COMPANY UPDATE

Georgia Drilling

International oil and gas exploration, development and production company,
Range Resources Limited ("Range" or "the Company") along with its joint venture
partners, Strait Oil and Gas ("Strait") and Red Emperor Resources ("Red Emperor
") (ASX/AIM: RMP) is pleased to announce that following the successful spudding
of the Mukhiani 1 well earlier this month, the well is currently at 510m.

As was expected in the early stages of drilling, progress was relatively slow,
however the Company is pleased to report that the last few days has seen
drilling progress as planned with the lithology encountered being in line with
expectations (derived from seismic interpretations and analysis). It is
anticipated that drilling will continue to circa 700m after which casing will
be set and logging performed.

The Mukhiani Well is targeting the Vani 3 prospect which has the following
estimated undiscovered stock tank oil-in-place ("STOIIP"):

Vani 3 Prospect - STOIIP (MMbbls)

Gross (100%) 41.7 92.7 178.2 115.2

Net Attributable to Range (40%) 16.7 37.1 71.3 46.1

The recently completed geochemical helium survey undertaken by Range confirmed
the suitability of the first drill location with oil exploration and
development prospectivity complementing the earlier seismic work completed on
the target.

The Company will continue to provide updates on a 7-10 day basis as to the
progress of the drilling of the Mukhiani well.

Trinidad - Drilling Program Commencing

Range would also like to announce that in less than 2 months from the
acquisition of 100% of the Trinidad assets, the Company has commenced its 21
development well program utilizing 3 of the Company's rigs and is targeting an
increase in production to between 1,400-1,800 bopd, an increase and
reclassification of reserves along with extending the limits of the existing
fields.

Rig 1 was recently inspected and re-certified for drilling by the Ministry of
Energy and has been mobilized to spud in the coming days, Rig 2 is due for
inspection and re-certification this week, soon followed by Rig 3, with both
then immediately mobilized to join Rig 1 in the development well program.

Range Executive Director Peter Landau commented, "The Company is extremely
pleased at the swift progress made since acquiring the Trinidad assets, with
the operational team in Trinidad now being able to look to maximize the
potential of the assets, something they have wanted to progress for a number of
years but were restrained through a lack of capital earmarked for development."

The Company will continue to provide updates on a regular basis as to the
progress of the development well drilling program on its Trinidad assets.

Yours faithfully

RANGE RESOURCES LTD 15.375p
Trinidad and Georgia update 28 July 2011
=
Range has announced that the Mukhiani-1 exploration well in Georgia is progressing as expected. The well
has reached a depth of 510m and the company will continue drilling to approximately 700m after which casing
will be set and logging performed. Meanwhile, in Trinidad, Range has already commenced a 21 well
development programme to target an increase in production to over 1,400bopd. This is more than double the
current output.
Range spudded the Mukhiani-1 exploration well in Georgia on 14 July. As expected, the early stages of drilling
were relatively slow. However, the lithology encountered in the well is in line with expectations derived from
initial analysis and seismic interpretations. We anticipate that drilling will continue to a depth of approximately
700m, at which point Range will set casing and perform well logs.
As outlined in previous announcements, the Mukhiani-1 well is targeting the Vani 3 prospect which has a best
estimate of 115mmbbls of oil in place (46mmbbls attributable to Ranges 40% interest). Red Emperor
Resources (AIM: RMP) also has a 20% interest in Mukhiani-1 with 23mmbbls attributable to its interest.
In Trinidad, Range has commenced a 21 well development programme less than two months after the
acquisition of the assets. Range will use three of the companys rigs to execute a programme targeting an
increase of production from a current level of approximately 600bopd to between 1,400bopd and 1,800bopd.
This programme has the potential to increase reserves and move a significant proportion of P3 and P2
reserves into P2 and P1 categories respectively as drilling gathers momentum. Of the three rigs being utilised,
Rig 1 has been inspected and re-certified for drilling by the Ministry of Energy in Trinidad and has been
mobilised to spud imminently. Rig 2 will undergo the same procedure this week followed by Rig 3.
Range has made huge progress in Trinidad in a very short time and we anticipate that sustained drilling
activity will provide positive news flow over the coming months. Similarly, with exploration drilling continuing
apace in Georgia, Range is likely keep the market updated on a 7-10 day basis. Ranges diversified portfolio
strategy is looking increasingly attractive and we retain our valuation of 27.8p* for the fully diluted equity.
*(This number differs slightly from out last published valuation purely as a function of a stronger Sterling/USD exchange rate since early July)

