This is a transformative reverse merger taking SKBL from a Hong Kong construction contractor into a U.S.-backed critical minerals company with tungsten assets in Kazakhstan. The deal is highly conditional — requiring shareholder approval, SEC effectiveness, Nasdaq listing, HK business disposition, and at least $50M in PIPE proceeds remaining. The $23.1M loan from SKBL to Cove Kaz creates inter-party exposure. Monitor the registration statement filing and PIPE financing progress. The earnout structure (up to 45M shares tied to milestones including $1B market cap) creates significant potential dilution.
