$IBG News: Innovation Beverage Group Reports Commercial Progress with U.S. and U.K. Expansion Alongside Double Gold Medal Wins for Australian Bitters

SYDNEY, AU / ACCESS Newswire / July 9, 2026 / Innovation Beverage Group Limited (NASDAQ:IBG) ("IBG" or the "Company"), an innovative developer, manufacturer, and marketer of a growing beverage portfolio of 60 formulations across 13 alcoholic and non-alcoholic brands, today announced continued progress in its global expansion strategy, supported by product recognition, trade engagement, and a defined route-to-market model across key markets in the United States and United Kingdom.

Over recent months, IBG has executed a brand-building program designed to introduce the Australian Bitters Company and Bittertales portfolio to bartenders, distributors, and industry partners. The Company launched Australian Bitters in New York in June through Lieber Fine Wines & Spirits, participated in Cocktails in the City London, and engaged the trade at Bar Convent Brooklyn. Across these activations, IBG has received positive trade feedback, which the Company believes supports the commercial potential of the Australian Bitters portfolio as it expands into additional U.S. markets.

IBG intends to continue this momentum with a full activation week in July at Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans, one of the world's most prominent gatherings for the spirits and hospitality industry. Tales of the Cocktail serves as a gathering for bartenders, distributors, and industry decision-makers, providing IBG with a platform to pursue trade adoption and market penetration.

These initiatives reflect IBG's city-by-city market entry approach, which prioritizes targeted market entry, trade engagement, and long-term brand building. The Company is currently active in London, New York, and New Jersey, with Florida identified as the next anticipated market in the United States as IBG seeks to build a scalable, repeatable route-to-market model.

San Francisco Ready to Drink Competition: Double Gold Recognition for Australian Bitters

The San Francisco Ready to Drink Competition is a blind-tasting evaluation recognized for its judging standards and global field of entrants. IBG secured Double Gold Medals for both Australian Bitters Company Cocoa Bitters and Australian Bitters Company Orange Bitters. The broader portfolio also earned additional gold and silver medals. The Company believes these results underscore the quality of IBG's formulations and support IBG's long-term strategy to build a differentiated bitters category in key international markets.

"The past two months have marked an important period for Innovation Beverage Group as we introduce Australian Bitters to key global markets through a city-by-city approach," said Sahil Beri, CEO of IBG. "Our June launch in New York with Lieber Fine Wines & Spirits, our presence at Cocktails in the City London, and our upcoming activation week in July at Tales of the Cocktail reflect our approach to brand building and trade engagement. Winning Double Gold for both our Cocoa and Orange Bitters at the San Francisco Ready to Drink Competition, along with additional gold and silver medals across the range, provides meaningful third-party validation of our portfolio. As we expand into London, New York, New Jersey, and anticipate entry into Florida, we remain focused on building a quality bitters category with intention, authenticity, and long-term commercial viability."

IBG's previously announced proposed business combination with BlockFuel Energy remains in process, with the parties continuing to work toward satisfying closing conditions.

