Annual Report 2010/11
Each of the entities reporting to the Minister of Mineral Resources submits its own annual report to the Minister, which are then tabled
together with the DMR’s annual report. The following is a summary of the highlights and performance of these entities for the year
under review:
i. Mine Health and Safety Council The Mine Health and Safety Council (MHSC) was established in terms of Section 42(1) of the Mine Health and Safety Act, No.
29 of 1996. The Council has the responsibility of advising the Minister of Mineral Resources on occupational health and safety
(OHS) issues at mines and promoting a culture of health and safety in the mining industry. It does so through the development
of OHS research programmes and the development and review of regulations, standards, occupational health and safety
policies and procedures; in order to minimise the occupational health and safety risk in the sector.
MHSC Research HighlightsIn the year under review, the focus of research programmes remained similar to that of the previous year, namely on the
achievement of the OHS Summit milestones. The MHSC, through the research identi cation process, determined that research
was needed in the following areas:
Rock related researchThe increase in seismicity in platinum mines was of concern and required a programme of work to truly understand this
risk. As such, a project was undertaken to evaluate what would be needed to mitigate the risk of seismicity. The work in this
project focuses on establishing some of the fundamentals of the problems, since the platinum sector is relatively “young”
when compared to gold mining operations.
Further to this, the MHSC commissioned a project through the Council for Geoscience to investigate the manner in which the
national seismic network could be integrated with the mines’ local-seismic networks.
SilicosisOn the issue of the eradication of silicosis, the MHSC continued funding the long term programme of work already
commissioned. The focus for the year was on the nalisation of the engineering controls that could be implemented by mines
to eradicate this major problem.
The MHSC also undertook to determine how previous research outcomes could be enhanced to add greater value to the
sector. Part of this effort was an investigation into how the research auditing tool used in SIM 06 06 01 can be further re ned
and made electronically available for use by all relevant parties.
Medical Surveillance ProgrammeThe need for accurate health data was well documented at all levels of the MHSC. As an initiative towards achieving this, the
Council approved a project to investigate a model for a real-time health data system to capture occupational diseases with
the long term goal of tracking trends.
Summit Action Plan and Presidential Audit OutcomesIn addition to the research initiatives, the Summit Action Plan and the outcomes of the Presidential Audit remained a key focus area
for the MHSC. Each of the themes had a set of identi able actions and outcomes.
For the year 2010/11, efforts were focussed on the development of strategies towards the various themes, with particular focus
on the nalisation of a culture transformation framework. The Changing Minds, Changing Mines project is based on a survey
that indicated that OHS culture in the industry was signi cantly more negative than international comparisons. At a workshop in
February 2010, stakeholders developed the nal document which was later submitted to the MHSC stakeholders for approval.

ii. The Council for Mineral Technology Research (Mintek)Mintek was established in terms of the Mineral Technology Act, No. 30 of 1989. It provides research, development and technology
that foster the development of businesses in the mineral and mineral products industries.
The effects of the global nancial crisis, which were somewhat delayed in the case of Mintek, resulted in the organisation
experiencing a loss, for the rst time since 2007, of R2.7 million in the year under review. The main cause of the loss was the
successful conclusion of the ConRoast demonstration phase as there was no major contract that could replace the Jubilee toll
treatment. Further, 46 positions associated with demonstration facility became redundant. Taking this into account, as well
as the nancial position of the organisation and the lack of work due to the economic slump, Mintek had to enter into formal
retrenchment consultations with the National Union of Mineworkers. A decision to retrench 39 staff members was inevitably
reached at the conclusion of the negotiations. Mintek continues to pursue other toll treatment avenues that could result in the
re-employment of the retrenched staff. The effects of the meltdown have now started to diminish and with the renewed interest in
exploration and related activities, as well as various internal cost-cutting measures instituted, the organisation’s nancial position
is expected to improve.
The recent focus on the acid mine drainage (AMD) legacy of mining in South Africa has necessitated Mintek’s re-evaluation
of its SAVMIN process, a technology which the organisation developed in the 1990s to treat AMD. Mintek re-engineered the
technology and, together with Veolia Water Solutions and Technologies, an international water and waste water management
company, the organisation will conduct feasibility studies for a cost comparison with other treatment options before a planned
demonstration plant is developed.
Mintek successfully commissioned a demonstration plant at Harmony Gold Mine’s No 1 plant near Welkom in the Free State
to demonstrate its MetRIX continuous resin-in-pulp (RIP) technology for the direct recovery of uranium from dense slurries.
Preliminary feasibility studies showed that this technology is more cost-effective than conventional methods. The MetRIX RIP
process also offers environmental bene ts as it is capable of treating uranium from low grade ores, such as from existing gold
slimes dams, thereby reducing the uncontrolled leaching of uranium into the environment.
Samples of iron, uranium and manganese ores were tested using sensor-based ore sorting with the aim of demonstrating
the technology’s capability to reduce water and energy consumption in plant ow sheets by dry waste rejection before further
processing. The sorting units, sourced from Commodas/Ultrasort and RADOS, have generated signi cant commercial interest.
A project, which was funded by the DMR and managed by Mintek, to rehabilitate derelict and ownerless mines across the country
was concluded at old asbestos mine at Prieska in the Northern Cape Province. Similar asbestos mine projects are ongoing at
Penge, Lusikisiki, Osizweni and Heuningvlei, and an additional ve sites have been identi ed for rehabilitation.
Through Mintek’s second economy interventions 86 people, some living with disabilities, were trained and received certi cates
at eight pottery projects in the North West Province. Eighty-nine people from historically disadvantaged communities were also
trained in modules of small scale mining in the Free State, Mpumalanga, the Western Cape and KwaZulu Natal.
Mintek’s quality, environment, safety and health (QESH) have been re-certi ed by independent auditors to meet the requirements
of quality (ISO 9001:2008), environment (ISO 14001:2004), and safety and health (OHSAS 18001:2007) after its QESH
management systems underwent a combined surveillance audit. Laboratories in the Hydrometallurgy and Analytical Services
divisions were also audited against the requirements of ISO17025 for testing and calibration laboratories, and retained their
accreditation.
iii. The Council for Geoscience The Council for Geoscience (CGS), established in terms of the Geoscience Act, No. 100 of 1993, is the national agency that
is tasked with the systematic development and maintenance of the national geosciences knowledge infrastructure for both the
onshore (land) and offshore (oceans) environment of South Africa.

Annual Report 2010/11
Geoscience Amendment ActAmendments to the Geoscience Act were passed by Parliament and signed by the President in December 2010. The Council
for Geoscience is currently compiling the Act’s regulations, which will be nalised in the new nancial year. The Act with its
regulations contains important procedures to better manage the sustainable development on dolomitic land that is susceptible to
sinkholes and subsidences. The amended Act also stipulates procedures for the submission of relevant geoscienti c data to the
Council for Geoscience to ensure that this information will be used to enhance other geoscienciti c research programmes and
mineral investment and exploration in the country.
Acid Mine DrainageThe Council for Geoscience led and coordinated the compilation of team of experts’ report to the Inter- Ministerial Committee on
Acid Mine Drainage, from which a series of important recommendations were made to address acid mine drainage for the gold-
producing regions of the Witwatersrand. The Council for Geoscience will continue to focus on research to reduce the impact of
acid mine drainage, not only in the Witwatersrand but also in the coal-producing areas of the country. In this regard, the Council
for Geoscience, along with partners from a number of European and Asian countries are undertaking research studies in South
Africa, the Czech Republic and Kyrgyzstan to enhance understanding of acid mine drainage in various geological terrains.
Rehabilitation of derelict and ownerless mines: Coal mines in Mpumalanga During 2011 the Council for Geoscience intends to begin developing rehabilitation plans for a number of derelict and ownerless
mines, with the initial focus being on coal mines in Mpumalanga. Most of these sites have related acid mine drainage problems
and the proper management and mitigation of these impacts will form an important component of the project.
Seismic Activities on Mines - Mine Safety Research ProgrammeThe Council for Geoscience, in collaboration with the Mine Health and Safety Council, has made signi cant progress in a project
aimed at reducing the injuries and mining fatalities associated with seismic activity on our deep gold mining operations. The initial
phase involves the integration of the mining seismic network with the Council for Geoscience’s national network. This will assist
in assessing earthquake-related hazards in our mines, which in turn will reduce the associated injuries and loss of life.
Coal Resources of South AfricaThe Council for Geoscience is undertaking an assessment of the coal resources and reserves of South Africa in collaboration
with Eskom, which is set for completion by end of 2011. This signi cant study will indicate the localities and magnitude of the
remaining resources and reserves, which is of great importance for the planning of infrastructure for future exploitation of these
reserves. The results will inform planning of power stations, industrial complexes, town planning, water supply, roads and railway
lines. The study will also be of paramount importance in ensuring that the country does not run out of this important commodity.
The last comprehensive study and assessment of South Africa’s coal resources was conducted in the 1970s and the lack of
scienti cally derived resource gures has made management and planning of this resource dif cult.
Mineral Exploration in South AfricaAs part of its contribution to attract investment and grow the South African exploration and mining sector, the Council for
Geoscience embarked on a number of research programmes. One such programme was the investigation of the availability
of the strategically important metals such as rare earth metals. These metals have a number of signi cant uses, including
use in permanent magnets in computers, wind turbines, mobile phones and batteries for hybrid cars. The programme is being
undertaken in collaboration with counterparts from Japan and will continue in the 2011/12 nancial year.
The Council for Geoscience has also embarked on an ambitious programme to review the geochemical data for the entire
Bushveld Complex with the view of identifying further potential mineral targets. This programme is expected to be almost
completed by the end of the 2011/12 nancial year.
Sustainable utilisation of coal and gas and addressing global warming The Council for Geoscience was a lead party in producing the Atlas on the Geological Storage Potential of South Africa, which
was released to the public in September 2010. It explains South Africa’s energy economy, the requirements for the safe storage
PUBLIC ENTITIES REPORTING TO THE MINISTER

