Vancouver, B.C., Dec. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trillion Energy International Inc. (“Trillion” or the “Company”) (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62), has reissued its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 to correct an identified error. As a result, the Company’s Net Loss is reduced to $43,842 for the year from the previously reported net loss of $1,102,194.
