VM Voyageur Pharmaceuticals Ltd

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, MultiXBa. ImagingX Pharmaceuticals Ltd (“ImagingX”), a Voyageur joint-venture company described below, has submitted a total of three products for registration to Health Canada, with two more products anticipated to follow in the near term.

MultiXBa is a specially formulated low density dry Barium powder. It is engineered to be mixed with water to create a Barium Sulfate suspension for oral consumption to aid in radiographic X-ray procedures to view the upper gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, duodenum). MultiXBa is similar in composition to HDXBa; however, the barite has been selectively ground to 1 - micron size. MultiXBa will provide ultra-fine particle distribution for superior coating of the GI Trac.

ImagingX is continuing to develop multiple products and is currently developing its Iodine contrast. ImagingX intends to submit two additional Barium products to Health Canada in the near term: 

MultiXthick -     High Density Liquid Barium 

MultiXthin -       Low Density Liquid Barium
