NORTH CHAPMAN RANCH UPDATE

Range Resources Limited ("Range" or "the Company") is pleased to announce
further success in the appraisal and development of the North Chapman Ranch
Field in Texas (Range 20-25% interest), with the successful drilling of the
Smith #2 and Albrecht #1 wells.

Initial gross flow rates from the uppermost pay zone, which is one of four
principal pay zones, in the Smith #2 well reached more than 3.0 MMcfd & 125
Bopd, with more than 7500 psi flowing casing pressure on a 10/64" choke. Work
is being conducted now to remove all of the plugs below the upper pay zone and
combine the remaining lower pay zones to achieve maximum rate and recovery.

The Smith #2 well was drilled approximately 1,350 ft. southeast of the Smith #1
discovery well, further extending the Company's Proved Reserves in that
direction.

The Smith #2 was followed immediately by the Albrecht #1, drilled more than
1,500 ft. southeast of the Smith #2. The Albrecht #1 confirmed the presence of
the Howell Hight reservoir in that area and is also expected to add significant
Proved Reserves to the Company's portfolio.

With four wells now drilled in the field, Range estimates that over 80% of the
structural closure at the Howell Hight reservoir falls into the Proved and
Probable (2P) category. Work is currently underway to revise the reserve
estimates at North Chapman Ranch, and is expected to be finalized once The
Albrecht #1 well comes online. The Albrecht well is scheduled for completion
and fracture stimulation within the next 4-6 weeks.

Once the Smith #2 and Albrecht #1 wells are both online, Range estimates that
its net production and cash flow from the project will increase by more than
200% over current levels.

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 Proved (1P)
    reserves in place of 15.4 MMbls with 19.6 MMbls of proved, probable and
    possible (3P) reserves and an additional 20 MMbls (mean) 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. 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 undiscovered 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 vertical seismic
    profiling has identified new fault 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. The
    operator and 60% interest holder, Horn Petroleum Corp. (TSXV: HRN) spudded
    the first well in a two well programme in early 2012 targeting 300mmbls and
    375mmbbls of best estimate Prospective Resources (100% basis). Site
    construction has commenced on the second well with the setting of the 30
    inch surface casing and the drilling of a 50 meter pilot hole in readiness
    for spudding following the completion of the first well. 
  * Range holds a 25% interest in the initial Smith #1 well and a 20% interest
    in further wells on the North Chapman Ranch project, Texas. The project
    area 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 3P
    reserves in place (on a 100% basis) of 242 Bcf of natural gas, 15 mmbbls of
    oil and 19 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. The prospect
    has independently assessed 3P reserves in place (on a 100% basis) of
    3.3mmbbls of oil.
   
The reserves estimates for the 3 Trinidad blocks and update reserves estimates
for the North Chapman Ranch Project and East Texas Cotton Valley referred above
have been formulated by Forrest A. Garb & Associates, Inc. (FGA). FGA is an
international petroleum engineering and geologic consulting firm staffed by
experienced engineers and geologists. Collectively FGA staff has more than a
century of world–wide experience. FGA have consented in writing to the
reference to them in this announcement and to the estimates of oil and natural
gas liquids provided. The definitions for oil and gas reserves are in
accordance with SEC Regulation S–X an in accordance with the guidelines of the
Society of Petroleum Engineers ("SPE"). The SPE Reserve definitions can be
found on the SPE website at spe.org.

RPS Group is an International Petroleum Consulting Firm with offices worldwide,
who specialise in the evaluation of resources, and have consented to the
information with regards to the Company's Georgian interests in the form and
context that they appear. These estimates were formulated in accordance with
the guidelines of the Society of Petroleum Engineers ("SPE").

The prospective resource estimates for the two Dharoor Valley prospects are
internal estimates reported by Africa Oil Corp, the operator of the joint
venture, which are based on volumetric and related assessments by Gaffney,
Cline & Associates.

In granting its consent to the public disclosure of this press release with
respect to the Company's Trinidad operations, Petrotrin makes no representation
or warranty as to the adequacy or accuracy of its contents and disclaims any
liability that may arise because of reliance on it.

SPE Definitions for Proved, Probable, Possible Reserves and Prospective
Resources

Proved Reserves are those quantities of petroleum, which by analysis of
geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to
be commercially recoverable, from a given date forward, from known reservoirs
and under defined economic conditions, operating methods, and government
regulations.

Probable Reserves are those additional Reserves which analysis of geoscience
and engineering data indicate are less likely to be recovered than Proved
Reserves but more certain to be recovered than Possible Reserves.

Possible Reserves are those additional reserves which analysis of geoscience
and engineering data indicate are less likely to be recoverable than Probable
Reserves.

Prospective Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a
given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by
application of future development projects. Prospective Resources have both an
associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. Prospective
Resources are further subdivided in accordance with the level of certainty
associated with recoverable estimates assuming their discovery and development
and may be sub-classified based on project maturity.
