                           PUNTLAND DRILLING UPDATE                            

Highlights

  * Puntland Government and Africa Oil Corp. agree to adjust specific milestone
    target dates.
   
  * Contracts for a drilling rig and third party services are in advanced
    stages of negotiations with contract execution scheduled for early August.
   
  * Drilling of two wells now scheduled to occur in Q4, 2011.
   
International oil and gas exploration, development and production company,
Range Resources Limited ("Range" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that
its Puntland Joint Venture partner and operator, Africa Oil Corp ("Africa
Oil"), through its newly created company Horn Petroleum Corp. ("Horn
Petroleum") is currently in final preparations to commence the historic and
highly prospective two well drilling campaign in the Dharoor Valley Block in
Puntland, with the first well scheduled to spud early in the fourth quarter of
2011.

The drilling locations have been selected over two robust prospects and each
well is targeting gross best estimate prospective resources of 300 million
barrels and 375 million barrels recoverable for the two prospects (with net
attributable prospective resources to Range of 60 million barrels and 75
million barrels respectively). Contracts for the drilling rig and third party 
services are in advanced stages of negotiation and are expected to be executed 
in early August.

The Puntland Government and Dharoor Valley communities are fully supportive of
the drilling project and have ensured they will do all necessary to allow the
project to move forward safely and expeditiously. Specific milestone target
dates have been adjusted by the Puntland Government allowing the Company and
partners to move the drilling start-up to the fourth quarter of 2011. In
addition, partial relinquishments in both the Dharoor Valley and Nugaal Valley
agreements have been finalized and approved.

Range Resources Executive Director, Peter Landau commented, "We are delighted
that JV partner and Puntland operator, Africa Oil Corp., along with the
Puntland Government have settled on mutually agreeable terms that will finally
see a well(s) drilled in Puntland, Somalia this year. We look forward to
advising the market in the coming week(s) as critical service contracts are
entered into and mobilization begins."

"Range is certainly entering into an exciting stage for the Company, with the
drilling of the first exploration well in Georgia progressing well, the first
well in the 21 well initial Trinidad work program having spudded and scheduled 
to be completed and on-line mid next week before moving on to the next well in
this program. Also with a contractor appointed for the third well on the North 
Chapman Ranch Project, the Company will have its four operations all active in 
September and October of this year. "

Yours faithfully

Peter Landau
Executive Director
