ASX Announcement 3 February 2009
Puntland Update
Australian company Range Resources Limited (ASX: RRS; AIM: RRL) (�gRange�h or �gthe Company�h), the oil and gas explorer with assets in Puntland (Somalia), wishes to advise that a Presidential policy update of the new Puntland Government was presented to the Puntland Parliament over the weekend (31 January, 1 February 2009).
This policy update covered many areas of interest to the Puntland region, but of particular interest to Range was the following statement:
�gAs you all know there are agreements signed by the former government that raised complaints from various groups. These contracts were between the government, foreign and local companies. In principle, I recognise and accept these agreements, but we have to update ourselves and make sure that they are benefiting the people and are within the laws of Puntland.�h
As mentioned in previous announcements, Range looks forward to establishing a constructive and mutually beneficial relationship with the new Puntland Government and its President, His Excellency, Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed Farole.
