Three Rwandan Miners #86616956
Description
The miners were photographed at the bottom of a mine shaft. They are mining precious metals - tungsten and tantalum - that are widely used in the electronics industries and which are also known as `conflict minerals.` This mine is in accord with international standards, but only a few miles to the west, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, such mining is considered by many to contribute to the region`s instability.
