DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS UNDER SECTION 1502(d)(3)(C) OF THE DODD-FRANK ACT

WORLD-WIDE CONFLICT MINERAL PROCESSING FACILITIES As required by section 1502(d)(3)(C) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the Department of Commerce (Commerce) has compiled the attached list of ”all known conflict mineral processing facilities worldwide.” The list includes all known processing facilities that process the minerals tin, tantalum, tungsten, or gold, but does not indicate whether a specific facility processes minerals that are used to finance conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country. We do not have the ability to distinguish such facilities. International Trade Administration (ITA) Methodology The Act defines “conflict minerals” to mean “columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives” or any other mineral determined by the Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining country. From a commercial standpoint, tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold are equivalent to the minerals set forth in the statute and are more commonly used terms in commerce, and therefore these are the terms used in the listing.

ITA reached out to a number of public and private sector stakeholders and collected conflict mineral processing facilities listings from the following organizations: 1) the U.S. Geological Survey1, 2) the U.S. Government Accountability Office2, 3) the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)3, 4) the London Bullion Market Association4, 5) the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the related Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI)5, 6) the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), and 7) the World Gold Council (WGC)6. ITA used this information to create a list of processing facilities, including smelters and refiners, by accumulating, comparing, contrasting, and reconciling the information from the seven sources of information.

ITA verified the existence of the facilities by utilizing a number of web-based information sources, including Lexis Diligence, Hoover’s, and Lexis-Nexis. However, no on-site verifications were performed. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Methodology

1 In response to our request for assistance, the National Minerals Information Center of the United Stated Geological Survey transmitted its compiled global listings of processors (smelters, refiners, chemical plants, etc) of gold, tantalum, tin, and tungsten ores and concentrate to the Commerce Department on April 24, 2014. 2 http://www.gao.gov/assets/660/655972.pdf (July 2013) 3 http://www.oecd.org/daf/inv/mne/3TsSmelterList.pdf (Last Updated in November 2012) 4 http://www.lbma.org.uk/the-good-delivery-list (Last Updated in January 2014) 5 http://www.conflictfreesourcing.org/conflict-free-smelter-refiner-lists/ (Updated Regularly - Commerce Department analyzed list from March 2014). 6 http:// www.dmcc.ae/DGD_GoldList.pdf (Updated December 2012)

ITA relied primarily on data supplied by the Department of the Interior’s U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The USGS is the only official U.S. Government source of information on conflict mineral reserves, production, and usage. Upon request by Commerce, USGS prepared a listing of tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold (3TG) mineral processing facilities. ITA used the USGS list as the master list, adding to and deleting from the list based on information obtained from other non-USG sources. Tantalum, tin and tungsten (3T) In developing its list of tantalum, tin and tungsten (3T) mineral processing facilities, USGS National Minerals Information Center specialists (commodity and country) sought to identify the critical processing step(s) or the point at which ores and/or concentrates are transformed into a downstream product. Facilities identified as exclusively processing scrap or other secondary materials were excluded from the list supplied by the USGS. The facilities included in the respective 3T lists are thought to be appropriate critical-step processing facilities, with no consideration given to the actual source of their primary feed materials. Gold The list of gold refiners was limited to those facilities that produce refined gold that is deliverable to various local or international exchanges. Gold ores and concentrates at both commercial-scale and artisanal mines are most often processed into intermediate semi-refined forms of gold at or near the mine site before being processed into deliverable form. Thus, the listed gold refineries may be one or several steps removed from the direct source of ores and concentrates, and may be using these intermediate gold products, such as gold doré or precipitates, as well as scrap as their feed materials. USGS specialists derived the information contained in these lists by analyzing historical records; monitoring periodic literature; reviewing company, country, and foreign government reports; reviewing commodity specific reports prepared by industry; and gathering information from conferences, field trips, and industry and Government contacts. Many of these facilities have been discussed or tabulated in the text and structure tables of the USGS’s Minerals Yearbooks, specifically in the country and commodity chapters, and in special papers. Other Resources The USGS compiled data were supplemented by facility tabulations prepared by companies and other organizations identified above, including the EICC7 and OECD. Where information from these sources was used, they have been identified as the source. Commerce made every effort to avoid duplicative listing of facilities reported under different names. In the case of gold, most of the refineries identified were listed as having been certified to deliver gold by one or more of the global gold exchanges, as indicated in the list. The tabulated facility lists prepared for ITA for each of the 3TG minerals were cross checked and reconciled by respective USGS country and commodity specialists. 7 In addition, the EICC has developed a third party verification audit process whereby it hires private auditors to identify smelters and refiners that have systems in place to assure sourcing of only conflict-free materials. EICC also provides guidance to auditors on how to conduct proper auditing and identify potential non-compliances.

Limitations and Challenges During Commerce’s research of global smelters, certain hurdles to creating a list of all known processing facilities became clear. Primarily, there are artisanal miners that process small amounts of materials and are known to be employed in eastern Congo. Because these producers of metals are “off the grid,” it is very difficult to trace exactly where these small amounts of materials are smelted. There is also evidence of guerilla smelting operations throughout Africa that create makeshift smelters which produce an intermediary product of tantalum, tungsten and tin, and then ship the product overseas to scrap yards and informal metal traders and exchanges. The materials are often transshipped to another country and then flaked or shaved prior to being sent to a smelter. Finally, we note that gold purchased through the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) accounts for 15-20 percent of all the gold used for commercial purposes. It is also recognized that the vast majority of the gold sold worldwide is comingled at the SGE. The SGE has not released, nor does it keep, records of where its gold is sourced. Therefore, any material that is purchased through the SGE is untraceable to a smelter, refiner, or processor of origin. Uniqueness The attached list of all known processing facilities is the only amalgamated catalog using the available resources of the United States Government. To the best of our knowledge, no other list of tantalum, tungsten, tin and gold smelters utilizes data from USGS. Furthermore, in the process of compiling this list, we observed that there is a considerable lack of publicly available information on processing facilities and that there are only a handful of smelter lists created by industry associations and private sector organizations, and publicly available in directories, publications and related resources. Having combined existing lists from GAO, OECD, LBMA, EICC and related GeSI, DMCC, and WGC, and then cross referenced these lists with the data provided by USGS, to our knowledge, the attached list is the most comprehensive list to date of all known processing facilities in the world.
