RANGE ACQUIRES INTEREST IN SECOND TEXAS OIL FIELD

Building on its success at North Chapman Ranch, Range Resources Limited (“Range” or “the
Company”) is pleased to announce that it has acquired a 13.56% interest in approximately 1,570
gross acres encompassing a recent oil discovery located in Red River County, Texas, for total
leasehold acquisition costs of $US254,000.
Development of the shallow oil reservoir in the Cotton Valley formation is expected to begin in July
with the drilling of a horizontal appraisal well in the field, where gross recoverable reserves could of
between 4 to 6 million barrels of oil.

Background

The East Texas Cotton Valley oil accumulation was discovered in March of 2008 with the drilling of a
vertical well to approximately 5,500 ft. The initial well encountered more than 100 ft. of gross oil pay
at approximately 5,300 ft and was immediately placed into production. A horizontal appraisal well
spudded in December of 2008 encountered good quality reservoir in a lateral section approximately
1,500 ft. long, but was badly damaged during completion. A second horizontal well is expected to
spud in the third quarter of this year. If successful, the upcoming well will trigger further
development of the Cotton Valley field that could ultimately require more than 20 additional wells,
with a targeted average recovery per well of over 220,000 barrels of oil. With horizontal well costs
estimated at $1.57MM, gross finding & development costs are expected to be less than $7. 15/bbl.

Reserves

The recoverable reserves estimates represents the low to high range of the volume of oil that it
considers will be economically recoverable form the reservoir. Whilst this estimate has been
reviewed by the Company’s technical consultant and advisors, Texas Energy Advisors LLC, who have
over 30 years of relevant experience in the oil and gas sector, it has not yet been signed off as being
consistent with the SAPE reserve and resources reporting guidelines.
In this respect, the Company has commissioned independent petroleum consultants Lonquist & Co.
LLC to certify the recoverable reserves of the Cotton Valley formation located on the Range acreage.
Results of the reserve report are expected shortly and will be released as soon as they are available.
