A conflict mineral is one mined in a war zone and sold to pay for fighting. Gold is considered a conflict mineral because:
1) Armed groups buy or sell gold to get money to fund wars and violence.
2) Gold mining in those areas often causes human rights abuses (forced or child labor), danger to workers, and damage to local communities and the environment.
