All the gold mines are owned by foreign companies who pretend to pay royalties to the government at a miserable 10% at most. The African governments must establish State Gold Mining Corp to take absolute control of our minerals and exploit them for our own development.

Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sustains millions worldwide; but its unregulated nature also fuels corruption, conflict, and organised crime. The World Gold Council’s ‘Silence is Golden’ report highlights recent findings that up to 80% of ASGM occurs in the shadow economy, leaving miners vulnerable to exploitation by criminal networks, armed groups, and corrupt officials. This is not purely a local or national issue for mineral-rich countries, but a geopolitical one: the Wagner Group has reportedly earned over $2.5 billion from ASGM since Feburary 2022.   Through the UK–Ghana Gold Programme, TAG International is helping Ghana tackle illicit mining and smuggling by incorporating more gold traders into formalised supply chains, enhancing enforcement capacity, and promoting compliance with mining and trading regulation.    Link to report in comments.
