1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

September 17, 2026, Trio Petroleum Canada, Corp. (“Trio Canada”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Trio Petroleum Corp (the “Company”),

entered into a Farmout Agreement (the “Agreement”), with Croverro Energy Ltd. (“Croverro”), pursuant to which

Croverro has granted to Trio Canada the right to earn working interests in the petroleum and natural gas rights within certain properties

in Alberta and Saskatchewan so described in the Agreement (“Farmout Lands”), through the funding by Trio Canada of up to

seven earning programs (“Earning Programs”), with each such Earning Program intended to drill and equip two test wells within

areas chosen by Trio Canada and Croverro on the Farmout Lands. Croverro will provide notice to Trio Canada regarding the first such Earning

Program by October 1, 2026 (the “Initial Earning Program”), and if Trio Canada so chooses to participate in such Earning

Program, Trio Canada will provide Croverrio with a prospect fee in the amount of $450,000 (“Prospect Fee”), or, if Trio Canada

chooses not to participate, the Agreement will be deemed to be terminated in accordance with its terms.

After

the completion of the Initial Earning Program, Trio Canada will have the option participate in up to an additional six Earning Programs.

Trio Canada will be given the option to participate in each such subsequent Earning Program, and if at any time Trio Canada chooses not

to participate in any such Earning Program, Croverro will no longer have an obligation to offer Trio Canada the option to participate

in any further Earning Programs (subject to certain exceptions as noted in the Agreement). In the event Trio Canada does not participate

in all seven potential Earning Programs, Croverro will reimburse Trio Canada a pro rata share of the Prospect Fee for any Earning Programs

Trio Canada did not participate. In connection with each Earning Program, Croverro will act as the initial operator for operating procedures

applicable to each such Farmout Lands, however Trio Canada will be permitted to take over such operatorship in the case of a change of

control or termination of key personnel at Croverro.

For

each Earning Program for which Trio Canada shall participate, Trio Canada will be obligated to pay 100% of the drilling, completion and

equipping costs for such Earning Program (the “Earning Costs”). Upon completion of each Earning Program, Trio Canada will

then be entitled to 80% of Croverro’s pre-earning work interests of such Farmout Lands, including the test wells therein, until

the Earning Costs have been repaid, at which such time Trio Canada’s percentage will be decreased to 60% of such pre-earning work

interests (subject to the specific ownership and participation terms applicable to each project).

The

Agreement contains standard covenants and rights of the parties, including for certain “tag-along” rights, in the case either

party receives an offer from a third party to acquire their interest in the Agreement or in the Farmout Lands, and rights to areas of

mutual interest in the proximity to the Farmout Lands.

foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement,

2. Earning

Programs. Croverro hereby grants to Trio the right to

earn Working Interests in the petroleum and natural gas rights described in the Farmout Lands,

by funding up to 7 earning programs on the following basis:

(a) Initial

Earning Program. Croverro shall on or before October

1, 2026 by written notice to Trio, propose to drill, Complete and Equip two (2) Test Wells

on that portion of the Farmout Lands within an Area as chosen by Croverro (the “Earning

Program”), including the Farmout Lands within

such Area to be earned by Trio pursuant thereto (the “Earned Lands”).

Trio may, within 10 Business Days of receipt of the Earning Program notice, elect to participate

in such Earning Program and be responsible for any and all Earning Costs incurred by Croverro

with respect to such Earning Program. Concurrent with its election to participate in the

Earning Program, Trio shall pay to Croverro a prospect fee in the amount of CAD $450,000

(the “Prospect Fee”). Upon the

election of Trio to participate in the Earning Program and the payment of the Prospect Fee,

Croverro shall commence the Earning Program within 90 days and thereafter conduct the Earning

Program in accordance with Article 3.00 of the Farmout & Royalty Procedure. Subject to

Clause 8 of this Agreement, if Trio does not elect to participate in such Earning Program

within 10 Business days of receiving the Earning Program notice, Trio shall be deemed to

have elected to not participate in the Earning Program and this Agreement shall terminate.

(b) Earned

Interests. Subject to Clause 2(c) of this Agreement,

upon completion of the initial Earning Program Trio shall earn:

(i) 80%

of Croverro’s Pre-Earning Working Interests in the Test Wells and the Earned Lands,

until Payout of the Earning Costs paid by Trio in funding such Earning Program;

and

thereupon automatically converting to:

(ii) 60%

of Croverro’s Pre-Earning Working Interests in the Test Wells and the Earned Lands.

For

the avoidance of doubt, the Parties confirm that earning with respect to each Earning Program

shall occur upon the completion of such Earning Program, and shall be independent of any

subsequent Earning Program. Where Croverro holds less than a 100% Working Interest in the

Earned Lands, Croverro shall serve any and all required operation notices to third-parties

prior to serving the Earning Program notice and Trio’s share of Earning Costs and Croverro’s

Pre-Earning Working Interest shall reflect those third-party elections.

of Earning and Payout.

