GDL refiners are dedicated to progressive improvements in their supply chains, enhancing miners\u2019 lives and incomes while mitigating environmental impacts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSupplying to the GDL offers Ghanaian producers access to formal global markets but requires a commitment to legal and responsible mining practices.
