Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank Act of 2010 designates gold, tantalum, tin, and tungsten as “conflict minerals.” It requires companies listing on United States stock exchanges to check their supply chains for any of these minerals that originate in the Democratic Republic of Congo or neighboring countries. In conflict zones in these countries, warlords fight for control of mines as sources of revenue. The intent of Section 1502 is to stop fueling conflicts with this money. The law does not prohibit companies from obtaining metals from Congo, or even from conflict zones. However, the reporting requirement encourages them to obtain the resources from mines outside conflict zones.
