Rand Refinery partners with Ghana’s Gold Coast Refinery (GCR) to support the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) to locally refine artisanal and small-scale (ASM) gold and elevate responsible sourcing standards in West Africa.

Germiston, 20 January 2026 – Rand Refinery, Africa’s leading London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) Good Delivery accredited refiner, has entered into a strategic partnership with GCR earlier this month. The agreement between Rand Refinery and GCR will see Rand Refinery provide technical, operational and commercial (TOC) supervision to GCR, enabling the local refining of ASM material and the achievement of internationally recognised assaying and refining standards.

GCR, established in 2016, is a gold refinery based in Accra, Ghana, with a refining capacity in excess of 80 tons per annum and the potential to grow in the future.

GCR has signed an agreement with the Ghana GoldBod to refine up to 1,000 kilograms of ASM gold doré per week, meeting responsibly mined and sourcing standards. The government-owned Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) is the sole entity authorised to buy, sell and export gold from small-scale miners in
Ghana.