following commentary to be read in conjunction with the Appendix 5B (Quarterly Cash Flow Report)
which is attached. Trinidad During the quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of a 100% ownership interest, through
SOCA Petroleum, in the holding and subsidiary companies that hold three production licences in
producing onshore oilfields in Trinidad and significant local onshore drilling operations. The production acreage and operating wells cover the Morne Diablo, Beach Marcelle and South
Quarry oilfields, with the total acreage covering 16,253 gross acres on the southern coast of onshore
Trinidad. Current production from the fields is 600-700 bopd, however Range believes a minimal
work program could lift production to more than 4,000 bopd within 24-36 months on the known
reserves. In addition to the production licences for theonshore acreage, the Range acquisition also included a 100% interest in a wholly owned drilling company (located in Trinidad), which owns 5 onshore drill
rigs, 3 production rigs, 1 swab rig, storage tanks, a pipe yard and operating facilities that include a
workshop and a fabrication welding machine shop. Over and above the known reserves, significant potential exists in the deeper Herrera Formation
(refer below). The Deeper Herrera Formation will be a primary target of future exploration drilling
using company-owned drilling rigs, which are capable of reaching the depth of these formations.
Subject to the successful drill testing of this formation, the Company is ultimately targeting an
increase in the production levels to between 8,000 10,000 bopd. An independent recoverable reserves assessment by Forrest A. Garb & Associates1(completed early 2010) has provided the following certified Reserves and Resources for the 3 blocks (note: the report
does not provide an assessment of the Deeper Herrera Formations referred to above). Oil and Condensate (MMbbl) (100%) Recoverable Proved Reserves* 2.6 Probable Reserves 2.2 Possible Reserves 2.1 Total Reserves (3P)* 6.9 Prospective Resources (Undeveloped) 20 *Net Reserves take into account payment of government royalty and overriding revenue interests. The planned production doesn't take into account exploration upside with significant potential from
the deeper `Herrera Formations' which host substantial producing reserves on adjacent blocks, with
10 Herrera Formation Targets already mapped with extensive 3D Seismic existing on SOC 's three
onshore licences.
Subsequent to quarter-end, in less than 2 months from the acquisition of 100% of the Trinidad
assets, the Company has commenced its 21 development well program utilizing 3 of the Company's
rigs and is targeting an increase in production to between 1,400-1,800 bopd, and an increase and
reclassification of reserves along with extending the limits of the existing fields. Rig 1 was recently inspected and re-certified for drilling by the Ministry of Energy and has been
mobilized to spud in the coming days, Rig 2 is due for inspection and re-certification this week, soon
followed by Rig 3, with both then immediately mobilized to join Rig 1 in the development well
program. Figure 1 Range owned rig in Trinidad Figure 2 Workshop operations in Trinidad Georgia During the quarter, the Company, along with its joint venture partners, Strait Oil & Gas (UK) Limited
("Strait") and Red Emperor Resources NL ("Red Emperor") commenced mobilisation in readiness for the spudding the joint venture's first highly prospective exploration well Mukhiani in Block Vla in Georgia. The Mukhiani Well is targeting the Vani 3 prospect which has the following estimated potential
undiscovered stock tank oil initially-in-place ("STOIIP"):: Vani 3 Prospect undiscovered STOIIP* (MMbbls) P90 P50 P10 Mean Gross 41.7 92.7 178.2 115.2 Net Attributable to Range (40%) 16.737.1 71.3 46.1 *STOIIP shown here assumes that the Vani 3 Prospect contains 3 stacked reservoirs based on current stratigraphic
