EXHIBIT 10.1

AND

STARVING LION, INC.

This Exclusive Option Agreement (this “Agreement”) made this 14th day of August, 2018, among Starving Lion, Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation (the “Seller”) and Star Alliance International Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Buyer”).

WHEREAS, the Seller is the owner of certain mining rights in Guatemala and the rights to a certain proprietary gold extraction process, all as more specifically listed on Schedule 1 (the “Assets”); and

WHEREAS, the Buyer desires to secure the exclusive right to acquire the Assets from the Seller on the terms and conditions set forth herein,

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants, representations and warranties contained herein, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1. SALE OF ASSETS.

1.1 Irrevocable Option to Purchase the Assets. The Seller grants to the Buyer the irrevocable option to acquire all of Buyer’s right, title, and interest in and to the Assets under the terms and conditions of this Agreement for a period of six (6) months from the date of this Agreement (the “Option Period”). If Buyer choses to exercise this option during the Option Period, it shall do so by giving written notice thereof to the Seller in writing. Upon exercise of the option granted hereunder, at the Closing (as defined in Section 2.1 below) to be held pursuant to Section 2 below, the Buyer shall remit the Purchase Price (as defined in Section 1.2, below) to the Seller, and the Seller shall validly transfer all right, title and interest in and to the Assets to the Buyer, on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2.1 below).

1.2 Purchase Price. The Purchase Price to be paid by the Buyer for the assets shall consist of:

1.2.1 US $1,000,000 to be transmitted to the Seller in the form of a wire transfer, cashier’s check, or such other form reasonably acceptable to the Seller (the “Funds”); and

1.2.2 The issuance to the Seller of new common stock in the Buyer representing fifty-eight percent (58%) of the Buyer’s issued and outstanding common stock on a post-closing basis (the “the Shares”). At the option of the Seller, the Shares may be issued, in whole or in part, in the form of a newly designated preferred stock in the Buyer with voting and conversion rights rendering such preferred stock the equivalent of the common stock which would have otherwise been issued to the Seller.

1.4 Post-Closing Capital Structure. Immediately following the Closing, the Shares shall represent 58% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Buyer on a fully diluted basis to include all (i) issued and outstanding Common Stock, (ii) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any convertible notes, preferred stock, or similar instruments, (iii) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all warrants, options, or similar instruments, and (iv) any other shares of Common Stock which, as of the Closing Date, the Buyer is or may, at the sole option of others, be obligated to issue. The number of Shares to be issued to the Seller at the Closing shall be calculated on the date of the Closing such that the number of Shares issued at the Closing represent an equity ownership of 58% of the Buyer on a fully diluted basis, as defined above, as of the Closing Date. The Shares shall, at the option of the Seller, consist of shares of Common Stock in the Buyer, shares of Preferred Stock in the Buyer convertible to common stock, or a combination thereof. To the extent the Seller elects to receive all or a portion of the Shares in the form of shares of Preferred Stock in the Buyer, the form of the Certificate of Designation for such Preferred Stock shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller and shall include conversion rights such that the shares issuable upon conversion of all such Preferred Stock, together with any shares of Common Stock received by the Seller, shall represent an equity ownership of 58% of the Buyer on a fully diluted basis, as defined above, as of the Closing Date. Any shares of Preferred Stock received by the Seller shall vote together with the common stock of the Buyer on an as-converted basis on all matters subject to a vote or consent of the shareholders of the Buyer.

This Agreement and any such other agreement or instrument, upon execution and delivery by the Buyer (and assuming due execution and delivery hereof and thereof by the other parties hereto and thereto), will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws from time to time in effect which affect creditors' rights generally and by legal and equitable limitations on the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies against the Seller under or by virtue of this Agreement or such other agreement or instrument.

14.2 Planned Bond Offering. Upon completion of the Buyer’s anticipated private offering, and upon delivery of the technical reports and appraisals of the Bridge Mine and the El Chocon Mine, all as discussed in Section 14.1, above, the Buyer will undertake a bond offering for the purpose of funding the further development of the El Chocon and Bridge Mines, as well as for acquisition of additional mining operations and assets. The parties anticipate that the bonds to be offered will feature a 10 year term, pay annual interest at a rate of 5% to 8%, depending on market conditions, and be issued in the total amount of $50 million to $100 million, depending on the property appraisals and relevant market conditions.

Assets

A. Bridge Mine Mining Rights. Bridge Mine is located 41.5 km from Guatemala City on the Atlantic Highway CA-9 in the department of El Progreso, having proven gold reserves amounting to 189,580 ounces. Additionally, the deposit at Bridge Mine contains inferred reserves of a minimum of 150,000 ounces to be assessed fully upon further exploration. Bridge is an extension deposit of the “El Sastre” Mining Complex, and the “La Puya” mine.

B. El Chocon Mine Mining Rights. El Chocon is located 307 km from Guatemala City on the Atlantic Highway CA-9 in the department of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, with proven Magnesite ore reserves amounting to 10,000,000 tons.

C. Genesis Process. A gold extraction process following the conventional principles of heap leaching for the extraction of gold in oxidized minerals, accelerating the rate of dissolution of gold to nearly an immediate rate, reducing the standard time of extraction from about 40-120 days to a mere 24 – 76 hours, and providing immediate technical solutions to difficulties caused by fine materials, resolving the need to agglomerate, speeding the extraction of gold to 400 times faster than conventional heap leaching.