Department of Mineral Resources
of carbon dioxide and where South Africa’s storage potential lies. The atlas is intended for a broad public readership and captures
fundamental knowledge on the topic of the potential for geological storage of carbon dioxide in the country.
The Council for Geoscience is also currently involved in three important climate change projects to examine the past changes
of palaeoclimate in order to understand future climate change forecasts. One of the projects is particularly important, as it uses
geological records from the Kalkkop Crater Lake near Graaf Reinet showing high resolution seasonal variations of various
climatic indices.
A DMR task team has been set up to assess the potential of extracting gas from shales in the Karoo Basin. It is expected
that the Council for Geoscience will contribute signi cantly to the geological understanding of this gas resource as well as the
environmental aspects in respect of its potential extraction.
Geological Mapping of South Africa’s Offshore Territories The Council for Geoscience has almost completed a business case analysis for South Africa to implement a national offshore
mapping programme. Knowledge of the seabed in South Africa’s current territory of 1.54 m km2 is extremely low and this territory
could potentially be extended to 3.42 m km2 through the UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf.
Our offshore region is becoming increasingly important for a host of activities and resource exploitation including mineral
exploration and extraction, energy resources (renewable and non-renewable), commercial and recreational shing, coastal
engineering, environmental conservation, transport and navigation, microbial resources and academic research. These sectors
require detailed knowledge of the seabed, a need which the proposed offshore programme would address.
iv. The South African Diamond and Precious Metals Regulator The South African Diamond and Precious Metals Regulator (SADPMR) was established in terms of the Diamonds Act 1986 as
amended and the Precious Metals Act, No. 37 of 2005. The South African Diamond Board ceased to exist on 30 June 2007 and
the South African Diamond and Precious Metals Regulator came into effect on 1 July 2007. The Regulator took over the mandate,
functions, staff and all assets and liabilities of the Diamond Board. The Regulator is now responsible for the regulation of the
South African diamond, platinum and gold sectors. It is funded, in terms of Act, through a state grant, as opposed to the Board
which generated its own funding from levies and licence fees of site holders.
Diamond Bene ciationRelative to calendar year 2009, in which crisis in the industry was most felt, diamond bene ciation in South Africa recorded a 30
percent growth in 2010. An estimated 280 000 carats of rough diamond (valued at an estimated US $350 million) were subject to
cutting and polishing during the year, compared with 210 000 carats of rough diamonds (valued at an estimated US $290 million)
in 2009.
Polished diamond exports are estimated to have grown from around 134 900 carats (valued at an estimated US $600 million) in
2009 to an estimated 159 000 carats (valued at an estimated US $460 million) in 2010.
However, according to statistics from the Bargaining Council for the Diamond Cutting Industry, employment in diamond cutting
remained at some 1200 in 2010.

Annual Report 2010/11
v. The State Diamond Trader The State Diamond Trader was established in terms of the Diamond Act, No. 56 of 1986, as amended, to ful l the following main
functions: to promote equitable access to and bene ciation of diamond resources, to address distortions in the diamond industry
and correct historical market failures, and to develop and grow South Africa’s diamond cutting and polishing industry. The State
Diamond Trader commenced its operations in September 2007.
HighlightsAs the diamond markets emerged from the global economic recession of 2008/09, the State Diamond Trader (SDT) was able to
capitalise on the spurts of growth that took place and strengthened its trading ability throughout the nancial year. A heightened
reaction was employed by the SDT through its Interim Sales Strategy, yielding a number of positive results.
In terms of purchasing, the SDT increased the purchasing of rough diamonds using its own revenue, saving signi cant costs
related to loan funding and managed to purchase 9% by volume (carats) and value. On the sales side, a total of 60 clients made
purchases from the SDT, compared to 34 who in the previous year, which contributed to an increase in turnover from R300 million
last year to R810 million, with a R36 milion gross pro t.
In addition, the SDT facilitated business management training for some of its small clients and held client information sessions
where clients were able to interact with Board members on any matter pertaining to their relationship with the SDT.
The SDT also made improvements to its operational ef ciency. Operational expenditure was streamlined, contributing to the
increased pro t return, and a Stock Holding Policy was developed, with targeted turnaround time of stock being achieved. The
existing producers supplying rough to the SDT were maintained with improved compliance.
Four (4) Diamond Trainees who were jointly employed with the DMR were trained throughout the year and four more trainees will
be trained in the coming nancial year. The seconded personnel from both DMR and De Beers continued to provide invaluable
contribution to the operations of the SDT.
ChallengesThe lack of state funding and the nalisation of its own funding model remain signi cant challenges. The other challenge that
continues to pose itself is the purchasing of rough diamonds on a run of mine (ROM) basis, which demands proactive and
innovative selling measures on the part of the SDT.

Department of Mineral Resources
It gives me great pleasure to present the Department of Mineral Resources Annual Report for the 2010/11 nancial year.
The year under review has been monumental for the Department. With the DME split that established us as a separate department now behind us, the DMR set about rede ning the way it does business so as to make a positive contribution to the transformation and development of the mining industry.
Perhaps the highlight of the year was the implementation of the improved cadastre online system which replaced the outdated National Mining Promotion System. This exercise was key to addressing operational shortfalls and improving ef ciencies, which was a major focus of the year under review.
As part of this effort, we imposed a moratorium on new applications for prospecting rights while a new system was developed. This gave us time to take stock of our progress since the promulgation of the Minerals, Petroleum Resources Development Act in 2004.
MINISTER’S STATEMENT
The period of the moratorium, which ended on 31 March 2011, throughout our country, except Mpumalanga provided the time needed to get a clearer picture of our operational and systems shortfalls. For this I would like to thank the Director General who championed this project with zeal and dedication, as always. He put together a formidable team to work on this challenge, and the expertise of the team members has been greatly enhanced through this project.
During the moratorium period, the Mineral Regulation Branch was able to conduct inspections on all issued Prospecting Rights with 3266 inspections conducted from a planned 3507.
The Department has now become committed to more stringent monitoring and enforcement of compliance. The provisions of Sections 47 and 93 of the Act are being used more effectively and any mines contravening the terms and conditions of their rights will have their licences suspended or even cancelled.
As a result of the inspections, 434 Section 47 statutory notices, or notices of intention to cancel rights, were issued to rights holders who have failed to commence with prospecting activities within the legislated 120 days. The reason given was generally the lack of access to nancial resources needed to commence with prospecting activities. In the diamond sector, we have found rights holders who have been utilising prospecting rights to mine with/without section 20(2) of the MPRDA permissions with the intention of avoiding the implementation of social and labour plans.
A total of 713 Section 93 statutory orders were issued to rights holders who were found to be operating outside of their approved environmental management plans and prospecting work programmes; who did not review or make adequate nancial provision to remedy environmental degradation; who had not submitted annual performance information; or who had not paid prospecting fees.
I had indicated the intention to reduce the time it takes to apply for prospecting rights as well as mining rights. Through the improvement of the system, this is now a reality. The system was inundated in the rst few hours of going back online, and we continue to learn and improve it to make it easier for potential investors to take part in our mining industry.
I have also been humbled by the spirit of trust we have engendered among our key partners, labour and organised business, with whom we spent countless hours in meetings sharing our expertise in order to enhance the industry and the role it plays in our economy.
With our Mining Industry Growth, Development and Employment Task Team (MIGDETT) partners, we engaged in international roadshows and presented one voice to sometimes sceptical investors who had heard unfavourable stories about our business model. I am pleased to report that even though it was an uphill battle we managed to give a healthy picture of the opportunities and bene ts of doing business in this country and that the seeds we planted found some fertile ground.
Minister Susan Shabangu

Annual Report 2010/11
MINISTER’S STATEMENT
We believe that the Department continues to create an enabling environment for our country to take advantage of the commodities boom currently underway.
One of the other notable achievements for the Department was the development and ultimate endorsement of the bene ciation strategy by Cabinet. The strategy provides a framework for the orderly development of the country’s mineral value chain. This strategy will support the New Growth Path and National Industrialisation Policy Framework, both of which seek to put the country on a production-based, labour-absorptive growth trajectory.
Other critical areas that remain high on the agenda include the mining sector strategy, the migration of the state-owned mining company into DMR and the nalisation of the strategy to deal with small-scale miners.
We have given an undertaking to improve the construct of the MPRDA and other legislation within our ambit. While these pieces of legislation are robust, the principal Act has presented areas of ambiguity which have led to different interpretations. The objectives of the amendment are to improve the current construct of the Act to remove ambiguities, make provision for a comprehensive consultation process, make provision for enhanced punitive measures, streamline the licensing processes and provide for a single regulatory authority.
Parallel to the strategy adoption process, work has began on developing a steel value chain intervention plan that will mitigate the value chain speci c and cross cutting constraints identi ed in the strategy.
Work on rehabilitation of ownerless and derelict mines continues unabated. These mines pose signi cant environmental, health and safety risks to neighbouring communities, as they, among other things, pollute ground and river water systems. The primary aim of rehabilitation is permanently to eliminate the environmental damage by restoring the land impacted by the mining activity to a sustainable usable condition.
This includes the concept of minimising loss of land use capability and provides tangible bene t to our society. The secondary aim is to return the disturbed area to an ecologically stable environment which is in equilibrium with its immediate surroundings and, to this end, ve derelict and ownerless mine sites were rehabilitated in the 2010/11 nancial year.
Turning to the issue of mine health and safety, I am still very gravely concerned about the continued carnage on our mines. It appears that most of these fatalities are related to increased production in the gold and platinum sectors which is being compounded by the lack of improvement in cases of TB, silicosis, as well as noise induced diseases.
Accordingly we are currently reviewing the Mine Health and Safety Act in order to strengthen enforcement of safety in our mines whilst removing any ambiguities.
As we did this past year, we have set ourselves what many may consider steep targets for the nancial year to come, but we believe they are attainable.
Again, I would like to thank the team under the astute stewardship of Advocate Sandile Nogxina for their immense contribution to the attainment of the targets we had set for ourselves. The future looks bright because of their good work.
This annual report is tabled for your consideration.
Ms Susan Shabangu, MP
Minister of Mineral Resources