understanding. Any given well may encounter 1, 2, or 3 such potential reservoirs depending on the degree of relative
uplift and/or erosion at any given Prospect location. The recently completed geochemical helium survey undertaken by Range confirmed the suitability of
the first drill location with oil exploration and development prospectivity complementing the earlier
seismic work completed on the target. Subsequent to quarter-end the rig arrived in country and on site and successfully spudded mid-July.
As recently announced, the Mukhiani 1 well was progressing as planned with the lithology
encountered being in line with expectations (derived from seismic interpretations and analysis) with
the aim to reach 700m before casing would be set and logging performed. Following the successful completion of the Mukhiani 1 well, the rig will then move on to spud the
Company's second exploration well as part of the two well highly prospective drilling program in
Georgia.
Figure 3 Drilling Rig on the Mukhiani Well site
Puntland During the quarter, Range's joint venture partner and Operator of the Puntland joint ventures, Africa Oil
Corp. (" frica Oil") announced the execution of a letter of intent with a drilling subcontractor paving the
way for the mobilisation and drilling of the first milestone well in Q3 2011. Africa Oil continues with
close negotiations with the Puntland Government on various items in readiness for this historic well. Range has agreed with its joint venture partner and operator Africa Oil that the second exploration
well, will be included as part offrica Oil's exploration commitments under the Joint VentureAgreement between Range and Africa Oil. Under this agreement, Africa Oil is obliged to spend US$22.5m in both Dharoor and Nugaal before
Range reverts to a contributing basis. Africa Oil has satisfied its commitments with respect to Dharoor, however to date, still has circa
US$15m of expenditure commitments on Nugaal, with expenditure to date on Nugaal being circa
US$7.5m. With the second well being able to satisfy the joint ventures obligations under the Nugaal
PSA, Range will be carried for the first US$15m spent on the well. Africa Oil is continuing with finalising the appointment of drilling contractors and it is Range's
expectation that the appointment will occur shortly allowing mobilisation to commence for the well
in Dharoor during Q3 2011. Texas North Chapman Ranch As reported above, production for the quarter was 95k mcf of gas and 7,863 barrels of oil net to
Range, which was a significant increase from the previous quarter as a result of the successful
fracture stimulation of both the Smith # 1 and Russell Bevly wells. Since the fracture stimulation jobs
were initiated on these two wells, gross combined rates from the field hit a high of 9.3 MMcf of gas
and 800 bbl of oil per day during the month of March. During the quarter, remedial work was
performed on the Company's Smith #1 well with production tubing being installed and subsequently
completed, with the Smith #1 well back online. In addition to the two existing wells in the field, Operator Western Gulf Oil & Gas reports that it has
signed a contract for a drilling rig to drill a third well in the field, currently scheduled for mid-
October. The contract for the rig provides Range and its partners with an option to drill a follow up
well, with no penalty if a second well is not drilled. Discussions as to the location of a second 2011
well (Range's fourth in the project) are currently underway. As previously reported, the successful drilling of the third and fourth wells on North Chapman will
look to reclassify the Company's reserves from the possible category to the higher confidence
proved and probable category.Leading Petroleum Consultants, Lonquist & Co LLC's independent reserves report has estimated the
following gross commercially recoverable reserves from the North Chapman Ranch Field:


