                          ("Range" or "the Company")

               Successful Bid for St. Mary's Block in Trinidad

The Board of Range is pleased to announce that the Company has been
successful with its bid for the St. Mary's block in Trinidad following the
submission in the Trinidad Onshore Bid Round 2013. The successful bid was
formally announced by the Ministry of Energy of Trinidad today at the Trinidad
and Tobago Energy Conference.

The St. Mary's block comprises 44,731 acres spread over 4
sub-blocks contiguous to Range's existing Morne Diablo license and the
Guayaguayare license (see Niko Resources Ltd. farm-in announcement on 17
December 2013). The main reservoir targets identified in St Mary's block are
Pliocene Deltaic sands, Miocene Herrera sands, Cretaceous sands and the source
rock itself.

The Company will make a further announcement on the future plans
for the St Mary's license in due course.

Rory Scott Russell, CEO, commented:

"I am very pleased to be able to announce the award of this
significant new acreage today, further consolidating our position and
deepening our commitment to safely exploring and developing onshore oil in
Trinidad." Yours faithfully

Range Background

Range Resources Limited is a dual listed (ASX:RRS; AIM:RRL) oil & gas
exploration company with oil & gas interests in Trinidad; Puntland, Somalia;
the Republic of Georgia; Guatemala; Texas, USA, and Colombia.

- In Trinidad Range holds a 100% interest in holding companies with three
onshore production licenses and fully operational drilling subsidiary.
Independently assessed Proved (P1) reserves in place of 17.5 MMBO with 25.2
MMBO of proved, probable and possible (3P) reserves and an additional 81 MMBO
of unrisked prospective resources. Range also has a farm in with Niko
Resources giving it exposure to circa 280,000 acres of prospective onshore and
offshore acreage.

- In the Republic of Georgia, Range holds a 45% farm-in interest in onshore
blocks VIa and VIb, covering approx. 7,000sq.km. The Company is focussing on a
revised development strategy that will focus on low-cost, shallow appraisal
drilling of the contingent resources around the Tkibuli-Shaori ("Tkibuli")
coal deposit, which straddles the central sections of the Company's two
blocks, along with attracting potential farm-in partners across the license
areas given the recent review performed across the licenses.

- In Puntland, Range holds a 20% working interest in two licenses encompassing
the highly prospective Dharoor and Nugaal valleys. The operator and 60%
interest holder, Horn Petroleum Corp. (TSXV:HRN) has completed two exploration
wells and will continue with a further seismic and well program over the next
12-18 months.

- Range is earning a 65% (option to move to 75%) interest in highly
prospective licences in the Putumayo Basin in Southern Colombia. Farm–in
interest from a number of parties has been received and preparations for the
seismic programme will be initiated subject to further financing becoming
available.

- Range has taken a strategic stake (19.9%) in Citation Resources Limited
(ASX: CTR) which holds a 60% interest in Latin American Resources (LAR). LAR
holds an 80-100% interest in two oil and gas development and exploration
blocks in Guatemala with Canadian NI 51-101 certified proved plus probable
(2P) reserves of 2.3 MMBBL (100% basis). Range also holds a 20% interest in
LAR.

SPE Definitions for Proved, Probable, Possible Reserves and Prospective
Resources

Proved Reserves are those quantities of petroleum, which by analysis of
geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to
be commercially recoverable, from a given date forward, from known reservoirs
and under defined economic conditions, operating methods, and government
regulations.

Probable Reserves are those additional Reserves which analysis of geoscience
and engineering data indicate are less likely to be recovered than Proved
Reserves but more certain to be recovered than Possible Reserves.

Possible Reserves are those additional reserves which analysis of geoscience
and engineering data indicate are less likely to be recoverable than Probable
Reserves.

1P refers to Proved Reserves, 2P refers to Proved plus Probable Reserves and
3P refers to Proved plus Probable plus Possible Reserves.

Prospective Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a
given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by
application of future development projects. Prospective Resources have both an
associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. Prospective
Resources are further subdivided in accordance with the level of certainty
associated with recoverable estimates assuming their discovery and development
and may be sub-classified based on project maturity.

Contingent Resources are those quantities of hydrocarbons which are estimated,
on a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations, but
which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable.

Undiscovered Oil-In-Place is that quantity of oil which is estimated, on a
given date, to be contained in accumulations yet to be discovered. The
estimated potentially recoverable portion of such accumulations is classified
as Prospective Resources, as defined above.
