The company had applied to the Supreme Court of Western Australia to aside the statutory demand orders, but the court said it must pay.
The court said it would make an order on the deadline for repayments on 3 July, 2015.
In a statement, Range Resources said it was taking legal advice and if it appealed it would seek a time extension to repay the debt.
The company said $5.5m of the Lind facility had been drawn down and Range had repaid $0.5m.
