E X PL A N A T O R Y S T A T EM E N 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.
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Corporations Act, 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 2025 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.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 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 company or the directors of 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 a financial year.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
2.2 Voting consequences
A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder 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 most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, 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 of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
2.3 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 less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

3. RESOULTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF ANTHONY HUSTON
3.1 General
Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.
The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.
Mr Anthony Huston, who has served as a Director since 22 October 2020 and was last reelected on 29 November 2023, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the re-election of Mr Huston as a director.
3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships
Mr Huston has been involved for over 40 years in engineering and hydrocarbon industries for both on and offshore exploration/development. Early career experience commenced with Fitzroy Engineering Ltd, primarily working on development of onshore oil fields. During the 1990’s Mr Huston managed JFP NZ International, a Texas based exploration company that included a jack up rig operating in NZ waters. In 1994 Mr Huston oversaw the environmental consent process required to drill a near inshore well that was drilled from “land” into the offshore basin during 1995. In 1996 Mr Huston formed his own E&P Company to focus re-entry of onshore wells, primarily targeting shallow pay that had been passed or ignored from previous operations. This was successful and the two plays opened up 20 years ago are still in operation. Recent focus (12 years) has been to utilise new technology for enhanced resource recovery and has been demonstrated in various fields, including US, Mexico, Oman, Italy, and Turkmenistan.
During the last 3 years Mr Huston has been a director of listed company BPH Energy Limited from June 2017 to present, and is a non-executive Director of Advent Energy Ltd and Clean Carbon Technologies Corp.
3.3 Independence
Mr Huston has no material interests, position or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interest of the Company as a whole rather than in the interests of an individual security holder or other party. Mr Huston indirectly holds 30,385,448 shares in the Company, amounting to 1.62% interest in the Company.
If re-elected the Board considers Mr Huston will be an independent Director.
3.4 Other material information
The Company conducts appropriate checks on the background and experience of candidates before their appointment to the Board. The Company undertook such checks prior to the appointment of Mr Huston.
3.5 Board recommendation
Having received an acknowledgement from Mr Huston that they will have sufficient time to fulfil their responsibilities as a Director and having reviewed the performance of Mr Huston since their appointment to the Board and the skills, knowledge, experience and capabilities required by the Board, the Directors (other than Mr Huston) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
3.6 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, Mr Huston will be elected to the Board as an independent Director.
If this Resolution is not passed, Mr Huston will not continue in their role as an independent Director. The Company may seek nominations or otherwise identify suitably qualified candidates to join the Company. As an additional consequence, this may detract from the Board and Company’s ability to execute on its strategic vision.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE
4.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an Eligible Entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ). An Eligible Entity means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. As of the date of this Notice, the Company’s market capitalisation is $7,487,959.40 The Company is therefore an Eligible Entity.
4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
For note, a special resolution is a resolution requiring at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote at the meeting in favour of the resolution.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:
- (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
(iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).
(b) Minimum price
Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued for cash consideration at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 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 by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section 4.3(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
7
(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate
The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for the development of the Company’s business, working capital, due diligence and consideration of new investments and for new investments.
(d)
Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate 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 7.1A Mandate, 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 Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 15 October 2025.
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 7.1A Mandate.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata 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:
-
There are currently 1,871,989,850 Shares on issue.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 15 October 2025.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate. The Issue Price at a 50% increase and 50% decrease are each rounded to three decimal places prior to the calculation of the funds raised.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
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.
8
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
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.
-
(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients 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 recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, 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, share purchase plan, placement 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 Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 27 November 2024 ( Previous Approval ).
During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 27 November 2024, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.
4.4 Voting Exclusion Statement
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice.
5. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 4 - 6 – PLACEMENT OF NEW OPTIONS
5.1 Options Placement
Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company intends to undertake a placement to issue up to 373,535,605 Options (exercisable at $0.03 each on or before the date that is 12 months from the date of issue) ( New Options ) at an issue price of $0.001 per New Option to raise up to $373,535 ( Option Placement ). The Company will issue a prospectus in relation to the Option Placement shortly after the Meeting ( Prospectus ).
9
The Option Placement will be offered to all Australian based holders of the Company’s MMRO class of Options, on the basis of one New Option for every one MMRO Option held at 21 November 2025 being the expiry date of the MMRO Options ( Eligible Participants ). Any entitlements not taken up by Eligible Participants will form part of a shortfall, which may be placed with Eligible Participants who apply for New Options in excess of their entitlement, existing Shareholders or other parties identified by the Directors.
The primary purpose of the Option Placement is to enable the holders of MMRO Options to continue to participate in the ongoing development of the Company. Accordingly, Shareholders should note that the Option Placement is not being undertaken as a capital raising exercise, nor is it being offered as an entitlement offer. The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the Option Placement towards meeting the expenses of preparing and lodging the Prospectus with the ASIC and ASX, with any surplus funds to be used for general working capital.
For the avoidance of doubt, Mr Breeze (or his nominee) and Mr Richards are currently holders of MMRO Options. The Company confirms that Mr Breeze and Mr Richards intend to participate in the Option Placement to the extent of their entitlement, and subject to Shareholder approval under Resolutions 5 and 6, under a separate offer included in the Prospectus.
The Company will apply for quotation of the Options issued under the Director Participation in the Option Placement at the same time as it applies for quotation of the Options issued to unrelated participants in the Option Placement.
5.2 Shorfall Offer
Any entitlement not taken up under the Options Placement will form the shortfall offer ( Shortfall Offer ). The Shortfall Offer will be a separate offer made pursuant to the Prospectus, and will remain open for up to 3 months following the closing date. The issue price for each of the Options to be issued under the Shortfall Offer is $0.001, being the same price at which the Options are offered under the Options Placement. The Directors reserve the right to issue the Options under the Shortfall Offer at their absolute discretion.
5.3 Indicative timetable
The indicative timetable for the Option Placement is set out below:
| ACTION | *DATE ** |
|---|---|
| Date for determining eligibility of participants in the offer | 21 November 2025 |
| Lodgement of the Prospectus with the ASIC and ASX* | 2 December 2025 |
| Opening Date of the offer and Director Participation offer | 4 December 2025 |
| Closing Date of the Director Participation | 12 December 2025 |
| Issue of Options to Directors under the Director Participation | 15 December 2025 |
| Closing Date of the offer* | 20 January 2026 |
| Issue of New Options | 27 January 2026 |
| Quotation of all New Options (including the Options Director Participation)* |
28 January 2026 |
*The above dates are indicative only and are subject to change at the Board’s discretion in accordance with the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.
6. RESOLUTION 4 – PLACEMENT OF NEW OPTIONS
6.1 General
As set out in Section 5.1, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 373,535,605 New Options to unrelated Eligible Participants ( Participants ) to raise up to $373,535.
10
6.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
6.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of New Options under the Option Placement. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not proceed with the issue of New Options under the Option Placement.
6.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Option Placement:
-
(a) the New Options will be offered to Participants. As noted in Section 10.1, any entitlements not taken up by Participants will form part of a shortfall, which may be placed with Participants who apply for New Options in excess of their entitlement, existing Shareholders or other parties identified by the Directors. No related parties will participate in the issue pursuant to this Resolution. The Company confirms that no Material Persons will be issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
-
(b) the maximum number of New Options to be issued under this Resolution is 373,535,605.
-
(c) the New Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1.
-
(d) the New Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the New Options will occur on the same date;
-
(e) the issue price will be 0.001 per New Option;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of New Options under the Option Placement is not to raise capital but to enable the holders of MMRO Options to continue to participate in the ongoing development of the Company. The Company will use the funds raised to meet the expenses of preparing and lodging the prospectus and toward working capital;
-
(g) the New Options are not being issued under an agreement; and
-
(h) a voting exclusion applies to this Resolution.

