Exploration

DRC

The DRC remains Anvil’s key focus for exploration with the discovery and definition of additional resources in the famous central African Copperbelt.

Exploration Priorities

In the DRC, the 2008 exploration program was focussed mainly on the Kinsevere copper-cobalt project with over 41,000 metres drilled in 2008 (large portion was infill drilling) in order to evaluate the full extent of oxide copper resource potential at Tshifufiamashi and Kinsevere Hill and investigate the potential of the sulphide copper deposit at depth at Kinsevere.

 Kolwezi
Discover new deposits of open-pittable hard rock oxide copper and cobalt, to provide additional resources for the proposed future SX-EW plant.

Dikulushi
Discover new deposits of open-pittable sulphide copper resources, within trucking distance of the Dikulushi mine, to maximize utilization of the Dikulushi plant.

Other exploration projects in the DRC include: Likasi, Kalemie, and Lungeshi.
