Mali’s new mining code, signed into law by military ruler Assimi Goita on August 28, grants the state a 10% stake in new mining projects with an option to increase this to 30% within the first two years of commercial operations. The code also allows Malian private investors to take up to 5% equity and removes tax exemptions on fuel and equipment, previously costing the government around 60 billion CFA francs ($101mn) annually.