(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the proposed recipients is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Mr Breeze who has a material personal interest in Resolution 5) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations act is not required in respect of Resolution 5 because the New Options will be issued to Mr Breeze on the same terms as the New Options issued to Participants under the Option Placement and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
The Directors (other than Mr Richards who has a material personal interest in Resolution 6) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations act is not required in respect of Resolution 6 because the New Options will be issued to Mr Richards on the same terms as the New Options issued to Participants under the Option Placement and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
7.3 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
12
The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
7.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and the Company will not raise the additional $24,373 under the Participation.
These Resolutions are conditional on Resolution 4 also being passed. Therefore, if Resolution 4 is not passed, the Option Placement will not be undertaken, and there will be no Participation.
7.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 5 to 6:
-
(a) the New Options will be issued to Mr Breeze and Mr Richards (or their nominee), who each falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1, as each Director is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Any nominee(s) of the proposed recipients who receive New Options may constitute ‘associates’ for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.4;
-
(b) the maximum number of New Options to be issued under these Resolutions is:
-
(i) 8,024,224 New Options to Mr Breeze (or his nominee); and
-
(ii) 6,349,229 New Options to Mr Richards (or his nominee);
-
(c) the New Options will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the New Options will be issued on the same date;

-
(e) the issue price will be $0.001 per New Option, being the same issue price as New Options offered to Participants;
-
(f) the recipients are seeking to participate in the Option Placement on the same terms as Participants. It is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Securities on the terms proposed;
-
(g) the purpose of the issue of New Options under the Option Placement is not to raise capital but to enable the holders of MMRO Options to continue to participate in the ongoing development of the Company. The recipients are seeking to participate in the Options Placement on the same terms as the unrelated Eligible Participants. The Company will use the funds raised to meet the expenses of preparing and lodging the prospectus and toward working capital;
-
(h) the New Options to be issued to Mr Breeze and Mr Richards are not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Directors;