(i) The

Payout account under any Earning Program shall be calculated on a Test Well by Test Well

basis.

(ii) Croverro

shall maintain the Payout account in accordance with Article 6.01 of the Farmout & Royalty

Procedure and provide Trio with the written statements as provided for therein.

(iii) The

payment of the Prospect Fee shall not be included in the Payout account under any Earning

Program well.

(iv) If

a third party elects not to participate in a Test Well and is thereupon subject to a well

penalty pursuant to the applicable operating procedure, Trio shall be entitled to retain

the proceeds from the applicable penalty on production from the Test Well as provided for

in the applicable operating procedure in respect of the pre-Effective Date Working Interest

attributable to the non-participating third-party.

(d) Subsequent

Earning Programs. Within 30 days of rig release of

the second Test Well in the initial Earning Program, Croverro shall by written notice to

Trio, propose to drill, Complete and Equip two (2) Test Wells on that portion of the Farmout

Lands within another Area as chosen by Croverro including the associated Earned Lands with

such Test Wells. Such second Earning Program shall be subject to the same terms and conditions

in this Clause 2, other than the payment of the Prospect Fee. Subject to Clause 2(e) of this

Agreement, this Clause 2(d) shall continue until Croverro has issued Earning Program notices

in respect of 7 Earning Programs in the aggregate.

(e) Termination

of Earning Program & Refund of Prospect Fee. Subject

to Clause 8 of this Agreement, if Trio elects not to participate in any Earning Program proposed

by Croverro, Croverro’s obligation to issue additional Earning Program notices, and

Trio’s right to earn additional Working Interests in the Farmout Lands shall thereupon

terminate. In such event, Croverro shall, within ten (10) Business Days of such election,

refund to Trio a pro rata share of the Prospect Fee, being CAD $64,000 for each of the remaining

Earning Programs which Trio has not or does not participate in.

3. Application

of the Operating Procedure. Upon earning by Trio, such

Earned Lands shall become subject to the Operating Procedure and Croverro will be the initial

Operator under the Operating Procedure. Without in any way limiting the generality of Clause

1.02 of the Farmout & Royalty Procedure, prior to and while Trio is earning an interest

in any of the Farmout Lands, Clause 3.01 of the Farmout & Royalty Procedure and Articles

2.00, 3.00, 4.00, 5.00, 7.00, 8.00 and 9.00 of the Operating Procedure shall also apply,

mutatis mutandis, to this Agreement and shall be deemed to be incorporated herein.

(a) Subject

to Trio being permitted to legally operate under the Regulations, Trio shall have the option

to take over operatorship where Croverro undergoes:

(i) a

change of control initiated by William Kujat or his successors; or

(ii) any

of the Key Croverro Personnel terminate their employment, contracting, working or professional

arrangements (other than by death) with Croverro, or have such arrangements terminated by

Croverro, during the Earning Program phase.

For

the avoidance of doubt, the Parties confirm that the foregoing option to take over operatorship

is in addition to Trio’s rights to challenge for operatorship pursuant to Clause 2.03

of the Operating Procedure.

(b) From

and after earning hereunder, as to those portions of the Farmout Lands so earned, the Operating

Procedure (in its entirety) shall govern the relationship of the Parties.

4. Tag-Along

Right. In addition to and without limiting the generality

and application of Article 24.00 of the Operating Procedure, and in particular the Clause

24.01 Alternate B (Right of First Refusal), if either Party receives an offer from a third

party to acquire any or all of its interest in this Agreement or the Earned Lands, such Party

shall, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such offer, give written notice thereof

to the other Party and thereafter and if directed to do so by the other Party, make all reasonable

commercial efforts with the third party to include the other Party’s Working Interests

in this Agreement or the applicable Earned Lands in the proposed transaction.

5. Access

to Facilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

as may be contained within the Operating Procedure (including, without limitation, the provisions

of Article 6.00 thereof), insofar as Trio is taking its Working Interest share of Petroleum

Substances produced from Earning Wells in kind in accordance with Subclause 6.01A of the

Operating Procedure, Croverro shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the

transportation, handling, compression, disposal and processing of any of Trio’s production

and Trio shall pay its proportionate share of actual costs and fees associated with such

transportation, handling, compression, disposal and processing.

6. No

Interest Letter. Within ten (10) days of the execution

of this Agreement, Croverro will deliver to Trio a mutually agreed upon form of no-interest

letter from any claims of security interest in and to all of Croverro’s present and

after-acquired personal property.

