Trillion Energy International Inc. (" Trillion " or the "Company ") (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62), is pleased to announce an operational update for the SASB offshore gas project, Turkey.
During January 2025 the Company completed installation of new velocity string tubing in two wells located on tripods (Alapli-2 and Bayhanli-2) in an operation that took approximately two weeks' time.
Previously, the Company completed installation of new tubing in four wells on the Akcakoca platform during the fall of 2024. A total of 6 wells have now received the new smaller tubing size to mitigate water loading conditions.
The tripod wells continue to receive nitrogen injections to stimulate production, however, operations have been delayed over the past few weeks due to stormy winter weather conditions. Both Alapli-2 and Bayhanli-2 initially responded positively to the ongoing operational efforts, however, stable long-term flow rates have yet to be sustained.
The Company is currently preparing to stimulate the Akcakoca-3 and South Akcakoca-2 wells in the upcoming week using nitrogen, upon suitable weather conditions arriving.
The Company has sourced a gas lift compressor system for the Akcakoca platform which will provide continuous gas lifting injection to certain wells to assist in production.
Additionally, the Company plans to enhance production by installing:
These strategic interventions involving artificial lift are critical to sustaining long-term production rates and optimizing well performance and are expected to occur in the upcoming months.
About the Company
Trillion Energy International Inc is focused on oil and natural gas production for Europe and Türkiye with natural gas assets in Türkiye. The Company is 49% owner of the SASB natural gas field, a Black Sea natural gas development and a 19.6% (except three wells with 9.8%) interest in the Cendere oil field.

HIGHLIGHTS
CEO, Luke Cox, commented:
“It’s a great pleasure to be delivering these exceptional gold results from our Island Gold Project December drill programme. These first 10-holes of the planned 40-hole drill programme have highlighted mineralisation thickening and increasing grade down plunge compared to the near surface gold mineralisation. Even more encouragingly, multiple stacked lodes were intersected by this drilling.
“Identical structural settings are present in historical workings at the New Orient Gold Mine in the north and at Shamrock in the south, and these fertile structures have been mapped at multiple locations within the host banded iron formations along the five kilometres of strike connecting these historic workings; providing numerous additional greenfield targets and highlighting an enlarged scale to the project.
“The Phase 2 RC drill programme will continue to test this highly prospective structural corridor through Baxter, Golconda and Vadrians Hill, before moving north to test additional cross-cutting structures, with the objective of delivering a potentially significant Island Gold Project maiden resource in the coming months.”
Gold Mineralisation
At the Island Gold Project (IGP), gold mineralisation occurs along a strike length of 5km from the New Orient Gold mine in the north to the Skipper prospect in the south within the IGP Corridor (Figure 1). The IGP Corridor is 700 to 1,000m wide and contains multiple BIFs up to 30m thick, which are the preferred host rock for gold mines in the Murchison. Prior to the Company’s recent Phase 1 drill programme, drilling was limited to an average depth of 70 vertical metres below the surface. Phase 1 RC drill hole 24IGRC009 intersected two thick sequences of mineralisation including 28m at 6.4 g/t gold from 114m down hole and 27m at 3.0 g/t gold (Table 1), highlighting the potential of the highly prospective 5km long by 1km wide IGP Corridor to host multiple significant gold ore bodies.

Figure 2. Long section along eastern most Banded Iron Formation (BIF) highlighting gold mineralisation, plunging high-grade shoots and drilling constrained to less than 100m vertical depth.
The IGP gold mineralisation and structural setting is displaying similarities to the high-grade gold deposits in the prolific +15Moz Murchinson Goldfields, with the key factors for high quality gold deposit formation being BIF host rocks and cross-cutting structures controlling high-grade gold lodes present at the Company’s IGP.
High-grade gold mineralisation appears to be associated with a series of en’echelon vein sets that have developed obliquely to the strike of the brittle and reactive host BIF. These en’echelon vein sets trend NNW-SSE and are sub-vertical to steep west dipping and are controlled by a major cross-cutting structure which also trends NNW-SSE (Figures 2 and 3).
High-grade gold mineralisation is controlled primarily by these major NNW-SSE structures, with ‘reef- style’ high-grade gold quartz lodes also developed in fold structures where the axial plane of the fold trends 330° to 350° and fold hinges plunges 45° to 60° to the NNW.

The initial sighter level metallurgical tests provide a positive insight to the beneficiation characteristics of the manganese mineralisation discovered at Wandanya using feed grades similar to those at Woodie Woodie that routinely use DMS as part of its ore processing circuit.
Black Canyon’s Managing Director Brendan Cummins said:
“Completing this early stage metallurgical testwork and generating a high grade, low impurity concentrate, in excess of the premium 44% Mn oxide benchmark, has been a great achievement and start to 2025. The style of high-grade hydrothermal manganese mineralisation we have discovered at Wandanya lends itself to the application of density-based beneficiation techniques with manganese minerals being denser than the less dense dolomite host rocks. The testwork confirmed our expectation that the mineralisation would beneficiate in a similar manner to the hydrothermal ores processed at Woodie Woodie and demonstrates the potential to produce a high quality manganese concentrate for the silico and ferro alloying industry and as feedstock for high purity manganese sulphate (HPMSM).”
“We continue to learn more about the W2 manganese prospect with these additional layers of analysis and we are quickly building a greater understanding of the prospect’s potential. My main conclusion to date has been the simplicity of the geology, with shallow high-grade mineralisation and now we have demonstrated how readily the manganese can be upgraded using a simple and established density-based process. Our immediate focus is to complete a Heritage Survey and then further drilling down dip and along strike so we can understand the full scale and significance of the discovery.”
“We have only drill tested 240m of strike or less than 10% of the 3km long manganese target based on mapping and rock chip sampling2. This is why we are very keen, following the west season, to get the rig back to site as soon as possible and test not only the manganese targets but also the recently announced high-grade iron mineralisation we have mapped over 2km adjacent to the manganse3.”

Heavy Liquid Separation Testwork
Testwork samples were selected from about 110kg of RC drill chip samples collected from the W2 drilling program completed in September 20241. Whilst diamond core would be preferable to RC drill chips, for this early-stage sighter level beneficiation testwork, the processing of RC chips does provide initial concentrate grade and recovery data that can be applied to more detailed diamond core based testwork when available.
To facilitate representative examples of mineralisation, the drill chip samples were collected from six holes, with two holes each from a northern, central and southern drill line along 240m of drilled strike. A moderate and high composite grade of 20% Mn and 40% Mn was targeted based on the average intersection around 30% Mn with reasonably distinct moderate grades in an upper zone and higher grades closer to the footwall. The mineralised intervals were all intersected from less than 10m depth. All the samples were crushed to -10mm and then combined as required to produce a moderate (WD01MG) and higher (WD02HG) grade composite.
