加纳总统 John Dramani Mahama 先生宣布了矿业新政,强调国家矿产资源必须优先惠及本国公民。
2025 年 7 月 8 日周二,在首都阿克拉出席加纳黄金委员会特别工作组启动仪式时,总统表示以原料出口为主、国家收益微薄的旧模式必须终结,取而代之的将是价值留存、责任采矿和提升本土参与度的新机制。
"长期以来,我们放任自然资源尤其是黄金被攫取,民众却获益甚微。这种局面必须改变。" Mahama 总统表示。根据第 1140 号法案成立的加纳黄金委员会,将全面监管黄金贸易与出口事务。
总统指出该委员会将确保加纳人在黄金所有权、生产及精炼领域占据主导地位,重点推动小规模采矿正规化。"我们正为有实力的本土企业创造运营黄金矿场的空间,绝不能坐视他人攫取本属于加纳人民的资源财富。"
总统宣布将建立国家级溯源系统,实现每克黄金都可追溯至持有执照且环保达标的矿源。黄金委员会将为小规模采矿者提供地质测绘支持,并通过土地复垦与造林项目投入环境修复。
他强调,政府将严厉打击黄金非法交易与走私。新成立的特别工作组由国家安全机构等多部门人员组成,将配备实时监控系统、执法记录仪和 GPS 定位车辆展开执法。
"所有外勤行动需书面批准,举报线索追回黄金或现金者可获 10% 奖励。" 总统警告任何滥用职权的官员都将被开除、起诉并剥夺全部福利。
总统重申政府推动从出口未精炼金银锭转向精炼金块的计划,表示 ISO 认证的国家检测实验室预计 2026 年建成。
此外还将打造 "黄金村" 促进本土珠宝加工,提升附加值并减少进口依赖。"我们必须终止原材料出口。我们的女性不该专程去迪拜购买加纳黄金打造的珠宝,她们理应在家门口就能买到。"
总统还指出,这项最初见于国家民主大会党 2020 年竞选纲领、2024 年立法成型的黄金委员会计划,现已从政策层面进入实施阶段。他强调这是确保加纳人民获得长远利益的国家经济重构战略的重要组成部分。
Gold Must Benefit Ghanaians First – Mahama Outlines New Direction for Mining Sector
President John Dramani Mahama has announced a new direction for Ghana’s mining sector, stating that the country’s mineral wealth must primarily benefit its citizens.
Addressing the inauguration of the Ghana Gold Board Taskforce in Accra on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, the President said the long-standing model of raw extraction with limited returns to the state must give way to value retention, responsible mining, and greater Ghanaian participation.
“For too long, we have allowed our natural resources, especially gold, to be exploited with little benefit to our people. That must change,” Mr Mahama said.
The Ghana Gold Board, operationalised under Act 1140, has been mandated to regulate and manage the trade and export of gold.
Mr Mahama said the Board would help ensure that Ghanaians take the lead in owning, producing, and refining gold, with particular attention to formalising the small-scale mining sector.
“We are creating space for Ghanaian companies with the capacity to own and run productive gold mines. We will not sit back while others reap the gains from resources that belong to the people of Ghana,” he stated.
The President announced that a national traceability system would be introduced to track every gram of gold to its licensed and environmentally compliant source.
He said the Gold Board would support geological mapping for small-scale miners and invest in environmental recovery through land reclamation and afforestation projects.
Mr Mahama said the government would no longer tolerate illegal trading and smuggling of gold. He explained that the newly inaugurated taskforce, made up of personnel from national security and other state agencies, would be deployed to enforce the law with the aid of real-time oversight systems, body-worn cameras, and GPS-monitored vehicles.
“All field operations will require written approval, and whistleblowers whose information leads to the recovery of gold or cash will receive 10 per cent of the value,” he announced.
He warned that any officer found abusing their authority would be dismissed, prosecuted, and stripped of all benefits.
Mr Mahama also reiterated the government’s plan to shift from exporting unrefined doré bars to refined bullion. He said an ISO-certified national assay laboratory is expected to be ready by 2026.
In addition, he revealed plans to establish a “Gold Village” to support local manufacturing of jewellery and ornaments in a bid to promote value addition and reduce dependence on imports.
“We must stop exporting raw value. Our women should not have to go to Dubai to buy jewellery made from Ghana’s gold. They should be able to buy it right here,” he said.
Mr Mahama noted that the Ghana Gold Board initiative, first proposed in the NDC’s 2020 manifesto and formalised in 2024, has moved from policy to implementation.
He said it forms part of a broader national economic reset aimed at ensuring long-term benefits for the Ghanaian people.