Department of Mineral Resources
It is my pleasure to present the Annual Report of the Department of Mineral Resources for the 2010/2011 nancial year.
The performance of the mining industry for the period 2010 demonstrated signi cant recovery from the preceding implosion caused
by the global economic and nancial crisis. In this regard, the aggregated extraction rate grew at a phenomenal 5.8% relative to a
contraction experienced in the preceding year. This performance con rms our view that recovery is now well underway and that the
next commodities boom has begun in earnest.
Simultaneously, employment in the mining industry shrunk by 5.1% in 2009, although in the same period employment of women
grew by a staggering 11%. The employment of women in the sector started from a low base, indicating that efforts to diversify the
workforce are beginning to bear fruit. In 2010, total employment grew by 1.2%, with women employment growing by a further 15.6%.
Total employment in mining reached 498 055, falling marginally short of the threshold of half a million jobs.
Employment in mining continued to grow during the year, and will continue to do so in the future, given the current interventions.
These are aimed at positioning this industry along a sustainable growth trajectory resulting in the further creation of decent jobs, in
line with the national developmental priorities. These interventions include the development of a national mining sector strategy, the
Bene ciation Strategy as well as the revised Mining Charter.
The management of derelict and ownerless mines is a key deliverable of the Department given the serious challenges that the
ACCOUNTING OFFICER’S OVERVIEW
country is facing from such mines. An important milestone in the evolution of addressing this legacy has been the development
and approval of a strategy for the rehabilitation of these derelict and ownerless mines. This strategy makes provision for a policy
framework for the management and amelioration of the negative environmental and health impact of these mines.
This plan presents a programme of work to be undertaken on an annual basis with identi ed activities which are buttressed by
the funding requirements propelled by a clear risk pro le. Employing the limited nancial resources available, the Department
rehabilitated ve sites during the 2010/11 nancial year, creating a total of 221 employment opportunities. Ten sites have been
prioritised for the next nancial year and work is currently already underway to give priority to sites that are posing high risks to
communities as well as those that are likely to have a negative impact on the surrounding ecosystems.
Over and above the utilization of the funds allocated from the scus, the Department is working towards concluding a strategic
partnership agreement with the Department of Public Works. This will be executed through the Expanded Public Works Programme
(EPWP) with a speci c focus on the environment and the Culture Sector Incentive Programme. This is being done in a bid to ensure
that, as we eradicate the environmental blight, we simultaneously contribute to job creation as well as to tap into other nancial
resources that are available within the public sector to achieve the outcomes of this programme.
During the 2010/11 nancial year one of the objectives of the Department was to grant 27 mining rights to historically disadvantaged
South Africans (HDSAs) and we eventually granted, to these groups, 117 mining rights. In the case of women-led entities, 30 rights
were granted compared with the initial target of 18. 32 MPRDA workshops were held, against a planned target of 10, and this was
done in order to engage and promote interaction with stakeholders which assisted in promoting the objective of the MPRDA.
South African Mineral Resources Administration System (SAMRAD)The process of developing an integrated electronic system commenced during the 2010/11 nancial year. The system allows for the
integrated management of information and has consequently improved the management of the administrative process underpinning
our licensing regime. Due to the limitations of the National Mining Promotion System, a decision was consequently taken to expand
the new electronic management system within the Department, starting with the Mineral Regulation branch.
The mandate was for the Mineral Regulation Branch rstly to develop a transparent online application system that makes it possible
for the public to freely view the spatial locality of applications in terms of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act,
“MPRDA” (Act 28 of 2002). This would enable applicants to check the status of their applications. Secondly the branch was to develop
a system that eliminates the risk of spatial errors; and, thirdly, to ensure that uniform standards and procedures are implemented
when processing applications. The system was developed and subsequently launched in the rst half of 2011.
12
Annual Report 2010/11
ACCOUNTING OFFICER’S OVERVIEW
The Department conducted 189 Mining Charter compliance inspections against the initial target of 140. This was necessitated
by the deliberate decision of the Department to shift the strategic focus to monitor the compliance of holders of rights. In the area
of environmental management, the Branch conducted 3006 compliance inspections against the initial target of 1380. This gure
includes inspections that were conducted during the period of the moratorium.
During the year under review we recorded the lowest number of fatalities in the history of the mining industry. A total of 127 persons
lost their lives compared to 168 of the previous year. Although there has been marginal improvement, the Department is still
concerned about the continued loss of life at our mines.
It is a matter of fact that there are more deaths in the mining industry as a result of occupational health diseases rather than
occupational injuries.
The Department will continue to take a hard stance against unsafe working conditions. Accordingly heads of these institutions will be
engaged to ensure that appropriate steps are taken to improve safety in their operations.
CONCLUSION
I would like to thank, most sincerely, all members of staff who have made an invaluable contribution to the excellent manner in which
we have executed our responsibilities during the nancial year covered by this report. We have no doubt that our efforts to improve
the working conditions of our employees will continue to reward us as we face an exciting and yet challenging future.

2.1.5 Overview of the service delivery environment for 2010/11
Following the split of the Department of Minerals and Energy into two Departments, namely the Department of Mineral Resources and
the Department of Energy, and the subsequent internal restructuring of the two departments, the Department of Mineral Resources is
pleased to con rm that the process went smoothly, with only minor challenges. All the line and support services functions have settled
well and have established systems that have continued to align service delivery with the electoral mandate and strategic priorities.
In January 2011, following the Cabinet Lekgotla, the President made a call to all national departments to ll vacant funded posts by
June 2011. The Department heeded the call and can safely con rm that it has made signi cant progress in this regard.
Mine Health and Safety
The safety track record in the South African mining industry continues to be a matter of great concern to the Department, although
the mining industry has in the last year managed to record a year-on-year reduction in fatalities due to mine accidents. A total
of 127 mine employees died in 2010, compared with 168 fatalities in 2009. Fall of Ground (FOG) accidents remains the largest
accident category and the predominant cause of fatalities, followed by transportation and machinery categories respectively.
Occupational health impacts are not immediate and hence dif cult to quantify. Silicosis remains a major cause of premature
retirement and death at South African mines, due to excessive dust exposure. On the other hand, tuberculosis (TB) continues to
be a serious challenge for the mining industry and this is exacerbated by HIV and AIDS. Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is
also a signi cant health hazard due to exposure to high levels of noise in workplaces.
Disaster-type AccidentsAn underground re was detected at Harmony’s, Phakisa Mine in the Free State and two proto teams were sent down to
investigate. An explosion took place in which three members of the proto teams were fatally injured and another two members
subsequently died from their injuries. During May 2010 a FOG accident killed three mineworkers at Simmer & Jack, #5 Shaft in
the Stilfontein vicinity. Another massive FOG was responsible for the death of ve mineworkers at Aquarius, Marikana Mine close
to Rustenburg.
HIV/AIDS and Occupational HealthA new Chief Directorate was established within the Inspectorate to focus on occupational health, as more people are dying from
occupational diseases than from occupational injuries within the South African mining industry. Silicosis is still of major concern,
especially in the gold mining sector. Research conducted through the Mine Health and Safety Council (MHSC) is focused on
ways of reducing excessive exposure to silica dust to prevent silicosis.

Annual Report 2010/11
Tuberculosis (TB) remains the main occupational health challenge within the South African mining industry. This picture has not
changed over many years and the situation has been aggravated by HIV-infections. The Department has commissioned the
National Institute of Occupational Health (NIOH) to conduct a study on HIV and TB in the mining industry in terms of prevalence
and incidence. The nal report has been completed and will be discussed during an HIV/TB Summit to be held during 2011.
Mineral Regulation
On 31 August 2010, the Department, after having invited and considered representations from relevant stakeholders, imposed a
moratorium under section 49(1) of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, on new applications for prospecting
rights in terms of section 16 of the MPRDA, for a period of six months with effect from 1 September 2010 until 28 February 2011.
This moratorium did not affect the processing of existing prospecting rights applications received before 01 September 2010, or
the renewals thereof.
The primary objective of the moratorium was to allow the Department to:
a) Conduct a thorough audit on all granted and issued prospecting rights to verify all prospecting activities per right through
compliance inspections.
b) Audit how many of the 3507 applications for prospecting rights received and processed in fact graduated into impactful
mining rights.
c) Conduct veri cation on all prospecting rights that have lapsed, in order to ensure whether closure certi cates were
issued.
d) Clean up the backlog in respect of all applications on the system.
e) Clean up the National Mining Promotion System (NMPS) to ensure accuracy and reliability of information on the system,
prior to its migration to SAMRAD.
f) Align the reduction of newly set timeframes with SAMSHA in order to comply with the MIDGETT commitments.
g) Align the above processes with the mining charter review process.
After a period of six months, the Department amended the initial moratorium period of six months to add another month in respect
of eight regions, with the exception of the Mpumalanga Region. In respect of Mpumalanga Region, the moratorium was extended
until 30 September 2011 in order to allow the Department to fully ful l the objectives of the moratorium.
Mineral Policy and Promotion
During the 2010/11 nancial year, two Directorates – the Mine Occupational Safety Policy and Mine Occupational Health Policy
– were moved from the Mine Health and Safety Inspectorate to Mining and Mineral Policy Development. The move was intended
to ensure that all policy development and related work is located within one section of the Department.
The International Coordination Directorate also shifted from the Corporate Services Branch to the Mineral Policy And Promotion
Branch during the latter part of the nancial year. This move was designed to reinforce the promotional aspect of the Department
in terms of encouraging investments from strategic countries that South Africa has established partnerships with.

