  9. Near Term Objectives • Finalise debt funding and recommence construction of Kinsevere Stage II SX-EW • Continue to shepherd the Company’s cash reserves • Complete Kinsevere resource and reserves update • Finalise Mining Review documentation for Mutoshi Kinsevere Central pit

  10. Kinsevere • 25 years - Lease Agreement with Gécamines • Amendment Agreement with Gécamines finalised January 2009 • Measured and Indicated Resources (Year-end 2008): • oxide: 798kt ASCu (Acid soluble) • sulphide: 139kttotalCu • average oxide grade: 3.6% Cu • Expected operating parameters: • annual production 60kt Cu cathode • cash cost of production: • C1 $0.88/lb • C3 $1.18/lb • mine life of 10+ years C1: Cash cost at mine gate + realisation costs + transportation and marketing C3: C1 cash cost + royalties + depreciation & amortization 10

  11. High Grade Best intersection (sulphide + oxide) 357m @ 4.6% Cu. 11

  12. Long Life Large deposit supporting at least 10 years of mine life. 12

  13. Kinsevere Stage II Outlook • Funding • funds spent or committed: US$180 million • estimated cost to complete: US$200 million • Timetable1 First drawdown Project completion Debt funding finalised Recommence on-site construction works Initial SX-EW Cu production Aug-Sep 09 Q2 2010 May 09 June 09 Q3 2010 1. Timetable contingent on securing financing in Q2‘09

  14. Construction Project status Plant and equipment on site • Complete 2.55 MW ball mill • Crusher and apron feeder • 50% of electro-winning cells • 50% of cathode plates and anodes • Tailings dam liner Plant and equipment in transit to site • Cathode stripping machine • 50% of cathode plates and anodes • Pin bed clarifier • All transformers and rectiformers

  16. Dikulushi • On Care & Maintenance since Dec 08 • postponement of the U/G development • uneconomical in present Cu price environment • Start-up conditional upon Cu market improvement • resource open at depth and to the east • drilling program at depth Dikulushi processing plant 16

  17. Mutoshi • Scope drilling program completed across Mutoshi tenement in 2008 • Significant Cu and Co mineralisation • Potential for large bulk oxide mining and processing operation • Engineering Cost Study completed on transition from existing HMS to SX-EW processing • Further metallurgical test work and infill drilling required Anvil tenements cover 29% of the Kolwezi Klippe Mutoshi tenement area: 105km2 17

  18. Social & Community Development Programs • Anvil committed to sharing the benefits with the local community and making a meaningful difference • Anvil leading the way amongst international mining companies in the DRC • US$18M invested in the DRC to date: • 9 Schools (3,740 students) • Refurbishing of the Kilwa Hospital and the Mwangeji Hospital; 2 medical clinics • 71 fresh water wells (in over 60 villages) • Over 100km of road refurbishment work • Support to at least 5,400 small-scale farmers New Lumekite School 18 Refurbished Kilwa Hospital

  19. Summary • Significant experience developing and operating projects in the DRC • Successful outcome from mining review achieved for Kinsevere & Dikulushi • Kinsevere Stage II SX-EW is now Anvil’s flagship project • low cost, long life, 60ktpa production • material free cash flow starting mid 2010 • $180M spent so far; debt funding is well advanced • Well placed to weather the current downturn by preserving cash through the temporary closure of unprofitable operations • Significant upside potential with large sulphide resources at Kinsevere and the future development of the Mutoshi project 19
