Teck Resources (NYSE:TCK) Increasing Coal Production by 50 Percent in 5 Years

Teck Resources Coal Production

Teck Resources (NYSE:TCK) has stated it wants to increase its coal production by 50 percent within five years as demand for coking coal skyrockets.

This is probably a realistic goal if it's predicated upon China's hunger for coking coal, as they can't get enough of it to feed their needs, even after they increased coal imports by 500 percent last year.

In 2010 expectations are China will import over 30 million tons of coal this year, as their domestic supply can't keep up with their demand from steel mills.

Steel production is projected to continue to increase in China for some time, and that will guarantee demand for coking coal will increase with it.

Teck Resources will increase revenue and profits with it if they can meet their coal production goals.
