“Conflict Minerals" are metals such as gold (Au), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W) and tin (Sn) derived from minerals, being sourced from mines in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) or the adjoining countries (also known as conflict areas). These areas are typically controlled by non-government military groups and unlawful military fractions, and they both violate human rights and cause environmental issues when they extract these minerals.
