			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste"><span class='et-dropcap' style="font-size: 50px; color: #000;">T</span>his fund raising was conducted pursuant to the exercise of nearly 250 million outstanding options that expired at the end of December 2011, providing Range with approximately A$15.5m of additional capital.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<div>OPL successfully placed 70 million shares at 7.5p (A$0.115), issued upon exercise of the same number of options, raising £5.25m (A$8.05m) for Range.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<div></div>
<div>Range is now well positioned to advance its aggressive drilling programme across several territories in 2012. In Trinidad, Range will accelerate its multi-well development drilling schedule over the next twelve months. Meanwhile in Texas, drilling on the Albrecht #1 appraisal well on the North Chapman Ranch Project is approaching target depth and a successful result could significantly enhance the company’s reserve base and the subsequent value of its interest in the project.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<div></div>
<div>In Puntland, Range expects that high impact exploration drilling will commence soon with the spudding of Shabeel-1, the first exploration well in Puntland for over 20 years. A successful outcome in this comparatively stable region of Somalia has the potential to transform Range Resources into a major player in the UK E&amp;P sector.</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>Michael Parnes, CEO of Old Park Lane Capital, commented:  “We’re delighted to have been able to raise such a significant amount of money for Range. It is a great start to the year and we are very confident that Range will go from strength to strength in 2012.”</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class='et-dropcap' style="font-size: 50px; color: #000;">T</span>he economy and the environment will both be top of the agenda in 2012.  Barney Gray from Old Park Lane Capital, the UK’s leading dedicated natural resource broker, has offered his expert views on some of the stories that have circulated this year.<br />
Barney Gray, Head of Research at Old Park Lane Capital, said: “With economies struggling and our high dependence on energy it’s really important that policy makers base important decisions on scientific fact.”</p>
<p>Barney offers an expert insider view on some of the most controversial stories.  He says:</p>
<ul>
<li>Resource explorers are NOT going to drill popular beauty spots or mine under historic buildings in the UK:  World consumption of oil is over 80 million barrels a day. Stories about ‘a million barrels’ of oil being found in beauty spots or under historic buildings are scare stories as it would never be worth trying to recover such small amounts of oil. Also, in any new oil field, only 30% of the oil is recoverable at best and permission to drill would be unlikely to ever be granted in vaguely sensitive areas of the UK.</li>
<li>Electric cars will not save the environment:  The internal combustion engine is still the most energy efficient way to power a car.  Electric cars are more environmentally friendly by comparison on an end user basis. However, the electricity they use is produced by power stations, over 90% of which combust hydrocarbons (predominantly gas and coal) or are nuclear powered in the UK. Therefore, it is highly disingenuous to say that electric cars are more environmentally friendly than traditional cars.</li>
<li>Fracking for tight gas does not cause earthquakes or contaminate the water supply: Hydraulic fracking, which involves the fracturing of hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs deep below the earth’s surface using high-pressure liquid, has been blamed for causing earthquakes and contaminating the water supply. However, this is largely a scare story as oil and gas deposits are typically thousands of feet below the water table separated by layer upon layer of totally impermeable rock.  Additionally, the impact of highly controlled fracking of oil and gas bearing horizons is seismically insignificant and is unlikely to register to the human senses.</li>

<p><span class='et-dropcap' style="font-size: 50px; color: #000;">W</span>ithin the article he recommends people invest in silver.  He says:  “The white metal is much cheaper than gold by an order of magnitude with investors able to acquire an ounce of the precious metal for $36 currently compared to over $1700/oz for the yellow metal. Although silver has a reputation of riding along on gold’s coat tails with the two metals sharing an historical correlation, silver actually displays a fairly high degree of volatility, and potentially higher returns – Silver prices have doubled over the last 12 months for instance.</p>

		<div class='et_quote'>
			<div class='et_right_quote'>
				The gold-silver ratio (the number of ounces of silver that one ounce of gold buys) currently lies at 47 to 1 whereas the average over the last few years has been more like 60:1.
			</div>
		</div>
	
