    QUARTERLY REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING 30 JUNE 2009

    The Board is pleased to provide the following commentary to be read in
    conjunction with the Appendix 5B which is attached.

    During the quarter the Company raised $1.3m from the exercise of options,
    appointed a new director and company secretary and the management team continue
    their data review. Subsequently the Company signed a Heads of Agreement with
    unlisted UK Company, Strait Oil and Gas Limited, to acquire a 50% farm in
    interest in two oil and gas blocks in Georgia.

    During the quarter Range established a constructive relationship with the new
    Puntland Government and is continuing discussions with regard to jointly
    developing off-shore Puntland with the assistance of a joint venture partner

    Puntland Exploration Update

    Government officials were presented with a detailed history of, and strategies
    for the future exploration of the Puntland Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). In
    order to place the current exploration efforts in context, results of prior
    drilling were reviewed, and the importance of data acquired during prior
    drilling campaigns was discussed. Range management began by presenting the
    tectonic history of the Gulf of Aden, and its effect on the evolution of
    sedimentary basins in the region. Petroleum source rocks and their maturity
    were discussed, along with regional cross sections showing lateral variations
    in stratigraphy. Additional studies related to paleogeography and facies belts
    were presented, and the effects of paleoclimatic changes on the distribution of
    sediments in the region were explained.


    The correlation of onshore wells to offshore was presented in order to
    demonstrate the differences and similarities between onshore basins and their
    offshore counterparts. In addition, and as shown below, the similarities
    between Puntland stratigraphy and that of Southern Yemen were detailed. Based
    on the available geological and geophysical data, Range representatives
    outlined their offshore exploration strategy going forward. In addition to
    conventional exploration models, several new play concepts were presented and
    discussed. After a description of the existing subsurface and 2D seismic
    databases, the need for new 2D seismic coverage was discussed and offshore
    exploration areas were prioritized. Range management continues to work with the
    Puntland government to lay the legal and technical groundwork necessary to
    attract investment in the Puntland OCS.


    Africa Oil (80% interest, 25% subject to farm-out by Africa Oil to Raytec),
    Range's Joint Venture partner on the two on-shore Puntland concessions and the
    Puntland Government are continuing discussions with regards to foramlising the
    proposed deriliong program for Q4 2009 und Q1 2010.

    Heads of Agreement Signed to acquire a 50% farm in interest in two key Georgian
    Oil & Gas blocks

    As announced on 9 July 2009 the Company has signed Heads of Agreement signed
    with unlisted UK Company, Strait Oil and Gas Limited, to acquire a 50% farm in
    interest in two oil and gas blocks in the Republic of Georgia, Eastern Europe.

    The two blocks subject to this agreement, Blocks VIa and Vlb cover a contiguous
    area of 7,000 sq km (approx 10% of the surface area of the Country) and were
    subject to significant exploration in the Soviet era. Please refer Figure 1 for
    outline of block locations.

    Led by Range's seasoned international energy executives Mark Patterson and Greg
    Smith, the Company is well placed (in conjunction with Strait's established
    team) to find and produce commercial volumes of oil and natural gas on the
    Georgian Blocks.

    Blocks VIa and Vlb Background

    A significant number of wells were drilled during the Soviet era (mainly in the
    1980's and early 1990's) in and adjacent to the Blocks. Strait has undertaken a
    large scale review of all available data over the last two years with the
    assistance of recognised international oil and gas consultants RPS Energy.

    Key findings of the technical review include:

    * Very few of the approximately 200 wells were drilled with the specific
    objective of finding oil and gas reservoirs. Certain wells were drilled to
    relatively shallow depths, to further define structural features identified
    from surface geological mapping, and to assist in planning the location and
    design of water reservoirs. Deeper wells were drilled for the purpose of
    detailed identification of the stratigraphy of the area. Many of these
    wells found oil and gas shows, in which case they were shut in and
    abandoned without testing. Much of the work carried out by the technical
    staff of Strait has been to collate information from these diverse
    databases and to integrate the data into their own regional interpretation.
    Data reviewed includes seismic, gravity and magnetic, well, structural
    mapping and field analogues and reservoir data.

    * An initial analysis of 24 areas identified 11 structures suitable for oil
    in place estimates and key targets for future drilling. Of these structures
    two are deeper than 2,500 meters and the rest are shallow features between
    600 and 2,500 meters. Range intends to release an announcement detailing
    the oil in place potential of the identified leads and prospects following
    completion of its final stage due diligence review.

    * In compliance with the terms of the applicable PSA (see below), Range
    proposes to complete 350km of seismic before May 2010 (in accordance with
    the PSA) and then commence a minimum two well drilling program.

    * In addition to the oil potential of the Blocks there are numerous
    prospective gas fields, which include highly prospective natural gas and
    coal bed methane targets. Of the 161 wells drilled for gas, 22 displayed
    potentially commercial flow rates. Early production could be attained by
    supplying the local city of Kutaisi (second biggest in Georgia) with a
    dedicated natural gas supply.

    Exercise of Options

    During the quarter 88m options, $0.015, 31 May 2009, were exercised raising
    $1.3m, making a total of 104m options exercised raising $1.5m. The Board is
    encouraged by the response in today's economic climate and thanks its
    shareholders for their support.

    Director & Company Secretary Appointments

    Notes

    1 The quarterly report provides a basis for informing the market how the
    entity's activities have been financed for the past quarter and the effect on
    its cash position. An entity wanting to disclose additional information is
    encouraged to do so, in a note or notes attached to this report.

    2 The 'Nature of interest' (items 6.1 and 6.2) includes options in respect of
    interests in mining tenements acquired, exercised or lapsed during the
    reporting period. If the entity is involved in a joint venture agreement and
    there are conditions precedent which will change its percentage interest in a
    mining tenement, it should disclose the change of percentage interest and
    conditions precedent in the list required for items 6.1 and 6.2.

    3 Issued and quoted securities The issue price and amount paid up is not
    required in items 7.1 and 7.3 for fully paid securities.

    4 The definitions in, and provisions of, AASB 1022: Accounting for Extractive
    Industries and AASB 1026: Statement of Cash Flows apply to this report.

    5 Accounting Standards ASX will accept, for example, the use of International
    Accounting Standards for foreign entities. If the standards used do not address
    a topic, the Australian standard on that topic (if any) must be complied with.
