               Range Resources Clarifies Inaccurate Web Article                

Range Resources Limited (ASX: RRS, AIM: RRL) ("Range" or "the Company") the oil
and gas explorer with assets in Puntland, Somalia, have been made aware of a
recent misleading and defamatory "news" posting on the website called
Garoweonline , under the heading "Somaliland Minerals Minister Accused of
Receiving Kick Backs". This article was attributed to the Somaliland Times.
Puntland and neighbouring Somaliland are currently in a dispute over an area of
land relating to short-term colonial borders as opposed to historic tribal
areas.

In response to the various incorrect statements and claims made in this
article, the Company would like to make the following specific comments:

  * No Directors of the Company nor any Company representatives or employees
    have ever met the Somaliland minister referred to in the article (Qassim
    Yusuf) and no payments have ever been made to this person by the Company.
    Range's oil and gas and minerals exploration interests and activities are
    solely in Puntland and, at this stage, the Company has no intention of
    commencing any activities in Somaliland. The Company further notes that the
    Minister in question and another businessman referred to in the article
    have also denied the allegations and have stated an intention to commence
    defamation proceedings against the publisher;
   
  * The article also make an incorrect reference to $2.5m and a further 17
    monthly payments of $200,000 paid by the Company to the President of
    Puntland. The Company assumed the payment obligations to the Puntland
    Government under the original Contract of Work that was agreed to, and
    ratified by, the Puntland Parliament. The Puntland government has confirmed
    by written confirmation that all funds have been received under the
    Contract of Work.
   
  * The reference in the article to $16.7m being paid by the Company to
    Puntland authorities is also incorrect. The Company, in accordance with its
    cash flow reporting requirements, disclosed the amount. Approximately
    two-thirds (2/3) of the funds referred to relate to payments by Range to
    acquire the remaining 49.9% of the original Puntland interest as approved
    by Shareholders (they are not payments to the Government).
   
  * The article also incorrectly states, "the Puntland leader agreed that Range
    grant an 80% interest in the Nugal and Dharoor blocks to a new company
    called Canmex Minerals". The Production Sharing Agreements entered into
    between the Puntland Government, Range and its joint venture partner,
    TSX-listed Africa Oil Corporation (formerly Canmex Minerals) are unanimous
    Acts of the Puntland parliament.
   
  * The Company categorically denies that it or any of its directors or
    employees have ever engaged in any criminal or dishonest activity as
    alleged in the article.
   
  * The Company believes that the article is defamatory of both it and its
    directors and all appropriate legal avenues are currently being pursued.
   
As a general comment, the Company has in the past noted stories on this website
that were factually incorrect but has not specifically responded to these
stories. However, in this instance and given the proximity to the commencement
of seismic and drilling activity in Puntland by the Company's joint venture
partner, Africa Oil, the Company believes it is appropriate to respond to the
increasing volume of false and misleading statements being made by minority
groups for their own political and / or commercial ends.

Shareholders should be aware that as the Company further progresses towards
drilling at the project it may be subject to innuendo and false conjecture as
to the status of the project. The directors advise that any shareholders who
have concerns or queries relating to any media or web site article should
contact the Company directly to allay their concerns about misinformation.

It is disappointing that the Company was not directly asked to clarify these
issues.

Range, together with Africa Oil, is committed to the development of its assets
in Puntland in a manner that provides tangible benefits to the region and its
people as well as to shareholders.

Further information about Range Resources and Puntland can be found at either
the Range Resources corporate website (www.rangeresources.com.au), or the newly
launched official Puntland Government website (www.puntlandgov.net).

The Company is pursuing this matter with all available resources and advises
shareholders and potential investors to fully analyse all information prior to
making any decisions. The recent Opes Prime collapse has also added to the
destabilisation efforts despite less than 1% of the Company's shares being held
in accounts with Opes Prime and, consequently, being sold down by ANZ.

Opes Prime Update

As previously announced less than 1% of the Company's issued share capital was
held in Opes accounts (approximately 1.4m shares). The Company can confirm that
all Range shares previously held in Opes accounts have now been sold as part of
the ANZ liquidation process.

Of note, the Company is very keen to enhance media understanding and promotion
of its Puntland Project (especially with the imminent commencement of the
US$50m seismic and drilling programme) and hopes that an open dialogue will
avoid any unnecessary distraction from what is certainly going to be an
exciting 6 months for the Company.
