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 2018.

Operating expenses were higher than usual this quarter as MEC’s subsidiary, Advent Energy finalised the costs associated with the 2D seismic activities in Petroleum Exploration Permit 11 (“PEP 11”). This resulted in a further amount of approximately $230,000 being paid to service providers for these activities.

The Company is pleased to report that the data obtained during the recent 2D seismic survey, undertaken in PEP11 earlier in 2018, has been processed. It is presently being integrated with existing data for interpretation.

As previously advised RL Energy are continuing their preparation of the environment plan for the planned 3D seismic survey in PEP11. In addition to this RL Energy have also commenced the necessary stakeholder consultation process.

Further a site visit was undertaken by Bonaparte Petroleum to the EP386 and RL1 areas recently. This activity was conducted to allow Bonaparte Petroleum to continue their due diligence, commence stakeholder consultation and further work program preparation.

Additional updates the PEP11 and EP386/RL1 farmout transactions will be provided in due course.

Management are continuing to minimise all costs of the Company with the administration costs continually being scrutinised to ensure they are in line with or better than expectations. A cost reduction plan previously developed by the Board continues to remain in place within the organisation to ensure costs are reduced where possible. The Company expects to receive an R&D Tax Incentive rebate in the quarter ending 31 December 2018.

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
