On behalf of the Board of Range Resources Limited ("Range"), I am reporting to
you on the events of the Company during the 2008/2009 financial year.
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.

Executive Director
