Extension
of Letter of Intent to Acquire Certain Oil and Gas Assets of HSO in at the P.R. Spring, Utah
On
May 20, 2025, Trio Petroleum Corp, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “May
20th 8-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) reporting that it had entered into a non-binding
Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Heavy Sweet Oil LLC, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the State
of Utah (“HSO”, and together with the Company, the “Parties”) for the acquisition of all of HSO’s right,
title and interest in, to, and under a certain identified 2,000 acres of land of HSO at the P.R. Spring Unita Basin in Utah (the “Proposed
Transaction”) to be identified in writing by the Company (the “Identified Assets”), the terms of which would be set
forth in certain definitive documents which the Parties intend to proceed to enter into (the “Definitive Documents”). The
LOI provided that it is a condition of the Company’s entering into Definitive Documents that there is evidence of a minimum sustained
production rate of 40 barrels per day for a continuous 30-day period from each of the two wells operated by the Company at the Asphalt
Ridge site located next to the P.R. Spring site (the “Well Production Rate”), and in the event that the Well Production Rate
was not achieved on or before May 15, 2026 (the “Production Rate Period”), the LOI would expire, unless extended by the Company
in writing.
As
of the date of this report, the Well Production Rate has not been achieved, and the Parties do not believe the Well Production Rate will
be achieved by the Production Rate Period.
On
April 20, 2026, the Company and HSO entered into a letter of extension (the “Extension”) which extended the Production
Rate Period until May 15, 2028, or as may be further extended by the Company.
The
above description of the Extension is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Extension, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit
10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. All other terms of the LOI are described in the May 20th 8-K and the LOI, which is filed as
Exhibit 10.1 to the May 20th 8-K.

Re:
Extension to the Letter of Intent
Dear
Mr. Byle,
Reference
is made to that certain letter of intent (this “LOI”) dated May 15, 2025, by and between Trio Petroleum Corp
(“Trio”) and Heavy Sweet Oil LLC (“HSO”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the LOI.
As
described in Section 1 of the LOI, unless otherwise waived, in writing, by Trio, Trio’s obligation to enter into the Definitive
Agreement shall be subject to delivery of evidence of the Well Production Rate by the Production Rate Period, and if such Well Production
Rate was not achieved on or before the Production Rate Period, the LOI would expire, unless extended by Trio in writing.
The
Parties acknowledge and agree that as of the date hereof, the Well Production Rate has not yet been achieved, and the Parties do not
anticipate the Well Production Rate to be achieved by or before the Production Rate Period.
Pursuant
to this extension (the “Extension”) to the LOI, Trio hereby extends the term of the Production Rate Period
until May 15, 2028, which may be further extended by Trio, in writing, at or before such time.
All
other provisions of the LOI shall remain unchanged and shall continue in full force and effect. If the foregoing correctly sets forth
our agreement, please execute the enclosed copy of this Extension in the space provided and return it to us.
[Remainder

IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Extension to the LOI as of the date first written above.
Very truly yours,
