STRATEGIC STAKE IN CITATION RESOURCES

Highlights

- Range increases its Latin American footprint by acquiring a strategic 
  stake of 19.9% in Citation Resources Limited (ASX:CTR), with
  interest in two highly prospective oil and gas blocks in Guatemala;

- The strategic stake allows Range to obtain non-operating exposure to 
  known reserves with significant upside potential with a similar owner /
  operator project to Range's Trinidad operations;

- The Guatemalan Blocks have proved plus probable reserve estimates (2P) of 
  2.3 MMBBL (on a gross 100% basis), with significant exploration upside
  potential;

- The blocks have had significant previous exploration with the two well 
  appraisal drilling program currently underway with one well already
  successfully completed and flow testing currently ongoing; and

- The second well will spud in February upon completion of current
  flow testing program on the first well.


Range Resources Limited ("Range" or "the Company") is pleased to
announce that as part of the Board's on-going review of opportunities and
strategic options, Range has secured a strategic stake (19.9%) in Citation
Resources Limited ("Citation") (ASX:CTR). Citation holds a farm in right to
acquire a 70% interest in Latin American Resources Ltd ("LAR"), which holds an
80-100% interest in two oil and gas development and exploration blocks in
Guatemala ("Projects"). LAR is the operator of the blocks. Additionally, Range
has acquired a direct 10% equity stake in LAR.

The Projects consist of Block 1-2005 and Block 6-93 in the South
Peten Basin in Guatemala ("Guatemalan Blocks"). The Guatemalan Blocks have
Canadian NI 51-101 certified proved plus probable (2P) reserves of 2.3 MMBBL
(with approximately 0.45 - 0.6 MMBBls attributable to Range's combined equity
interest in Citation and 10% direct interest in LAR), with significant
exploration upside potential. In addition, the blocks have had significant
previous exploration with the two well appraisal drilling program currently
underway with the Atzam #4 well having already been successfully completed and
flow testing currently underway. The Projects and drilling/operational
infrastructure are owned by LAR together with its minority joint venture
partners in a similar set up to Range's Trinidad operations.

The strategic stake in Citation and LAR provides Range with
non-operating exposure to a project with known reserves and significant short
term upside potential, as well as creating the potential spin off vehicle for
the company's Puntland assets.

Given the current share price and the development potential of
Trinidad, the Company's operational and financial focus remains on Trinidad.
With that view, Range believes the stake in Citation to be a cost effective
growth opportunity with minimal further funding required in the near term.

Transaction Details

Range will acquire its 19.9% strategic interest in Citation, by
conversion of existing debt funding provided by Range to Citation into
ordinary Citation shares (subject to any necessary Citation shareholder
approvals) at $0.02 with a 1 for 2 free attaching listed Citation option
($0.04, June 2015), which is approximately $2m for the 19.9% interest. In
addition, Range will pay $2m for the 10% interest in LAR, which is finance
carried through the first US$25m spent on the Project.

Concurrently, Range has completed a placement of 40m new shares to
Citation nominees at A$0.05 per share (being a premium to the current share
price) to raise gross proceeds of $2m, along with the issue of 40,000,000
unlisted options ($0.05, 31 January 2016) in facilitation, introduction and
corporate advisory fees.

Executive Director Peter Landau commented:

"The acquisition of the interest in Guatemala through the strategic
stake in Citation Resources and at project level further strengthens our
portfolio of assets in the region that has yielded significant discoveries,
yet remains relatively underexplored. This acquisition is consistent with
Range's strategy of acquiring low cost barrels in areas of strategic
advantage. It provides Range with a unique opportunity to participate in near
term appraisal and development along with potential high impact exploration
opportunities at minimal costs. We now look forward to the flow test results
from the first well, and subsequent spudding of the second well."

Guatemala Projects Summary - Atzam and Tortugas Formations

The Projects consist of Block 1-2005 and Block 6-93 in the South
Peten Basin in Guatemala ("Guatemalan Blocks"). As reported by Citation, the
Guatemalan Blocks have Canadian NI 51-101 certified proved plus probable (2P)
reserves of 2.3 MMBBL, with significant exploration upside potential. In
addition the blocks have had significant previous exploration with the two
well appraisal drilling program currently underway with the Atzam #4 well
having already been successfully completed and flow testing currently
underway. The projects and drilling / operational infrastructure are owned by
LAR together with its minority joint venture partners in a similar set up to
Range's Trinidad operations.

