Introduction to Conflict Minerals

Conflict minerals, also known as 3TG: Tungsten, Tin, Tantalum, and Gold, later added Cobalt, refer to minerals mined under conditions of armed conflict and human rights abuses. Specifically, this refers to resources mined from areas controlled by the Congolese government army and numerous armed rebel groups such as the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) and the National Congress for the People's Defence (CNDP) in the eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
