It's high melting temperature also helps when piercing armor with ammunition]]> 2017-02-09 17:13:05 UTC https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/152846263 angelinaputman https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/152973303 Wolframite is found all over the world and mined highly in Canada, Portugal, Russia, Australia, Thailand, South Korea, Rwanda, Bolivia, United States, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and in DRC, Wolframite is mined using Child Labor.]]> 2017-02-10 05:24:52 UTC https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/152973303 angelinaputman https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154476065 2017-02-16 21:58:22 UTC https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154476065 angelinaputman https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154476894 2017-02-16 22:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154476894 angelinaputman https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154624665 2017-02-17 16:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154624665 angelinaputman https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154625576 Researchers say that we will be running out of tungsten (wolframite) sooner than later. It has not changed over the years but it is becoming harder and harder to find and mine. The biggest producer of wolframite is the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The DRC however, uses exploited child labor. If you would like to see a difference you can sign a petition to stop child labor]]> 2017-02-17 16:13:48 UTC https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154625576 angelinaputman https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154628324 Wolframite isn't causing a natural defect to the world when being mined, so aside from being child mined, all we can do to stop the child labor. A very strong solution is to sign the petition to stop child labor in all parts of the world by making it illegal and being cautious, but especially in the DRC.]]> 2017-02-17 16:22:22 UTC https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154628324 angelinaputman https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154630151 Wolframite is found in quartz veins and pegmatites, and minerals that are often found with wolframite include; cassiterite, scheelite, bismuth, quartz, pyrite, galena, sphalerite, and arsenopyrite. All of these minerals are dug down deep in a cave, where children risk their lives each and everyday to get a mineral we don't need. ]]> 2017-02-17 16:28:07 UTC https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154630151 angelinaputman https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154632947 2017-02-17 16:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154632947 angelinaputman https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154633068 Wolframite is being mined everyday by children who risk their lives for a material that we don't call a necessity. Children- every day- die to find these materials, and if they're not dead, they look for wolframite in groups together so the kids, as young as 7 years of age, witness other kids, friends of theirs, possibly even siblings, watch their friends fall, starve, freeze, or heat to death.]]> 2017-02-17 16:37:51 UTC https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154633068 angelinaputman https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154633932 2017-02-17 16:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/angelinaputman/n1m6powzsfha/wish/154633932
