Council increases mapping to drive South Africa’s exploration attractiveness

As part of government’s response to keep the South African economy afloat during the outbreak of Covid-19 and beyond, the Council for Geosciences (CGS) has been mandated to increase its country-wide survey to bolster South Africa as an exploration hotspot once the lockdown is over.

CGS CEO Mosa Mabuza says one of the key interventions undertaken by the CGS is the expedited implementation of the Integrated and Multidisciplinary Geoscience Mapping Programme (IMMP) from the 2020/21 to the 2022/23 financial years.