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, advocates of silver argue that the ratio has potential to fall further given the fundamental disconnect between this price-based ratio and the 10 to 1 ratio of annual silver production versus gold production. If the gold price holds steady, the implication is that silver has the potential to appreciate.</p>
<p>“In the short-term, silver is likely to follow gold’s lead with further bull runs possible due to the safe haven appeal of the metals if the global debt crisis spirals further out of control. Long term, silver has something that gold can’t claim – strong industrial demand. Aside from jewellery, silver has a host of industrial applications such as batteries, catalysts, photography, and medical technology. In fact, Industrial applications and photography represent over 50% of the current demand for silver. The rise of the middle classes in Asia looks set to fuel further growth in this area.</p>
<p>“Apart from holding physical silver (coins, bars etc), the easiest way for most investors to gain exposure would be to buy a physically-backed silver ETF (exchange traded fund) which aims to provide investors with a return equivalent to movements in the spot silver price. Alternatively, some investors may prefer to gain greater leverage by investing in silver equities – shares in silver mining companies. Due to the effect of production costs and operating margins, a 10% increase in the silver price may actually produce a 20% increase in profitability for example, which may then feed through to the share price. Fresnillo plc and Hochschild Mining are two of the main silver plays in the London market and worth a look for silver bulls.”</p>

