30 October 2009
QUARTERLY REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING 30 SEPTEMBER 2009 The Board is pleased to provide the following commentary to be read in conjunction with the Appendix 5B which is attached. Puntland Africa Oil (80% interest, 15% subject to farm-out by Africa Oil to Raytec), Range's Joint Venture partner on the two on-shore Puntland concessions and the Puntland Government continued negotiations to formalise the commencement of the proposed drilling program for Q1 2010. Finalisation is scheduled for the current quarter (Q4 2009). Following technical presentations to the Government on the proposed offshore areas of interest, Range continues negotiations regarding the formalisation of a new PSA with respect to the exploration and development of off shore Puntland. Georgia In July 2009 the Company entered into a Heads of Agreement with unlisted UK Company, Strait Oil & Gas (UK) Limited to acquire a 50% farm-in interest in two Oil & Gas blocks in Georgia, Eastern Europe. The two blocks subject to this agreement, Blocks VIa and Vlb cover a contiguous area of 7,000 sq km (approx 10% of the surface area of the Country) and were subject to significant exploration in the Soviet era. Led by Range's seasoned international energy executives, the Company is well placed (in conjunction with Strait's established team) to find and produce commercial volumes of oil and natural gas on the Georgian Blocks. On 4 September 2009 at the Company's General Meeting, shareholders approved the acquisition subject to completion of due diligence and all necessary regulatory approvals. The process should be finalised in November 2009. During the quarter, key activities undertaken by Strait included: a. commencement of study into the viability of previously drilled wells to assess potential for Gas production; b. Seismic contractor selected to complete proposed 350 km 2D seismic programme. Contractor available immediately upon Strait/Range confirmation; and c. All necessary environmental impact studies completed for seismic programme. Figure 1. Previous evidence of Oil and Gas - please see website. Direct indications of oil have been documented from wells drilled within, and contiguous to Blocks VIA & VIB Texas During the quarter, Range acquired a 25% working interest in the North Chapman Ranch project located in Nueces County, Texas. The project area encompasses approximately 1,280 acres in one of the most prolific oil and gas producing trends in the state of Texas. Smith #1 Well - North Chapman Branch The exploration well Smith #1 spudded on 4 September 2009. Surface casing was set and cemented at 1,528 ft (465m) and the well was subsequently drilled to the intermediate casing depth of 11,352 ft (3,455m). Open hole logs were acquired on October 9, 2009, and 9 5/8" casing set and cemented shortly thereafter. Well Details
Current depth (30 10 09) ~13,350 ft (4,069m)
Figure 1: Unit Texas Rig #35 drilling ahead on Smith #1 well - please see website. North Chapman Ranch Background North Chapman Ranch is situated within the prolific Frio producing trend just north of the Chapman Ranch in the Mobil David and Doughty Fields. The Mobil David field was discovered in 1965 when Mobil drilling the Chapman #1B well and completed the well in the Laureles Sand (now the Howell Hight). Since then, an estimated 250 billion cubic feet of natural gas and more than 10 million barrels of oil have been produced from this field, primarily from the Anderson sandstone. Recently, several operators in the area have been successfully developing the deeper Howell Hight formation, with some wells exhibiting flow rates in the 6-9 million cubic feet per day range. The currently drilling Smith #1 well is programmed to test the Howell Hight formation in a location near that of the recently drilled Zdansky #1 well. The operator was unable to complete the Zdansky well due to hole problems. If successful, the Smith #1 well could trigger significant oil and gas production and development drilling with very attractive economics, at a time when exploration and development costs in the US have dropped dramatically. In addition, the favourable operating and regulatory environment in Texas serves to mitigate perceived political risk associated with Range's other international exploration projects. Capital Raising The Company successfully completed a Placement of 100 m ordinary fully paid shares at an issue price of 3.5 cents with a free attaching listed option (5 cents , 31 December 2011 ) to sophisticated and institutional investors raising $3.5 m to assist in meeting the initial requirements of the Georgian acquisition, Puntland operations and working capital. The Placement was completed in two tranches (20 m shares up front to raise $700,000 ) with the balance (80 m shares and 10 0m options) approved by shareholders at the Company's General Meeting on 4 September 2009. Corporate The Company's Annual Report and Notice of Annual General Meeting has been despatched to shareholders and can be viewed on the Company's website www.rangeresources.com.au By order of the Board Peter Landau Executive Director Contacts Range Resources Peter Landau Tel: +61 8 9488 5220 Em: plandau@rangeresources.com.au