2.1.6 Key policy developments and legislative changes for the 2010/11 nancial year
Amendments of both the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) and the Mine Health and Safety Act (MHSA)
will be undertaken during 2011/12.
The review of the MPRDA seeks to improve the current construct of the Act, remove ambiguities, make provision for clarity for
consultation processes, enhance punitive measures of the law and streamline the licensing processes including making provisions
for the regulation of the environment in respect of minerals and mining.
The MHSA is being reviewed to strengthen enforcement provisions, simplify the administrative system for issuing of nes, increase
penalties for offences, substitute and remove ambiguities and effect certain amendments for consistency with the MPRDA.
A comprehensive assessment of the outcomes of the Mining Charter as reported in our previous annual report revealed a lack of
compliance by the mining industry with the implementation of the objectives outlined therein. To overcome the inadequacies, the
Mining Charter was subsequently amended and gazetted late last year. The mining industry will have to comply with the requirements
of this document and the rst compliance reports from mining companies following the Charter review are due at the end of June of
the next reporting period.
We had reported the tabling of the Geoscience Amendment Bill Act, No. 16 of 2010 in our last report. This piece of legislation was
assented to and signed by the President at the end of last year.
Several strategies and guidelines relating to environmental management have been drafted and are awaiting approval. They will
assist to streamline environmental management in the Department and place the Department in a more positive light with regard
to clear environmental direction. These include the Mine Environmental management series which contains guidelines for EIAs,
monitoring and closure as well as the regional mine Closure Strategies to provide guidance on the management of water at a regional
scale in the different mining areas.

Department of Mineral Resources
PROGRAMME 1: ADMINISTRATION Purpose: To enable the Department to deliver on its mandate by providing strategic support management services and administrative
support to the Ministry and the Department of Mineral Resources.
Corporate Services BranchHeaded by the Deputy Director-General: Corporate Services, the Branch consists of ve Chief Directorates:
Human Resources Management;•
Communication and International Co-ordination;•
Special Projects and Programmes;•
Strategy, Risk and Monitoring; and•
The Ministry (administrative support).•
Service Delivery: Achievements, Objectives and IndicatorsThe President’s announcement of the split of the Department of Minerals and Energy into two independent departments came soon
after the nalisation of the DME’s 2010/11 strategic plan. Among the decisions taken were the restructuring of Corporate Services and
the repositioning of Human Resources as a priority focus area to address capacity challenges accumulated over a number of years
as the size of the Department increased. The government-wide restructuring process focused on the use of internal resources and
used minimal internal capacity to restructure and reposition these critical functions.
Some of the planned projects were put on hold until the nalisation of the split (as indicated in the tables below). By the end of the
2010/11 nancial year, the split of the Department of Minerals and Energy into two independent departments, namely the Department
of Energy and the Department of Mineral Resources, had been completed. The two new departments became operational on 1 April
2010, each with its own budget, budget vote, personnel and accommodation. In light of the above, Corporate Services has managed
the transition fairly well with only minor hiccups. All systems that were put in place have had a positive impact in the smooth running
of the Department.
i Chief Directorate: Human Resource Management Services The Chief Directorate: HRM services is responsible for rendering a management support service to the Department. It provides
services relating to organisational development, human resource planning and policy, human resource administration and
practices, human resource development as well as employee relations management to line function components. The CD: HRM
services’ primary focus is on capacity building with the view to ensuring alignment between the Departmental service delivery
imperatives and its new mandates and strategic priorities.
Organisational DevelopmentThe main purpose of this Directorate is to provide a comprehensive organisational development service to the Department.
The Directorate has successfully managed change that resulted from the split of the former Department of Minerals and
Energy. The Directorate has also successfully nalised the re-alignment of the organisational structure project for all line
function branches. With regards to job evaluation, out of the six branches of the Department, job evaluations for three
branches have been nalised.
Human Resource Planning and PolicyThis is a newly created Directorate resulting from the restructuring and repositioning of the Directorate: Human Resources
in the Department. The focus of this Directorate is to manage all the human resource related activities, including human
resource planning, systems, functions, branding, marketing and policies within the Department. In this regard the Directorate
developed an Integrated Human Resource Plan as well as the Employment Equity Plan for the Department.
PROGRAMME 1: ADMINISTRATION
22
Annual Report 2010/11
Human Resource Administration and PracticesThe main purpose of this Directorate is to manage relationships with mineral resources business unit’s partners on human
resources matters and administration. This entails recruitment and selection, facilitating competency-based assessments and
individual performance evaluations through the Performance Management and Development System (PMDS), managing
service conditions and the implementation of Policy and Procedure Incapacity Leave and Ill-health Retirement (PILIR).
Following the Department split, considerable effort was applied to match and place all employees into the new structures. In
addition, the performance bonuses and pay progressions for all staff below SMS level were implemented during the second
quarter of the 2010/11 nancial year.
Human Resource DevelopmentThe mandate of the Human Resource Development Directorate in terms of the Skills Development Act (SDA), the National
Human Resource Development Strategy (NHRDS), the National Skills Development Strategy (NSDS) and the Departmental
HRD Implementation Plan is to address skills challenges through training and development programmes that can ensure that
there is a supply of employees with the required skills set (i.e. scarce/critical skills), to meet the Departmental strategic needs
as well as the needs of the South Africa economy. This is essential in ensuring that the economy as a whole achieves improved
performance to enhance service delivery.
To deliver on its mandate, the Directorate is responsible for the development and implementation of the Departmental HRD
strategy and Workplace Skills Plan.
Highlights in this regard included a number of generic and technical programmes, ranging from mass inductions, middle
management development, executive development programme, and government certi cate of competency (GCC). The
Directorate also successfully administered the bursary schemes (both internally and externally focused), international
sponsorships as well as internship and learnership programmes for Mineral Policy and Promotion, Mineral Regulation and
Mine Health and Safety.
The challenges facing the Directorate include the shortfall on operational budget allocated and an inability to retain staff due to
the high salary packages offered by the mining industry. In order to source funding to meet the budget shortfall, the Department
has entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Mining Quali cation Authority, and the MQA has agreed to fund 60
bursaries and 10 learnerships / internships.
Employee Relations ManagementThis is also a newly created Directorate aimed at managing employee relations, collective bargaining and employee wellness.
The Directorate was able to establish a Departmental Bargaining Chamber within the prescribed timeframe. In addition, the
employment relations sub-directorate nalised all disciplinary and grievance cases within the prescribed timeframes. Three
arbitrations were handled, with two cases being ruled in favour of the Department, while one is still with the Labour Court.
In terms of wellness, u vaccination and health risk assessments were carried out in all regional of ces.
Security Risk ManagementThe main purpose of this Directorate is to ensure effective security risk management services, the focus being on vetting
and security operations. The main achievement of the Directorate was the full implementation and functionality of the Vetting
strategy in the Department. Ninety percent (90%) of EXCO members have been security cleared, with the other 10% still in
progress at the time of reporting.
The Directorate also observed a decline in the number of security breaches since the beginning of the nancial year with only
one case reported as opposed to six reported in the previous year.
Legal ServicesThe Directorate: Legal Services focuses on ensuring the provision of professional legal support and advisory services to the
Ministry and the Department.
PROGRAMME 1: ADMINISTRATION

Department of Mineral Resources
Legal Services provides the Department with comprehensive legal support services, including legal opinions and advice,
assistance with legal drafting, litigation, and assisting with and monitoring the implementation of the Promotion of Access to
Information Act (PAIA), No. 2 of 2000 and the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act, No. 3 of 2000. The Directorate also assists
in the determination of culpability of of cials in cases of lost or damaged property, assists the Minister in handling appeals against
the Department’s administrative decisions, and facilitates the signing of international agreements between the Department and
third parties.
Chief Directorate: Communication and International Co-ordinationThe objective of the Chief Directorate: Communications is to develop, implement and manage communication strategies for the
Department for both internal and external stakeholders, including the media. Its core mandate entails rendering ef cient and
effective communication services in line with the DMR’s mandate, mission, vision and values, whilst bearing in mind the context
and environment of the mining industry. The role of the Directorate is critical to the success of the Department.
Working in tandem with all senior managers, the Directorate leads the Department’s communication effort in support of the overall
objectives of the Department. It is also charged with supporting the Minister, Deputy Minister, Director-General and line function
branches in media management, branding, marketing, public relations, internal communications, publications services, library and
knowledge management services, and switchboard and reception services.
Since the split of the DME, the Chief Directorate has embarked on a project of restructuring the Directorate: Communications
to ensure that it is appropriately capacitated to provide communications services. The restructuring will further consolidate the
unit and reasserts communication as central to all of DMR’s programmes and policies. Such an approach will also apply to
international communication and the marketing of the Department abroad.
Communication objectives The Department‘s communication is driven by the need to:
Pro le the Minister and Deputy Minister and promote the vision, mission, objectives, policies and programmes of the • Department;
Sustain public con dence in government‘s ability to deliver on its mandate through the Department’s programmes;•

