AFRICA legislation came out in 2010 , the informal tin mining industry in the DRC collapsed because they could not get decent prices , as the material was not certified as conflictfree . Despite this potential wealth , very little benefits of mineral extraction have reached local populations historically in the DRC , and especially from recent illegal artisanal production of conflict minerals . Therefore Alphamin has committed to a relatively strong community social investment of 4 percent of operating expenditures to be invested in local economic , health , education and social infrastructure through a community-driven not-for-profit .
“ Alphamin can offer absolutely clean , 100 percent certified conflict-free tin from this region , so our end users will be assured of a continued supply of tin , which is something a lot of people are getting worried about and that it will be easily verifiable as conflict free . We are developing a secure supply of fundamental material for the modern economy , our customers will have to expend almost zero money ensuring it ’ s conflict-free , and by purchasing the product , they are materially improving the lives and general wellbeing of the local people . That ’ s a high-value proposition for the tin industry in general and certainly for most end users .”