BlockFuel Energy Launches Vertical Drilling Program for Second Half 2026June 18, 2026 9:20 AM
ACCESS NewswireInitial Development Campaign Targets Multiple Stacked Pay Horizons Across 55-Square-Mile Oklahoma Position with Potential for 400+ Future Drilling LocationsOKLAHOMA CITY, OK / ACCESS Newswire / June 18, 2026 / BlockFuel Energy Ltd. (NASDAQ:FUEL) ("BlockFuel" or the "Company") today announced plans to commence a multi-well vertical drilling program during the second half of 2026 across its approximately 55-square-mile operated position in Oklahoma, targeting multiple stacked hydrocarbon-bearing formations beneath one of the largest operated acreage positions in the Company's portfolio. BlockFuel Energy Inc. is currently 51% owned by Innovation Beverage Group Limited (NASDAQ:IBG), which has announced a proposed merger of the two companies.The planned campaign represents the first phase of a long-term development strategy designed to unlock management's identified inventory of low-cost, repeatable drilling opportunities across approximately 35,000 acres of operated leasehold. The acreage position includes extensive existing infrastructure, production facilities, gathering systems, power distribution assets and commercial saltwater disposal capacity, providing a foundation for rapid and capital-efficient development.Management believes the Company's acreage is underlain by multiple stacked oil and natural gas reservoirs that have historically produced throughout the Mid-Continent region. These stacked pay intervals create the opportunity to develop numerous productive horizons from the same acreage footprint, potentially amplifying recoverable resource opportunities while minimizing infrastructure requirements."The upcoming drilling campaign has the potential to be a defining event for BlockFuel," said Daniel Lanskey, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We control approximately 55 square miles of highly prospective acreage with existing infrastructure already in place. Our objective is to demonstrate that these stacked reservoir intervals can be developed using low-cost vertical wells, creating a scalable development platform capable of supporting production growth for many years."Potential for Large-Scale Development InventoryBased on current geological mapping, historical production data, reservoir interpretation and development planning, management believes successful results from the initial drilling campaign could support substantial future drilling activity across the Company's acreage position.Current development models indicate that individual sections may ultimately accommodate up to twelve additional vertical well locations targeting multiple productive horizons. Across the Company's acreage position, this could translate into a development inventory measured in the hundreds of future drilling opportunities, subject to drilling results, reservoir performance, economic conditions and regulatory approvals.The Company previously identified the potential for more than 400 undeveloped infill drilling locations utilizing 40-acre spacing assumptions. Management believes the existence of multiple stacked pay intervals may further enhance the long-term development potential of the acreage position. While additional technical work and drilling results are required to fully evaluate this opportunity, BlockFuel believes it controls one of the most attractive low-cost vertical development projects in the Mid-Continent region.Low-Cost Development ModelThe Company's planned vertical wells are expected to cost approximately US$650,000 each to drill and complete, significantly below the cost of many contemporary horizontal development programs. Internal economic models indicate that wells producing approximately 40 barrels of oil per day initially could generate attractive project economics, including rapid capital recovery and strong rates of return under current commodity price assumptions.Unlike many emerging development projects, BlockFuel's acreage position benefits from extensive existing infrastructure, including gathering systems, production hubs, power infrastructure and commercial saltwater disposal facilities. Management believes replacing this infrastructure today would require significant capital investment and multiple years of development time.Positioned for Multi-Year GrowthThe planned drilling campaign forms part of BlockFuel's broader strategy to increase production, reserves and cash flow through a combination of production restoration, recompletions and new drilling activity.Management believes successful execution of the 2026 drilling program could establish a repeatable blueprint for large-scale field development and support a multi-year growth trajectory across the Company's operated acreage position."Few independent companies our size control an operated acreage position of this scale with existing infrastructure, demonstrated production history and significant undeveloped drilling inventory," added Lanskey. "Our goal is to transform BlockFuel from a redevelopment story into a scalable growth-oriented oil and gas producer capable of delivering substantial long-term value for shareholders."Additional operational details, including well locations, permitting status and drilling schedules, will be announced as development activities progress.IBG and BFE continue to work together to close the merger transaction in the near term.About Innovation Beverage Group LtdInnovation Beverage Group is a developer, manufacturer, marketer, exporter, and retailer of a growing beverage portfolio of 60 formulations across 13 alcoholic and non-alcoholic brands for which it owns exclusive manufacturing rights.

