History

One of the advertising leaflets for an XP materials exchange building set up by GabonXP Corporation in October 2020

FKA_Twink, Gobblin and BritishWanderer founded GabonXP Corporation in October of 2020 as a means to profit off of the ever-expanding XP market, they would go on to make their first sale on the 12th of October. The goal of the GabonXP Corporation was to produce affordable XP and ship it across the globe, this endeavour would be coupled with XP exchanges allowing individuals to trade in XP materials for emeralds and vice versa.

GabonXP Corporation would be opened to public investment on the 19th of December 2020 where any member of the public could purchase a share in the Corporation for just 4 diamonds per share, with the Corporation offering to pay shareholders a dividend every quarter. The initial prospectus offering of a total 200 shares for 800 diamonds was reached within just 5 days/

In October 2020, the Corporation would move into an official HQ building in Whitehaven, Salisbury in Gabon where they would operate out of, the location was chosen for its accessibility and quick access to the Corporation's agriculture facilities.

In the first quarter of operations (Q4 2020) the GabonXP Corporation smashed expectations set out by the Corporation's board and would be the Corporation's best quarter until Q2 2021.