with different countries is a dynamic process and has evolved since the attainment of democracy in 1994. National interests will al-
ways determine the social, political and economic developmental strategic milieu for our interaction with foreign nations.
During the forthcoming nancial year, we will nalise this process and ensure that our plans of foreign engagement are aligned with
national needs, including the conclusion of a number of bilateral agreements and establishing new strategic relationships within
the mining industry. The evaluation of these agreements ensured the promotion of the Department’s agenda in multilateral fora and
through bilateral relations and structured bilateral meetings.
Chief Directorate: Special Projects and ProgrammesThe Chief Directorate: Special Projects is tasked with the implementation of transformation imperatives of vulnerable groups and
disadvantaged communities. The Department’s strategy in this regard is to mainstream gender and youth empowerment and
facilitate the participation of these groups and communities through sector groups and outreach programmes.
During the year under review the Chief Directorate implemented its outreach programmes in four provinces, namely Gauteng,
Limpopo, Eastern Cape and KwaZulu Natal. Information sessions were presented that offered career guidance to encourage
learners to pursue careers in the mining related elds. These programmes are undertaken in partnership with mining stakeholders.
The Chief Directorate also provided targeted institutions with computers and furniture as a contribution towards education and
community development.
During the 2010 Women’s Month the Minister hosted a “Women in Mining” Ingxoxo (dialogue) with the view of addressing
challenges experienced by women in mining. The mining Ingxoxo was attended by more than 300 women who are involved in
mining as owners, shareholders, executives or similar positions. During the Ingxoxo, the Minister made a call to established
mining houses to pledge their support to adopt girl learners and provide bursaries to study towards mining and related elds. To
date, 17 girl learners will be enrolled at various tertiary institutions for the 2012 academic year through the contributions of private
sector companies who have pledged their support to the initiative.
A successful Mandela Day was hosted by supporting a retirement home in Vosloorus. Food, blankets and other necessities were
provided to the centre, including the renovating of two houses for the elderly in the area. The Chief Directorate also hosted a
successful event for 16 days of activism against women abuse in Rustenburg.
Following a bilateral agreement between the South African and Chinese governments in 2006, the Department entered into an
agreement with Michael Diamond Company to train young South African women in bene ciation in China. The Special Projects
and Bene ciation Components facilitated the selection and travel arrangements of the selected young women to be trained in
jewellery making.
Some of these young women have since come together and established a jewellery company namely, Umtha Welanga Jewellers
which was launched on 4 March 2011.
Chief Directorate: Strategy, Risk and Monitoring (the Compliance Of ce)This Chief Directorate is the Department’s focal point on corporate governance and is responsible for co-ordinating strategic
planning, risk management, fraud prevention, quarterly and annual reporting, and compliance monitoring (by the Department
and its public entities). It exercises oversight, in conjunction with line function branches, of the activities of state-owned entities

PROGRAMME 1: ADMINISTRATION
reporting to the Ministers of Mineral Resources.
The Minister tabled the 2009/10 Annual Report of the Department and its state-owned entities, as well as its 2010–2013 Strategic
Plan, in Parliament on time. This of ce and the state-owned entities have ensured compliance with the administrative, nancial and
legal requirements of the PFMA and Treasury Regulations, founding Acts of the respective entities and the Companies’ Act (where
applicable).
A Service Delivery Improvement Plan was developed as required by the Public Service Regulations and in line with the Cabinet
decision to revitalise Batho Pele. The plan was submitted to DPSA and implemented with effect from 1 April 2010.
Corporate GovernanceState-owned entities reporting to the Minister of Mineral Resources are governed by, inter alia:
i) the Public Finance Management Act, government’s broader strategy to improve nancial management and governance in
the public sector;
ii) the Protocol on Corporate Governance in the Public Sector, government’s guideline on how state-owned entities need to
implement corporate governance; and
iii) the King III Report on Corporate Governance for South Africa.
Corporate governance is integral to creating an environment of good conduct, improved internal controls, risk
management and better corporate culture.
The Boards of the individual entities have the responsibility to set strategic direction that is aligned with that of the
Department, oversee and guide the entity and instil good governance. Transparency of conduct ensures that the Minister
as shareholder can hold the Boards to account.
The public entities’ annual strategic plans, business plans, shareholder compacts and their budget proposals were reviewed and
approved by the Minister. Delays in the approval of some of the documentation were due to ongoing discussions between the
Department and the entities concerned to ensure strategic alignment with government priorities.

Department of Mineral Resources
Purpose: The purpose of the Branch: Chief Financial Of ce is to provide strategic and administrative support services to the
Ministry and the Department. Headed by the Chief Financial Of cer, the branch consists of the following components:
Supply Chain Management • which is primarily responsible for providing procurement, logistics and asset management service
to the Department;
Information and Communications Technology• which provides Information technology (infrastructure and networks) services
as well as the development and maintenance of application systems;
Financial Planning and Management Accounting• which is responsible for coordinating the budget process, revenue
management and reporting on all nancial matters, including annual nancial statements expenditure reports prescribed in the
PFMA;
Expenditure Management• responsible for ensuring that all payments to service providers and departmental employees are
done on time and within a controlled environment to ensure compliance; and
Transport, Facilities and Records Managemen• t which is responsible for the provision of adequate facilities, including
accommodation, transport and records management services to the Department.
Achievements
Budget and expenditure
The Department recorded a 0.12% under-spending on allocated budget for 2010/11 which is far below the 5% threshold set by
National Treasury. This was realised through effective and continuous monitoring processes that were implemented during the
year.
The process of compiling the 2011/12 budget and ENE chapter for the Department was also completed during the year under
review. All branches have compiled and submitted their spending plans which were used as a basis for projecting the monthly
expenditure.
Policies and procedures
In the pursuit for consistency and to eliminate non-compliance, various policies were approved and implemented during the year.
Parallel to the development of these policies, procedures were also developed.
Service delivery/turnaround times
The Branch has completed the process of developing a service catalogue which de nes the standard turnaround time for each
service rendered within the Branch. This will form the basis for monitoring actual turnaround times on a monthly basis. Ten (10)
service level agreements were also concluded with various vendors and implemented during 2010/11.

PROGRAMME 1.1: CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICE
Compliance matters
In an effort to eliminate cases of non-compliance with the procurement procedure that has seen signi cant increase in irregular
expenditure incurred during 2010/2011, the following measures have been put in place:
Improved liaison with the National Treasury Supply Chain Management Norms and Standard Component•
Consistent reporting of suspected irregular expenditure to Managers for investigation and for taking necessary disciplinary • measures against the transgressor.
Quarterly reporting of performance against the irregular expenditure measures to Programme Managers.•
The Accounting Of cer granting condonation of irregular expenditure only after the Responsibility Manager has reported • the corrective measure taken against the transgressor
The medium to long term vision for the department in this regard is to eliminate the non-compliance entirely.
The Department continued to compile a monthly compliance certi cate as required by the National Treasury. The level of
compliance against a target of 100% was recorded at 98%.
Facilities
During the year under review, the Department of Mineral Resources relocated its head of ce to new premises in order to improve
the morale of staff and improve the overall image of the Department. The relocation had become a necessity due to the appalling
condition of the previous head of ce building.
Information and Communication Technology
The entire ICT infrastructure was also upgraded in order to improve ef ciency in the work of the Department. This has resulted in
increased capacity as well as improved security around the DMR network.

Table 1 indicates that there has been a 25% reduction of the fatality rates at all mines for the period under review. There were two
regions that succeeded to have a fatal free year, namely Western Cape and Eastern Cape. Two other regions managed to maintain
the same number of fatalities Northern Cape and Free State. The Free State had an increase in fatality rates (17.39%) while Northern
Cape had a reduction in the fatality rates (1.29%) and this is related to the decrease in the labour at work in the Free State region
while the Northern Cape has had an increase in the labour at work.

There has been a 26% improvement regarding fall of ground fatalities, from 65 in 2009 to 48 during 2010. Also, there has been a
reduction with the machinery, general transportation and mining fatalities of about 63%, 38% and 21% recorded during the period
under review. Although the abovementioned improvements have been achieved, the fall of ground, general, transportation and mining
still remain the major contributors to fatalities within the mining sector. This is an indication that there has to be more attention given
to the areas which lead to the potential of these accidents to occur in the mining industry.

PROGRAMME 2: PROMOTION OF MINE HEALTH AND SAFETY
76
Annual Report 2010/11
Purpose: Regulate the minerals and mining sector to ensure economic development, employment and ensure transformation and
environmental compliance.
Programme Objective: To transform the minerals and mining sector into one that competitively contributes to the sustainable
development in the country.
The Mineral Regulation Branch has now completed its fth year since inception. The 2010/11 nancial year was marked by signi cant
dynamics that impacted on the mining industry and will be deliberated upon. The primary function of the Branch is processing,
nalisation of applications, monitoring and evaluation of rights under the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002
(MPRDA).
The Department, through Mineral Regulation Branch, initiated the revision of internal business processes for applications in terms of
the MPRDA to enhance internal processes and improve service delivery.
The Branch commenced a process of addressing cases of double grantings or overlaps. This took the form of high level visits to
the Regional of ces and working through all the cases with the right holders. In addressing these cases, applicants were involved
with a view to demonstrating that there was no malicious intent. The process was conducted in a transparent, accountable manner.
Identi ed cases of double granting that were attended to (including unregistrable rights) were less than 120, out of a total of 26 000
applications that were processed since the implementation of the MPRDA, representing less than 1%.
Some of the errors were occasioned by consultants to applicants who submitted sketch plans with incorrect polygons leading to
overlaps. Regrettably departmental of cials were blamed when these matters were detected or reported. In other instances, changes
in property descriptions, inability of the National Mining Promotion System (NMPS) to effectively detect and manage competing
applications, gaps between appeals process and processing of applications have also contributed to these problems.
The Branch conducted compliance inspections during the moratorium period the results of which indicate the following:
Non compliance on the part of right holders with regard to failure to commence with prospecting activities within 120 days as • stipulated in the contract.
Cases of suspected fronting by some right holders, wherein misleading information was submitted leading to unsustainable • mining transactions.
Overuse of consultants by applicants to a disempowering extent. Some right holders could not be contacted because the entire • data was lost when the consultants’ services were discontinued.
Applicants who have not complied with their prospecting work programmes by engaging in extensive drilling, without amending • their work programmes and nancial provision for rehabilitation thus increasing the state’s exposure to risk.
Illegal drilling in some areas leading to increased hazards to communities, land owners, etc.•
Right-holders whose companies have been de-registered or liquidated and the Department (regulator) was not informed •
Holders of rights who cannot be traced or located.•
Diamond producers not registered with the South African Diamond and Precious Metals Regulator resulting in incompleteness • of information on diamonds mined and sold legally
Disposal of Rights without Ministerial consent in terms of Section 11 of the MPRDA•
PROGRAMME 3: MINERAL REGULATION
PROGRAMME 3: MINERAL REGULATION

