MEC’s Advent Energy onshore Bonaparte Basin exploration November 19, 2009

MEC Resources (ASX: MMR) advises that investee company Advent Energy Ltd (“Advent”) is undertaking an airborne geophysical survey over EP386 and RL1 in the onshore Bonaparte Basin, Western Australia and Northern Territory respectively. The survey will be carried out by Pinemont Technologies Pty Ltd and it is anticipated to commence the week beginning Monday 23rd November.

The object of the survey is to detect transients of secondary magnetic fields associated with micro-seepage plumes and REDOX cells over hydrocarbon reservoirs. In addition to the Weaber Gas Field in RL1, there are a number of leads and prospects in EP386 and RL1 as well as unknown prospectivity in much of the permits. The aim of the survey is to upgrade these various prospects in EP386 and RL1 for further evaluation for drilling.

Advent holds a 100% interest in each of EP386 and RL1.
