PART 1: INTRODUCTION

The effective date of the information being provided in this statement is December 31, 2023. The preparation date of the information being provided in this statement is March 20, 2024. For a glossary of terminology and definitions relating to the information included within this statement (including the aforementioned dates), readers are referred to NI 51-101.

Reserves and Future Net Revenue

The following is a summary of the oil and natural gas reserves and the net present values of future net revenue of Kolibri Global Energy Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary BNK Petroleum (U.S.) Inc. as evaluated by NSAI. The Company's only property with assigned reserves and gathering revenue is the Tishomingo field in Oklahoma, U.S. NSAI is an independent qualified reserves evaluator appointed by the Company pursuant to NI 51-101. Readers should note that totals in the following tables may not add due to rounding.

The estimated future net revenue figures contained in the following tables do not necessarily represent the fair market value of the Company's reserves. There is no assurance that the forecast prices and cost assumptions used by NSAI in its report to the Company will be attained and variances could be material. NSAI's report to the Company contained additional assumptions relating to costs and other matters. The recovery and reserves estimates attributed to the Company's properties described herein are estimates only. The actual reserves attributed to the Company's properties may be greater or less than those calculated.

All dollar values are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Cautionary Statements

Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six mcf to one barrel is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

PART 2: DISCLOSURE OF RESERVES DATA

2.1 Reserves Data (Forecast Prices and Costs)

Notes: May not add due to rounding. The Company's reserves are derived from non-conventional oil and gas activities. The Company's reserves are contained in a shale oil reservoir from which gas and natural gas liquids are produced as by-products.

PART 5: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RELATING TO RESERVES DATA

5.1 Undeveloped Reserves

The Company's undeveloped reserves exist in the Caney shale of its interests in the Tishomingo Field in Oklahoma, U.S. Most of these reserves are designated within the undeveloped category because significant capital expenditures will be required in order to render these reserves capable of production.

The following tables disclose the proved undeveloped and probable undeveloped reserves from the Company's current net interest in the Tishomingo Field that were first attributed in each of the most recent three financial years:

Plans for future development of these undeveloped reserves (based on Forecast Prices and Costs) are summarized below:

United States of America Properties

Tishomingo Field, Oklahoma

NSAI assigns 24,493 Mboe (Company Gross Working Interest share) Proved Undeveloped and 20,750 Mboe (Company Gross Working Interest share) Probable Undeveloped reserves to the Tishomingo Field. The Proved Undeveloped reserves are forecast to be recoverable from the drilling of 11 wells in 2024 and 20, 20 and 9 wells in 2025, 2026 and 2027 respectively (10.79, 14.25, 14.67 and 8.05 net KGEI wells). The Probable Undeveloped reserves are forecast to be recoverable from the drilling of 7 wells in 2026, 33 wells in 2027, 16 wells in 2028 and 1 in 2029 respectively (2.3, 20.48, 4.48 and 1 net KGEI wells).

The production forecast is based on producing the existing wells and drilling the additional wells as listed above and applying the historical production behavior to the undeveloped well locations.

5.2 Significant Factors or Uncertainties

Estimates of economically recoverable oil and natural gas reserves (including natural gas liquids) and the future net cash flows therefrom are based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as availability of capital to fund required infrastructure, commodity prices, production performance of the wells drilled, successful drilling of infill wells, the assumed effects of regulation by government agencies and future capital and operating costs. All of these estimates will vary from actual results. Estimates of the recoverable oil and natural gas reserves attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of such reserves based on risk of recovery and estimates of future net revenues expected therefrom, will vary. The Company's actual production, revenues, taxes, development and operating expenditures with respect to its reserves will vary from such estimates, and such variances could be material. Estimates of after-tax net present value are dependent on a number of factors including utilization of tax-loss carry forwards. In addition to the foregoing, other significant factors or uncertainties that may affect either the Company's reserves or the future net revenue associated with such reserves include material changes to existing taxation or royalty rates and/or regulations, and changes to environmental laws and regulations.

Information on other important economic factors or significant uncertainties that may affect components of the reserves data and other oil and gas information contained in this Form 51-101F1 are contained in the Company's Management Discussion and Analysis filed under the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca and in the AIF under "Risk Factors".

