About Voyageur Minerals

Due to the results of the Company’s drilling, and the high grade, of the Francis Creek deposit, the Company has chosen to pursue the barium contrast market.

To enter the barium contrast market the Company recognized that it needs the expertise required for the pharmaceutical market. To achieve this the Company has recently signed a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with Chief Medical Supplies Ltd. (“CMS” or “Chief”), which is a manufacturer, marketer, and distributor of numerous medical & pharmaceutical products to both the agricultural industry and the health industry, to form a joint venture between Voyageur and CMS for the manufacturer and distribution of barium contrast solutions. 

Voyageur is a Calgary based company which owns 100% interest in three barium sulfate ("Barite") deposits including two properties suitable in grade for the industrial barite and pharmaceutical market place, and interests in two high grade lithium brine projects in Utah, USA.

Voyageur's business plan is to enter the pharmaceutical market, with the high grade barite deposit discovered at Frances Creek, BC, Canada, while it continues exploration for critical and strategic minerals.
