The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has urged all licensed small-scale miners and gold traders to request GoldBod receipts whenever they buy or sell gold from licensed buyers in Ghana.
In a press release sighted by GhanaWeb Business, GoldBod noted that the issuance of receipts by licensed aggregators, self-financed aggregators, Tier 1, and Tier 2 buyers is mandatory and a critical requirement for validating all gold transactions.
The Board announced that a nationwide enforcement of the mandatory use of GoldBod receipts has officially begun.
To ensure full compliance, GoldBod Taskforce and Field Inspectors have been deployed across the country.

GoldBod also called on all licensed buyers to make their receipt booklets available for inspection and to cooperate fully with the inspection teams.
“Licensed buyers are reminded that the non-issuance of GoldBod receipts constitutes a serious offence and may attract severe sanctions, including the suspension and/or revocation of their license,” part of the statement read.
GoldBod further advised traders to contact its License and Regulatory Unit to obtain their official GoldBod receipt booklets.
