What is a Mining Cadastre System? • A mining cadastre integrates the regulatory, institutional, and technological aspects of mineral rights administration and forms the cornerstone of good mineral resource management in a country • Efficient and effective procedures tend to be based on the following: •
A clear legal and regulatory framework
•
Well defined institutional responsibilities
•
Transparent procedures
Benefits of a Mining Cadastre System • Maximizes revenue collection from the minerals sector • Enhances investor confidence in the country • Ensures mining companies comply with all required legislation • All business processes consistent with Mining Law and Regulations • Transparency of first-come-first-served principle and other processes • Reduction in time to process and validate applications and renewals • Limits speculative and illegal practices • Provides gateway for provision of data and services to all stakeholders • Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) reporting
Implementation Challenges • Political Will • Vested interests in non-transparent processes • Ongoing Regulatory Changes • Large number of touch points, including external agencies
• Historic data quality • Managing interests of large scale and artisanal sectors • Managing interests of local and foreign business interests
• Infrastructure, especially in upcountry towns • User support • Date of the next election….

The exploitation of South Africa's mineral resources is at present affected by an inefficient process for the application of prospecting and mining rights – Peter Leon Sentiment circling the industry suggests there were vested interests that did not want Samrad to succeed. Whatever the truth is, the credibility of the department and its licensing unit has yet to be enhanced through the introduction of Samrad – Bill Feast
