Anvil Mining Plans to Restart Mining at Dikulushi in Congo
By Matt Chambers Oct. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Anvil Mining Ltd. said it plans to restart production tomorrow at its Dikulushi copper and silver mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo after shutting it down because of conflict in a nearby village. Men armed with guns seized the village of Kilwa, 54 kilometers south of Dikulushi, Reuters reported Oct. 14, citing a spokesman for Congo's United Nations mission. Anvil, which has offices in Toronto and Perth, shut the mine and evacuated some workers because of the conflict. ``Anvil began remobilizing personnel back to the mine yesterday via the airstrip at Kilwa and anticipates operations will resume by tomorrow,'' the company said in a statement to the Australian Stock Exchange.
