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 ended 31 December 2018 (“Q2”).

The Company was granted a Research and Development incentive in the quarter ended 31 December 2018 after recent seismic activities within PEP 11. An amount of $384k was received under the scheme in Q2.

As previously announced, the data obtained during the 2D seismic survey undertaken in PEP11 earlier in 2018, has been processed. For a full report on the results from the seismic survey, please see the Company’s ASX announcement dated 31 December 2018.

Operating expenses were higher than on a year-by-year comparison with December 2017 as a result of the costs associated with processing the 2D seismic survey. Further costs are expected to be received in the March 2019 quarter. In addition, the Company is pleased to advise that it has entered into an initial agreement with previous directors, Mr Goh Hock and Mr KO Yap, in respect of the payment of their accrued but unpaid director fees. In the first instance, 50% of the outstanding amounts will be paid in three tranches over a three month period which commenced in December 2018. The balance will be settled at a later date.

We welcome your questions and comments regarding the Company.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Company on 08 9245 6187 or info@mecresources.com.au.

Yours faithfully

Ms Deborah Ambrosini Managing Director and Company Secretary

About MEC Resources Ltd (ASX:MMR)

MEC is registered as a Pooled Development Fund under the Pooled Development Fund Act (1992). It has been formed to invest into a variety of industries, including companies that are targeting potentially large energy and mineral resources.

MEC will provide carefully selected companies with development and exploration funding. MEC intends to identify investment opportunities with a number of specific characteristics including: near to medium term revenue opportunities; large targets; a stage of development that permits a strategic investor or IPO within several years; strong and experienced management team and a definitive competitive advantage.

MEC’s major investment lies in unlisted Australian oil and gas exploration company, Advent Energy Ltd who owns 100% of Asset Energy Pty Ltd and Onshore Energy Pty Ltd.

Asset Energy Pty Ltd – PEP 11

• Undiscovered gross prospective recoverable gas resources for structural targets within the PEP11 offshore permit have been estimated at 5.7 Tcf (at the Best Estimate level). A Low Estimate of 0.3 Tcf and High Estimate of 67.8 Tcf has been assessed by Pangean Resources in 2010. PEP 11 lies adjacent to the most populous region of Australia and the major industrial hub and port of Newcastle.

• Under the agreement, RL Energy will acquire 3D seismic data to meet the future 500km2 PEP11 permit work commitment (inclusive of acquisition, processing and interpretation), by carrying Asset Energy’s participating interest share of these costs up to a capped amount of $4 million.

Onshore Energy Pty Ltd – EP386/RL1

• A conventional 2C Contingent Resource of 11.5 Bcf (1C is 0.3 Bcf and 3C is 45.8 Bcf) for the Weaber Gas Field (RL1) has been assessed by an independent third party as a component of Advent’s drive to commercialise its 100% owned onshore Bonaparte Basin assets. Included in these assets is EP386, with conventional recoverable resource estimates ranging from 53.3 Bcf (Low) to 1,326.3 Bcf (High) of Prospective Resources, with a Best Estimate of 355.9 Bcf of gas.

• Signed a binding and exclusive term sheet for the majority (90%) sale of Onshore Energy to Bonaparte Petroleum on 28 September 2018.