7. Mutual

Interest Lands. Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause

4 of this Agreement but subject to Clause 8 of this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree to

an area of mutual interest being those lands comprising 1 mile surrounding the Farmout Lands

(“Area of Mutual interest”) whereby:

(a) with

respect to lands within the Area of Mutual Interest associated with those Farmout Lands which

have not yet been earned by Trio, the Parties shall offer each other the opportunity to participate

on the basis of Trio as to 60% and Croverro as 40%:

(i) any

lands jointly acquired by Croverro as to 40% and Trio as to 60% shall then be included in

the Farmout Lands, and Croverro shall issue such additional Earning Program notices in respect

of such after acquired lands as is commercially reasonable in the circumstances;

(ii) any

lands offered by Trio to Croverro in which Croverro declines to participate shall be acquired

solely by Trio and shall not be subject to this Agreement; and

(iii) any

lands offered by Croverro to Trio in which Trio declines to participate shall be acquired

solely by Croverro and shall not be subject to this Agreement.

(b) with

respect to lands within the Area of Mutual Interest associated with those Farmout Lands which

have already been earned by Trio, the Parties shall offer each other the opportunity to participate

for cost in the after acquired lands on the basis of Trio as to 60% and Croverro as 40%.

All such lands shall be governed by the Operating Procedure including the 300% non-participation

penalty provided for in Article 10.

8. Rivercourse

Area. With respect to the Farmout Lands in the Rivercourse

Area identified in Schedule “A”, the following shall apply:

(a) If

Croverro is able to negotiate the acquisition of the working interests of either or both

by Trio and any working interests so acquired shall be split between Trio as to 60% and Croverro

as to 40%. For example, if the working interests so acquired is 75%, such working interests

shall split 45% to Trio and 30% to Croverro; and

(b) If

Croverro serves Trio an Earning Program notice for the Rivercourse Area, Trio shall be entitled

to elect to not participate in such Earning Program and such non-participation shall not

terminate this Agreement under either Clauses 2(a) or 2(e) and Croverro shall refund Trio

$64,000, being the pro-rata portion of the Prospect Fee.

9. Miscellaneous.

Trio

Petroleum Announces Lloydminster Heavy-Oil Farm-In And Multilateral Development Program With Croverro Energy

14-well

multilateral development inventory across Alberta and Saskatchewan Canada combines existing production, re-entry potential and staged

development designed to recycle production cash flow into future drilling

Boca

Raton, Florida. - September 21, 2026 - Trio Petroleum Corp (NYSE American: TPET) (“Trio” or the “Company”),

today announced the execution of farm-in and development agreement with Croverro Energy Ltd. (“Croverro”), a Calgary-based

heavy-oil operator specializing in multilateral horizontal development in the Lloydminster region of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

The

transaction provides Trio with a relatively low-cost option to participate in a multi-year development earning program comprising up

to 14 new multilateral drilling opportunities - five in Alberta and nine in Saskatchewan - together with a re-entry and producing-property

acquisition.

Trio

believes the Croverro program is an important step in its previously announced strategy to build a substantially larger Canadian oil

and gas business through a combination of acquisitions, development drilling and strategic operating partnerships. In parallel with development

of the Croverro assets, and in furtherance of its stated growth strategy, Trio intends to continue evaluating and pursuing additional

oil producing-property acquisitions and development opportunities that complement its growing Canadian portfolio.

fundamental component of the transaction is that Croverro will remain the operator of the development program. Trio believes the combination

of Croverro’s specialized multilateral drilling expertise, familiarity with the assets, a substantial inventory of development

opportunities and a staged capital program designed to use cash flow from earlier production to contribute toward subsequent drilling,

provides Trio with the potential foundation for a significant and scalable Canadian heavy-oil business.

Croverro

- A Specialized Lloydminster Multilateral Operator

Trio’s

decision to pursue the opportunity was driven not only by the expected quality and scale of the assets, but also by the opportunity to

align with Croverro as operator.

Croverro

has developed specialized technical and operating expertise in the application of multilateral horizontal drilling to the thin, laterally

extensive heavy-oil reservoirs of the Lloydminster region.

Trio’s

development approach incorporates geological interpretation, seismic data, existing well control and reservoir modelling in the design

and execution of multi-leg horizontal wells intended to maximize reservoir contact and improve development efficiency.

Successful

multilateral development requires precise well placement, geo-steering (meaning the practice of adjusting a drill bit’s path in

real time based on downhole geological data), drilling execution and an understanding of how individual reservoir intervals behave over

the producing life of a well. Croverro has made this type of development a core component of its Lloydminster heavy-oil business. For

over twenty years, Croverro has generated revenues from operating multiple multilateral heavy-oil development programs in the region

and has continued to attract participation in subsequent development opportunities.

