Some are precious metals, some are rare metals. With regard to metals, the problem is not just the exploitation of scarce natural resources, but also the fact that the minerals trade sometimes fuels armed conflict. An example of this is the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Some are precious metals, some are rare metals. With regard to metals, the problem is not just the exploitation of scarce natural resources, but also the fact that the minerals trade sometimes fuels armed conflict. An example of this is the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
