Structured register of government actions in the geoeconomic space — export controls, tariffs, sanctions, FDI screening, subsidies, industrial-policy laws — cross-referenced into the country, minerals, and ETF surface. Charter: docs/IPTM_CHARTER.md.
Severity 1-5 is the qualitative impact rating (1=minor, 5=structural). The bilateral-trade-grounded quant scorer is the next IPTM milestone. RBI (Register Breadth Index) is a complementary structural-breadth indicator from scripts/py/iptm/breadth.py; divergence between RBI and severity is itself informative (high-sev / low-RBI = strategic chokepoint; low-sev / high-RBI = broad but shallow). Every action has at least one primary source URL. Verify-or-don't-file. See also themes, timeline, graph, sankey, map, country exposure, sector exposure, material exposure (+ graph), weekly briefs, portfolio scan, escalation monitor, trans-shipment hubs. Internal triage tools (RSS-poller candidate feed, source-feed health) live under /admin/candidates + /admin/sources. Subscribe via Atom feed (accepts ?country=CN, ?material=lithium, ?issuer=BIS, ?type=export_control, ?etf=SOXX, ?company=NVDA, ?minSeverity=4, ?year=2026, ?q=…) or pull /api/iptm/actions.
On 4 March 2026, the Council of Ministers of Côte d'Ivoire, chaired by President Alassane Ouattara, adopted two presidential decrees granting 4-year lithium exploration permits. Stargate Atlantis Minerals SARL received rights covering the departments of Dianra, Kani, and Mankono in the north-west Woroba region; Ivoire Lithium Resources SARL (ILR SARL) received rights covering M'Batto, Agboville, and Adzopé in the south-east Lagunes region. The decrees operationalise Article 8 of the 2014 Mining Code and mark the first lithium-specific mineral-rights instruments in Côte d'Ivoire's IPTM register, targeting Birimian greenstone spodumene-bearing pegmatite belts. Côte d'Ivoire ranked Africa's top mining exploration jurisdiction in 2025 with USD 186M in exploration investment; these are the first operational output of the lithium exploration pipeline endorsed by the PIRME integrated minerals strategy adopted in December 2025.
The Council of Ministers of Côte d'Ivoire, chaired by President Alassane Ouattara, adopted two presidential decrees on 4 February 2026 granting industrial gold exploitation permits to AMPELLA MINING CÔTE D'IVOIRE SARL. The first is a 19-year permit for the Assafou-Didibango project (Endeavour Mining) covering an investment of CFA 451.31 billion (~USD 750M), with average annual production of 7.99 tonnes and total production of 120 tonnes; the second is a 14-year permit for the Doropo project (Resolute Mining, ASX: RSG) in north-eastern Côte d'Ivoire, producing 6.43 tonnes per year and 59 tonnes in total. Combined investment across both projects exceeds CFA 730 billion (~USD 1.25 billion), and both permits clear the final regulatory hurdle for construction to proceed.
Loi n° 2024-1109 du 18 décembre 2024 portant Budget de l'État pour l'année 2025 (and its annexe fiscale, JO n° 21 of 26 December 2024, entered into force 10 January 2025) raises Côte d'Ivoire's gold ad valorem royalty (taxe ad valorem sur l'or) by two percentage points across all five price tiers — from 3% to 5% at gold ≤ USD 1,000/oz up to 6% to 8% at gold > USD 2,000/oz. The increase applies to all gold producers operating under the Code Minier régime and is collected on the value of gold extracted at the applicable USD-per-ounce reference price. First IPTM entry for Côte d'Ivoire; sits alongside the wider West/Central African mining-fiscal-tightening cycle (Mali 2024 implementing decree, Burkina Faso 2024 ALT mining code, Madagascar 2023 mining code refonte) and reflects a Ouattara-government posture of capturing more of the gold-price super-cycle for the state budget.
Loi n° 2022-408, promulgated by President Alassane Ouattara on 13 June 2022 and published in the Journal Officiel de la République de Côte d'Ivoire (JORCI) on 19 September 2022, is the foundational local-content statute governing the entire petroleum and gas value chain in Côte d'Ivoire. The law mandates employment priority for Ivorian nationals, preference for Ivorian-registered enterprises in goods-and-services procurement, expatriate-substitution timelines, and technology-transfer obligations on all concessionnaires, co-contractors, and sub-contractors operating in upstream and midstream petroleum and gas activities. Implementing Décret n° 2023-441 du 24 mai 2023 created the Comité de Suivi du Contenu Local under the Ministre du Pétrole and the Plateforme du Contenu Local digital monitoring system under the Direction Générale des Hydrocarbures (DGH), operationalising annual reporting and three-year forecasting plan requirements for operators.
Loi n° 2014-138, adopted by the Assemblée nationale and promulgated by President Alassane Ouattara on 24 March 2014, is the foundational mining-rights statute governing all mineral prospecting, research, and exploitation in Côte d'Ivoire. Its 197 articles across 16 titles repeal the prior Loi n° 95-553 (1995 Code Minier) and establish the modern permit regime, a 10% state free-carry in all industrial mining projects via SODEMI, and the royalty + ad valorem fiscal architecture that underpins every subsequent mining-convention and fiscal-law amendment. As West Africa's second-largest gold producer (approx. 45 t/yr) with growing bauxite and manganese exploration, CI's mining-code architecture is a material determinant of supply-chain access for Western and Chinese industrial consumers of these commodities.
