Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 4, 2026) - Trillion Energy International Inc. (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (FSE: Z62) ("Trillion" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has fulfilled a near-term cash commitment of US$250,000 toward its earn-in obligations for a 29% participating interest in the M47c,d oil block, an onshore exploration asset located in southeastern Türkiye. This payment will be applied against the work program commitments previously outlined in the Company's March 31, 2026, press release.

About the M47c,d Oil Block

The M47c,d oil block (the "Block") covers approximately 450 km² within the Cudi-Gabar petroleum province, one of Türkiye's most active onshore oil regions. Block M47C3,C4 is located approximately 11 km southeast of Türkiye's largest onshore light oil discovery, the Şehit Aybüke Yalçın 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 10-12 kilometre 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.
