Côte d'Ivoire's new mining code is an example for others to follow (with only minor changes). It provides a level of stability and security of tenure that, in the absence of political uncertainty, should lead to enhanced investment. Its drafting reflects a sophisticated understanding of the mining industry without tangential influences of stakeholders concerned about mining activities and lacking in such knowledge; nevertheless, the potential for abuse has not been removed from the code in narrow areas of application.
