United States, 6th Mar 2026 –  In a joint communiqué, CVMR Corporation of Canada and Business Innovation Technology (BITEC) S.A.R.L. of the Democratic Republic of the Congo announced the execution of their joint venture agreement in the Democratic Republic of the Congo under the corporate name CVMR (R.D. Congo) S.A.R.L. (hereinafter referred to as “CVMR Congo”). The agreement is consistent with the well-established modus operandi of the CVMR group of companies which focuses on the evaluation, extraction, and in-country refining of critical minerals in partnership with the host governments, followed by the export of refined, value- added products to international markets. CVMR employs its proprietary Vapour Metallurgy technologies for the refining of critical metals. These technologies are designed to be environmentally neutral, minimizing environmental impact while achieving ultra-high-purity outputs. 

The strategic partnership between CVMR Corporation and BITEC is focused on gold, copper, nickel, coltan, iron, and cobalt in specific areas licensed by the DRC government. The agreement establishes a vertically integrated framework spanning exploration, mining development, and the deployment of CVMR’s proprietary refining technologies. This approach enables mineral resources to be processed domestically rather than exported in raw form for refining abroad, reinforcing local value creation while contributing to a more geographically diversified global refining landscape.

Under the agreement, CVMR and BITEC will collaborate on the evaluation, quantification, and development of their mineral concessions as well as the potential deployment of refining facilities based on CVMR’s Vapour Metallurgy platform. These technologies enable the production of ultra-high-purity metals and engineered products required by advanced manufacturing sectors, including aerospace, energy, electronics, and defense. The partnership further supports broader international efforts to expand refining capacity closer to the origin of resources, an area of increasing strategic importance as governments and industries seek to strengthen supply-chain resilience and reduce structural dependence on a limited number of refining jurisdictions.

“This partnership reflects CVMR’s long-standing commitment to enabling minerals rich countries to develop their mineral resources beyond extraction,” said Kamran M. Khozan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CVMR Corporation. “By introducing refining capability alongside resource development, we aim to support the creation of a complete value chain and contribute to long-term industrial capacity of DRC.”

BITEC’s CEO, Paul Makela, said “The partnership between CVMR and BITEC marks a new era for Congolese mining valorization, advancing reserve development, job creation, skills transfer, and industrial capacity. He added that it strengthens North America–Central Africa economicties and reinforces confidence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo as a strategic destination for high-technology mining investment.” The Democratic Republic of the Congo holds some of the world’s most significant deposits of strategic minerals, including copper, cobalt, tantalum, niobium, rare earth minerals, and other materials essential to modern energy systems and advanced technologies. The CVMR–BITEC partnership is intended to support responsible resource development while enabling greater national participation in downstream processing

and industrial transformation.
