At the moment, there isn't any way of knowing if your phone contains conflict minerals as no official audit process was in place when it was manufactured. No official processes have been released by the US Securities and Exchange Commission SEC as yet.
One of the major problems facing authorities in developing a method of tracing the origins of minerals is metal smelters. Often mineral ore is mined in small amounts which need melting together to make enough to sell. This is where the problem of tracability arises as metals of differing origins, i.e some from 'conflict free' and some 'conflict' mines will all be melted into one. At this point it is impossible to determine where the ore has come from.
