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 Ivorian Council of Ministers adopted on 3 December 2025 the Politique Intégrée des Ressources Minérales et de l'Énergie (PIRME), a 15-year cross-sector extractive and energy industrial-policy strategy requiring CFA 38,000 billion (~USD 68bn) across three five-year phases to 2040. The policy targets doubling the mining-energy sector's GDP contribution from 7% (2022) to 14% by 2040, positioning it as the economy's second pillar after agriculture. Core mandates include a 50% local transformation target for gold, a 10 million-tonne iron-ore production target, a 500,000 bbl/day oil production target, 45% renewable energy integration, and a 38% reduction in energy-sector emissions — backed by national-content and value-addition requirements across mining, hydrocarbons, and electricity sub-sectors.
