Geophysical Mapping
• Objective to :
– Improve the understanding and interpretation of deep seated rocks and soil covered areas
• SA Geophysical Mapping is in two parts:
– Airborne and Ground Surveys
• Some of the methods include:
– Magnetic surveys – Gravity surveys– Radiometric surveys– EM surveys

Recent Global Earthquakes
Earthquakes in China (6.9), Indonesia, Tsunami (9.0) and Mexico (7.2) in April 2010, Chile (8.0) and Japan (7.0) in February 2010, Haiti (7.0) in January 2010, Malawi (6.2) in December 2009 and Mozambique (7.0) in February 2006.
What about SA?Moderate seismicity in South Africa, but have had large earthquakes:
1809 in Cape Town, approximate magnitude between 6.0 and 6.5,1912 in southern Free State, approximate magnitude of 6.5, 1932 off Cape St Lucia, approximate magnitude between 6.0 and 6.5, and 1969 in Ceres-Tulbagh, magnitude 6.3.

Dolomite & Sinkholes
•Dolomites create a massive problem in Gauteng
•20% of Gauteng is underlain by dolomitic land

Mining and the EnvironmentBackground
• Large-scale mining has been taking place for over 100 year
• The country is facing various environmental challenges relating to mining – especially in the gold and coal mining areas
• CGS is providing advice to the Department of Mineral Resources
Three Key Projects• Water Ingress Project in the Gold Mines. Objectives:
Address polluted mine water Address Decanting Mine WaterReduce pumping cost
• Closure of Abandoned Ownerless Mining Holes.
Protect local communities
• Sustainable Development Project/ Closure Strategies
Generic Strategy for closure

Water levels are around 650m below the surface and are currently rising at ~30-60 cm - /day.
CGS scientists are actively seeking solutions which can be practically implemented within this timeframe

KEY CHALLENGES : INTERNAL• Economic Crisis
• The crisis has had a negative impact in terms of revenue and cash flow
• We are currently working on a turnaround strategy
• AGEING EQUIPMENT
• Some instruments are 30 years old – Need to be replaced at huge costs
• Recapitalization and maintenance is needed
