The Company is today filing its unaudited consolidated financial statements ("financial statements") as at and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and related management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. Copies of these documents may be obtained online at www.sedarplus.com or the Company's website, www.canasiacorp.com.

Commenting today on CanAsia's 2025 third quarter results, President and CEO Jeff Chisholm stated: "The third quarter of 2025 saw activities focused mainly on the Sawn Lake sales process, with these activities expected to continue into year end. Looking ahead in Thailand, we expect an announcement from the government sometime between mid- December 2025 and January 2026."

Highlights

   -- In July 2025, the Company, as part of a consortium, submitted a bid to 
      the government of Thailand for one concession with a non-operated 30% 
      participating interest pursuant to the onshore Thailand 25th licensing 
      round for a contract to explore for, develop, produce, and market oil or 
      gas, in the exploration block onshore Thailand.  The Company expects that 
      the government of Thailand will announce awards of concessions in the 
      first quarter of 2026. 
 
   -- CanAsia had working capital totaling $0.8 million, no long-term debt and 
      shareholders' equity of $5.8 million at September 30, 2025. 
 
   -- Common shares outstanding were 112.8 million at November 11, 2025, 
      September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. 
 
   -- Net loss in the third quarter of 2025 and 2024 was $0.7 million ($0.01 
      loss per share). 
 
   -- Cash flow used in operations in the third quarter of 2025 was $0.8 
      million ($0.01 loss per share) compared to $0.6 million ($0.00 loss per 
      share) in the third quarter of 2024. 
 
   -- General and administrative expense in the third quarter of 2025 and 2024 
      was $0.5 million. General and administrative expense is comprised 
      primarily of expenses related to personnel and premises, external 
      services, and public company costs. 
 
          -- Personnel and premises costs were $0.2 million in the third 
             quarter of 2025 and 2024. These costs include salaries and 
             benefits for employees, and fees incurred for consultants. They 
             also include rent and other office costs related to the Company's 
             Calgary office. 
 
          -- External service costs were $0.2 million in the third quarter of 
             2025 and 2024. These costs mainly related to professional fees for 
             legal, audit, tax services, and information technology. 
 
          -- Public company and other costs were $0.1 million in the third 
             quarter of 2025 and 2024. These costs were incurred for 
             maintaining the Company's status as a public company and mainly 
             related to shareholder reporting and meeting, TSXV fees, transfer 
             agent, insurance and directors' fees. 
 
   -- Operating expenses were $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2025 
      compared to $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. These expenses 
      were incurred to safeguard and maintain the assets of Andora's suspended 
      SAGD project facility and wellpair at Sawn Lake Central. 
 
   -- The natural gas pipeline tariff agreement which was entered into 
      between Andora and a third party in 2018 with a commencement date of June 
      1, 2023 was recognized as an onerous contract under IAS 37 since the 
      operation at Sawn Lake is shut-in.  The Company has recognized a 
      provision of $1.0 million representing the net cost of fulfilling the 
      contract as at September 30, 2025. 
 
   -- The current portion of the decommissioning provision of $0.6 million as 
      at September 30, 2025 was related to the legacy subsidiaries of POEH 
      which had held interests in the East Jabung Production Sharing Contract 
      in Indonesia and a well pertaining to Andora's interests in Sawn Lake, 
      Alberta. CanAsia is withdrawing from activities in Indonesia and 
      decommissioning related costs are expensed when incurred. The non-current 
      portion of the decommissioning provision of $1.7 million as at September 
      30, 2025 pertained to Andora's interests in Sawn Lake, Alberta. 

Outlook

The third quarter of 2025 saw activities focused mainly on the Sawn Lake sales process, with these activities expected to continue into year end. Looking ahead in Thailand, we expect an announcement from the government sometime between mid-December 2025 and January 2026.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at September 30, 2025, CanAsia does not have sufficient resources available to fund expected activity levels over the next 12 months. The Company will require additional capital to support general corporate activities, general and administrative costs and the ongoing maintenance of Sawn Lake, for any evaluation and exploration program in respect of a Thailand concession in the event the Company is successful in the Thailand bid round and, in the event that CanAsia is unable to divest of its interests in Sawn Lake, for the potential development of Sawn Lake.

The amount and timing of the capital required to fund the ongoing operations of CanAsia, including the evaluation and exploration program for a potential Thailand concession and any future development of Sawn Lake, is not known. However, it is reasonably certain that the amount of capital required is in excess of the working capital currently held by CanAsia.

In order to continue as a going concern and fund its ongoing operations, CanAsia will require additional funds through debt or equity financings or other available means, including a divestiture of its interests in Sawn Lake. However, there is no assurance that CanAsia will be able to obtain adequate financing or divest of its interests in Sawn Lake on terms satisfactory to CanAsia or at all.
