Voyageur owns 100% interest in three barium sulfate deposits in British Columbia, including two properties suitable in grade for the industrial barite marketplace, as well as significant interests in a high-grade iodine, lithium & bromine brine project in Utah, USA.For more information, please view the InvestmentPitch Media \"video\" which provides additional information about this news and the company.

Using very simple and low cost technology that uses gravity to separate the waste rock from the barite is economically significant, resulting in grades unmatched anywhere in the world. The only other natural barium sulfate supplier that meets USP guidelines is based out of China. It can only export 5% of its production to world markets, reserving 95% of its production for the Chinese domestic market. Due to natural USP barite shortages world wide, the industry relies on expensive, chemically-manufactured, synthetic barium precipitate, with grades between 98% - 99.9% barium sulphate.Brent Willis, CEO, commented: \"Our ...
