About this listen
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).
For its first few years Anvil reported, analysed and planned using exclusively Excel spreadsheets. The amount of time required to compile these consolidations and budgets meant that there was no time to focus on what the business needed to do, but rather focusing on what the business was doing.