				Range moves to acquire 100% interest in producing onshore Trinidad oilfields

		</div>
	
<p><strong>Highlights</strong></p>
<p>Range has entered in to a Heads of Agreement to acquire the remaining 90% (previously held a 10% interest) ownership interest, through SOCA Petroleum, in holding and subsidiary companies which hold three production licences in producing onshore oilfields in Trinidad together with an associated local onshore drilling operation;</p>
<ol>
<li>The acquisition complements Range&#8217;s existing portfolio of oil and gas production and development assets in Texas and exploration projects in Georgia and Puntland;</li>
<li>Trinidad has produced over 3 billion bbls to date and currently produces 100,000 bopd with both major and smaller operators active in the country. All locally produced onshore oil is acquired by the state owned petroleum refinery with logistics already established;</li>
<li>Independent geological and petroleum consulting experts Forrest Garb and Associates have assessed that the producing fields contain:</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Net Proved plus Probable Reserves (2P) of 4.8 million barrels of oil with further Possible Reserves of 2.1 million barrels.</li>
<li>Undeveloped Prospective Resources (best estimate) of 20 million barrels of oil.</li>
</ul>
<ol start="4">
<li>Current production is approximately 600 bopd with a planned work program expected to lift production to more than 4,000 bopd within 36 months on known reserves;</li>
<li>Planned production doesn&#8217;t take into account exploration upside with significant potential from the deeper `Herrera Formations&#8217; which host substantial producing reserves on adjacent blocks;</li>
<li>10 Herrera Formation Targets already mapped with extensive 3D Seismic existing on SOCA&#8217;s licences. The above Prospective Resources does not include any Herrera potential;</li>
<li>Acquisition comes with established drilling inventory, personnel and operations all in place on site;</li>
<li>Successful oversubscribed placement of GBP20m through the Company&#8217;s broker, Old Park Lane Capital to fund initial acquisition costs, with the Company looking at accepting GBP5m in over subscriptions due to demand; and</li>
<li>Current work programme now has Range participating for the rest of 2011 in 2 exploration wells in Puntland, 2 exploration wells in Georgia, at least 4 appraisal and development wells in Texas, and multiple production wells in Trinidad with at least 1 exploration well targeting the highly prospective deeper Herrera formation.</li>
</ol>
<p>Australian-based oil and gas company Range Resources Limited (&#8220;Range&#8221; or &#8220;the Company&#8221;) has entered into a binding Heads of Agreement (&#8220;HOA&#8221;) to acquire through SOCA Petroleum (&#8220;SOCA&#8221;) its right to purchase a 100% interest in a Trinidad holding company whose two wholly owned subsidiaries hold production licences for three blocks in producing onshore oilfields in Trinidad (see Figure 1) together with a local drilling company.</p>
<p>The production acreage and operating wells cover the Morne Diablo, Beach Marcelle and South Quarry oilfields, with the total acreage covering 16,253 gross acres on the southern coast of onshore Trinidad. Current production from the fields is approximately 600 bopd, however Range believes a minimal work program could potentially lift production to more than 4,000 bopd within 36 months on the known reserves.</p>
<p>In addition to the holding company parent of two subsidiaries holding production licences for the onshore acreage, the proposed Range acquisition also includes a 100% interest in a wholly owned drilling company (located in Trinidad), which owns onshore drilling equipment and related facilities.</p>
<p>The Company is planning to use company-owned drilling rigs and equipment and, with cashflow from existing production supplemented by a well advanced financing facility (to be finalised) to fund its development and exploration program which aims to increase the production from 600 bopd to 4,000 bopd within 36 months from known reserves without taking into account any exploration upside.</p>
<p>In addition to the known reserves, significant potential exists in the deeper Herrera Formation (refer below). The Deeper Herrera Formation will be a primary target of future drilling using company-owned drilling rigs, which are capable of reaching the depth of these formations. Subject to the successful drill testing of this formation, the Company is ultimately targeting an increase in the production level to between 8,000 &#8211; 10,000 bopd.</p>
<p>Range&#8217;s Executive Director, Peter Landau commented today, &#8220;With the recent strength and growth in Range&#8217;s asset base and market capitalisation, the 100% acquisition represents an incredible opportunity to compliment Range&#8217;s asset base of good value exposure to early stage, low risk production / mature<br />
exploration opportunities whilst retaining significant exposure to considerable measurable exploration upside.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Onshore Trinidad is a low cost, high operating margin environment with oil production sold at the wellhead and transported to the Pointe-a-Pierre Refinery, which has capacity for all additional planned production.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The Company believes that there is significant potential for value enhancement given the known management team and will target (subject to exploration success) an ultimate production profile of up to 10,000 bopd over the next 2-3 years ,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p><strong>Consideration </strong><br />
Under the terms of the Agreement with SOCA Petroleum, Range will pay the following to acquire the remaining 90% interest in SOCA that it doesn&#8217;t already own:</p>
<ol>
<li>The issue of 35,842,293 fully paid ordinary shares upon completion; and</li>
<li>The potential issue of two parcels of a further 17,921,146 fully paid ordinary shares upon production from the SOCA licences reaching 1,250 bopd and 2,500 bopd respectively.</li>
</ol>
<p>To help provide funding for the cash component of the acquisition consideration, Range has received commitments to a placement of 117,647,059 shares at an issue price of GBP0.17 per share to raise GBP20 million. The placement was undertaken through the Company&#8217;s UK broker, Old Park Lane Capital, to a number of sophisticated and institutional investor. The placement was well oversubscribed and Company is looking at accepting up to GBP5m in over subscriptions due to demand.</p>
<p>The placement is scheduled to settle on 27 April 2011, other than 4,426,271 shares which are scheduled to settle on 10 May 2011.</p>
<p><strong>Technical Overview of Trinidad assets to be acquired</strong></p>
<p>Historical and current oil production is from the Forest and Cruse Formations which are shallow fluvio-deltaic reservoirs with current total estimated Proved plus Probable plus Possible Reserves (3P) (on SOCA&#8217;s and third parties&#8217; licences) of 20 million barrels of oil (MMbo) (Forest A. Garb &amp; Associates report1). Current production is approximately 600 bopd from the Morne Diablo, South Quarry and Beach Marcelle fields.</p>
<p>Significant potential exists in the Deeper Herrera Formation. The Deeper Herrera Formation is a Miocene-aged deepwater turbidite. Production is typically found in the northeast to southwest thrusted structures to the east and north of the subject acreage, where the Penal field has produced more than 60 MMbo to date. 3D Seismic was used to identify prospective drilling locations in the license area that have a further undiscovered oil potential of 100 MMbo.</p>
<p>The Deeper Herrera Formation will be a target of future drilling using company-owned drilling rigs, which have the capability to reach these formations.</p>
<p>An independent recoverable reserves assessment by Forrest A. Garb &amp; Associates1 has provided the following certified Reserves and Resources for the 3 blocks (the report does not provide an assessment of the Deeper Herrera Formations referred to above).</p>

<p>Prospective Resources (Undeveloped-           20

<p>*Net Reserves (3P) take into account payment of government royalty and overriding revenue interests.</p>
<p>The planned forward development program encompasses replacement, infill and step-out wells and deeper horizon drilling on the licences, as the current<br />
fields exploit only 5 percent of the available area.</p>
<p><strong>Geological Background</strong></p>
<p>Geologically, Trinidad lies on the South American tectonic plate and falls within the Orinoco Fold Belt which is a prolific oil producer in adjacent Venezuela some 14km to the southwest. The area is recognised as a world-class petroleum province with over 3 billion barrels of oil produced to date and current production in the order of 100,000 bopd.</p>
<p>The Morne Diablo, South Quarry and Beach Marcelle licences are all within a complex thrust belt, with surface expression known as the Southern Range. The<br />
Southern Range, which contains numerous oil seeps, stretches from west to east forming the south coast of the island. Fluvial-deltaic sediments, ranging to<br />
tidal and wave-dominated, characterize the shallower producing zones in the Morne Diablo and South Quarry fields.</p>
<p>Due to growth faulting in the Beach Marcelle area, these sands are thicker and better developed there. The Pliocene-aged Cruse sands (orange layers in Figure<br />
2), can be segmented into 3 different members. The Lower Cruse is productive in the area, but largely unexplored. Just above the Lower Cruse, the Middle Cruse<br />

