We are a dynamic research and development laboratory, specializing in metals and mining applications.
Our goal is to employ novel techniques to solve complex mining and metallurgical challenges, driving towards heightened techno-economic returns, and playing an active role in advancing the global energy transition.
Our Expertise
Metallurgical and Mineral
Lab Services
Canadian Critical Minerals Research’s (“CCMR”) bench and pilot-scale laboratory facilities offer a diverse suite of analytical and process improvement services for metals, mining, and metallurgical investigations. Our expert team comes from a wide range of heavy industrial experience including mining, manufacturing, construction and operations and grass-roots technology research and development.
Through a modern tool base and scientific inquiry, we aim to provide valuable insights for decision-making, product development, quality control, and compliance. Trust our precision and efficiency for all your project development needs.
-
Sampling procedures and materials characterization are fundamental to project development success. We employ advanced analysis techniques to ensure the “fingerprint” of a project is well understood, before executing any scope of work.
-
Through our diverse backgrounds, we have employed dewatering techniques across a wide range of materials, processes, and technologies. We apply a best-fit technology selection process to ensure that technical and economic justification can be provided for equipment selection and for the development of mass balances and process flowsheets.
-
Effectively and economically managing tailings production and deposition is a crucial facet of any mining operation and their ability to gain and maintain social license amidst changing regulatory regimes. CCMR works to integrate often disparate disciplines to develop alternative, holistic tailings management strategies and to ensure by-products from mineral processing are safely handled within the context of being a responsible, profitable operator.
-
By interrogating engineering and laboratory programs at prior phases of project development, CCMR often identifies optimization opportunities that can be validated through fundamental research. By integrating site visits with brownfield projects, this life-cycle becomes full circle between concept, design and operations, and maintenance.
Why Choose Us?
Our Team
Our team is built from a collective background of operations, research and consulting, and practical equipment manufacturing experience to provide an in-depth, well-rounded understanding of each project's unique needs.
Our Experience
CCMR’s strategic positioning in Kamloops, BC, has allowed us to construct a facility capable of handling, and processing large, multi-phase projects. Through a tight network of vendors and partners on our 3-acre campus, we can quickly manufacture custom equipment needed for projects and implement them without delay.
Our Infrastructure
While we are focused on advancing specialized niche applications, CCMRs expertise is back-stopped by the CEC Group of Companies back office, allowing us to leverage big company infrastructure and project management/administration.
We’re a dynamic, experienced team dedicated to excellence.
Specializing in handling bench and pilot-scale laboratory projects for mid-tier and large mining companies, our team's strength lies in its profound knowledge of metallurgy, mineral processing, and solid-liquid separation research.
