Conflict Minerals in Steelscape Products

The SEC requires certain companies to make disclosures regarding whether “conflict minerals” necessary to the functionality or production of the product manufactured or contracted to manufacture originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo or the adjoining countries of Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. The “conflict minerals” include: (i) columbite-tantalite, also known as coltan (the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted); cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted); gold; wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted); or their derivatives; or ii) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country specified above.

Steelscape confirms that our suppliers have affirmatively stated to us that products used to manufacture TruZinc® and ZINCALUME® either: (i) does not contain “conflict minerals” that are necessary to its production or functionality or (ii) any “conflict minerals” necessary to the production or functionality of its products are not sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country specified above. As of the date of this letter, Steelscape does not use “conflict minerals” that are necessary to the functionality or production of TruZinc® and ZINCALUME®. Before purchasing any product other than specified in this letter, please contact us immediately to determine its conflict minerals status.

Upon request, Steelscape can provide a copy of our most current Conflict Mineral Reporting Declaration. To obtain a copy of this declaration, or for any other questions, please contact your Steelscape sales representative, or Steelscape directly at (888) 553-5521 or at productinfo@steelscape.com.
