“As expected, third-quarter 2026 sales were below third-quarter 2025 sales of 1.0 billion pounds, primarily reflecting lower operating rates at PTFI during the ramp-up of the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine and timing of shipments.”

“Consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits and excluding idle facility, direct recovery and restoration costs associated with the ramp-up of the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine) for FCX's copper mines averaged $2.07 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2026, which was 4% above the July 2026 estimate of $2.00 per pound, primarily reflecting lower by-product credits as a result of the deferral of gold sales from third-quarter 2026 to fourth-quarter 2026.”

Freeport-McMoRan owns stakes in 10 copper mines, led by its 49% ownership of the Grasberg copper and gold operations in Indonesia, 56% of the Cerro Verde mine in Peru, and 72% of Morenci in Arizona. It sold around 1.1 million metric tons of copper (its share) in 2025, making it one of the world's largest copper miners by volume. It also sold about 530,000 ounces of gold, mostly from Grasberg, and 74 million pounds of molybdenum. It had about 25 years of copper reserves at the end of December 2025. We expect it to sell about 1.3 million metric tons of copper and 610,000 ounces of gold midcycle in 2030.
“We believe our competitive position is based on the size, quality and grade of our ore bodies and our ability to manage costs compared with other producers.”
