For those shareholders who actively follow the fortunes of Range, it will come as no surprise when I say that the 12 month period was an eventful one, which delivered both solid foundations for significant future growth and, frustration, with the drilling of the first well in Puntland, Somalia still yet to occur. Puntland Operating in Puntland has had, and will continue to have, its difficulties. Range is committed to its involvement in Puntland and is of the firm belief that when a project of significant substance has the capacity to benefit all involved, be it the Puntland Government, the Puntland people, our joint venture partner Africa Oil, Range and our shareholders; patience and determination will ultimately deliver success. During the year Puntland had a change in Government through peaceful democratic elections and Range has established a good working relationship the Government of His Excellency Dr Abdirahman Mohamed Mohamud. His Excellency's commitment to enhanced security, infrastructure and economic development in Puntland will assist all companies in operating in the region and make Puntland a more attractive investment destination. As at the date of this letter, the Government and Africa Oil are in negotiations regarding the commencement of Africa Oil's planned 4 well drilling programme, following Africa Oil's delineation of targets in both the Nogal and Dharoor valleys. Range is confident that a successful outcome will be reached and that at least 2 wells will be drilled during the 2009/2010 financial year. In addition to the onshore activity of our joint venture partner, Range has progressed significantly in creating the first comprehensive oil and gas exploration database on all of offshore Puntland, collating, reviewing and interpreting over 40 years worth of material including historical well reports and seismic lines. The database was presented to the new government and negotiations are continuing with regards to formalising production sharing agreements to enable the Puntland Government, Range and potential joint venture partners to commence an offshore seismic programme. Georgia and Texas The Board is pleased to report that in addition to the Puntland projects, the Company has also obtained working interests in the Republic of Georgia (50% farm-in into 2 strategic blocks - 7,000km2 area) and Texas, USA (25% interest - 1,280 acres in a prolific oil and gas producing trend - currently drilling with target depth expected first week of October 2009 after release of this letter). Both opportunities were undertaken to strengthen Range's oil and gas portfolio and provide the foundations for significant growth over the coming years. A review of these projects is provided in the Director's Report of this document. Moving Forward Range management was strengthened significantly during the year with the addition of Mark Patterson and Greg Smith. Together with the existing Board (who I thank for all their efforts), Range is still on the cusp of achieving something unique but is under no illusions of the continued difficulties that need to be overcome in order to succeed. The number one priority of the Company is to ensure and assist (in any way it can) with the drilling of the first on shore well in Puntland in over 17 years. Most important of all, I would like to thank all shareholders for their continued support and patience in what I, and the rest of the Board acknowledge, as being an incredibly frustrating journey but one which still offers significant investment upside during the year ahead.
