MEC Resources (ASX:MMR) is pleased to advise that investee company Advent Energy Ltd ("Advent") is progressing its reprocessing of 2004 2D seismic data acquired over PEP11 in the offshore Sydney Basin.

The first tranche of this work is expected to be completed by the end of November, including coverage of the primary drilling target area. 

The reprocessing, developed by Fugro Multi-Client Services over the last six months, has shown marked improvement from the original processed data.  As a result, Fugro were contracted to reprocess in tranches the entirety of the 2004 Baleen 2D Seismic Data. 

MEC Resources (ASX:MMR) is pleased to advise 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.
