Coltan is a rare and valuable compound found in a small region in eastern Congo. Coltan can be separated into the elements Tantalite and Columbite. Tantalite is used in portable electronic devices such as laptops, cell phones and MP3 players to control the flow of electricity in the circuits. 80% of the world’s reserves of this ore are located in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The mining of coltan has caused instability in the Republic of Congo. Many miners lives are put in danger every day. Also the mountain gorilla population has gone down severly in the past decade. In all tha national parks the mountain gorilla popualtion has gone down 90% to 3000.
The mining conditions are harsh, and the miners are often in danger. There are few safety regulations and the mining technology is third-world, similar to such used in the 1800s. There is some evidence that exposure to compound containing tantalum can cause tumors, and the dust from the ore can cause fire or explode. Armed theft and smuggling threatens the lives of miners, and illegal mining can contribute to clear-cutting and environmental damage. Overall, the conditions of mining coltan are far from safe, and the cost of the metal further contributes to unsafe conditions.

dominant culture.
The Canadian government has passed similar laws related to media in Canada. Radio stations, television channels, and other types of media now have certain quotas relating to Canadian entertainment that they now must meet up to. Canadian radio stations must play at least 30% music from Canadian artists and Canadian TV channels must play 60% or more of Canadian shows. This means more bands or artists like Avril Lavigne, Shania Twain, or Hedley, will be listened to more often by the people of their country. The CRTC regulates, creates, or improves these laws in Canadian media.

These laws don't only protect the artists and performers, but also protect the viewers or listeners of Canada from getting overwhelmed with a more dominant cultures media, like the United States. By hearing and watching more artists/performers from Canadian culture, viewers will feel a stronger sense of identity with their culture.
