Kolibri Global Energy Inc. Announces Lovina Wells Drilled 25% Faster Than the Previous 1.5 Mile Lateral Wells
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kolibri Global Energy Inc. (the ' Company ' or ' Kolibri ') (TSX: KEI, NASDAQ: KGEI) is pleased to provide an operations update on its latest wells in its Tishomingo field in Oklahoma.
LOVINA WELLS
The Lovina 9-16-1H, Lovina 9-16-2H, Lovina 9-16-3H, and Lovina 9-16-4H wells have all been successfully drilled. Kolibri has a 100% working interest in the wells. These 1.5 mile lateral wells were drilled in an average of less than 10.5 days each. This compares to the 1.5 mile lateral Alicia Renee wells, which were drilled in an average of 14 days each. The completion operations for these wells are scheduled to begin in the last week of May, with production anticipated to begin in early July.
FORGUSON WELL
After completing the drilling of the Lovina wells, the drilling rig was mobilized to the Forguson 17-20-3H well location, which is currently being drilled. Kolibri is operator and has a 46% working interest in this well, which is testing the economics of our 3,000 acres that is located on the eastern side of our acreage. The Forguson well is scheduled to be fracture stimulated after the Lovina wells have been completed.
Wolf Regener, President and CEO, commented, 'We are extremely pleased with the excellent job our team has done drilling these longer lateral Caney wells. The further 25 percent reduction of drilling days between the Alicia Renee wells and the Lovina wells is significant. We had budgeted almost 15 days for each of these wells, and having them come in at an average of less than 10.5 days and under budget is fantastic.
'The east side acreage, where the Forguson well is located and Kolibri has approximately 3,000 net acres, is not included in the December 31, 2024 reserve report. The Caney target for the Forguson well has very similar characteristics and thickness as in the main part of the field in Kolibri's proved acreage, except that it is shallower. If the Forguson well proves to be economic, in addition to adding cash flow, it could lead to many additional development locations for the Company.
'We are looking forward to the additional production and cash flow from all of these wells, which we expect will significantly increase the Company's cash flow and add incremental value to our shareholders.'

Bridging the gap: How fusion teams drive business-IT alignment
The traditional boundaries between information technology (IT) and business units are becoming increasingly blurred. Especially as organizations adopt digital transformation initiatives such as artificial intelligence, the need for alignment across teams becomes even more critical. To stay competitive and drive innovation, organizations should work to bridge the gap early between these two domains with high-impact collaboration and consensus on objectives. THE CHALLENGE AND IMPLICATIONS OF SILOED OPERATIONS Historically, IT and business units have operated in silos, each focusing on their individual department goals. In fact, according to McKinsey & Company's 2023 The State of Organizations report, 33% of respondents say initiatives in their companies are being launched in organizational silos, thereby limiting their effectiveness. This separation can lead to miscommunication, misaligned goals, and inefficiencies. Business teams may view IT as a support function, while IT departments might see business units as lacking technical understanding. When IT and business strategies are not in sync, the consequences can be significant. Common challenges include: Delayed Projects And Outcomes: Without clear communication and shared objectives, projects may face delays due to conflicting priorities or misunderstandings yielding delayed benefits. Increased Costs And Risk: Disjointed priorities can lead to redundant efforts or investments in technologies that do not support business goals, resulting in wasted resources or increased risk. Reduced Agility: Organizations may struggle to adapt to market shifts if IT and business units are not working cohesively, leading to missed opportunities. THE SOLUTION: BUILDING FUSION TEAMS To overcome these challenges, organizations should consider embracing fusion teams, which are cross-functional groups that integrate members from IT and business units. These teams work collaboratively toward shared objectives, leveraging diverse expertise to drive innovation and efficiency. By breaking away from the traditional silos, fusion teams can combine technical knowledge with business insights to ensure both perspectives are considered from the start. At my company, we've embraced the fusion team model to connect the dots between IT and business units. By dedicating professionals from operations, marketing, and technology to work together as cohesive pods, we've witnessed great improvements in project delivery times and value realization, without losing oversight. This collaborative approach has facilitated our ability to align our technological initiatives closely with business objectives, resulting in solutions that are both technically sound and strategically relevant. KEY STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESSFUL FUSION TEAMS Building a fusion team is a strong first step toward spanning the divide between IT and business, but assembling the team is only the beginning. To unlock real value, leaders should focus on how to set these teams up for long-term success by ensuring they have the structure, support, and shared goals needed to drive meaningful outcomes. Strategies leaders can consider include: Align On Shared Goals: Set clear, common objectives and target outcomes that connect directly to your organization's broader strategy. When everyone understands what they're working toward, teams remain focused, motivated, and aligned. Regularly revisit these goals to ensure they remain relevant as priorities evolve. Dedicate Resources: Assign employees from IT and business units to work together full time with clear role definition and embedded decision rights. By committing dedicated resources, you foster stronger collaboration and create a sense of ownership within the team. Choose The Right Team Structure: Think about whether a centralized or decentralized approach fits your organization best. Centralized teams provide structure, consistency, and focus, while decentralized teams may offer more agility and closer ties to specific business functions. In some cases, a hybrid model may offer the best balance. Rethink Reporting: Consider adjusting reporting lines to drive deeper collaboration. For example, having IT team members temporarily report to business leaders across certain projects can help shift mindsets and instantly realign priorities. Bridging the gap between IT and business teams is no longer a luxury, but a necessity in today's business environment. By fostering fusion teams and promoting a culture of collaboration, organizations can enhance efficiency, drive innovation, and achieve strategic objectives more effectively.