“In

June, we provided an update to the market on our growth strategy, and over the past several months, we have begun to implement that strategy,

highlighted by our new transaction with Croverro,” commented Robin Ross, Chairman and CEO of Trio Petroleum Corp. “Trio

is actively conducting extensive reviews of acquisition and development opportunities across Western Canada, supported by experienced

technical and operating professionals in Calgary and the Lloydminster region. We believe the Croverro opportunity represents a strong

combination of near-term development potential, scale and operating expertise that fits right into our growth plans. The program provides

a substantial inventory of multilateral drilling opportunities positioned for near-term development together with existing production

and re-entry potential. With Croverro remaining as operator, we believe the program provides a compelling platform for significant production

growth in the Lloydminster heavy-oil region. Croverro was one of the principal reasons Trio became interested in this opportunity. We

aren’t simply acquiring a collection of drilling locations; we are aligning ourselves with a highly experienced Lloydminster heavy-oil

operator that has made multilateral development a core part of its business. Moreover, our out of pocket investment to capture this opportunity

is relatively small compared to our cash on hand, creating the potential for a positive financial result for Trio. In short, we believe

Croverro is at the forefront of applying multilateral technology to conventional heavy-oil development in the Lloydminster region, and

their technical knowledge, local operating experience and demonstrated ability to drill and operate these specialized wells gives us

considerable confidence in the program. Having Croverro remain as operator is critical to our strategy. We believe we have the right

assets, the right development approach and, most importantly, the right operating team to execute it.”

Why

Multilateral Heavy-Oil Development Matters

Multilateral

wells consist of a primary horizontal wellbore with multiple lateral branches extending through the reservoir. This approach can be particularly

effective in the relatively thin, laterally extensive heavy-oil reservoirs common throughout the Lloydminster region that covers areas

of Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada.

placing multiple horizontal laterals into the reservoir from a common wellbore, an operator can substantially increase reservoir contact

compared with conventional vertical development.

Greater

reservoir exposure can improve oil drainage and recovery while allowing a larger volume of reservoir to be developed from a concentrated

surface location. The development approach can also reduce the number of separate well sites, access roads and associated surface infrastructure

that might otherwise be required to achieve comparable reservoir exposure.

Trio

believes these characteristics provide the potential for:

●

Greater

reservoir contact;

●

Improved

recovery efficiency;

●

barrels recovered per development dollar;

●

Improved

capital efficiency;

●

Reduced

surface infrastructure requirements; and

●

smaller overall surface development footprint.

Multilateral

and extended-horizontal development have become increasingly important tools in the Lloydminster heavy-oil fairway. Trio believes continued

improvements in geo-steering, seismic interpretation, reservoir modelling and drilling execution will further enhance the role of multilateral

technology in conventional heavy-oil development.

Material Multi-Year Development Inventory

The

contemplated program consists of 14 new multilateral drilling opportunities, to begin almost immediately and conducted over the

next eighteen months consisting of:

Alberta

- Five New Multilateral Wells

The

Alberta inventory includes development opportunities at Lloyd South and Rivercourse across multiple heavy-oil producing intervals.

Saskatchewan

- Nine New Multilateral Wells

The

Saskatchewan inventory includes development opportunities at Lloyd East, Paynton, Hillmond and Marshall.

addition to the 14 new multilateral wells, the program includes a separate Rivercourse re-entry opportunity and an oil producing-property

acquisition

The

combination provides Trio with exposure to three distinct sources of potential production growth:

●

Existing

acquired production;

●

Near-term

production potential from the Rivercourse re-entry; and

●

multi-year inventory of new multilateral drilling opportunities.

This

combination is intended to provide Trio with production and cash flow at different stages of the development cycle rather than relying

solely upon future drilling success.

Farm-In

and Participation Structure

Upon

its election to participate in the initial 2-well earning program, Trio would pay Croverro a prospect fee in the amount of CAD $450,000.

Under

the current development agreement, applicable projects are structured whereby Trio funds 100% of applicable development capital of approximately

$1.8 million Canadian in exchange for an 80% revenue interest through payout of Trio’s costs, stepping down to a 60%

interest after payout, subject to the specific ownership and participation terms applicable to each project.

Certain

opportunities within the overall program carry different participation interests and will be governed by their applicable agreements.

Croverro

will remain operator, maintaining continuity across geological evaluation, well design, drilling, completion, production operations and

subsequent development planning.

Trio

can elect not to participate in any subsequent 2-well earning program proposed by Croverro resulting in the termination of future earning

program participation except in the non-participation in the Rivercourse Area. In such a case, Croverro shall refund to Trio a pro-rata

share of the prospect fee for each of the remaining earning programs including the Rivercourse Area.

Mr.

Ross further commented, “The Croverro program builds upon Trio’s existing Canadian operating platform in Alberta and

Saskatchewan, where we have established producing operations and an experienced technical and operating team. Trio intends to leverage

this existing platform as it aims to expand production through potential acquisitions, optimization of existing assets and development

drilling.”