Category Natural Gas (Bcf) Oil (Mmbbls) Natural Gas Liquids (Mmbbls) Proved (P1) 62.4 4.8 4.5 Probable (P2) 34.6 2.7 2.5 Possible (P3) 142.5 10.9 10.3 Total Reserves 239.5 18.4 17.3
Set out below is Range's attributable interest in the gross recoverable reserves on 25% of the Smith
#1 well and on 20% of the remaining wells assuming the exercise of certain clawback provisions by
joint venture partners occurs following the success of the Smith #1 and Russell-Bevly wells:


Category Natural Gas (Bcf) Oil (Mmbbls) Natural Gas Liquids (Mmbbls) Proved (P1) 12.7 1.0 0.9 Probable (P2) 6.9 0.5 0.5 Possible (P3) 28.5 2.2 2.1 Total Reserves 48.1 3.7 3.5
East Texas Cotton Valley Prospect In the Company's East Texas Cotton Valley project, the Company successfully reached target depth
on the Ross 3H well at a total measured depth of 8,900 ft. and set casing to this total depth.
Completion work was then commenced and continues with open hole logs, sidewall cores, and mud
logs all indicating good porosity and oil saturation throughout the approximately 3,400 ft. horizontal
section. Prior to initiating hydraulic fracturing operations in the reservoir section, the Operator of the project
perforated two sections near the northern terminus of the lateral and swabbed in fluids in order to
confirm oil productivity. In both cases, swabbing runs yielded water. Because the project area is
adjacent to an oil field that is currently undergoing water injection as part of a secondary recovery
effort (water flooding), there is a strong likelihood that neighboring operations have pushed injected
water into the Company's acreage. Water samples are currently being analyzed to determine
whether or not this is the case. Regardless of the outcome of the tests, over 2,250 feet of horizontal
section remain to be tested before final results are known. Range remains optimistic about the probability of success in East Texas. Added Pete Landau, Range's
Executive Director, "The Ross 3H is a direct offset to a known producing well and has a horizontal
section that terminates near a well that has produced over 70,000 barrels to date. We have every
reason to believe that the Ross will be successfully completed as a producer. In the meantime,
Range, along with its partners, is taking the proper steps to identify the source of the water in order
to adjust the Ross 3H completion and its development drilling program going forward". Lonquist & Co LLC's independent reserves report has estimated the following gross commercially
recoverable oil reserves from the East Texas Cotton Valley Prospect (operated by Range's private US
partner): Oil (Mmbbls)
Reserves Category Gross (100%) Net Attributable to Range
(21.75%) Proved (P1) 1.5 0.33 Probable (P2) 1.2 0.26 Possible (P3) 2.7 0.59 Total Reserves 5.4 1.18 Corporate During the quarter the Company successfully completed a capital raising net the Company $49m
before costs with the majority of the money used for the acquisition of the 100% interest in the
Trinidad assets as referred to above. The Company also raised $1.1m through the exercise of
options. Yours faithfully

interests in the frontier state of Puntland, Somalia, the Republic of Georgia, Texas, USA and Trinidad. Range holds a 25% interest in the initial Smith #1 well and 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 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, with the prospect's project area encompasses approximately 1,570 acresencompassing a recent oil discovery. Independently assessed gross recoverable reserves in place
(on a mean 100% basis) of 5.4 Mmbbls of oil. 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 drill two wells in 2011. 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
and estimated 2 billion barrels of oil-in-place (on a mean 100% basis) with the first of two
exploration wells to be drilled in 2011 having spud in July. 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 3P reserves in place of 6.9MMbls (on a mean 100% basis). The reserves estimate for the North Chapman Ranch Project and East Texas Cotton Valley has been formulated by Lonquist & Co LLC who

Re: Quarterly report out on ASX









"East Texas Cotton Valley Prospect In the Company's East Texas Cotton Valley project, the Company successfully reached target depth
on the Ross 3H well at a total measured depth of 8,900 ft. and set casing to this total depth.
Completion work was then commenced and continues with open hole logs, sidewall cores, and mud
logs all indicating good porosity and oil saturation throughout the approximately 3,400 ft. horizontal
section. Prior to initiating hydraulic fracturing operations in the reservoir section, the Operator of the project
perforated two sections near the northern terminus of the lateral and swabbed in fluids in order to
confirm oil productivity. In both cases, swabbing runs yielded water. Because the project area is
adjacent to an oil field that is currently undergoing water injection as part of a secondary recovery
effort (water flooding), there is a strong likelihood that neighboring operations have pushed injected
water into the Company's acreage. Water samples are currently being analyzed to determine
whether or not this is the case. Regardless of the outcome of the tests, over 2,250 feet of horizontal
section remain to be tested before final results are known. Range remains optimistic about the probability of success in East Texas. Added Pete Landau, Range's
Executive Director, "The Ross 3H is a direct offset to a known producing well and has a horizontal
section that terminates near a well that has produced over 70,000 barrels to date. We have every
reason to believe that the Ross will be successfully completed as a producer. In the meantime,
Range, along with its partners, is taking the proper steps to identify the source of the water in order
to adjust the Ross 3H completion and its development drilling program going forward".

Range Resources Limited (Range or the Company) is an ASX (ASX: RRS RRSOA) and AIM (AIM: RRL) listed exploration Company, with its principal activity directed towards finding and delineating natural resources in the oil, gas and mineral sectors in Puntland, Somalia. Range Resources currently has a 100% interest in the sole and exclusive rights to all mineral and hydrocarbon exploration and development in the Somali state of Puntland which covers an area of approximately 100,000km2. Puntland is believed to have all the geological requirements to become a commercial oil-producing region. Somalia, and in particular Puntland, remains one of the last under-explored countries that has a high potential for considerable reserves of hydrocarbons which can be subsequently developed for the benefit of both the people of Puntland and Range Shareholders. The Company believes that through the generation of work and government royalties from hydrocarbon and mineral exploration and development numerous social and economic benefits will result.

