Voyageur is developing barium and iodine Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) for cost-effective, high-performance imaging contrast agents. With a strategy to vertically integrate these markets, Voyageur plans to produce its own barium and iodine and is also advancing new endo fullerene drugs. Its business plan begins with sales through partnerships with third-party GMP pharmaceutical manufacturers in Canada, ensuring global regulatory validation, before transitioning into a high-margin domestic manufacturer of radiology drugs. Voyageur owns 100% of the Frances Creek barium sulphate (barite) project, a rare high-grade mineral resource suitable for pharmaceutical use. Unlike current synthetic products, Voyageur believes its barite will deliver superior imaging quality. The company’s goal is to be the first vertically integrated radiology contrast media producer, controlling raw material sourcing through final production—living its motto: “From the Earth to the Bottle.”

- Pilot Plant & Production Goals: Plans include deploying a pilot 200-tonne-per-year iodine extraction unit, with potential to scale production to 1,000 tonnes annually. Current iodine flake prices are about US$70,000/tonne.
- Full Supply Chain Integration: The project supports Voyageur’s strategy to vertically integrate radiology contrast media from raw mineral extraction (barium and iodine) through to drug manufacturing, reducing reliance on foreign supply chains dominated by Europe and China.
- National Security & Market Demand: With 3.6 billion diagnostic exams conducted annually worldwide and demand for iodinated contrast media expected to double in the next decade, Voyageur is positioning itself to secure domestic supply, supported by U.S. government funding programs and partnerships with iodine contrast media companies.
