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 21 August 2026 Niger's Council of Ministers, under the presidency of General Abdourahamane Tiani, awarded two large-scale uranium exploitation permits. The In Azaoua perimeter (Arlit Commune, Agadez Region) — the ground previously worked by the Orano-majority Société des Mines de l'Aïr (SOMAÏR), nationalised June 2025 — was granted to TSUMCO SA (Teloua Safeguarding Uranium Mining Company), the wholly state-owned successor operator created in May 2026. The Madaouela I permit (Arlit Urban Commune), previously held by Canada's GoviEx Uranium before reverting to the public domain on 31 July 2024, was re-attributed to Madaouela Mining Company (MAMICO), now 60%-held by Australia's Atomic Eagle (GoviEx's restructured successor) and 40% by the Nigerien State — up from a prior minority state stake. MAMICO paid a $10 million redevance forfaitaire to the state and committed to roughly 1,000 local jobs and local-content procurement.
The US Department of Energy announced $2.7 billion in task-order funding over ten years to rebuild domestic uranium enrichment capacity: $900 million each to American Centrifuge Operating and General Matter to develop high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) enrichment capacity, $900 million to Orano Federal Services to expand low-enriched uranium (LEU) enrichment capacity, and $28 million to Global Laser Enrichment for next-generation enrichment technology. DOE frames the awards as reducing US reliance on foreign — chiefly Russian — enriched uranium supply and securing fuel for the country's 94 commercial reactors and future advanced-reactor deployment, with funds distributed under a milestone-based accountability framework.
