Explanation:

1. For "This occurs when gold is mined with a toxic metal", mercury is a toxic metal often used in gold mining, leading to mercury poisoning.
2. "These minerals are mined and exchanged for weapons" matches conflict minerals, as conflict minerals are mined in conflict zones and used to fund armed groups (often exchanged for weapons).
3. "Mining companies do not always respect people's basic freedoms" relates to human rights abuses, as ignoring basic freedoms is a human rights violation.
4. "Children are employed in mines" directly corresponds to child labor, as it involves children working in mining.
