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 June 2017.

The Company is also pleased to report that its investee company Advent Energy has made significant progress with its plans to conduct a 2D high resolution seismic campaign over its PEP 11 permit in offshore New South Wales. Most recently Advent Energy through its subsidiary Asset Energy lodged its environment plan with the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environment Management Authority (“ NOPSEMA ”) for this work. The EP is the critical documentation necessary to be submitted to NOPSEMA to allow the seismic survey to proceed in PEP11

Significant work has been undertaken on this project with a view, subject to approval timeframes from NOPSEMA, to commencing this work late third quarter 2017.

Management are continuing to minimise all costs where possible. All expenditure is scrutinised and managed carefully before being incurred by the Company. As announced previously to the market MEC has withdrawn its Statutory Demand issued to BPH Energy Ltd on 3 July 2017 to enable discussions in good faith with BPH Energy Ltd and Grandbridge Ltd to occur. The Statutory Demand was issued to BPH Energy Ltd in relation to alleged default on repayment by BPH Energy Ltd under the terms of a formal loan agreement entered into in 2014.

Furthermore, the claims between each of BPH Energy Ltd, Grandbridge Ltd and MEC have been temporarily suspended to determine if the disputes can be resolved in an informal setting at the Conference with a view to saving the Company significant legal cost.

Directors of both MEC and Advent continue to provide their services to these companies for a nominal fee of $1 per annum. This arrangement will remain in place until further notice.

We welcome your questions or 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
