ASX Price Query and Texas Sale Update
Range Resources Limited ("Range" or the "Company") wishes to advise that it has
received a share price query from the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX")
and in response has confirmed that:
* The Company is not aware of any information concerning it, that has not
been announced and which, if known, could be an explanation for recent
trading in the securities of the Company.
* The Company has confirmed that it is in compliance with the ASX listing
rules.
* The Company notes the recent decrease in its share price on the AIM market
where the Company is dual listed and where the majority of the Company's
shares trade, with the decline in the ASX reflecting this recent decrease
on AIM, however as stated above - is not aware of any other information
concerning it, that has not been announced and which, if known, could be an
explanation for recent trading in the securities of the Company.
* As previously announced, whilst the purchaser of its Texas assets continues
to indicate that it is proceeding to complete settlement of the
acquisition, Range is still awaiting receipt of the final consideration for
the sale of these assets with Range agreeing to extend the settlement
deadline (on a day by day basis by mutual agreement) and will update the
market when funds are received. The Company understands that the delays
have largely been a result of unanticipated banking procedural requirements
for the international transfer of the funds and that these are currently
expected to be resolved within the coming weeks.
Yours faithfully
Peter Landau

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.
