An announcement from Zeotech Limited ( (AU:ZEO) ) is now available.

Zeotech has signed a non-binding term sheet with Gladstone Ports Corporation for a proposed lease of 15,000 to 22,200 square metres of land at the Port of Bundaberg. The site, located in the Port Industry Precinct and adjacent to Newman Street at Burnett Heads, is earmarked for a dry bulk kaolin direct shipping ore receival, storage and loading facility.

The land sits beside the port’s Multi-Use Conveyor infrastructure operated by Sugar Terminals Limited, allowing bulk minerals to be transferred directly into vessels and supporting Zeotech’s plan for efficient export logistics. In the near term, the company intends to rely on existing receival, storage and loading facilities within the Bundaberg port precinct to commence kaolin DSO operations.

Progression to a formal lease is subject to conditions including engineering and geotechnical studies, a baseline contamination report, securing access to the conveyor system and obtaining development and environmental approvals. Under the term sheet, Zeotech must provide a A$20,000 bank guarantee that will be forfeited if the lease agreement does not proceed, highlighting the early-stage but structured nature of its export infrastructure expansion.

Chief executive James Marsh said the arrangement provides a clear and scalable pathway to develop export infrastructure that leverages prior public and private investment at the port. The staged approach is designed to minimise upfront capital costs, accelerate time to market and lay the groundwork for a purpose-built bulk handling facility to underpin the company’s longer-term expansion plans.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:ZEO) stock is a Buy with a A$0.15 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Zeotech Limited stock, see the AU:ZEO Stock Forecast page.