Innovation Beverage Group and BlockFuel Energy Announce Completion of Independent Reserve Report and Multi-Phase Development PlanApril 30, 2026 8:30 AM
ACCESS NewswireReserve Report Effective Date December 31, 2025, Prior to Field Reactivation
 Recompletion of Existing Well Bores Underway
 Plans to Drill Eight (8) New Vertical Wells in 2026 and Up to 20 New Vertical Wells in 2027 and 2028
 Demonstrates Operational Progress in Central Oklahoma With 19 Wells Returned to Production SYDNEY, AU / ACCESS Newswire / April 30, 2026 / Innovation Beverage Group Ltd ("IBG" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:IBG), an innovative developer, manufacturer, and marketer of a growing beverage portfolio of 60 formulations across 13 alcoholic and non-alcoholic brands, along with its proposed merger partner BlockFuel Energy, Inc. ("BlockFuel" or "BFE"), a Texas-based energy corporation, today announced the completion of an independent reserve report and outlined a multi-phase development plan for its Central Oklahoma oil and gas assets.The reserve report, effective December 31, 2025, was prepared during the period when operations across the asset base were temporarily shut-in. Since that time, BlockFuel has made significant operational progress, successfully returning 19 wells to production and demonstrating its ability to efficiently reactivate assets and generate cash flow."Completion of this independent reserve report represents an important milestone for BlockFuel, as it provides third-party validation of the scale and quality of our asset base," said Daniel Lanskey, President and Chief Executive Officer of BlockFuel Energy. "Importantly, it reinforces our confidence in the progress already made to bring wells back online and demonstrates a clear, capital-efficient pathway to continue growing production and unlocking value across our Oklahoma assets."Reserve Summary Development StrategyBlockFuel is executing a structured, multi-phase development plan designed to unlock value across its approximately 35,000-acre position:Phase 1 - Reactivation (Completed/Ongoing): The Company has successfully returned 19 shut-in wells to production, validating field infrastructure and establishing initial production and revenue streams.
Phase 2 - Recompletion Program (Commencing May 2026): BlockFuel plans to begin recompletion of select existing wells that historically produced from the Woodford Shale. These wells will be recompleted to target the shallower Mississippi Lime formation, providing a capital-efficient pathway to access bypassed reserves. Recompletion costs are estimated at approximately $250,000 per well, including hydraulic fracture stimulation. Thirty-four of the Company's 55 existing wells have been identified as candidates for this program.
Phase 3 - New Drilling (Planning Underway): BlockFuel has identified locations for eight (8) vertical wells to be drilled in 2026, targeting the Mississippi Lime formation. Results from this program are expected to lead to a broader development campaign, with up to 20 additional wells planned for 2027 and 2028, subject to capital availability and operational performance. The Company believes that ongoing oil and gas revenues, combined with capital resources previously raised through IBG, will support its planned 2026 development activities, subject to market conditions.BlockFuel has identified more than 200 potential drilling locations across its acreage. The estimated ultimate recovery of these potential vertical wells locations are expected to generate up to 65,000 barrels of oil equivalent per well. Historical data indicates the presence of multiple stacked reservoirs, supporting the potential for multi-zone development across the asset base. Significant infrastructure was installed by previous operators including extensive gathering and storage facilities along with nine (9) Saltwater Disposal Wells (SWD), two of which are classified as commercial disposal wells.The Company's acreage is primarily situated within the Mississippi Lime formation, a laterally extensive carbonate reservoir influenced by regional structural features such as the Nemaha Uplift. These characteristics support repeatable development opportunities and favorable reservoir performance across the field.OutlookThe completion of the reserve report represents a key milestone in BlockFuel's development strategy, providing a strong technical and economic foundation for future growth. With a clear pathway from reactivation to recompletion and new drilling, BlockFuel is positioned to drive sustained production growth through disciplined, capital-efficient execution.BlockFuel will continue to provide updates on operational progress and development results. As previously disclosed, IBG is progressing toward its proposed merger with BlockFuel Energy, which currently owns a majority interest in BFE. Completion of the transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions.About Innovation Beverage Group LtdInnovation Beverage Group is a developer, manufacturer, marketer, exporter, and retailer of a growing beverage portfolio of 60 formulations across 13 alcoholic and non-alcoholic brands for which it owns exclusive manufacturing rights.

Innovation Beverage Group and BlockFuel Energy Provide Operational Update on Well Reactivation, Initial Production and Development ProgressApril 7, 2026 8:30 AM
ACCESS NewswireSYDNEY, AU / ACCESS Newswire / April 7, 2026 / Innovation Beverage Group Ltd ("IBG" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:IBG), an innovative developer, manufacturer, and marketer of a growing beverage portfolio of 60 formulations across 13 alcoholic and non-alcoholic brands, along with its proposed merger partner BlockFuel Energy ("BFE"), a Texas-based energy corporation, today provided an operational update on its ongoing well reactivation program, initial production performance, and development planning activities across its Central Oklahoma asset base.BFE reports that 15 wells are currently producing and 5 wells are in the process of completing reactivation, with all expected to be online by the end of this week. These efforts are part of BlockFuel's near-term strategy to restore oil production capabilities to existing wellbores through cost-efficient reactivation initiatives.BlockFuel commenced oil and gas sales during the first quarter, with peak production reaching approximately 100 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) in that time. Production levels are expected to increase as additional wells return to service and recompletion operations are executed on select wells, targeting behind-pipe intervals.BlockFuel's operations are supported by assets acquired in the fourth quarter of 2025, including 54 existing production wells and associated infrastructure developed between 2012 and 2018. This infrastructure is expected to support current operations and future development while minimizing incremental capital requirements.BFE also confirms that all nine saltwater disposal ("SWD") wells are operational, providing sufficient capacity necessary to support current and anticipated production levels. This infrastructure positions BlockFuel to advance recompletion programs and evaluate potential step-out drilling locations.BlockFuel is currently evaluating a development program focused on vertical well drilling at approximately 40-acre spacing, targeting multiple known hydrocarbon-bearing formations. This strategy is intended to provide a repeatable, lower-risk development pathway across its acreage position.Based on historical data from this area of Oklahoma, vertical wells are estimated to have an expected ultimate recovery ("EUR") of approximately 65,000 barrels of oil equivalent per well, although actual results may vary. BFE estimates an average drilling and completion cost of approximately $700,000 per well. In addition, recompletion operations targeting behind-pipe reserves are expected to cost up to $250,000 per well, including hydraulic fracture stimulation, subject to operational and market conditions. BlockFuel maintains an average working interest of approximately 86% across its oil and gas assets."With favorable commodity pricing and key infrastructure in place, we are advancing our development plans in a disciplined manner," said Daniel Lanskey, President and Chief Executive Officer of BlockFuel Energy. "The reactivation of wells and commencement of production represent critical operational milestones as we evaluate additional opportunities to increase production and enhance asset value."BlockFuel will continue executing a phased development strategy, with future activities subject to ongoing technical evaluation, capital availability, and market conditions. As previously disclosed, BlockFuel is progressing toward its proposed merger with Innovation Beverage Group Limited (NASDAQ: IBG), which currently owns 51% of BFE. Completion of the transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions.About Innovation Beverage Group LtdInnovation Beverage Group is a developer, manufacturer, marketer, exporter, and retailer of a growing beverage portfolio of 60 formulations across 13 alcoholic and non-alcoholic brands for which it owns exclusive manufacturing rights.