Department of Mineral Resources
The BEE partners failing to attend pre-arranged site visits without valid reasons.•
Right holders continuously postponed inspection dates scheduled by Regional Of ces to the extent that of cials started making • inspection notices a directive; which yielded positive results.
Documents such as Environmental Management Programmes, Prospecting Works Programmes, and Annual progress / • performance reports not on site during visits.
Financial provision and performance assessment reports were not submitted annually by some mining companies and right • holders.
In some cases, right holders were operating without approved Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) •
Some right holders failed to apply for closure certi cates•
Challenges with denial of access to right holders by land owners.•
Procedurally, all cases of non compliance were followed by the issuance of Section 93 notices as well as section 47 (notices) which
relate to the procedure to remedy failures or the cancellation of the Right respectively. Due to the Departments zero tolerance attitude
towards non compliance, those who were found to have transgressed were and are being dealt with in the appropriate manner.
The South African Mineral Resources Administration System (SAMRAD)
The process of developing an integrated electronic system commenced during the 2009/10 nancial year. The system allows for a
process of an integrated management of information and improved management of the mining industry. Due to the NMPS system
limitations, a decision was taken to expand the new SAMRAD system within the Department, starting with the Mineral Regulation
branch.
The mandate was for the Mineral Regulation Branch to rstly develop a transparent online application system that makes it possible
for the public to freely view the spatial locality of the applications in terms of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act
“MPRDA” (Act 28 of 2002), for them to check the status of their own applications. Secondly, to develop a system that eliminates the
risk of spatial error, and thirdly, ensures uniform standards and procedures when processing applications.

PROGRAMME 3: MINERAL REGULATION
86
Annual Report 2010/11
Purpose: To formulate mineral related policies and promote the mining and minerals industry of South Africa thus making it attractive
to investors.
Measurable objective: Through research, provide relevant information that will enhance global competitiveness, review policies and
formulate legislation in order to achieve transformation and attract new investment into South Africa’s minerals industry.
Service delivery objectives and indicators:
The performance of the mining industry for the period 2010 demonstrated signi cant recovery from the preceding implosion of
the global economic and nancial crisis. To this extent, the aggregated extraction rate grew at a phenomenal 5.8% relative to a
contraction experienced in the preceding year. This performance con rms our view that recovery is now well underway and that the
next commodities boom has begun in earnest.
Synchronously, employment in the mining industry shrunk by 5.1% in 2009, although employment of women grew by a staggering
11% in the same year. The employment of women in the sector started from a low base, indicating that efforts to diversify the
workforce are beginning to bear fruits. In 2010, total employment grew by 1.2%, with women employment growing by a further 15.6%.
Total employment in mining reached 498 055, falling marginally short of breaking through the half a million threshold. Employment
in mining continued to grow during the year, and will continue to do so in the future, given the current interventions that are aimed
at positioning this industry along a sustainable growth trajectory resulting in further creation of decent jobs, in line with the national
developmental priorities. These interventions include the development of a national mining sector strategy, the bene ciation strategy
as well as the reviewed Mining Charter.
The Branch successfully led the development of a “strategy for the sustainable growth and meaningful transformation of South
Africa’s mining industry”, which recognises that the country missed an opportunity to leverage from the previous commodities boom
due to a number of binding constraints to growth. This strategy identi es a set of modalities of mitigating against such constraints
and further emphasises the mutual inclusivity of competitiveness and transformation. The strategy is currently serving before Cabinet
processes and should be approved in the course of 2011.
The mineral bene ciation strategy was presented to the Inter–Ministerial Committee on Economic development, Employment and
Infrastructure, at which we were directed to consult relevant economic departments as part of expediting the process of nalising the
document. Such consultations have been done and the document will be ready to serve before Cabinet during the second quarter
of the nancial year.
A Cabinet approval was sought to use the African Exploration, Mining and Financing (Pty) Ltd (AEMFC) as a nucleus for the
establishment of State Owned Mining Company. The work on hiving off the AEMFC from its current wholly owned status by the
Central energy Fund is already at the advanced stage and will culminate into establishment of the AEMFC as a standalone entity.
The management of derelict and ownerless mines is a key deliverable of the Department given the serious challenges that the
country faces from such mines, especially as it includes problems related to acid mine drainage. Following the Minister’s approval
of the strategy for the management and rehabilitation of mines, the Branch has since developed a rehabilitation procedure manual
which will be approved in 2011. As part of the rehabilitation programme, ve sites were successfully rehabilitated during the 2010/11
nancial year, creating a total number of 221 employment opportunities. 10 sites have been prioritised for 2011/12 nancial year and
work in this regard is already underway.

Audit Committee Responsibility
The Audit Committee reports that it has, during the year under review, adopted the reviewed Audit Committee Charter in line
with the requirements of Sections 38(1) (a) and 77 of the Public Finance Management Act, Act no. 1 of 1999 and Treasury
Regulation 3.1. The Audit Committee further reports that it has satis ed its responsibilities for the year and has conducted its
affairs in compliance with its charter.
The effectiveness of internal control
The department has designed the system of internal control to provide cost effective assurance that the department’s goals
will be economically, effectively, and ef ciently achieved. In line with the requirements of the PFMA, the International Stan-
dards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing issued by the Institute and Internal Auditors, and the King III Report
on Corporate Governance, Internal Audit provided the Audit Committee and management with assurance that the internal
controls are appropriate and effective. This was achieved by means the provision of both the assurance and consulting
services on the risk management, governance, and control processes. From the various reports of the internal auditors,
recommendations were made to management to address issues as reported. The Audit Committee has also reviewed the
activities of the Compliance Of ce which, amongst others, include risk management. The Audit Committee was also satis ed
with the content and quality of monthly and quarterly reports prepared and issued by the Accounting Of cer during the year
under review.
Accordingly, with the exception of the reported de ciencies and deviations, we can report that the system of internal control
over nancial reporting for the period under review was adequate, effective and ef cient.

2010/11 AFS Department of Mineral Resources
REPORT OF THE ACCOUNTING OFFICER FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2011
1. General review of the state of nancial affairs
During this reporting period, the department engaged in a process of re-de ning and realigning its internal and administrative
processes, policies and procedures for effectively responding to its focused mandate and good progress has been made in this
arena. The focus was also on lling the gaps created as a result of the split in order to strengthen the human capacity within
the support services function.
In its efforts to improve and integrate its services as well as introducing a long-term solution to the issues reported by the
Auditor- General on revenue administration, the department made a good investment and acquired a system for automating
the administration of the mineral resources. The rst module has been completed while the remaining ones (including revenue
management) will be nalised in 2011/12.
Subsequent to the split of Department of Minerals and Energy (DME), the Department of Mineral Resources assumed the role
of a transferring department and drew up a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) for splitting the assets and liabilities of the DME
as set out in section 42 of the Public Finance Management Act. The Financial Accounting and Reporting guide on Transfer of
functions issued by National Treasury during 2010 was followed as well as the MoA both Accounting Of cers signed during the
transition period (2009/10 nancial year) was taken into account. The MoA was presented to the Department of Energy and
discussions were held in order to agree on the entire inventory list. The DMR Accounting Of cer has since signed the nal MoA
and it has been sent to Department of Energy.
During the year under review, an amount of R7,974 million has been reported as irregular expenditure. Off the total report
R7,224 million was picked up during the audit process and has therefore not been condoned. R3,125 million of that amount
relates to the restructuring of an operating lease to nance lease while R3,701 million was incurred as a result of acquiring
goods and services without following proper procurement procedures. The matter has been referred to National Treasury for
investigation.
In an effort to eliminate cases of non-compliance with the departmental procurement policy and procedures, the following
measures have been implemented:
A monthly report on suspected irregular expenditure is drafted and circulated to all responsibility managers by the Finance
component.
Responsibility managers report back to Finance indicating disciplinary measures taken against the transgressors
The Accounting Of cer only grants condonation based on the corrective measures taken by the Responsibility Manager.
Spending outlook
The department was appropriated a total budget of R995.842 million. An amount of R326,505 million was allocated towards
Compensation of Employees, R210,311 million towards acquisition of goods and services, R438.781 million for transfer to
Public and Private Corporations,
Report by the Accounting Of cer to the Executive Authority and Parliament of the Republic of South Africa.

2010/11 AFS Department of Mineral Resources
The department’s budget was fairly shared by the public entities under the control of the ministry and the departmental programmes
and translated into R 437.626 (44 %) and R558.216 (56 %) respectively.
While the department had allocated R326,505 million of the total budget to Compensation of Employees, R326.457 million was
utilized for the reporting period. The spending not only relates to the employees currently on the establishment but costs associated
with contractual employees, interns and learners.
An amount of R206.504 million was used against a budget of R210,311 million to defray cost of goods and services acquired for the
realization of departmental programmes during 2010/11. The costs relating to computer services registered an amount of R21million
while consultants and contractors costs amounted to R17 million. The costs that are driven by personnel such as travelling, inventory
etc recorded spending in relation with the personnel numbers. The venues and facilities, catering and administrative costs recorded
at low levels owing to the cost containment measures that remain in force.

