The honest answer, is no one knows!
The term 'conflict minerals' most likely refers to the six minerals defined in Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. These minerals are Tin, Tungsten, Tantalum, Niobium, Gold and Cobalt and have a multitude of uses in electronic and electrical products.
Tin can be used in solders and resistant coatings. Tungsten is often used in high temperature applications such as lamp filaments. Tantalum is used in building capacitors. Niobium alloys are used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI scanners etc). Gold can be used in plating and connectors. Finally cobalt in widely used in batteries and corrosion resistant plating. Put simply, 'conflict minerals' could be present in almost any product with electrical or electronic functions.
The aim of Section 1502 is to introduce a vigorous method of supply chain assessment to determine if the metals used in products have come from a mine associated with conflict. The idea is to introduce a similar system to the Kimberley Process which is used for tracing the origins of diamonds.
The exact rules to determine how the conflict mineral audit process will work are yet to be released by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Some companies are working to put in their own processes and checks in place, but at the moment it is almost impossible to declare any product as being totally 'conflict free'.
