Apple says it has told suppliers to stop buying minerals from Congo
Apple's statement came in response to a criminal complaint filed earlier in the day against the company in France and Belgium.
An organisation operating out of Dillon in Nevada has been formed as “Jewelers for Japan” to raise funds for the thousands of victims in Japan and it is asking jewelers and consumers to donate scrap gold and silver jewellery in lieu of cash.
The refiner Rio Grande in Albuquerque, New Mexico will refine the gold and silver scrap without a fee with all proceeds going directly to the American Red Cross.