2. Service rendered by the department
2.1 The missionThe mission of the Department of Mineral Resources is to promote and regulate the Mineral and Mining energy sector for
transformation, growth, development and ensure that All South Africans derive sustainable bene t from the country’s wealth.
In order to achieve the above mission the department is split into four key programmes, which are responsible for; amongst
other things:
- ensuring safe mining of minerals under healthy working conditions – Promotion of Mine Health and Safety
- regulating the minerals and mining sector to promote economic growth, employment, transformation and
sustainable development – Mineral Regulation
- Formulating mineral related policies and promote the mining and minerals industry of South Africa thus
making it attractive to investors – Mineral Policy and Promotion
- Support services mainly focus on providing support service to the department
2.2 Tariff policy
Historically, the tariffs used to be levied in terms of the Minerals Act, 1991 (Act 50 of 1991), for State owned Mineral Rights.
The tariffs were and are predetermined and approved by National Treasury. Prospecting fees and royalties are globally
competitive and do not inhibit the initiation of new mining industry projects.
Exploration fees
The exploration fees were charged in terms of the Minerals Act, 1991 (Act 50 of 1991) where the State was the holder of the
mineral rights before 1 May 2004. The approved rates, as from 1 April 2003, started at R3, 00/hectare for the rst year and
escalated at R1, 00/hectare for the maximum period of 5 years determined by a prospecting lease. For any renewal period,
the fee doubled and escalated at R2, 00/hectare/year thereafter. For offshore exploration the same rates applied but for
square kilometers.
REPORT OF THE ACCOUNTING OFFICER FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2011
104
2010/11 AFS Department of Mineral Resources
Due to the promulgation of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, Act 28 of 2002 (MPRDA), new prescribed
rates apply on all new prospecting rights granted including privately owned land as from 1 May 2004 – see regulation 76 of
the new MPRDA. Rights already granted at the time of promulgation, will continue with prospecting fees as set out above.
Exploitation fees (Royalties)
Until the Royalty Bill which came into effect 1 March 2010, any new mining rights granted from 1 May 2004 carry no royalties,
the royalties payable were 1% of gross revenue for all minerals and 5% of gross revenue for diamonds for existing rights.
Minimum royalties
Minimum royalties were payable, as a “deposit”, in advance whether mining takes place or not in any speci c year, the State
would receive a measure of a return for any “mining permission” granted. Minimum royalties, as always, may be offset against
actual royalties payable. The general formula for the determination of minimum royalties has been levied at “ten” percent
of the average annual royalties payable in terms of the business plan submitted. The collection of royalties has since the
implementation of the Royalties Act moved to SARS. The Department is however nalising the collection of outstanding fees
that were receivable prior to 1st March 2010.
2.3 Free servicesThis does not apply to the department.
3. Capacity constraintsDuring the period under review, the department experienced serious and diverse capacity challenges especially in both
support services and service deliver programmes. With regards to Support services, securing funding and timely recruiting
and lling positions that resulted from the split of Department of Minerals and Energy was the major challenge, while the line
function battled with loss of human capital as a result of inability to retain the professional staff, especially Inspectors and
Mineral Economists. The implementation of Resolution 3 of 2009 also aggravated this challenge and it also created structural
problems in relation to reporting lines.
In addressing some of the capacity constraints, the department managed to implement a number of training programmes
as identi ed in the Workplace Skills Plan namely the Secretarial Development Programme, Project Management for Middle
Management, Advance Management Development Programme and the Emerging Management Development Programme,
Executive Development programme. The department also implemented a coaching and mentoring programmes, as well talent
management strategy.
4. Utilisation of donor fundsThe department did not receive any donor funds during the period under review.
5. Trading entities and public entitiesThe department continues to monitor the performance of the entities under its control with speci c reference to governance
and nancial management. The table below illustrates the performance of the entities reporting to the Minister of Mineral
Resources in relation to the Auditor General’s report for 2009/10 nancial year. It is clear from this report that the nancial
controls and monitoring systems put in place are beginning to bear fruits. During 2010/11 the department continued with
its oversight over these entities. Although the Auditor-General’s report for 2010/11 will only be nalised in July 2011, it is
expected that the entities will continue in this path.

8. Corporate governance arrangementsThe department has continued to strengthen its checks and balance mechanisms so as to ensure compliance with the
relevant legislation, ef ciency, governance, risk management, and internal control processes.
To maintain its independence, the Internal Audit Activity appropriately reports administratively to the Accounting
Of cer and functionally to the Audit Committee. The Unit’s authority includes unlimited access to all the staff,
information, as well as properties of the Department. The Function obtains its mandate from the Internal Audit
Charter, which was reviewed and approved in the reporting period. The Unit developed and obtained the approval
of its plans, i.e. the annual plan as well as the rolling three-year strategic plan. The plans were based on key
risks facing the Department and also took into consideration other factors such as the Auditor-General’s prior
year’s reports, management’s as well as the Audit Committee’s requests, etc. The status of the progress on the
performance of the audits on the annual plan was presented to the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis.
The audits conducted during the year were mainly compliance, information technology, performance and
performance information, and nancial. The Unit also performed investigations that originated from management
requests and those from other organs of the state such as the Public Protector and the Presidential Hotline.
The Unit’s operations are guided by the requirements set out in the legislative prescripts (e.g. the PFMA and the
Treasury Regulations) and the standards set by the relevant professional bodies (e.g. the Institute of Internal
Auditors).
The department has established an Audit Committee in terms of Section 77 of the PFMA. Four (4) members were
appointed into the Department’s Audit Committee, which included all the three (3) members that constituted the
former Department of Minerals and Energy’s Committee. The members of the Audit Committee have the requisite
knowledge and competence to deal with nancial, risk management, governance, ethical and other matters that
pertain to its responsibility. The Committee operated in line with its Charter, which was reviewed and approved in
the reporting period. During the nancial period under review, the Committee met four (4) times. The matters tabled
for consideration by the Committee included the review of nancial statements, the Auditor-General’s management
letters, reports and activities of the Internal Audit Activity and the Risk Management Of ce, and matters that relate
to compliance with laws, regulations and policies.
The department continues to minimise risks that it is exposed to by ensuring that all major risks are proactively
identi ed, assessed and managed to acceptable levels. The Department’s risk committee continued in its oversight
role of risk management activities in the department. A strategic risk assessment workshop was conducted in order
to identify the array of risks the department is exposed to. As a result of this exercise all branch risk pro les were
developed and responsibilities for managing these risks were assigned to management and staff. Risk pro les
developed from the assessment process are used to inform the department’s internal audit plans. The department
continued to implement its fraud prevention and anti corruption strategy which is in line with minimum anti corruption
capacity requirements.
During the year the accounting of cer was compliant with the general and reporting responsibilities respectively
detailed in sections 38 and 40 of the Public Finance Management Act 1 of 1999 as amended. The department has
also not had cases where con ict of interest was reported in its administrative processes.
9. Discontinued activities/activities to be discontinuedThe split of the erstwhile Department of Minerals and Energy has resulted in the transfer to certain functions from the DMR
to the Department of Energy. The affected functions are:
REPORT OF THE ACCOUNTING OFFICER FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2011
107
Hydrocarbons, Energy Planning and Cleaning programme – transfer to Department of Energy since 01 April 2010
The activities in relation to this programme included:
- Promoting sustainable use of energy resources through integrated energy planning, developing policies and
regulations and
- Managing petroleum, coal and natural gas sectors
Electricity, Nuclear and Clean Energy Programme – transferred to Department of Energy since 01 April 2010
The activities in relation to this programme included:
- Developing, implementing and monitoring electricity policies and programs
- Improving the governance of the nuclear sector, speci cally in relation to nuclear safety, nuclear non-proliferation
and nuclear technology.

promoting the clean development mechanism activities.
10. New/proposed activitiesThe department will continue with its current activities and no new activities will be added during 2011/12 nancial year.
11. Asset managementAll assets procured during the year have been captured on the assets register. The asset register has also been successfully
reconciled with the nancial accounting system of the department. The detail to this item is presented in notes 30 to 32 in
the Annual Financial Statements.
12. InventoriesOpening, movements and closing balances for inventories were properly captured and are reported accordingly in Annexure
5.
13. Events after the reporting dateThere are no events after the reporting date noted for reporting.
14. Information on predetermined objectives A Quarterly Monitoring Report (QMR) on Performance Information is submitted to the Director-General for approval on a
quarterly basis.
These quarterly reports highlight areas of concern for noting while also presenting interventions already in pursuit. Each
branch head submits performance information with a signed compliance declaration. The Strategy Risk & Monitoring (SRM/
Compliance Of ce) is responsible for analysis of performance information. This analysis examines performance across the

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL TO PARLIAMENT ON VOTE NO 31: DEPARTMENT OF MINERAL RESOURCES REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Introduction I have audited the accompanying nancial statements of the Department of Mineral Resources, which comprise the
appropriation statement, the statement of nancial position as at 31 March 2011, and the statement of nancial performance,
statement of changes in net assets and cash ow statement for the year then ended, a summary of signi cant accounting
policies and other explanatory information, as set out on pages 139 to 186.
Accounting of cer’s responsibility for the nancial statementsThe accounting of cer is responsible for the preparation of these nancial statements in accordance with the Departmental
Reporting Framework prescribed by National Treasury and the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act, 1999
(Act No. 1 of 1999) (PFMA, and for such internal control as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of
nancial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor- General’s responsibilityAs required by section 188 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Act No. 108 of 1996) and section 4
of the Public Audit Act of South Africa, 2004 (Act No. 25 of 2004) (PAA), my responsibility is to express an opinion on these
nancial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and General Notice 1111 of 2010 issued in
Government Gazette 33872 of 15 December 2010. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the nancial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the nancial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the nancial statements in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the nancial statements.
I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is suf cient and appropriate to provide a basis for my quali ed audit opinion.
Basis for quali ed opinion
Receivables for Departmental RevenueSection 38 (1)(a)(i) of the PFMA requires that a department has and maintains effective, ef cient and transparent systems of
nancial and risk management and internal control and section 38(1)(c) of the PFMA requires that an accounting of cer of an
department take effective and appropriate steps to collect all money due to the entity.
The receivables for departmental revenue balance of R72,2 million (2010: R72,5 million) included in disclosure note 24 to the
nancial statements, is misstated as a result of omissions in respect of payments received and not recorded, amounts due
not being raised and incorrect interest calculations on outstanding balances. The department did not identify and correct all
the errors that exist in the balance as a result the extent of the error cannot be determined. The department’s records did not
allow me to perform alternative audit procedures to satisfy me of the receivables for departmental revenue. Consequently, I
was unable to obtain suf cient appropriate audit evidence to satisfy myself as to the existence, completeness, valuation and
allocation of and rights pertaining to the receivables for departmental revenue balance.

