References to “Notes” refer to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included herein (refer to Item 8), and references to “MD&A” refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included herein (refer to Item 7). GENERAL We are a leading international mining company with headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. Our company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on November 10, 1987. We operate large, long-lived geographically diverse assets with significant proven and probable reserves of copper, gold and molybdenum, and we are the world’s largest publicly traded copper producer. Our portfolio of assets includes the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia, one of the world’s largest copper and gold deposits; and significant mining operations in the Americas, including the large-scale Morenci minerals district in North America and the Cerro Verde operation in South America. We believe that we have a high-quality portfolio of long-lived copper assets positioned to generate long-term value. We have commenced a project to develop the Lone Star oxide ores near the Safford operation in eastern Arizona, and PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI) has several projects in the Grasberg minerals district related to the development of its large-scale, long-lived, high-grade underground ore bodies. We are also pursuing other opportunities to enhance our mines’ net present values, and we continue to advance studies for future development of our copper resources, the timing of which will be dependent on market conditions. On December 21, 2018, we completed the transaction with the Indonesian government regarding PT-FI’s long-term mining rights and share ownership. We expect our share of future cash flows of the expanded PT-FI asset base, combined with the cash proceeds received in the transaction, to be comparable to our share of anticipated future cash flows under PT-FI’s former Contract of Work (COW) and joint venture arrangements with Rio Tinto plc (Rio Tinto Joint Venture). As a result of the transaction, PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium’s (Persero) (PT Inalum), an Indonesian state-owned enterprise, and PT Indonesia Papua Metal Dan Mineral’s (PTI - formerly known as PT Indocopper Investama) collective share ownership of PT-FI totals 51.24 percent and our share ownership is 48.76 percent. The arrangements provide for us and the other pre-transaction PT-FI shareholders to retain the economics of the revenue and cost sharing arrangements under the former Rio Tinto Joint Venture. As a result, our economic interest in PT-FI, including our share of PT-FI's net income, is expected to approximate 81 percent from 2019 through 2022. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of the PT-FI divestment transaction. We, PT-FI, PTI and PT Inalum also entered into a shareholders agreement at closing, which includes provisions related to the governance and management of PT-FI, and establishes our control over the management of PT-FI's operations. Concurrent with closing the transaction, the Indonesian government granted PT-FI a new special mining license (IUPK) to replace its former COW, enabling PT-FI to conduct operations in the Grasberg minerals district through 2041. Under the terms of the IUPK, PT-FI has been granted an extension of mining rights through 2031, with rights to extend mining rights through 2041, subject to PT-FI completing the construction of a new smelter in Indonesia within five years of closing the transaction and fulfilling its defined fiscal obligations to the Indonesian government. Refer to Note 13 and Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for further discussion of PT-FI’s IUPK. During the three years ended December 31, 2018, we have taken actions to restore our balance sheet strength through a combination of asset sale and capital market transactions, which primarily occurred during 2016. Refer to Notes 2 and 10 for further discussion of these transactions. These actions, combined with cash flow from operations, resulted in net reductions of debt totaling $9.3 billion during the three years ended December 31, 2018.

In 2014, Chile private mining operations. The mining sector’s contribution to continued to be the world’s leading producer of mined copper, Government revenue between 2003 and 2013 averaged about accounting for 31% of the total; iodine, 66%; and rhenium, 20% annually but had been decreasing since 2008. The decrease 56%.

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.

  • The Chino Mine/Santa Rita Open Pit Oct97 News Nuggets by Dave Moats
    The Chino Mine/Santa Rita Open Pit Oct97 News Nuggets By Dave Moats The Santa Rita del Cobre Mine was old when the gold rush began. Lt. Col. Jose Manuel Carrasco, it is said, ignored his orders to destroy the Apache and, instead, did a favor for one of the Indians who showed Carrasco a piece of native copper and told him where to find more. Around 1800, Carrasco and a party of 24 arrived in Santa Rita and opened the second oldest copper mine in the territory that later became the United Sates (only Lake Superior’s deposits were known earlier). Indians harvested the copper that "grew from the ground in fern-like pieces" and Mangas Coloradas or "Red Sleeves", chief of the Apache nation following the death of Apache chief Juan Jose, sent arrows tipped with copper flying into Gold Rush camps as his "calling cards" after friendly Indians were massacred in 1837 by a howitzer Americans had concealed in the brush. Eventually, the Indians cut off all supplies, starving remnants of the camp fled southward and Santa Rita remained a ghost town until 1860. Trappers seeking beaver along the Gila River learned about the mine. Kit Carson wrote of storing a load of furs in an old mine opening in Santa Rita. Sylvester Pattie decided to remain after making a deal with Ortiz, came close to buying the property, and left in disgust when a trusted employee absconded with $30,000 of his working capital. In 1872, Cochise, successor to Mangas Coloradas, agreed to move his tribesmen to selected reservations.
