Voyageur Minerals Ltd.
(TSX.V:VM)
(the “Company” or “Voyageur”) is pleased to announce that its joint
venture company ImagingX Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“ImagingX”) has
submitted its first product for registration with Health Canada.
Health Canada is a federal regulatory agency for approval of drugs,
equivalent to the FDA in the USA.
The first product is a barium sulfate oral
suspension used in commuted tomography scans (CT)
of the abdomen to delineate the gastrointestinal tract in
adult and pediatric patients. Due to its high molecular
density, it is opaque to x-rays and therefore, acts as a positive
contrast agent for radiographic studies.
ImagingX is in the process of adding two other
barium contrast products for registration. A total of three barium
sulfate suspension products will be registered with Health Canada.
Upon receipt of Health Canada registration, ImagingX will begin
marketing and sales of the products across Canada. ImagingX's
market strategy is to sell into the Canadian market, followed by
the USA and international healthcare markets.
