会，并希望得到研究机构和技能培训机构的支持。

Mahama 总统还透露了通过证券交易所和其他国内投资平台等途径增加加纳人在矿业价值链中所有权的计划。

谈到黄金时，Mahama 总统提到了加纳黄金委员会的初步成果，称其迄今已产生 27 亿美元的出口收入。他补充说，该委员会与贵重金属营销公司（PMMC）的合作有望加强这些收益。

将引入新的追踪系统，以验证所有出口黄金是否符合环境和道德标准。他还表示，委员会将与私营公司合作，恢复 10,000 公顷受采矿影响的土地。

关于锂和其他用于清洁能源技术的矿物，Mahama 总统表示加纳将出台明确的政策和法律措施，以吸引长期投资者，鼓励技术转让并支持本地参与新兴产业。据他称，这些努力旨在使加纳成为电池生产和相关产业的区域中心。

鉴于非洲大陆自由贸易区（AfCFTA）将总部设置在加纳首都阿克拉，Mahama 总统还敦促拥有矿产资源的非洲国家加强合作，以增加整个非洲大陆的收益。

"我们欢迎与几内亚在铝土矿、与刚果民主共和国在钴、与南非在铂金方面合作，我们欢迎任何愿意的国家进行互利合作。" 他说。

2025 年峰会正式名称为 "矿业在行动"，汇集了非洲国家元首、传统统治者、行业领袖和全球合作伙伴，讨论非洲大陆的矿产资源如何支持可持续增长。该活动在 Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II 酋长的赞助下举行。

President Mahama on How GoldBod will Push for Gold Refineries in Ghana

President John Dramani Mahama has announced a series of policy measures aimed at reducing Ghana’s longstanding reliance on the export of unprocessed minerals, stressing the need to develop domestic refining, battery production, and value-added industries.

Speaking at the Global Mining Summit in Accra on Monday [June 2, 2025], the President Mahama argued that Ghana’s current approach to mineral extraction benefits foreign economies far more than it helps its citizens.

He noted that minerals are exported in raw form and later imported as finished goods at a much higher cost.

“We must move beyond extraction to transformation,” Mr Mahama said. “Refining our gold, producing jewellery, converting lithium into battery components, and processing bauxite into alumina and aluminium is the path to a resilient and diversified economy.”

Ghana remains Africa’s leading gold producer and holds commercially viable deposits of lithium, iron ore and bauxite.

Despite this wealth, Mr Mahama pointed out that these resources have not resulted in broad-based economic improvements for most Ghanaians.

He attributed the issue to years of external dominance in the sector and limited local industrial development.

He explained that government policy now seeks to link the mining sector more closely with manufacturing, energy and logistics, backed by research institutions and skills training.

He also disclosed plans to increase Ghanaian ownership in the mining value chain through avenues such as the stock exchange and other domestic investment platforms.

Touching on gold, Mr Mahama pointed to early results from the Ghana Gold Board, which he said has generated $2.7 billion in export earnings so far. He added that the Board’s collaboration with the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC) is expected to strengthen these gains.

A new track-and-trace system is set to be introduced to verify that all exported gold meets both environmental and ethical standards.

He also said the Board would work with private companies to rehabilitate 10,000 hectares of land affected by mining.

On lithium and other minerals used in clean energy technologies, Mr Mahama said Ghana will introduce clear policies and legal measures to attract long-term investors, encourage technology transfer and support local participation in emerging industries.

According to him, these efforts are aimed at making Ghana a regional centre for battery production and related industries.

With the headquarters of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) located in Accra, the President also urged stronger cooperation among African countries with mineral resources to increase benefits across the continent.

“We welcome partnerships with Guinea on bauxite, the DRC on cobalt, South Africa on platinum, and any willing nation for mutual beneficiation,” he said.

The 2025 summit, officially known as Mining in Motion, brought together African heads of state, traditional rulers, industry leaders and global partners to discuss how the continent’s mineral wealth can support sustainable growth. The event was held under the patronage of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
