    COMPANY UPDATE

    International oil and gas exploration, development and production company,
    Range Resources Limited ("Range" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the
    following updates with regards to its drilling operations in Georgia, Trinidad
    and Texas.

    Georgia

    The Company is pleased to announce that the exploration drilling rig and
    associated equipment that will be used for the Company's two well exploration
    program in Georgia arrived at the port of Poti in Georgia recently and is now
    on site being erected with a scheduled spudding date of early July. A total of
    40-50 personnel will be conducting the drilling program on a 24 hour basis.

    This Mukhiani well is targeting the Vani 3 prospect which has a best estimate
    of gross undiscovered oil in place of +115mbbls (with 46MMbls attributable to
    Range's 40% interest). This prospect was also the subject of the geochemical
    helium survey completed by Actual Geology earlier this year with the results
    identifying a positive presence of helium anomalies across the prospect that
    indicate the presence of a working hydrocarbon system.

    The Mukhiani well is targeting a depth of approximately 3,500m and is expected
    to reach target depth within 45-55 days, and is the first of a two well highly
    prospective exploration drilling program to be completed by Range and its joint
    venture partners in Georgia this year.

    Trinidad

    The Company is also pleased to announce that it is on track to commence the
    shallow target development drilling program (depths to 1,500ft) in Trinidad
    involving 15-20 wells to be completed before year-end utilising a number of the
    Company's drilling rigs. It is anticipated that the first well in the program
    will commence around the end of July with the Company to provide regular
    updates on the progress of the shallow well program. The Company is also
    finalising plans for an initial well to test the deeper Herrera formation
    target with an indicative proposed spudding date in late Q3 / early Q4.


    Broker / Analyst Visit to Company's Texan and Trinidad Interests

    The Company also recently hosted a number of UK, European and Australian
    brokers and analysts on a comprehensive site visit of the Company's Trinidad
    and Texan assets as well as receiving presentations from the Company's partners
    in Georgia regarding the current drilling program. This included the current
    brokers the cover the Company together with a number of new brokers, and the
    Company is anticipating some updated and initiating research from a number of
    these analysts in the coming weeks.

    East Texas Cotton Valley

    The Company is also pleased to announce that preparations have been completed
    in anticipation of the fracture stimulation of the Ross 3H horizontal well. The
    well bore has been cleaned out and perforated, with the frac tanks now being
    filled ahead of fracture stimulation operations due to commence following the
    arrival of the frac equipment and crew. If successful, the Ross 3H well is
    expected to launch a development program of 15-20 additional horizontal wells,
    each of which could potentially recover between 200,000 and 500,000 bbls.
    Having recently increased its interest to 21.75% of the field, Range is well
    positioned to add significant oil production and cash flow to its growing US
    operations.
