Conflict minerals refers to raw materials that are sourced from a particular part of the world where armed conflict (and civil rights abuse) is occurring, and where conflict participants benefit from the mining, production, and sale of those materials. Conflict minerals include columbite-tantalite, cassiterite, gold, and wolframite, primarily from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries. This course reviews the SEC's regulations concerning conflict-minerals. Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act requires US companies to identify and disclose where the minerals used in their products come from in an effort to build consumer awareness and reduce the amount of funds flowing to militias in identified regions.
