CALGARY, Oct. 04, 2019 - Voyageur Minerals Ltd. (TSX.V:VM) (the “Company” or “Voyageur”) is pleased to announce the formulation and registration submission to Health Canada for its new drug product, HDXBa
A total of two products have been submitted for registration with Health Canada:
- SmoothX barium sulfate oral suspension used in commuted tomography scans (CT) of the abdomen to view the gastrointestinal tract in adult and pediatric patients.
- HDXBa is a specially formulated high density dry barium powder. HDXBa is engineered to be mixed with water to create a barium sulfate suspension for radiographic oral consumption. HDXBa is used during X-ray procedures to view the upper gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, duodenum).
Including the above mentioned products, ImagingX is formulating and preparing to submit three more products named MuliX, MultiXthin, and MultiXthick.
ImagingX is developing multiple products including:
- Low Density Barium Smoothie - SmoothX

- Powdered Low Density Barium - MultiXBa
- High Density Barium Powder - HDXBa
- Modified Barium Swallow, 5 products - BarX
- Iodinated Contrast - IoX
Barium Sulfates unique high molecular density and inert properties result in creating products that are opaque to x-rays and therefore, acts as a positive contrast agent for radiographic studies.
Voyageur’s CEO, Mr. Brent Willis states that, “Voyageur is moving forward and making good strides to implement its new strategy of becoming a fully integrated pharmaceutical company. Our team has implemented a new mission statement that clearly reflects Voyageur’s business model, “From the Earth to the Bottle.” With the recently signed joint venture in place with world-class pharmaceutical manufacturer, Chief Medical Supply Ltd., the Company is functioning as envisioned and contrast sales are expected to commence in the near term. We have initiated our strategy and achieved all our stated milestones along with key catalysts over the prior year.

Upon achieving production of Voyageur’s own high purity API mineral sources, we expect to have a clear competitive advantage to begin growing our market share. The combination of our expertise in minerals, fused with the pharmaceutical expertise of CMS, we have the pieces in place to start growing an exciting, very unique healthcare business.”
We are also pleased to confirm that Voyageur’s Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders has been set for November 12th., 2019. Among other things, shareholders of the Company will be voting on a name change from Voyageur Minerals Ltd. to “Voyageur Pharmaceuticals Ltd”.
