As the probably the longest holder of AVM, I have watched us go through hell and back. I still am looking forward to the blue sky that is Anvil ($60+). By 2010 we will be drowning in cash. While this current issue while not pleasant is no great disaster. Because it simply won't happen.

I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever, Anvil will keep all it's licenses. Thousands of jobs and millions $$$ to the economy. Our licenses have previously been reviewed and examined in microscopic detail by many organisations.

There may down the track be some minor changes, (for political reasons) but that would be all. Anvil has VERY strong political support both from the Governor of Katanga Provence and the Minister for Mines.

So when things like this happen, myself and others, just put in the buy orders. That's how I've managed to accumulate a reasonable stake.

Anvil is run by some of the best mining brains around. Some of the biggest mining companies in the world have approached Anvil and asked for advice on how to operate in the DRC. Why, because Anvil was in the DRC long before anyone else with very smart strategic and social plans. That's one of the things I am most pleased and proud of. How ethically, and socially Anvil operates in the DRC.

Patience persistence and perseverance paves the path to permanent prosperity. (This is actually on a plaque
on the big A) at Dikulushi. Probably adapt at this time.

I hope this helps.
