Sydney - Tuesday - January 30: (RWE Australian Business News) -
Anvil Mining Ltd (ASX code: AVM) today reported fourth quarter
production of 10,523 tonnes of copper contained in concentrates and
569,655 ounces of silver.
This brought annual production to 42,574 tonnes of copper
contained in concentrates and 2.17 million ounces of silver contained in
concentrate.
President and CEO Mr Bill Turner commented, "Again, we delivered
a strong operational year and fourth quarter with a significant increase
in copper and silver production over the previous year.
"We more than doubled the copper production due to the start-up
of the Kulu mine and continuing improvements at the Dikulushi mine.
"In 2007, we are expecting to produce a total of 50,000 tonnes
of copper and 1.8 million ounces of silver from the Dikulushi, Kulu and
Kinsevere mines.
"The Kinsevere mine is expected to be commissioned during the
second quarter of 2007."
