7. What Are “Conflict Minerals”?
Conflict Minerals are currently defined to include:
• Columbite-tantalite (Coltan) > Tantalum
– First conflict mineral – spiked by growth in cell phone
industry
– DRC currently provides 8-20% of global production
• Cassiterite > Tin
– DRC is worlds 6th largest producer – 3-4% of global
production
– Primary funding source of rebel groups
• Wolframite > Tungsten
– DRC is worlds 5th largest producer – 2-4% of global
production
• Gold > Gold
– DRC provides 1% of global production, second most
significant funding source of rebel groups.

9. Conflict Minerals and the DRC
Exploitation and trade of conflict Tin
minerals originating in the
Democratic Republic of the
Congo (DRC) is helping to
finance conflict with extreme
levels of violence in the eastern
DRC.
This conflict has claimed more
than 5.6 million lives since it
began in the late 1990s.
Mining activity is crucial to the
DRC economy. Unfortunately,
many mines in the east are
controlled by militant groups
causing serious social and
environmental issues in the
region.

– If any of their products are not DRC conflict free
• The report must be audited by an independent private auditor and
posted on the company external website
• Proposed rule issued in December 2010
