BANPU PLANNING PRODUCTION BOOM - BANGKOK POST
 Australian, Indonesian output to lead growth
Bangkok Post reported that, Banpu Plc, Asean's largest coal miner, wants to nearly double its coal output to 46 million tonnes next year, thanks to the acquisition of Sydney-based Centennial Coal and a higher contribution from Indonesian mines.
Production at coal mines in Indonesia will increase from 22 to 26 million tonnes, while two mines in China will contribute 5.5 million tonnes, said Somrudee Chaimongkol, Banpu's chief financial officer.
Centennial, which Banpu took over for A$2 billion (59.3 billion baht), will produce a minimum of 14.5 million tonnes in 2011, she said. This year's production was 1 million tonne short of its target due to heavy rainfall.
Centennial, in its last fiscal year ending in June, produced 14.5 million tonnes. Ms Somrudee said the company will change the fiscal year of the Australian company to a normal calendar year, same as Banpu, making it easier for Banpu to consolidate Centennial into its company's financial results.
"Production will increase significantly but overall financial results have not been estimated yet as they depend on global coal prices," she said.
Banpu chief executive Chanin Vongkusolkit said recently coal prices are rising and broke $110 per tonne already this year. Banpu's average selling price next year will certainly be higher than this year as it was quoted at $78 per tonne in the third quarter, compared with the 2009 average of $71.
To gain from the higher prices, Ms Somrudee said Banpu plans to increase exports of Centennial so its prices can move up in line with spot prices. Currently, two-thirds of Centennial's output serves the domestic market with fixed contract prices.
"Our plan is to balance exports and domestic sales of Centennial," said Ms Somrudee.
At the same time, Banpu aims to increase its coal-related assets from around 60-65% of total assets at present to 70% next year with the combination of Centennial assets. It divested its 14% share last month in Ratchaburi Electricity Generating Holding, Thailand's largest private power producer, under a long-term strategy to focus more on its core coal business.
Ms Somrudee said Banpu will spend the 6.68 billion baht earned from the share sale to expand its coal assets overseas.
The ultimate goal is to boost coal-related assets to 85% of the total, she added.
Banpu's shareholders earlier approved the company issuing bonds worth no more than 20 billion baht. The bonds will be gradually issued starting next year to refinance the company's existing debts by extending payment periods to more than 10 years, she added.
BANPU shares closed on Friday on the Stock Exchange of Thailand at 782 baht, up four baht, in trade worth 998 million baht.