5.3 Future Development Costs

A summary of the estimated development costs deducted in the estimation of future net revenue attributable to various reserves categories and prepared under various price and cost assumptions are summarized in the following table. The Company expects to fund its estimated future development costs through some combination of internally generated cash flow and debt or equity financing. There can be no guarantee that funds will be available when required to proceed with the development on the schedule contemplated herein or that the Board of Directors of the Company will allocate funding to develop all of the reserves requiring development. Failure to develop such reserves could negatively impact future net revenue.

PART 6: OTHER OIL AND GAS INFORMATION

6.1 Oil and Gas Properties and Wells

The following discussion outlines the Company's important properties, plants, facilities and installations:

United States

Tishomingo Field, Ardmore Basin, Oklahoma

In Oklahoma, the Company currently holds approximately 17,168 net acres of Caney shale acreage in the Tishomingo Field near Ardmore, OK. The Company originally drilled wells to the slightly deeper Woodford shale in this field. In April 2013, the Company sold some of its rights in the Tishomingo Field, keeping the rights to the Caney and the upper Sycamore formations, where it had previously drilled and tested two wells. Beginning in 2013, the Company began focusing primarily on developing the oily Caney shale. A subsequent transaction in 2015 resulted in the Company obtaining a 4.9% working interest in one section and participating in four Woodford shale horizontal wells which were completed in 2016. Over the years, the Company increased its net acreage position from about 12,500 to the current 17,168 net acres. The Company plans to continue development drilling in this field with the objective of increasing production and proved reserves. The Company's oil is trucked from the field and its wells are connected to a 3^rd party gathering system, whose operator markets and sells the gas and NGL's.

In 2023, the Company drilled eight wells, and as of December 31st, 2023, has 31 completed Caney wells, all of which are on production. Production increased from an average of approximately 1,640 BOEPD in 2022 to 2,796 BOEPD in 2023, with the production just over 1 million oil equivalent barrels in 2023. KGEI's 2023 year-end proved reserves were 32.4 million BOE, and its proved and probable reserves were 54.1 million BOE.

PART 7: NOTES

The following definitions and guidelines are contained in Section 5.4 of Volume 1 of the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (Second Edition, September 1, 2007) prepared jointly by The Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (Calgary Chapter) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroleum (Petroleum Society) (the "COGE Handbook") and have been prepared by the Standing Committee on Reserves Definitions of the CIM (Petroleum Society). Readers should consult the COGE Handbook for additional explanation and guidance. Certain other terms used in this Listing Application have the meanings assigned to them in NI 51-101 and accompanying Companion Policy 51-101 CP, adopted by the Canadian securities regulatory authorities.

Gross

Net

The following definitions apply to both estimates of individual reserves entities and the aggregate of reserves for multiple entities:

Reserve Categories

Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations from a given date forward, based on:

Reserves are classified according to the degree of certainty associated with the estimates:

Development and Production Status

Each of the reserve categories (proved and probable) may be divided into developed and undeveloped categories:

In multi-well pools it may be appropriate to allocate total pool reserves between the developed and undeveloped categories or to subdivide the developed reserves for the pool between developed producing and developed non-producing. This allocation should be based on the estimator's assessment as to the reserves that will be recovered from specific wells, facilities and completion intervals in the pool and their respective development and production status.

Levels of Certainty for Reported Reserves

The qualitative certainty levels referred to in the definitions above are applicable to individual reserve entities (which refers to the lowest level at which reserves calculations are performed) and to reported reserves (which refers to the highest level sum of individual entity estimates for which reserves are presented). Reported reserves should target the following levels of certainty under a specific set of economic conditions:

A quantitative measure of the certainty levels pertaining to estimates prepared for the various reserves categories is desirable to provide a clearer understanding of the associated risks and uncertainties. However, the majority of reserves estimates will be prepared using deterministic methods that do not provide a mathematically derived quantitative measure of probability. In principle, there should be no difference between estimates prepared using probabilistic or deterministic methods.

Forecast prices and costs

Future prices and costs that are:
