ALBRECHT #1 WELL SPUDDED

Range Resources Limited ("Range" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that
the Albrecht #1 Appraisal well on the Company's North Chapman Ranch Project in
Texas has recently spudded and has reached a depth of 2,030 ft., where surface
casing will be set. Programmed to reach a total depth of approximately 14,500
ft., the Albrecht well follows the recently drilled Smith #2 well, where a
production liner has been run and cemented, with the well awaiting final
completion and fracture stimulation prior to being tied back to sales.

The Albrecht # 1 appraisal well marks another milestone in the Company's
onshore Texas drilling program, as if successful, it is anticipated to prove up
reserves in the South East portion of the North Chapman Ranch license area, and
support a re-classification of current Possible (P3) reserves into the Probable
(P2) and Proved (P1) categories.

Following on from the Albrecht #1 well, the joint venture has the option to
continue with the development of the field with a possible four-well program in
2012 under discussion among the joint venture partners.

Yours faithfully

Peter Landau
Executive Director

Range Background

Range Resources Limited is a dual listed (ASX: RRS; AIM: RRL) oil & gas
exploration company with oil & gas interests in the frontier state of Puntland,
Somalia, the Republic of Georgia, Texas, USA and Trinidad.

  * In Trinidad Range recently completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in
    holding companies with three onshore production licenses and fully
    operational drilling subsidiary. Independently assessed gross recoverable
    1P reserves in place of 15.4 MMbls (on a mean 100% basis) with 19.7 MMbls
    recoverable 3P reserves with an additional 20 MMbls of prospective
    resources.
   
  * In the Republic of Georgia, Range holds a 40% farm-in interest in onshore
    blocks VIa and VIb, covering approx. 7,000sq.km. Currently, Range has
    recently completed a 410km 2D seismic program with independent consultants
    RPS Energy identifying 68 potential structures containing an estimated 2
    billion barrels of oil-in-place (on a mean 100% basis) with the first
    (Mukhiani-1) of two exploration wells having spudded in July in 2011 -
    Re-interpreted seismic supported by the Mukhiani-1 VSP new fault trap and
    stratigraphic trapping potential with the possibility of a side track well
    to be drilled post additional seismic in 2H 2012.
   
  * In Puntland, Range holds a 20% working interest in two licences
    encompassing the highly prospective Dharoor and Nugaal valleys with the
    operator and 45% interest holder, Africa Oil Corp (TSXV: AOI) planning to
    commence the two well programme in 2011 (targeting (on a mean 100% basis)
    300mmbls and 375mmbbls of best estimate gross recoverable oil in place)
    following the recent awarding of the rig contract. Site construction

    encompasses approximately 1,680 acres in one of the most prolific oil and
    gas producing trends in the State of Texas. Drilling of the first well has
    resulted in a commercial discovery with independently assessed gross
    recoverable reserves in place (on a mean 100% basis) of 240 Bcf of natural
    gas, 18 mmbbls of oil and 17 mmbbls of natural gas liquids.
   
  * Range holds a 21.75% interest in the East Texas Cotton Valley Prospect in
    Red River County, Texas, USA, where the prospect's project area encompasses
    approximately 1,570 acres encompassing a recent oil discovery.
