Freeport-Mcmoran Copper & Gold Inc. Announces Molybdenum
Financial Contacts: Media Contact: One North Central Avenue Phoenix, AZ 85004 Kathleen L. Quirk David P. Joint William L. Collier (602) 366-8016 (504) 582-4203 (504) 582-1750 Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. Announces Molybdenum Production Curtailment and Plans to Defer Restart of Climax Molybdenum Mine PHOENIX, AZ, November 10, 2008 – Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (NYSE: FCX) announced today in response to the recent sharp decline in molybdenum prices plans to reduce production from its Henderson primary molybdenum mine and to defer the restart of the Climax molybdenum mine. Molybdenum markets have been strong in recent years, averaging $30 per pound in 2007 and $33 per pound in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Slowing demand for molybdenum in the metallurgical and chemicals sectors during October 2008 combined with weak global economic conditions and turmoil in credit and financial markets has resulted in a sudden and sharp decline in molybdenum prices in recent weeks. The Metals Week Molybdenum Dealer Oxide price declined from approximately $30 per pound in mid-October 2008 to $12 per pound on November 10, 2008. In response to these conditions, FCX has revised its mine plans at its Henderson primary molybdenum mine near Empire, Colorado to operate at a reduced rate. This will result in a reduction in expected annual molybdenum production of approximately 10 million pounds, reflecting a 25 percent reduction in Henderson’s approximate annual production. FCX is also assessing the potential to curtail molybdenum production at its by-product mines. FCX also announced the suspension of construction activities associated with the restart of the Climax molybdenum mine near Leadville, Colorado. -

Journal of Social and Administrative Sciences www.kspjournals.org Volume 6 December 2019 Issue 4 Evaluation of Papua provincial assets: Case study on non utilized and non optimized assets of integrated economic development zone (KAPET) of biak By Don Augusthinus L. FLASSY a†, Keterina KAFIAR b, Josefint WANDOSA b, Nehemia SEKAITELES b, Yohanis MANDIK b, & Yane ANSANAY ba† Abstract. This paper evaluates Papua provincial assets which are not utilized or not optimally utilized in Integrated Economic Development Zone (KAPET) of Biak. Through a case study analysis, direct observation, direct interview and literature studies conducted in this research, we found that the KAPET of Biak assets which also are the Papua provincial government’s assets have not been consistently well maintained and protected. Several assets were unutilized and were abandoned. Considering the great potentials of KAPET- Biak area which has cultural richness, rich resources area, strategic position in the middle of world economic growth triangle and on the hub of the global route for trading in pacific region. It would be better to develop the KAPET-Biak and its assets for further zonal developmental concept in this more global world. The provincial government and all stake holders can also develop and utilize several assets to be the part of research and educational center (LIPTEK Lab and office). Keywords. Provincial assets, KAPET of Biak, direct observation, zonal developmental concept, research and educational center. JEL. D91, J24, J28, O14, Z22. 1. Introduction he main ideas which backed up this research are as follows: 1) The assets of government both in physical and/or non-moving assets T have historical and philosophical values. -

Since completion of the Phelps Dodge acquisition in March 2007, FCX’s business strategy has been focused on defining the potential of its resources and developing expansion and growth plans to deliver additional volumes to a growing marketplace. Following the more than $10 billion in debt reduction during 2007, FCX’s financial policy was designed to use its cash flows to invest in growth projects with high rates of return and return excess cash flows to shareholders in the form of dividends and share purchases. In response to the dramatic recent shift in global economic conditions, FCX has revised its near-term business strategy.

'Overview of Peru's Mining Industry
‘Overview of Peru’s Mining Industry Summary Peru is one of the world’s biggest producers of base and precious metals. Currently, it is the third largest producer of copper and zinc in the world. Peru is also a major producer of gold, silver, among other minerals. The success of Peru’s mining sector stems not only from an abundance of rich natural resources, but also from an attractive legal and tax regime designed to support the industry. Peru enjoys political and macroeconomic stability. It has a steadily growing economy, which is largely driven by mineral production. The high rates of production have attracted a large amount of inbound investment into Peru’s mining sector. An estimated US$59.5 billion is expected to flow into the country over the next few years. New mines and expansion projects are expected. Much of the country is however yet to be subjected to vast exploration, leaving an immense potential for future development. A foreign investment law guarantees the security of foreign and domestic investments. Furthermore, Peru is consistently undertaking measures to improve its business climate to attract more investment. Peru’s economy continues to outperform both Mexico and Chile by GDP as its mining industry drives the economy with a diversity of metals. Peruvian miners respect the quality of deliverable, and polite professionalism in business. Minera Cerro operates an open-pit copper and molybdenum mining complex located some 20 miles southwest of Arequipa, Peru. US-based Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. has a 53.6% stake in Cerro Verde through its subsidiary Cyprus Climax Metals Co Economic Overview The country has had continuous economic and political stability since the early 1990s. -

Reproduction is permitted for educational or noncommercial purposes, provided credit is given to EARTHWORKS and Oxfam America. Around the world, large-scale metals mining takes an enormous toll on the health of the environment and communities. Gold mining, in particular, is one of the dirtiest industries in the world. Massive open-pit mines, some measuring as much as two miles (3.2 kilometers) across, generate staggering quantities of waste—an average of 76 tons for every ounce of gold.1 In the US, metals mining is the leading contributor of toxic emissions to the environment.2 And in countries such as Ghana, Romania, and the Philippines, mining has also been associated with human rights violations, the displacement of people from their homes, and the disruption of traditional livelihoods. -
