Teck Resources profit rises in the second quarter as higher copper output and prices drive revenue growth.

The Canadian diversified mining company early on Thursday posted a higher net income of 854 million Canadian dollars ($606.2 million), or C$1.74 a share, up from C$206 million, or C$0.41 a share, in the comparable quarter a year ago.

Adjusted earnings were C$1.93 a share. According to FactSet, analysts were expecting C$1.35 a share.

Revenue rose to C$3.61 billion from C$2.02 billion, exceeding forecasts of C$3.39 billion.

Copper production volumes rose by 25% to 135,900 metric tons, with broad-based production increases across its copper operations. Demand for copper has been rising alongside prices in recent years given its importance as an industrial metal that is a key component in everything from artificial intelligence data centers to electric vehicles.

Chief Executive Jonathan Price credits strong copper sales volumes as well as a favorable commodity price environment for the quarter's performance.

Last September, Teck agreed to a merger with U.K.-based diversified mining major Anglo American, one of the biggest deals in the mining industry, that will create one of the world's largest copper producers with a combined market value of more than $53 billion.