The first appraisal well Atzam #4, which successfully drilled to
its target depth of 4,500 ft., is currently undergoing flow testing
operations. The intention is for the second well, Atzam #5, to spud following
completion of the flow testing program on the Atzam #4 well. The Atzam #4 well
is being drilled on the same structure that the Atzam #2 well tested at an
initial flow rate of up to 1,200 BOPD of 34°API oil at a depth of 3,850 ft.

Recent mapping of the Atzam structure using existing data from
previous operators (Basic, Hispanoil) and MEM, and incorporating reservoir
data acquired since production initiated in December 2007, indicate the
possibility of a structure of comparable size and orientation to that of the
existing Rubelsanto field in Guatemala. To date, the Rubelsanto field has
produced more than 30 MMBBL of oil since its discovery in 1976. The field
currently continues to produce more than 1,000 BOPD, 36 years after its
discovery.

In addition to the Atzam structures on Block 1-2005, the Tortugas
structure is a suspended oil field. Originally 17 wells on Tortugas salt dome
were drilled by Monsanto looking for sulphur. One well (T9B) had an oil
blowout at approx 2,200 ft and most others had oil shows in multiples zones.

The Atzam and Tortugas Fields have had significant previous
exploration and development with 2D seismic and previous production wells. In
2012/13 the planned exit production is approximately 1,000 bbl/d based on
successful production from the two new appraisal wells based on the previous
flow rates of wells drilled on the same structure.

Guatemala Overview

Guatemala is a politically stable country with a developing
economy. Guatemala has enjoyed political stability since 1983 when the first
free election for National Assembly (Congress) took place and a new
constitution, currently in force was approved. In 1985 the first civil
president was elected. Since that date, there have been six civilian
presidents elected in free and democratic elections. Guatemala has enjoyed
more than 30 years of stability, in the social, economic, and political
sectors

Underpinning development in Guatemala are excellent fiscal terms
with net backs per barrel of approximately US$45 (assuming US$80 oil price)
after all costs (including taxes and royalties).

Current production in Guatemala is approximately 14,000 bopd with
similar hydrocarbon geology to Mexico. The trends of major Mexican discoveries
(such as the Nazareth Field) have been found to extend into Guatemala. The
major producing basins, North Peten and South Peten, account for 90% of
domestic production.

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, Trinidad and Colombia.

- In Trinidad Range holds a 100% interest in holding companies with three 
  onshore production licenses and fully operational drilling subsidiary.
  Independently assessed Proved (P1) reserves in place of 17.5 MMbls with 25.2
  MMbls of proved, probable and possible (3P) reserves and an additional 81
  MMbls of unrisked best estimate 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 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)
  exploration well having spudded in July in 2011. The Company is focussing on a
  revised development strategy that will focus on low-cost, shallow appraisal
  drilling of the contingent resources around the Tkibuli-Shaori ("Tkibuli")
  coal deposit, which straddles the central sections of the Company's two blocks.

- In Puntland, Range holds a 20% working interest in two licenses encompassing 
  the highly prospective Dharoor and Nugaal valleys. The operator and 60% 
  interest holder, Horn Petroleum Corp. (TSXV:HRN) has completed two
  exploration wells and will continue with a further seismic and well program
   over the next 12-18 months.

- 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. Independently assessed 3P reserves 
  in place (on a 100% basis) of 228 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, 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.

- Range is earning a 65% (option to move to 75%) interest in the highly 
  prospective PUT 6 and PUT 7 licences in Putumayo Basin in Southern
  Colombia. The Company will undertake a 350km2 3D seismic program across the
  two licences and drill one well per licence, as well as looking to re-enter a
  previously suspended well that had a significant historical reserve estimate.

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.

1P refers to Proved Reserves, 2P refers to Proved plus Probable
Reserves and 3P refers to Proved plus Probable plus Possible 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.

Contingent Resources are those quantities of hydrocarbons which are
estimated, on a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known
accumulations, but which are not currently considered to be commercially
recoverable.

Undiscovered Oil-In-Place is that quantity of oil which is
estimated, on a given date, to be contained in accumulations yet to be
discovered. The estimated potentially recoverable portion of such
accumulations is classified as Prospective Resources, as defined above.
