Dear Sir/Madam

ADVENT ENGAGES MAJOR EUROPEAN FINANCIAL SERVICES FIRM

MEC Resources Limited (ASX: MMR) is pleased to announce that Advent Energy Ltd (Advent) has mandated Pareto Securities AS of Norway to act as the lead broker to source Advent’s capital needs.

Advent is attracting funding primarily for the exploration drilling proposed in the offshore Sydney Basin (PEP11), where the permit has been estimated to hold up to 16.3 Tcf prospective recoverable resources.

The Pareto Group is an independent investment bank based in Oslo, Norway, with international offices in Singapore and New York. Pareto is excellently placed to complete Advent’s financing requirements as they are highly ranked within the global energy financial sector and have over the last 3 years raised USD 25 billion for their clients. Pareto’s clients base include international oil and gas majors, independent E&P companies and oil service organisations. The Oslo Stock Exchange is a global hub for the energy sector and Norway is currently the World’s 5[th] largest oil exporter and 2[nd] largest gas exporter.

Yours Sincerely
