CM Solutions Metallurgical Consultancy and Laboratories
We started in 2002 as a consulting practice in extractive metallurgical providing front-end engineering design and optimization services. In 2013 we opened a metallurgical laboratory to support this work. Both the consulting practice and laboratory have thrived by working together as a single team. We have worked in copper, cobalt, nickel, platinum-group metals, zinc, lead, and many other metals. Our clients include Anglo American, Lonmin Platinum, Impala Platinum, First Quantum Minerals (Kansanshi), ERG Africa (Boss Mining, Chambishi Metals, Metalkol), Hatch, Bateman, Worley Parsons, SNC Lavalin, and many, many more. The consulting practice has done due diligence work, contributed to NI 43-101 reports, and performed technical audits, forensic investigations, and optimization studies. The laboratory work covers the physical processes, such as crushing, grinding, gravity separation, flotation and classification, and the hydrometallurgical processes, such as leaching, precipitation, solvent extraction and electrowinning. We have integrated our analytical services into our team approach towards laboratory projects. We are ISO 9001 and 14001 certified.
