The Ghana National Association of Small Scale Miners (GNASSM) is calling on politicians to safeguard the progress made in the artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) gold sector. In a statement released in Accra on Thursday, January 1, 2026, and signed by its General Secretary, Godwin Nickleson Armah, the association emphasised that despite the losses incurred by the Bank of Ghana in Artisanal Small Scale Mining (ASM) gold trading in 2024 and 2025, the gains made so far are enormous and impactful on the Ghanaian economy.
