The CSMI is one of three centres integral to the Wits Mining Institute, under the Directorship of Prof Fred Cawood. CSMI’s work is achieved by small core staff and a range of dynamic and committed associates, course facilitators and researchers.
We harness and share research knowledge on mining in Africa. Taking international good practice guidance, we interpret its relevance for Africa.

CSMI partners with institutions, organisations, companies and independent experts to achieve our goal of responsible mining. We have three key focus areas and three key work streams.
CSMI courses are also available as short courses. Students receive a certificate of attendance or a certificate of competence. These courses are of interest to practitioners, researchers, consultants, managers and regulators working in the field of environmental management, health and safety and mining.
Students from Environmental Science, Civil Engineering and Mining Engineering have found our courses of interest and of value to their careers. The outlines are available under Education and training.
