The National Concerned Association of Small-Scale Miners, Ghana (NCSSMAG) has thrown its weight behind the government’s initiative to establish a Gold Board, aimed at ensuring fair pricing for small-scale miners. This endorsement was made public through a press statement signed by NCSSMAG President Michael Kwadwo Peprah.
According to the association, the Gold Board will regulate the purchase of gold from small-scale miners, eliminating exploitation by foreign buyers and enhancing the economic viability of the sector. This move is expected to bring transparency and sustainability to the mining sector, aligning with NCSSMAG’s commitment to promoting fair practices.
The establishment of the Gold Board is a significant step towards addressing the long-standing challenges faced by small-scale miners in Ghana. By ensuring fair pricing, the government aims to improve the livelihoods of thousands of small-scale miners across the country.
With NCSSMAG’s endorsement, the Gold Board initiative has gained momentum, and stakeholders are eagerly awaiting its implementation. As the mining sector continues to play a vital role in Ghana’s economy, the Gold Board is poised to make a positive impact on the lives of small-scale miners and the sector as a whole.
