Dear Sir/Madam

MEC RESOURCES LTD – NON RENOUNCEABLE ENTITLEMENTS ISSUE

MEC Resources Limited (“MEC”) is pleased to advise that the Non Renounceable Rights Issue announced on 14 March 2017 closed on 28 April 2017.

MEC wishes to advise that eligible Shareholders subscribed for 20,506,448 Entitlement Shares and 2,282,146 Shortfall Shares at an issue price of 2.8 cents per share. The total funds received from the issue were $638,080.63.

Further Shortfall Shares are available for allotment and the Directors are continuing their discussions with interested parties with a view to allocating these in an efficient manner.

Subject as set out in paragraph (d) of MEC’s announcement dated 20 April 2017, these Shares may be placed at the discretion of the Directors within the three month period after the close of the Rights Issue.

Funds raised from this issue will be used to support the Company’s investments in oil and gas. In particular, Advent Energy (“ Advent ”) is preparing for a 2D Seismic campaign in the third quarter of this year and is anticipating a commencement of this program in September 2017. With the support of its consultants, Advent is developing the environmental plan and has re-engaged in the community consultation process as a critical component of the 200 line km 2D seismic survey planned for the PEP11 project in the offshore Sydney Basin. In addition, preliminary planning for Advent’s proposed well intervention program in the onshore Bonaparte Basin (EP386 and RL1) has been submitted to the Western Australian Department of Mines & Petroleum for their consideration.

Allotment and issue of shares is expected to take place on Thursday 4 May 2017.

The Directors wish to thank all eligible shareholders for the continued support.

Shareholders should note that despite the recent unfounded complaint to the Takeovers Panel, and current proposed meeting under section 249F of the Corporations Act, both instigated by Mr David Breeze (former Managing Director) and his affiliated entities Trandcorp Pty Ltd and Grandbridge Ltd, none of these parties participated in this rights issue.

Yours faithfully
