This #ThrowbackThursday, we celebrate one year since CM Solutions achieved a significant milestone: becoming officially registered to handle ores and materials containing radionuclides.  Recognising the growing demand for critical minerals, rare earth elements, and energy-transition commodities, this registration enables us to provide metallurgical test work and analysis services to mining operations, concentrators, and refineries that handle radioactive materials, supporting their process development and optimisation.  Over the past year, our nuclear license has enabled us to provide value through:  ✅ Radioactive ore characterisation and flowsheet development   ✅ Advanced assay, purity testing, and impurity removal using ICP-OES and wet chemistry techniques   ✅ Waste and tailings analysis   ✅ Test work and flowsheet development for commodities containing radioactive elements     As demand for uranium, rare earths, and other energy-transition minerals continues to grow, CM Solutions remains committed to helping our clients navigate increasingly complex metallurgical challenges.     #CMSolutions #CMSMetLab #CriticalMinerals #MetallurgicalTestwork #Hydrometallurgy #RareEarths #Uranium #Metallurgy #processdesign 

Join Nicholas du Preez, Head of Consulting at CM Solutions, for this full-day Modelling with Cycad Process® workshop at the SAIMM Uranium Conference 2026. The objective of this workshop is to introduce participants to developing mass and energy balances using Cycad Process®. Delegates will build a typical uranium processing plant from milling through to yellowcake, including discussions on incorporating mineralogy data and test work results into the balance. #CMSolutionsMetLab #CMSolutions #SAIMM #UraniumConference2026 #Uranium #CycadProcess #ProcessEngineering #ProcessModelling SAIMM - The Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy

To mark Mandela Day, CM Solutions once again welcomed final-year Extractive Metallurgy students from the University of Johannesburg of Johannesburg to our MetLab.     The visit gave students practical insight into how metallurgical test work, hydrometallurgy, analytical chemistry, process design and data interpretation come together to support mining projects. Through guided laboratory tours, they followed the journey from sample preparation to flowsheet development, seeing how laboratory results are translated into engineering decisions.     A key message from our Innovation Manager Jasper Christie’s presentation was the importance of flowsheets as more than technical diagrams. He explained how the work done in the lab, combined with the expertise behind CM Solutions, has helped shape some of the most profitable and scalable decisions for major mining operations.  We're proud to support initiatives that help bridge the gap between university and industry, giving future metallurgists valuable exposure to real-world practice.    #CMSolutions #CMSolutionsMetLab #ExtractiveMetallurgy #Metallurgy #MineralProcessing #Hydrometallurgy #MandelaDay #FutureMetallurgists

Stephen Van Huyssteen, Process Consultant at CM Solutions, will be presenting at the SAIMM Uranium Conference 2026, taking place from 19–20 August in Swakopmund, Namibia. Co-authored with Nicholas du Preez, the presentation titled "Designing uranium heap leach circuits with limited test work availability: A modelling-focused approach”, explores how Cycad Process® can reduce design uncertainty by integrating laboratory test work with dynamic process simulation. #CMSolutions #CMSolutionsMetLab #SAIMM #Uranium #HeapLeaching #ProcessModelling #Hydrometallurgy #Metallurgy #MineralProcessing SAIMM - The Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy

Last week, the CM Solutions team came together to mark our 23rd birthday.   "We've come a long way in a relatively short space of time," says CEO Ben Knights. "Of course, our journey hasn't been without its dips and challenges. But we've been fortunate to grow alongside an incredible team, valued clients and trusted partners. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the CM Solutions story."   #CMSolutions #CMSolutionsMetLab #Hydrometallurgy #Metallurgy #MetallurgicalTestwork #ProcessDevelopment #MineralProcessing #MiningIndustry #TeamCulture

Frank Crundwell will be giving a keynote in next year's #Hydrometallurgy27 conference organised by MEI Conferences, 10-11 June 2027. #cmsolutionsmetlab #cmsmetlab #hydrometallurgy #extractivemetallurgy #metallurgy #miningindustry #mineralprocessing

Today, as we celebrate another CM Solutions birthday, we take a moment to look back.   This video is a throwback to our 2023 milestone celebrations, when we marked 20 years of consulting and 10 years of our MetLab. In this short clip, our CEO, Ben Knights, shares the story behind the beginnings of our MetLab.   #cmsolutionsmetlab #cmsolutions #metallurgicaltestwork #metallurgy #hydrometallurgy #mineralprocessing #processdesign #flowsheetdesign Frank Crundwell Nicholas du Preez Jasper Christie Given Khosa Janet Smith Graeme Betty Stephen Van Huyssteen Thapelo Tshamano Karen Field Sisipho Mqoqi Ezechiel NK Kiboko Zian Hoek Edwin Olivier mandla radebe nerita sunker Karabo Mothupi Nakiwe Dlamini Mpho Tlou Thendo Nemakhavhani Hitekani Mmola hloni masopa Mana Buthelezi
