Ghana delegation to the Kimberley Process in Dubai led by the Chief Executive Officer of Gold Board, Mr. Sammy Gyamfi has been programed to on behalf of the country, deliver address at the Dubai Precious Metals Conference (DPMC),2025.
While the global mining and extractives community gathers for the 13th edition of this prestigious Dubai Precious Metals Conference (DPMC), all eyes will be on Sammy Gyamfi as he speaks at the event’s Mining Workshop, where he is expected to share his expertise on the critical topic of “Sourcing Gold from Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mines.”
The DPMC 2025, set to take place at The Atlantis, Palm Jumeirah in Dubai from November 24-25, is a must-attend event for industry leaders, policymakers, financiers, and technologists.
This year’s conference, with the theme “The Future of Precious Metals: Tariffs, Tokenisation and Trade Flows,” promises to be a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the evolving dynamics within the precious metals sector.

Expertise in Small-Scale Gold Sourcing
Ghana’s position as a leading producer and exporter of gold, particularly from artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) operations, makes Gyamfi’s participation at the DPMC 2025 highly significant.
Mr. Sammy Gyamfi is expected to clear air on the widely speculated idea that Gold Board sources its gold from illegal miners. Ghanaians from home and beyond are keenly anticipating that his speech will put to bed all the allegation, whether the Board sources its gold from licenced miners or indeed, illegal miners.
The country has been at the forefront of efforts to formalize and regulate the ASM sector, recognizing its importance to local communities and the national economy.
Gyamfi’s expertise in navigating the complexities of small-scale gold sourcing will be a valuable contribution to the discussions at the Mining Workshop.
He will delve into the challenges and opportunities that come with responsibly integrating ASM operations into the global precious metals supply chain, a topic of growing importance as the industry grapples with issues of traceability, transparency, and sustainable development.
Ghana’s Position as a Minerals Hub
While Ghana continues to solidify its position as a hub for the mining and extractives industry, Gyamfi’s participation at the DPMC 2025 represents an important platform for the country to showcase its capabilities and expertise.
The conference’s diverse audience of industry leaders, policymakers, and influential stakeholders presents an opportunity for Ghana to forge strategic partnerships and explore new avenues for collaboration.
The artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sector is a significant contributor to Ghana’s overall gold production, providing livelihoods for countless individuals and communities. However, the sector has also been engulfed with challenges, including environmental degradation, health and safety concerns, and the presence of illegal activities.
Gyamfi’s address at the DPMC 2025 is expected to shed light on Ghana’s efforts to address these challenges and unlock the full potential of the ASGM sector. By sharing best practices, innovative approaches, and regulatory frameworks, he can inspire other nations to follow suit, ultimately strengthening the global precious metals industry’s commitment to sustainable and responsible sourcing.
Platform for Ghana’s Rising Influence
The Dubai Precious Metals Conference has long been recognized as a premier global platform for the mining and extractives industry. Ghana’s prominent participation, with Gyamfi as a keynote speaker, underscores the country’s growing influence and recognition within the sector.
The entire country is excited to see Ghana seize this opportunity to showcase its expertise, forge strategic partnerships, and contribute to the shaping of the future of the precious metals industry.
Gyamfi’s address at the DPMC 2025 will undoubtedly cement Ghana’s position as a leader in responsible and sustainable mineral governance, setting an example for others to follow.
