TRILLION ENERGY ADVANCES EARN-IN PAYMENT AND ANNOUNCES ATTENDANCE AT EMERGING GROWTH CONFERENCE

Trillion Energy International Inc. has fulfilled a near-term cash commitment of $250,000 (U.S.) toward its earn-in obligations for a 29-per-cent participating interest in the M47C,D oil block, an onshore exploration asset located in southeastern Turkey. This payment will be applied against the work program commitments previously outlined in the company's March 31, 2026, news release.

About the M47C,D oil block

The M47C,D oil block covers approximately 450 square kilometres (km) within the Cudi-Gabar petroleum province, one of Turkey's most active onshore oil regions. Block M47C3,C4 is located approximately 11 km southeast of Turkey's largest onshore light oil discovery, the Sehit Aybuke Yalcin field, which contains oil in the same Beloka and Mardin Group carbonate reservoirs as M47. The region hosts significant established production, with approximately 100 analogue wells operating within a 10 to 12 km radius, targeting the same Mardin and Beloka reservoir intervals that Trillion plans to explore and evaluate on M47.

As previously announced on April 16, 2026, an independent third party resource evaluation identified meaningful contingent and prospective oil resources on the block, providing a strong technical foundation for the upcoming work program.
