Anvil Mining, A Best Practice Resources Case Study

Anvil was the second foreign mining company to start producing in the DRC after the civil conflict. During the past 2 years they produced 16,000+ tonnes of copper in concentrate per year from its HMS plant in Kinsevere. This growth has had its challenges with Anvil having the deck stacked against them in their short existence - having to survive the political instability of a civil war in the DRC (1998-2001), a dramatic fall in the copper price (late 2008), a mining review (2007-2009) and the Global Financial Crisis (2009).
