CVMR® is a privately held, metal refining technology provider that is also engaged in mining and refining of its own mineral resources in 18 different countries. The company was established in 1986, with its head office and R & D Centre in Toronto, Canada.

CVMR® is a world leader in metal powder production used in 3D printing, Metal Injection Molding (MIM), super alloys, complex net shapes, electronics, rechargeable batteries, manufacture of aerospace and automotive parts, medical instruments, pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements.

In producing these products, CVMR® uses its proprietary technologies and refining processes based on what is known as “vapour metallurgy.” The company’s name and trademark, CVMR®, is an acronym derived from its principal refining processes, “Chemical Vapour Metal Refining.”

CVMR® is Engaged in:

  • Mining and metal refining some 36 metals, using proprietary vapour metallurgy processes and technologies and its own mineral resources in Africa, the Far East and North America;
  • Manufacturing high value metal powders, nano-powders, complex net shapes and super alloys;
  • Providing feed materials for 3D Printing (Additive Manufacturing) and Metal Injection Moulding (MIM)
  • Manufacturing graphite films on nickel or iron substrates, using cold-wall chemical vapour deposition (CVD) from a mixture of hydrogen and methane
  • Manufacturing graphene and graphite from CO2, CH4, and Anthracite
  • Creating graphite flakes coated or imbedded with nano-metal powders
  • Refining of lithium in chloride-based brine, sulphate-based brine, fossilized brine clay deposits and spodumene. The process can easily and economically overcome the magnesium and boron barriers in refining of lithium. It allows reagents to be recycled making it quite suitable for locations where logistics would be of major concern
  • Producing refined elements for nano-flow-cell vanadium batteries, and batteries based on various combinations of lithium, manganese oxide (LMO); lithium, manganese, nickel oxide (LMNO); lithium, nickel, cobalt, aluminum oxide (LNCA)
  • Refining Rare Earth Elements (REE), using a proprietary vapour metallurgy process instead of hydrometallurgy acid leaching extraction currently used in the REE refining industry
  • Refining of both sulphide and laterite ores
  • Providing a range of technologically innovative solutions to the mining, refining and metal powder manufacturing industries.
