It should be noted that one of the named employees was not in the DRC at the time of the incident, nor in contact with anyone in the DRC at that time. The allegations made with respect to the three Anvil employees appear to be that they voluntarily omitted to withdraw the vehicles commandeered by the 62nd Military Brigade (FADRC) in the context of the counter offensive to recapture the town of Kilwa on October 15-18, 2004 and by doing so knowingly facilitated the commission of war crimes by Colonal Ilunga Ademar. The Company reiterates that the allegations against Anvil Mining Congo sarl and the above mentioned persons are unfounded and without merit.
