HIGHLIGHTS
Aircore holes were drilled in east-west traverses across distinct gold anomalies defined by soil-auger sampling in both E15/1688 and E15/1689. Best results were returned from drilling into two large soil-auger gold anomalies within E15/1688; one representing the Fugitive Prospect and the other, referred to as the Anomaly 37 Prospect. Results from the Fugitive Prospect include:
Results from the Anomaly 37 Prospect include:
The latest aircore results and recent RC drilling results from the Fugitive Prospect (ASX:AWJ Announcement dated 4 June 2024) reaffirm the potential within E15/1688 in particular and provide further incentive to undertake deeper RC drilling in the Fugitive and Anomaly 37 Prospects.

Program and Results
A total of 71 aircore holes were drilled by Kalgoorlie-based Kennedy Drilling in July. Holes were drilled in traverses across distinctive gold anomalies defined by auger sampling within two tenements; E15/1688 and E15/1689 (Figure 1). Eighteen of the aircore holes infilled gaps in drilling in the soil-auger anomaly defining the Fugitive Prospect.
Samples were taken at 1m intervals and combined using a hand-held scoop into 4m composites for gold analyses via 25g aqua regia digest and mass spectrometer finish. The bottom of hole composite for each hole was also submitted for analysis of Au and a suite of 48 other elements via a 4-acid digest and ICP MS finish. Composite samples returning 100ppb Au (0.1g/t Au) or more were resampled as single metre intervals.
Fifty of the 1m samples returned assays of 100ppb Au (ie, 0.1g/t Au) or more. They are recorded as composite intervals in Table 1. Drill hole details are recorded in

Black Sea Asset Drives Significant Gas Revenue Growth as Company Prepares for Velocity String Installation
Trillion Energy International Inc. (" Trillion " or the "Company ") (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62) is pleased to provide this production update for oil and gas fields, highlighting robust performance and strategic developments.
During the month of August, the 100% gas production from SASB was about 133.13 MMcf giving a gross total of US$1,456,400 and a Trillion 49% value of US$713,640 with a realized Natural Gas price of about US$10.94. Trillion's gross oil revenue from Cendere is US$342,700. Trillion's total gross production revenue for August is US$1,056,340.
The gas revenue from SASB is 95% from Guluc-2 and South Akcakoca-2, both stabilized and 5% from West Akcakoca-1 which has not stabilized and produces intermittently. SASB's total average production for August was 4.6 MMcf/d. Akcakoca-3 well head pressure (WHP) has continued to increase to a current 583 psi compared to the initial WHP of 100 psi and early this week the well will be opened for a flow test.
Trillion Energy's August performance underscores the company's growing position in the European energy market. With the SASB gas field contributing significantly to revenue, Trillion is poised for future growth as it explores production optimization techniques. The potential installation of velocity string in the wells is expected to substantially increase gas production, mirroring the success of legacy wells that averaged 4.2 Bcf per well using 2 3/8" production tubing.
Trillion Energy is positioned to significantly enhance production through the installation of 2 3/8" velocity strings (VS), replacing the current 4 ½"tubing. This upgrade is expected to substantially increase gas flow rates. Everything is ready for changing out the production tubing from 4 ½" to 2 3/8" diameter tubing, velocity string installation (VS). To install the VS the wells have to be killed, but with the wells producing gas at these high daily rates killing the well is undesirable therefore the feasibility of installing the VS in a flowing well is being evaluated.
CEO Arthur Halleran stated:
"Trillion's August gross revenue of US$1.46 Million illustrates the future potential of increasing the monthly revenue once we have more than just two gas wells producing. The VS (2 3/8" production tubing) installation in all 6 wells will substantially increase the gas production at SASB. The 10 legacy wells at SASB between 2007 and 2021 produced a total of 42.19 Bcf of gas utilizing 2 3/8" production tubing, about 4.2 Bcf/well. We can expect the same with our wells once we put in the 2 3/8". Even with the 4 ½" production tubing we have produced 2.71 Bcf of gas from our 2022/23 wells. Our gas price is US$10.94/mcf whereas the Henry Hub Gas spot price is US$1.91."

Trillion Energy International Inc. (" Trillion " or the "Company ") (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62) is pleased to provide this production update for the SASB gas field.
SASB revitalization program is off to a great start having realized the complete payback of recent perforation costs in just 35 days of production. In first phase of workover all remaining gas pay on the Akcakoca platform was perforated including three long reach deviated gas wells Guluc-2, South Akcakoca-2, West Akcakoca-1 wells and the recompleted legacy well Akcakoca-3, all drilled in the 2022/2023 program. The wells started production over a staggered period from July 9 to July 28 and have already produced 140MMcf representing a 35-day payoff of the recent perforation CAPEX.
South Akcakoca-2 has been producing for 36 days, stabilizing at approximately 2.75 MMcf/d. Guluc-2 has produced for over three weeks with an average production of 2.0 MMcf/d and now produces at a stable rate of about 1.25 MMcf/d. West Akcakoca-1 has produced an average of 0.60 MMcf/d for over two weeks with some irregularities and has not yet stabilized. Akcakoca-3 was perforated and although gas flow did not initially occur the well head pressure ("WHP") has steadily increased from 100 psi to 478 psi and is therefore anticipated to start producing soon.
Gas production from the Akcakoca Platform has averaged 4.6 MMcf/d since the perforation program concluded.
CEO Arthur Halleran stated:
"The wells on the Akcakoca Platform have been completed successfully with gas production and WHP continuing to increase. This early return on our investment is a clear indicator of the field's robust production potential. The results are very positive, giving us good indications that decreasing the production tubing size from 4 ½" to 2 3/8" using velocity strings, should stabilize gas production at the targeted rates."
Trillion also announces that the Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the granting of stock options under its Stock Option Plan to purchase 8,800,000 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.14 per share for a five-year term expiring August 12, 2029. The stock options are being granted to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company.

Augustus Minerals has received new assays from ongoing field work and rock chip sampling programs conducted on the new Nero prospect at the Ti-Tree Project.
Mapping and field work is continuing to identify suitable drilling platforms for future programs to be conducted.
Figure 1 Prospects and VTEM Survey areas
New Nero Prospect
Mapping along structures 3.7km along strike northeast of Claudius (6.6% Cu, 86ppm Ag1) (Figure 1) has identified a new mineralised zone associated with quartz veining, malachite (secondary copper carbonate mineral) and iron oxide after weathered sulphide minerals.
Figure 2 Location of the new Nero Prospect in relation to the tenement geology and Claudius and Nero prospects
The new “Nero” zone, defined by 24 rock chips, has a strike length of 1.1km with copper grades up to 3.1% and silver grade up to 11g/t (figure 2).
The mineralised zone is comprised of multiple gossanous quartz veins which cut both the Moorarie Supersuite granites and later Mundine Well Dolerite dykes in a north to northeasterly direction (Figures 2 and 3). Often the quartz veins, which are up to 5m wide strike almost north-south, oblique to the northeasterly strike of the shear/fault zone. The mineralised veins are within the dolerite in the south of the prospect but trend to the east into the surrounding granite towards the north.
Copper was elevated over the entire length of the structural zone with 17 of the 24 samples assaying >0.1% Cu, and five samples >1% Cu with a maximum of 3.1% Cu from sample WA001357 (Figure 4). Along with elevated Cu assays, Nero contains silver to 11g/t and elevated levels of gold (0.10g/t Au in WA001336) (Table 1 and Table 2).
