Cape Town High-density Airborne Geophysical Flying Seismicity recorded by the SANSN in Southern Africa during 2012
Majority of seismicity occurs in the mining regions (both opencast and underground) Status of the project:
Integration of the South African National Seismograph Network and Database with Mining Networks as per the recommendation in chapter 1 of the Presidential Mine Health and Safety Audit 2008 entire long-term project 1) South African National Seismograph Network (SANSN) has been extended into the KOSH region and data is sent in real time to the CGS, 2) The database has been established and populated by data from the extended SANSN. MoU’s with mining companies in place for exchange of data and integration into the database, 3) A dedicated group of seismologists is conducting research into induced seismicity, specifically mining seismology.
Seismicity recorded by the CGS cluster networks in three mining districts The sensitivity of Central Basin Area these networks is far 12 stations better than the national network (a greater number of events are recorded and lower magnitudes measured).
KOSH Far West Rand Area 25 stations 11 stations Centre of Research in Induced Seismicity (CRIS) Consist of: - Senior and Junior seismologists, - Electronic Technicians and - Seismological Analysts.
Will perform research on induced seismology in general, but will focus on mine seismology, such as:
- Integration of mining data with CGS data into one database, In addition, young - Velocity models and depth estimation scientists, electronics for the regions for better locations, technicians and - Provide advice on standards and seismological analysts will codes of practice within the mines, be trained in order to - Use the database to build up a record of how seismicity is affected after expand the CGS team and mining and advise on mine closure expertise into mining procedures. seismology

Project ST2012-1150 - A holistic approach towards best management practices of AMD impacts using a catchment approach strategy, South Africa
AMD “lake” in the Witbank coalfield
The Olifants River Catchment Area is severely impacted by historical and current gold, coal, Pt-Ni, and other mining activities. Un-rehabiliated tailings deposit in Sabie gold mine area discharging AMD into a nearby stream Project ST2012-1150 - A holistic approach towards best management practices of AMD impacts using a catchment approach strategy, South Africa
catchment-scale investigation provides a holistic understanding of mine pollution from source to path ways to receiving environment
19 such pollution areas have been delineated.
8 of the 19 pollution areas are within the Witbank coalfield confirming the severity of mining pollution in the coalfield.
The multi-disciplinary approach proved effective providing a multiple source of scientific information and integrating such multi- disciplinary scientific data.
The study provides a powerful management tool for the remediation and rehabilitation of the polluted areas which encompasses the source, the pathways and the receiving areas of pollution (source-pathways-recipient dynamics) - herein termed as “mine pollution influence areas”.
Pollution atlas of the Olifants River Catchment area generated on the basis of multidisciplinary pollution characterization – Project ST2012-1150. Project Objectives: Derelict and Ownerless Mines The objectives of the project are to: • Update, maintain and rank the database and to improve its integration into the licensing system of the DMR. • The database should facilitate the estimation of the contingent liability of the DMR with respect to derelict and ownerless mines. • Rehabilitation plans must be developed and bills of quantities on identified mine sites must be developed. • A field investigation and database ranking must be undertaken to identify priorities on an ongoing basis. • Dangerous openings must be closed where these pose an immediate threat to human safety. Distribution of Asbestos mines in south Africa
The Northern Cape Province has the largest number of D & O asbestos mines (127), Limpopo (77), Mpumalanga (28), KwaZulu-Natal (9), Gauteng (3) and North West (1). The field visit was conducted to all the 6 Provinces.

With permission: BGR 50 Project schedule
• The MTEF project “Exploration and Mining Investment Stimulation in Minerals and Energy Sectors” started in the budget year 2012/13 in Tugela region in Kwazulu Natal.
Project progress (Budget Year 2012/13)
From the Total budget of R30,000,000 allocated for the Tugela (KZN) project: • R15,815258 has been or will be used for airborne TEM + magnetics and radiometrics surveys. – Magnetics and Radioimetric Surveys have been completed – Airborne TEM is completed. • R6,184,742 was utilised to gathered all the available historical geological data in the follwing geological terrains: Tugela, Namaqualand, Barberton Greenstone Belt and Sabi-Pilgrim’s Rest Goldfield. – This process was completed • R8,000,000 is to be used for airborne soil sampling in Tugela from March - September 2013. • Around 40% of the proposed sampling has been completed.
Expected interim deliverables – Tugela (KZN) project The deliverables of this project include:
• An integrated report accompanied by mineral prospectivity map, to be completed by March 2014 – Geophysical report – to be completed by June 2013 – Geochemical report –to be completed February 2014.
Future activities and schedule timelines – Namaqualand Project, Northern Cape Budget Year 2013/14
• Airborne magnetics and Radiometric and geochemical surveys will be conducted in the Namaqualand region. • The total budget is R55,000,000. – About R35,000,000 has been estimated to be used in Airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys, and – R20,000,000 will be used for geochemical surveys. International Front: Key Projects

Build up to 35th IGC
• 19th IGC held in Algiers in 1952 – highlight was the Mediterranean field cruise • A number of bids were made to hold a 2nd IGC in Africa and finally won by South Africa in 2008 in Oslo with the 35th IGC to be held in Cape Town in 2016 • South Africa was chosen both for its geological superlatives and as a stepping stone for the African continent • Bid made it clear that the IGC should be a Pan African event • Co-operation with African Surveys and other groups is therefore essential Organization
• Local organizing committee formed (LOC) with subcommittees responsible for various functions • Well defined branding “Dances with Earth” established • Section 21 company formed • PCO appointed • Website established – www.35igc.org • First official function – receiving the “World Cup” of Geology at 34th IGC in Brisbane • Full support by Government - the DMR Minister Susan Shabangu addressed the delegates at the IGC34 Closing Function 35th IGC stand at 34th IGC Expo Human Capital Human Resources
• Strategy anchored on the following pillars: – Continue to transform the organisation – Retaining skilled scientists – Fast tracking the training of young scientists especially previously disadvantaged – Training Programmes are: • Bursaries (Part-time and fulltime) • Internship Programme (In collaboration with MQA) • Mentorship Programme • Geological Mapping Field School Comparative Figures Staff Profile by Race
