Surplus/(loss) for the year
(22,113) - - 5,883 0,336
Reasons for the deficit• Loss of existing projects
– Eskom – Project was suspended
– Small-scale mining – Project was suspended
• Global Economic Downturn • No new geological related projects from the
World Bank and other funders
• Currency strengthening – It is always a challenge when working abroad

SELECTED GEOSCIENCE PROJECTS
Industrial Minerals• Updating industrial mineral maps and data
(limestone, granites, clay etc). These will be critical iro contribution to the creation of jobs. Focus areas are: – Eastern Cape ; Mpumalanga; Western Cape– Northern Cape; Kwazulu-Natal
• Rare Earth Metals– Collaborative research project with the
Japanese on rare earth metals• Identification of their location and
processing techniques
Rural Development: The Groundwater Potential of the Mzimvubu
to
Keiskamma
Catchment Area for Rural Development
Working on a 3 year
Water Research Commission project :

Groundwater Resource Potential – Targets identification

• Lack of adequate measures to manage and control the problems• Urgency of intervention before problems become more critical• Proximity to densely populated areas
AMD is reported in several mining areas:
Witwatersrand Gold FieldsMpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal
Coal FieldsNorthern Cape Copper Mines
AMD decanting to surface (Impacting on Cradle of Humankind). Urgent intervention required
Pumping stopped Oct. 2008. Water level now rising – currently about 480m below surface.Immediate intervention to ensure pumps installed by March 2012
Pumping stopped 31/01/2011. Water level now rising from around 700m below surface
When and where will the Central Basin decant?

Key Recommendations1. Prevent decanting by pumping2. Implement ingress control measures to reduce the rate of
flooding and the eventual decant/pumping volume and costs3. Water quality management
– Neutralisation and metal removal in the short-term– Removal of salt loads from river systems to be considered
in the medium- to long-term (direct use or desalination to potable quality)
4. Improve monitoring and undertake research to inform better decision making
5. Manage and monitor other AMD sources within the Witwatersrand e.g. diffuse sources such as slimes dams
6. Investigate the implementation of An Environmental Levy
Selected International Collaborations
• Organisation of African Geological Survey (OAGS)– Continued to participate and building the organisation. CGS is
representing South Africa as the Secretariat of the organisation• 2016 International Geological Congress
– South Africa will be hosting the congress and preparations continued as planned
• SADC– EU funded project - Compiling SADC hydrological map (Vital in
determining the water potential of the SADC region)• African- European Geoscience Observation System (AEGOS)
– CGS participated in AEGOS. Collaborative forum between European and African Geoscience institutions to promote collaboration in geoscience information and developing interoperability of geoscientific data
• One Geology– CGS participated in One Geology. Collaboration of the World’s Geoscience
Institutions to compile the Geological Map of the World. • Antarctica Expedition
– CGS collaborated with other researchers from India, Japan, Belgium on an expedition to Antarctica
Antarctica
A senior scientist from
the Council for
Geoscience was invited
to participate in the
51st Japanese
Antarctic Expedition to
the Sor
Rondane
Mountains of Central
Dronning
Maud Land,
Antarctica.
Energy Security• Nuclear Energy: CGS is
responsible for the geological investigation of the New Build Program.
• Geothermal Energy: Identification of potential geothermal energy sites in South Africa (WRC and DST supported project)
• South Africa Coal Resources: Eskom sponsored project to quantify the coal resources of South Africa
• Carbon Sequestration: Research to identify potential areas to store CO2
We have identified the potential sites
CO2 geological storage potential of South Africa
Human Capital
• Focus on developing young scientists
• In collaboration with MQA, the CGS provides internships to young scientists–Internship programs helps young scientists to gain valuable working experience and thus increased opportunities for employment

Critical Challenges
• Long-term financial sustainability of the CGS– The need to increase revenue (both state grant and commercial)
• Implementation of the amended Geoscience Act
• Continued training of previously disadvantaged scientists
• Retention of skilled senior scientists
• Ageing scientific infrastructure
• Playing a significant role in attracting investment in the minerals exploration/prospecting sector
Key Actions to Address the Challenges
• Continue to implement short-term measures which have turned around the financial situation of the organisation – these include costs cutting measures
• The board and management will investigate various options iro positioning and restructuring the organisation
• The organisation will engage the National Treasury and the DMR on future funding of the organisation, especially with regards to projects that will contribute towards job creation – through the MTEF process
