EXPLANATORY STATEMEN T

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ Report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.mecresources.com.au.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

1.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2012.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

1.2 Voting consequences

Under recent changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of a general meeting to consider the appointment of Directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting.

If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the Directors of the Company who were in office when the Directors’ report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended immediately before the second annual general meeting) was approved, other than the Managing Director, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

6

1.3 Previous Voting Results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were more than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution will be relevant for this Annual General Meeting if at least 25% of the votes cast on the Remuneration Report resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report. Refer to Resolution 5 and Section 5 for further information.

As stated in the Remuneration Report, the remuneration policy of the Company has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives as determined by the Board and/or Shareholders. The Board believes the remuneration policy of the Company to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Company as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders. Remuneration for both Executive and Non Executive Directors has not increased since the Company was incorporated. Remuneration is reviewed annually by reference to the Company’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.

1.4 Proxy Restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for Resolution 1 should note the following:

If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel as your proxy

If you elect to appoint a member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of that member, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote . Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be included in any vote on Resolution 1.

If you appoint the Chair as your proxy

If you elect to appoint the Chair as your proxy, you do not need to direct the Chair how you wish them to exercise your vote on Resolution 1, however if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you must tick the acknowledgement on the proxy form to acknowledge that the Chair may exercise their discretion in exercising your proxy even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel .

If you appoint any other person as your proxy

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote, and you do not need to tick any further acknowledgement on the proxy form.

1.5 Definitions

Key Management Personnel has the same meaning as in the accounting standards and broadly includes those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company.

Closely Related Party of a member of the Key Management Personnel means:

7

  • (a) a spouse or child of the member;

  • (b) a child of the member’s spouse;

  • (c) a dependent of the member or the member’s spouse;

  • (d) anyone else who is one of the member’s family and may be expected to influence the member, or be influenced by the member, in the member’s dealing with the entity;

  • (e) a company the member controls; or

  • (f) a person prescribed by the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth ).

Remuneration Report means the remuneration report set out in the Director’s report section of the Company’s annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2012.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MS DEBORAH AMBROSINI

Clause 11.3 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third, shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 11.3 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has four Directors and accordingly one must retire.

Ms Deborah Ambrosini, the Director longest in office since her last election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY– SHARES

3.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ).

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

8

The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $11,374,360.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in Section 3.2 below).

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing 7.1.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 3 for it to be passed.

3.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has two classes of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares and listed Options (ASX Code: MMR).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

  • (iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under this rule;

  • (iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

D

is 10%.

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

9

3.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 3:

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in Section 3.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).

or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).

(c)

Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  • of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. The current shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 14 September 2012.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 13 September 2012.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  6. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

  • (i) as cash consideration, in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for further investment in its investee companies and also toward general working capital of the Company; or

  • (ii) as non-cash consideration for payment of consultancy services incurred by its investee company Advent Energy Limited ( Advent ) associated with continued exploration expenditure on Advent’s current assets, in which case the Company will

11

provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

(e)

Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

(f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company has not previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

3.4 Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 3.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – REPLACEMENT OF AUDITOR

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, the Company’s current auditor, has given notice of its intention to resign as auditor of the Company to ASIC (under Section 329(5) of the Corporations Act).

Upon receipt of ASIC’s consent to their resignation, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu has advised that it will submit a notice of resignation to the Company in accordance with Sections 329(5) of the Corporations Act, such resignation to take effect from the date of the Meeting.

In accordance with Section 328B(1) of the Corporations Act, the Company has sought and obtained a nomination from a Shareholder for Nexia Perth to be appointed as the Company’s auditor. A copy of this nomination is attached to this Explanatory Statement as Annexure A.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the appointment of Nexia Perth as the Company’s auditor will take effect from the close of the Annual General Meeting.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – SPILL RESOLUTION

If less than 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report, the Chair will withdraw Resolution 5.

5.1 General

The Corporations Act requirements for this Resolution to be put to vote are set out in Section 1.2.

The effect of this Resolution being passed is the Company will be required to hold another meeting of Shareholders within 90 days of the date of this Meeting ( Spill Meeting ) and the Vacating Directors will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

  1. ( Appointing a Proxy ): A member entitled to attend and cast a vote at an Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the meeting. If the member is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the meeting, the member may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the meeting. However, where both proxies attend the meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A member who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a member appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company.

  2. ( Direction to Vote ): A member may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. Where a box is not marked, the proxy may vote as they choose. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
