Akwasi Awuah proposes African Gold Producers Association to maximise value from gold

According to him, a continental association could help African countries pursue a coordinated strategy to ensure that more value from the continent’s gold is retained within Africa.

Former Chief Executive Officer of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC), now Ghana GoldBod, Nana Akwasi Awuah, has called for the formation of an African Gold Producers Association (AGPA) to bring gold-producing countries together to maximise the benefits of the continent’s gold resources.

He said bringing the continent’s gold refineries together could provide a platform for cooperation and eventually pave the way for a broader association of gold-producing countries.