Innovation Beverage Group Provides Update on Merger with BlockFuel Energy and Production Restart to Advance Dual Revenue Model Spanning Energy and Digital Asset Mining


SYDNEY, Feb. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Innovation Beverage Group Ltd (“IBG” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: IBG), an innovative developer, manufacturer, and marketer of a growing beverage portfolio of 60 formulations across 13 alcoholic and non-alcoholic brands, today provided an update regarding its proposed merger with BlockFuel Energy Inc., a Texas corporation (“BFE”), including operational, financial, and strategic milestones that position the combined transaction parties as a capital-efficient energy producer with a differentiated digital infrastructure growth strategy.

The companies remain on track to complete the merger in the first quarter of 2026, subject to customary approvals and closing conditions. Integration planning continues, with a clear focus on building a vertically integrated platform that monetizes hydrocarbons through both conventional sales channels and potential digital energy applications.

Ten wells are currently back in production, with an additional seven wells expected to be returned to production by month-end, materially increasing active production and available gas volumes across the portfolio.

BFE expects to complete its first oil and gas sales in February 2026, with initial revenues anticipated before the end of the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. These initial oil and gas revenues are expected to provide near-term cash-flow visibility following completion of the merger.

Digital Energy and Mining Strategy

In parallel with production restarts, planning is advancing for the potential deployment of digital mining infrastructure powered directly by natural gas produced onsite. Initial planning takes into consideration modular, wellhead-adjacent generation and mining deployments, allowing capacity to scale in-line with gas availability and capital deployment.

Based on preliminary engineering and comparable field deployments, BFE management believes onsite gas-to-power costs may be meaningfully below grid-based power pricing, while avoiding transportation, processing, and third-party power costs. Even modest allocations of produced gas to digital infrastructure may support incremental margins per unit of gas, while preserving flexibility to sell gas into traditional markets.

Daniel Lanskey, Chief Executive Officer of BlockFuel Energy, commented, “We view Bitcoin mining not as speculation, but as energy infrastructure. At its core, our strategy is about converting underutilized natural gas at the site into productive, revenue-generating capacity. By collocating modular power and mining directly at the wellhead, we believe the combined company can deploy capital efficiently, operate at a low effective energy cost, and scale output in-line with production. This approach has the potential to improve overall project economics while giving shareholders disciplined exposure to digital asset upside.”

The integrated energy-and-mining model is expected to enhance resilience across commodity cycles and provide a flexible demand sink for gas, while creating incremental cash flow per well without compromising conventional production strategy.

Portfolio Expansion and Scale

Further strengthening the asset base, BFE has executed a Letter of Intent with a previous vendor to acquire additional nearby producing oil fields, adding approximately 4,000 contiguous acres to its portfolio. The proposed acquisition is expected to both expand scale and improve operating efficiencies, increasing gas volumes available for both traditional sales and digital energy initiatives.

Management of the companies believe these milestones demonstrate disciplined execution across production, capital formation, and infrastructure planning, while reinforcing the strategic rationale for the IBG-BFE merger.

Upon completion, the combined group is expected to emerge as a small-cap, integrated energy company with near-term production, diversified revenue streams, and a scalable gas-to-digital infrastructure platform positioned to deliver long-term shareholder value.

Further updates will be provided as the merger, financing, production restart, digital mining deployment, and acquisition initiatives continue to progress toward completion.