<p>Dow Jones Newswires<br />
20-04-11 0718GMT<br />
DJ Range Resources LTD Acquisition of 100% in -2-</p>
<p>is widespread, and is the main producer in this area. The Upper Cruse consists of nicely developed sands that offer the possibility of more localized production.</p>
<p>The Pliocene-aged Forest sands (pink layers) represent the shallowest targets. Forest sands are comprised of two main oil producing members. The Lower Forest<br />
ranges from 250 to 300 meters deep, and the Shallow Forest ranges from 100 to 150 meters deep. These sands are ubiquitous, and are the shallowest most accessible targets. In the Beach Marcelle area, the Forest equivalent is called the Gros Morne formation, where the company is considering reactivation and<br />
expansion of a waterflood to increase production. The deepwater turbidite Herrera Formation (green layers) is a prolific producer to the north, and is<br />
the target of future exploration drilling on the existing licenses.</p>
<p>Most of the fields are simple four-way dip structural rollover anticlines with significant closure to create multiple oil entrapment horizons. In some areas<br />
these anticlines show overturned reservoirs, thereby creating repeated reservoir intervals capable of trapping oil as shown in Figure 2.</p>
<p><strong>Technical Team</strong></p>
<p>The development of SOCA&#8217;s Trinidad Licences will be overseen by 3 key executives &#8211; 2 of whom already have assisted Range with its Texas interests and a key member of the current Trinidad management team.</p>
<p><strong>Greg Smith (Chairman)</strong></p>
<p>Greg Smith has over 20 years of experience encompassing investigation, analysis, conceptual planning, exploration, development, financing (equity and<br />
debt), environmental aspects, governmental relations, high level negotiations, acquisitions, executive management and corporate governance within the minerals<br />
and energy sectors. He has a wide breadth of senior management and executive experience, having been associated with natural resource companies across the<br />
globe, including coal-bed methane in Wyoming; onshore oil and gas in Guatemala and Colombia; underground and open pit zinc mines in Canada; and corporate<br />
finance and advisory services throughout the world.</p>
<p><strong>Mark Patterson (Chief Executive Officer)</strong></p>
<p>Mr. Patterson has over 25 years of experience in the oil and gas industry in both North and South America. During his 13 years with Maxus Energy Corporation<br />
and its predecessor company Diamond Shamrock, he occupied positions of increasing responsibility including Offshore Exploration Manager, Exploration &amp;<br />
Development Manager for North America, and General Manager for Maxus Bolivia, Inc. Prior to joining Diamond Shamrock, Mr. Patterson worked as Offshore Exploration Geophysicist for Getty Oil Company and was Engineering Geophysicist for Fairfield Industries.</p>
<p><strong>Texas Update</strong></p>
<p>The Company is pleased to announce that drilling continues on the Ross 3H horizontal well at the East Cotton Valley Project in Texas. The curved portion<br />
of the well, or the &#8220;build&#8221;, has been successfully drilled and cased. Drilling within the horizontal section continues, with good evidence of oil saturation<br />
and reservoir quality present in the cuttings. The well has reached a total measured depth of approximately 6,800 ft (2,100m), with another 1,700 ft<br />
(520m), or horizontal section remaining to be drilled.</p>
<p>If successful, the Ross 3H is expected to launch a horizontal development drilling program that could require more than 20 additional wells to produce<br />
the oil reserves present.</p>
<p>The Company is also pleased to announce that its North Chapman Ranch Development continues with the successful fracture stimulation of the Smith #1<br />
and Russell Bevly Unit #1 wells. Since frac jobs were initiated on the two wells, gross combined rates from the field have increased by more than 500%,<br />
reaching 9.3 MMcf and 800 bbl of oil per day during the month of March. Range and its partners are also planning to spud a third well in the field. The<br />
Albrecht #1 well is expected to spud in late Q2 / early Q3, with the possibility of a follow-up back to back well being discussed, subject to<br />
success with the Albrecht.</p>
<p><strong>Issue of Shares and Options</strong></p>
