As an investor since early Jan. 2007, I as well as others invested since then (and before) have seen many false starts and experienced many disappointments. The lack of adequate funding has posponed the completion of research and developement, FDA approval, and market introduction of this imaging modality. One that would ease the concerns of your patients with regard to radiation exposure as well as the discomfort of having those film holders we patients have to bite down on and endure in order for you dentists to get a picture. This alone is a good reason for this modality to be available to dentists.

We can only assume at this point that the company intends to fund the OCT/NIR internally from the funds generated from the gold and mineral(s) mining activities in Zimbabwe. This however, is just my opinion and expectation as I can see (imagine) the explosive revenue and value such a modality would generate for the company and its shareholders. This is what the CEO ("The Mineral King of Wallstreet") is looking for as he has stated in the most recent press releases and I am confident that he envisions the billions in revenue such a modality could and would generate. After all, it is the next generation in imaging, and LLSR posesses the rights to it (in the Dental Industry).

I look foreward to a more informed post to your querry and more so to press releases that will put all our questions to bed. Hopefully. Raptor I suspect is a means to an end. Or a new beginning.

It is my belief and concurrance that LLSR will not be a penny stock much longer. Once the company takes off, it's "To the Moon Alice". And like old motorcycles, sometimes stocks need to be rebuilt with new and modern internals in order to get to the top. At this point were still kicking this old knucklehead, but I have a feeling that with a couple more kicks, it going to explode to life and everyone will want it. It's going to be expensive. Just like an old knucklehead.