Range Resources expected to produce raft of "exciting news flow" in second half - analyst
3:38 pm by Giles Gwinnett He rates the stock a "buy" and targets a share price of 27 pence With an intensive drilling programme across four countries Range Resources (LON:RRL, ASX:RRS) is expected to produce a raft of "exciting news flow" over the second half of the year, according to analyst Barney Gray at broker Old Park Lane Capital.

He rates the stock a "buy" and targets a share price of 27 pence.

"Range augmented its production base significantly over the quarter ended 30 June," said Gray, in a note today, following the firm's publication of its quarterly report.

"In particular, the company completed an exciting acquisition of producing assets in Trinidad and a work programme at North Chapman. Ranch has boosted output in Texas significantly," he said.

The firm revealed today that it was targeting a significant increase in production levels in Trinidad over the next few years.

Subsequent to quarter-end, it has begun its 21 development well program in Trinidad utilising three of the company's rigs and is targeting an increase in production to between 1,400-1,800 barrels of oil per day, and an increase and reclassification of reserves along with extending the limits of the existing fields.

In Georgia, the company, along with its joint venture partners Strait Oil & Gas (UK) Ltd and Red Emperor Resources (LON:RMP, ASX:RMP), in mid-July, spudded the joint venture's first highly prospective exploration well - Mukhiani in Block Vla in Georgia

Following the completion of Mukhiani 1, the rig will move on to spud the second exploration well as part of the two well drilling program.

In Puntland, the operator of Ranges acreage, Africa Oil Corp, is finalising the appointment of a drilling contractor for the first exploration well in a two well programme and the company expects that mobilisation for exploration drilling could commence in the third quarter, it said.

At the North Chapman Ranch in Texas, operator Western Gulf Oil & Gas has signed a contract for a drilling rig to drill a third well in the field, currently scheduled for mid-October. Discussions as to the location of a second 2011 well are currently underway.

During the quarter the company successfully completed a capital raising of US$49 million before costs, with the majority of the money used for the acquisition of the Trinidad assets.

"Ranges progress in Trinidad and Texas has de-risked the business significantly. However, the company retains exciting near term exposure to highly attractive exploration plays in Georgia and Puntland.

"We believe that Ranges portfolio has struck an important balance between production, development and exploration," said analyst Gray.

Range Resources (LON:RRL) Ltd. (UNDER REVIEW) (RRL, 15.13p, ▼ 2.42%) released its quarterly report for period ending 30 June 2011. During the quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of a 100% ownership interest, through SOCA Petroleum, in the holding and subsidiary companies that hold three production licences in producing onshore oilfields in Trinidad and significant local onshore drilling operations. During the quarter, the Company, along with its joint venture partners, Strait Oil & Gas (UK) Limited ("Strait") and Red Emperor Resources NL ("Red Emperor") commenced mobilisation in readiness for the spudding the joint venture's first highly prospective exploration well - Mukhiani in Block Vla in Georgia. The Mukhiani 1 Well is targeting the Vani 3 prospect which has estimated potential undiscovered stock tank oil initially-in-place ("STOIIP") of 92.7 MMbbl (P50 gross).

During the quarter, Range's joint venture partner and Operator of the Puntland joint venture, Africa Oil Corp. ("Africa Oil") announced the execution of a letter of intent with a drilling subcontractor paving the way for the mobilisation and drilling of the first milestone well in Q3 2011. Africa Oil continued with negotiations with the Puntland Government on various items in readiness for the historic well. In Texas, the Companys production for the quarter from North Chapman Ranch was 95k mcf of gas and 7,863 barrels of oil net to Range, which was a significant increase from the previous quarter as a result of the successful fracture stimulation of both the Smith #1 and Russell Bevly wells. Since the fracture stimulation jobs were initiated on these two wells, gross combined rates from the field hit a high of 9.3 MMcf of gas and 800 bbl of oil per day during the month of March. During the quarter, remedial work was performed on the Company's Smith #1 well with production tubing being installed and subsequently completed, with the Smith #1 well back online. The cash at the end of quarter was A$17.36 million.
