Conflict Minerals Policy Statement

All Metal Sales, Inc. (AMS) is committed to obtaining materials from businesses that share our values regarding human rights and ethical practices. To that end, AMS adheres to final conflict minerals rules contained within Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Conflict Minerals Rules”).

According to the Conflict Minerals Rules, publicly traded companies must report to the SEC the presence of conflict minerals in those products they manufacture or contract to manufacture when conflict minerals are necessary to the production or functionality of such products and those conflict minerals originate in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries.

“Conflict Minerals” are defined as tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (3TG) as well as the derivatives of cassiterite (a tin oxide mineral), columbite tantalite (aka COLTAN, a dull metallic ore when refined, becomes metallic Tantalum) and wolframite (an iron manganese tungstate mineral).

Although AMS is not a publicly traded company and does not source these minerals directly, AMS is committed to:

Performing comprehensive and documented due diligence of our supply chain to identify and avoid the use of materials that contain those conflict minerals whose production originates in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries.
Providing our EICC-GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template to all concerned.
Maintaining a Corporate Conflict Minerals Compliance Program, including but not limited to, routine staff education/instruction and management of the Program.
Utilizing only socially-responsible and ethical suppliers and manufacturers for the supply of materials to AMS.
All Metal Sales, Inc. is committed to using only those suppliers who support responsible in-region sourcing for Conflict Minerals.
