Coltan is a metallic ore; its name is derived from “columbite-tantalite”. In 2021, the Democratic republic of Congo’s coltan production amounted to an estimated 700 tonnes, making the Central African country the world’s largest coltan producer by far.
Coltan is indispensable to the manufacture of all modern technological devices. The mineral is refined to tantalum powder, which is used to make heat-resistant capacitors in laptops, mobile ‘phones, and other high-end electronic devices.
Activists, journalists and scholars have found a relationship between coltan exploitation and large-scale environmental degradation, human rights abuses, violence and death.
This can be seen in violation of environmental laws, child labour on mining sites, and complicity of mining companies in the abuses of populations at risk.
Coltan exploitation is destroying ecosystems and affecting wildlife habitats. Animals are being displaced from their natural habitat, leaving them vulnerable to poachers. The chemicals used in washing coltan are polluting water bodies and are harmful to people and animals.
