Dear Sir/Madam
APPENDIX 4C - QUARTERLY CASH FLOW REPORT
MEC Resources Ltd (ASX: MMR, ACN 113 900 020) (“MEC” or “the Company” ) is pleased to provide its Appendix 4C (Quarterly Cashflow Report) for the quarter ending 30 September 2017.
The Company is also pleased to report that with the financial assistance of MEC, Advent Energy Ltd (“ Advent ”) is progressing its plans for a 2D seismic survey in PEP11, as a work commitment for the petroleum title. During the last quarter MEC has provided funds of approximately $185,000 to its investee Advent to further the development of Advent’s assets.
Work performed has included engaging acoustic modelling specialists, environmental consultants and geophysical expertise to complete the revisions to the Environmental Plan (“EP”) following the request for modification and resubmission received from the regulator.
Pending approval from the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA), Advent will undertake this survey at the earliest opportunity. An application for suspension and extension of the permit term is pending approval from the National Offshore Petroleum Title Administrator (NOPTA) to maintain the title in good standing, with a response anticipated soon. Subsequent commitments in PEP11 include 3D seismic acquisition and an exploration well. Potential discovery of commercial quantities of natural gas in PEP11 provides an exciting future for the Company considering the gas market challenges facing the east coast of Australia. To assist in achieving these objectives for the PEP11 title, Advent has entered into an agreement with a specialist international firm to provide expert marketing, technical and project documentation services to facilitate participation in PEP11 by major global oil and gas operators and investors.
The Company is currently conducting a Share Placement Plan to assist in the further funding of this project. A good response has been received to date with the plan scheduled to close on Monday 6 November 2017. We thank all shareholders for their continued support.
Management are continuing to minimise all costs of the Company. As previously announced, director fees of MEC and Advent directors remain constant at a nominal fee of $1 per director. This arrangement will remain in place until further notice.
A cost reduction plan was developed by the Board and has been successfully implemented within the organisation to ensure costs are continually scrutinised and where possible reduced.
We welcome your questions and comments regarding the Company. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the Company on 08 9 245 6187 or [email protected].
Yours faithfully
