R.D. Ackahs & Partners Ltd. is incorporated and registered under the company’s code 1963 Act (179). Since 2007 the company is authorised by the Government of Republic of Ghana to buy gold bullion from the local small and medium sized mining companies for export.

We focus on the strengths of the firm’s low overheads, professional environment, long customary and family ties with the small-scale mining community and strong reputation established for over a century.

R.D. Ackahs & Partners Limited has grown steadily over the years, exporting the bulk gold to a Swiss Refinery, Metalor Technologies SA and trading the refined gold on the Swiss Bullion market. The firm exported more than 2.5 metric tons of raw gold to Switzerland, generating approximately 125 million US dollars revenue in 2011. In 2012 we sold 3.7 metric tons of gold and generated USD 185 million.