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR - GENERAL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2011
110
2010/11 AFS Department of Mineral Resources
RevenueThe department could not provide suf cient appropriate audit evidence to support journal entries of R50,4 million debited
to revenue. The journal entries were based on total receipts from royalty debtors without reconciling the payments received
to outstanding debt balances thereby understating the revenue amount. Further, the credit entries in the revenue account
include receipts from prospecting fees that have not been appropriately reconciled to outstanding receivables balances. There
were no satisfactory alternative audit procedures that I could perform to obtain reasonable assurance that all revenue was
properly recorded. Consequently, I did not obtain suf cient appropriate audit evidence to satisfy myself as to the completeness,
accuracy and classi cation of revenue of R30,3 million.
PayablesDue to the limitations identi ed in the paragraph above I am also unable to conclude on the existence, completeness, valuation
and allocation of and obligations pertaining to the payables balance to the amount of R53,5 million. The department’s records
did not permit the application of alternative audit procedures regarding the payables balance.
ProvisionsIncluded in note 29, impairments and other provisions, to the nancial statements are receivables for departmental revenue
debt balances that are outstanding for longer than three years amounting to R36,3 million (2010: R36,5 million), which the
department impairs in accordance with its policy on impairments. I am unable to obtain suf cient appropriate audit evidence to
conclude on the existence, completeness, valuation and allocation and obligations of the other provisions balance due to the
limitation reported in paragraphs 7 and 8 above on receivables for departmental revenue debt balance,.
Contingent liabilitiesThe contingent liabilities, as disclosed in note 19 to the nancial statements, include the department’s obligations in respect of
abandoned mines. The department is and has been conducting rehabilitation activities in respect of the abandoned mines in
accordance with the National Strategy for the Management of Derelict and Ownerless Mines in South Africa. The department
is still in the process of establishing a nancial estimate of the liability with the result that management has taken a decision not
to disclose a provision in this regard. The department’s records did not permit the application of alternative audit procedures
regarding the department’s obligation in respect of abandoned mines. Consequently I was unable to obtain suf cient
appropriate audit evidence to satisfy myself as to the existence, completeness and valuation of the contingent liabilities and
the corresponding impact on the provisions balance.
Quali ed opinionIn my opinion, except for the possible effects of the matters described in the Basis for quali ed opinion paragraphs, the
nancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the nancial position of the Department of Mineral Resources as at
31 March 2011 and its nancial performance and cash ows for the year ended, in accordance with Departmental Reporting
Framework prescribed by National Treasury and the requirements of PFMA.
Emphasis of matters I draw attention to the matters below. My opinion is not modi ed in respect of these matters:
Restatement of corresponding guresAs disclosed in notes 23, 24, 29 to the nancial statements, the corresponding gures for 31 March 2010 have been restated
as a result of an error discovered during 2011 in the nancial statements of the Department of Mineral Resources at, and for
the year ended, 31 March 2010.
Material lossesMaterial losses to the amount of R5,8 million were incurred as a result of the assets that could not be veri ed during the asset
veri cation process conducted for the nancial year ended 31 March 2011.

AccrualsAccruals which exceed the payment term of 30 days as detailed in the Treasury Regulation 8.2.3 amount to R41,1 million.
This amount, in turn, exceeds the voted funds to be surrendered of R1,1 million as per the statement of nancial performance
by R40 million. The amount of R40 million would therefore have constituted unauthorised expenditure had the amount due
been paid in time.
Additional matters I draw attention to the matters below. My opinion is not modi ed in respect of these matters:
Unaudited supplementary schedulesThe supplementary information set out on pages 175 to 186 does not form part of the nancial statements and is presented
as additional information. I have not audited these schedules and, accordingly, I do not express an opinion thereon.
Financial reporting frameworkSection 20(2)(a) of the PAA requires me to express an opinion on the fair presentation of the nancial statements of the
Department of Mineral Resources. As the nancial reporting framework applied by the department is a compliance framework,
this would have resulted in my opinion stating that the nancial statements were prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with the applicable nancial reporting framework, but for this requirement.
REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS In accordance with the PAA and in terms of General Notice 1111 of 2010 issued in Government Gazette 33872 of 15
December 2010, I include below my ndings on the annual performance report as set out on pages 27 to 96 and material
non-compliance with laws and regulations applicable to the department.
Predetermined objectives There were no material ndings on the annual performance report concerning the presentation, usefulness and reliability of
the information.
Compliance with laws and regulations
Annual nancial statements, performance and annual reportThe accounting of cer submitted nancial statements for auditing that were not prepared in all material aspects in accordance
with generally recognised accounting practice and supported by full and proper records as required by section 40(1) (a)
and) (b) of the PFMA. Certain material misstatements identi ed by the Auditor-General South Africa with regards to various
account balances and disclosure notes were subsequently corrected, however the uncorrected material misstatements
resulted in the nancial statements receiving a quali ed audit opinion in contravention of section 40(3)(a).
Revenue ManagementThe accounting of cer did not develop and implement appropriate processes that provide for the identi cation,
collection, recording, reconciliation and safeguarding of information about revenue to ensure that all money due to the department
is collected as per the requirements of section 38(1)(c)(ii) of the PFMA and Treasury Regulation 7.2.1.
Expenditure ManagementThe accounting of cer did not take effective steps to prevent irregular expenditure, as per the requirements of section 38(1)
(c)(ii) of the PFMA.
The accounting of cer did not immediately upon the discovery of irregular expenditure report it to the relevant treasury as per
the requirements of section 38(1)(g) of the PFMA.
Payments due to creditors were not always settled within 30 days from receipt of an invoice as per the requirements of
section 38(1)(f) of the PFMA and TR 8.2.3.

INTERNAL CONTROL In accordance with the PAA and in terms of General Notice 1111 of 2010, issued in Government Gazette 33872 of 15 December
2010, I considered internal control relevant to my audit, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of internal control. The matters reported below are limited to the signi cant de ciencies that resulted in the basis for quali ed
opinion and the ndings on compliance with laws and regulations included in this report.
• Leadership
Ongoing monitoring and supervision undertaken to enable management to determine whether internal controls over nancial
reporting is present and functioning were not adequate which led to the material uncorrected and corrected misstatements on
the nancial statements and non compliance with laws and regulations.
The uncorrected misstatements that form the basis for the quali ed audit opinion are as a result of management not
implementing timely corrective action to address internal control de ciencies.
• Financial and performance management
There is inadequate record keeping as a result complete and accurate information is not accessible and available to support
nancial reporting. The department does not have appropriate systems of internal control relevant to the nature of the
operations, as a result appropriate estimates for provisions could not be determined.
There are inadequate controls over the daily and monthly reporting processing and reconciling of transactions.
Although the department has extended signi cant effort to address the root causes that resulted in the previous year’s audit
quali cation on the receivables for departmental revenue nancial statements balance, the lack of an appropriate debtors’
management system still proved a challenge in the current year resulting in an audit quali cation in the current nancial year.

19.2 Contingent liabilities in respect of Rehabilitation of ownerless and derelict mines
Potential Liabilities in respect of the environmental rehabilitation comprises of two scenarios: potential liabilities arising from
derelict and ownerless mines, where no provision was made by the miner for the rehabilitation of the environment. The
responsibility for rehabilitation of these sites reverts to the state. During 2007/8, the department nalised the process of
quantifying the State’s potential liability for derelict and ownerless mines. Owing to the fact that it has not been possible to do
a detailed assessment of the environmental and safety conditions of all thousands of entries in the database of D&O Mines,
and also for the fact that it would not be practical to obtain a detailed cost estimate for rehabilitation of these mines, a number
of assumptions had to be made to enable the estimation of the rehabilitation costs. Potential alternatives to rehabilitation
such as:
• development of abandoned mines into tourist attractions,
• productive non-mining land use on mine sites,
• re-issuance of mining permit or rights etc,
were as well not explored and such developments on these mines may change the potential liability by the state and hence
the amount of this obligation could not be measured with suf cient reliability. The other scenario relates to potential liabilities
arising from the Miner’s inability to restore the environment back to its original state subsequent to mining activities – where
provision was made either through a trust fund, bank guarantees or cash guarantees.

33.3 Action taken to ensure compliance with PFMA s42 The inventory lists of all the assets and liabilities were drawn up and les and substantiating records as per the provision
of section 42 of the PFMA. Owing to the need to verify physical assets in all the various regions by both departments, this
process was nalised in May 2011. It should be noted that Auditor-General (SA) audited all other aspects of the transfer,
except the part of the assets.
Subsequent to the split of Department of Minerals and Energy (DME), the Department of Mineral Resources assumed the role
of a transferring department and drew up a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) for splitting the assets and liabilities of the DME
as set out in section 42 of the Public Finance Management Act. The Financial Accounting and Reporting guide on Transfer
of functions issued by National Treasury during 2010 was followed as well as the MoA both Accounting Of cers signed during
the transition period (2009/10 nancial year) was taken into account. The MoA was presented to the Department of Energy
and discussions were held in order to agree on the entire inventory list. The DMR Accounting Of cer has since signed the nal
MoA and it has been sent to Department of Energy.