Yukon Metals Begins Inaugural Drilling Program at High-Grade Copper Zone of AZ Property
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Yukon Metals Corp. (CSE: YMC, FSE: E770, OTCQB: YMMCF) ('Yukon Metals' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce it has commenced the inaugural drilling program at its 11,755-hectare AZ Project, located 6 kilometers west of the Alaska Highway and 36 kilometres south of Beaver Creek, Yukon. The fully funded exploration program includes 2,000 metres of diamond drilling, along with extensive geological mapping and rock-chip sampling across several high-priority targets. (Figure 4). 2025 AZ Drilling Program: 'We are encouraged by the presence of visible copper oxide minerals, including malachite and azurite (Figures 2 and 3), observed in the upper portion of the first hole at AZ,' said Rory Quinn, President & CEO of Yukon Metals. 'These visual indicators align well with our exploration model, and we look forward to receiving assay results to confirm the extent and grade of mineralization.' Figure 1 – First drill rig mobilized at the AZ Project. Photo taken June 6, 2025. Figure 2 – Drill core from hole AZ25-001 at 22.4m containing malachite, azurite, and pyrite. Photo taken June 7, 2025. Figure 3 – Drill core from hole AZ25-001 at 13.4m highlighting strongly oxidized core with abundant azurite mineralization. Photo taken June 7, 2025. Figure 4 - Interpreted mineralization trend the focus of the 2025 field program at AZ highlighted along with 2024 prospected gossan area. Building on last season's successful prospecting at Chair Mountain, where rock chip samples returned up to 3.49% copper (see YMC news release issued January 15, 2025 here ), the Company has identified a high-priority target area extending an additional 2.5 kilometers toward the Nutzotin mineral occurrence. Notably, hematite alteration (see YMC news release issued February 19, 2025 here ) observed at surface and the presence of multiple copper occurrences along this corridor suggest the potential for a porphyry-style system. Figure 5 - Sample K140202 grading 3.49% Cu at AZ Project. About the AZ Project In September 2024, Yukon Metals conducted a helicopter-supported mapping and sampling program on its AZ property. A prominent zone of orange iron-stained and altered rocks was followed over 1.2 kilometres on the north and eastern flanks of Chair Mountain. Consistent copper mineralization was found along the prospected area. Of the sixty rock-chip samples taken, 18 samples showing significant copper content, assayed from 0.12-3.49%. Hematite alteration was also noted in the area. This can be associated with oxidized hydrothermal fluids, which are key drivers in forming major porphyry copper deposits. Rock-chip samples were collected in quartz veins within basalt and andesite volcanic rocks in both outcrop and float exposures near the ridge tops. This area is coincident with a major topographic lineament, mapped regionally as a NW trending fault zone, that extends a further kilometer down to Sanpete Creek (a past alluvial gold producer) and the property boundary to the southeast. The large gossan and mineralized veins provide evidence of a large hydrothermal system driving fluids through the faults and fractures on Chair Mountain. Strongly clay-altered biotite-quartz diorite dykes were mapped in the vicinity of mineralization and are interpreted to be part of the Nutzotin suite of intrusions. Grant of Equity Incentive Awards Yukon Metals announces that it has granted a total of 2,594,000 options ('Equity Incentive Awards') to various employees, consultants, directors, and officers of the Company. The Equity Incentive Awards have been granted pursuant to the Company's Omnibus Incentive Plan and are subject to vesting provisions. The options have an exercise price of $0.53 per share and will expire five years from the date of grant.
