Of 000 Xxxxxxx Xxx., Xxxxx 000X, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (the "Seller"), and Xxxxx Xxxxx of 000 Xxxxx xxx, Xxxxxxxxx, XX, 00000, and StoneVest Mining of 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx,Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (together referred to as “Purchaser”). The parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
WHEREAS,
the Company is authorized to issue: 500,000,000 shares, and the Company
109,289,003 issued and outstanding as at June 5, 2023;
WHEREAS, the Seller and Purchaser are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the rules and regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (The “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, and amended (the “1933 Act”);
WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell to Purchaser upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, and Purchaser desires to purchase from seller one (1) Special 2021 Series A Preferred Stock at par value of $0.001, in exchange for $475,000 payable in notes payable (The Note). The Special 2021 Series A Preferred Stock has (60%) majority voting rights over all classes of stock at all time. Each one (1) of the Special 2021 Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to 60% of total votes or 300,000 votes, whichever is greater. Each one (1) of the CONVERTIBLE Special 2021 Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock;
WHEREAS, the one (1) Special 2021 Series A Preferred Stock shall control 300,000 votes, or 60% of total votes whichever is greater. After conversion, each converted share is equivalent to each of the issued and outstanding common shares of Guyana Gold Corp., a Nevada Corporation (the “Shares”)(the “Transaction”);
WHEREAS, the purchase contract/agreement will be deemed effective upon its signing. The closing date, which marks the transfer of control, will occur on the earlier of: (a) 24 months from the date of agreement execution, or (b) 5 days after the purchase price has been completely paid to the seller; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, the Company and Purchaser agree as follows:
1. Purchase of the Shares. On the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company hereby agrees to sell to Purchaser and Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from Company, the Shares.
2. Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for the Shares shall be four hundred seventy-five thousand ($475,000) dollars (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be payable in cash, or Notes maturing within 24 months of the acquisition, upon execution of this Agreement.

3. Immediately after the execution of this agreement, Seller shall appoint Purchaser’s nominee to the position of President and Chief Operating Officer of the company. Seller shall retain all voting control of the Company and the authority to oversee the company’s Finance and Administrative functions including sole authority over shares issuance and cancellation.
4. Immediately after the closing of this deal (24 months from the date of execution of this agreement or the full paypoff of the purchase price to Seller, whichever is earlier), current management and board shall resign and appoint Xxxxxxxx as the Chief Executive Officer and sole director. The inclusion of a 24-month transition period is crucial as it provides Seller and Buyer with ample time to become acquainted with the SEC/OTC financial obligations, reporting procedures and compliance requirements applicable to a small filer/reporter like the subject entity.
5. While the $475,000 Note is outstanding, Purchaser shall not issue any share of the Company’s common stocks or preferred stocks to anyone or entity including employees and service-providers, except to use the issuance for acquisition of REVENUE-GENERATING businesses or Common stock issued to raise operating capital through Regulations A or S-1. Once the Note is fully paid, this restriction is automatically removed.
6. Closing; Closing Date. Subject to the conditions outlined herein, the Closing of the Transaction, which signifies the transfer of control to the buyer, shall take place on the earlier of two events: (a) 24 months from the date of agreement execution, or (b) 5 days after the seller receives full payment of the purchase price. The exact location for the Closing will be determined by mutual agreement between the parties involved. Upon the 25th month after this agreement's execution date or upon the seller's receipt of the full Purchase Price, the Company will deliver to the Purchaser the necessary documents that confirm ownership of the Shares, either to the Purchaser directly or to its nominees.
7. Possible 24 Months Transition Period. Both parties hereby represent and warrant that for the initial 24-month period following the execution of this agreement, any business or assets acquired and integrated into GYGC shall maintain independent operations, conducting only high-level monthly consolidation of financial statements. This means that each business shall operate autonomously, with no commingling of finances. Any funding provided by GYGC to the acquired business shall be treated as interest-bearing arm's length loans and accounted for accordingly. The interest rate for each loan shall be prime + 1.50% under all circumstances, without considering the borrower's borrowing capacity due to intercompany considerations. Either party has the right to terminate this agreement during the 24-month transition period, provided that a notice of two months is given to the other party prior to termination.
