| Description: | " Freeport Indonesia mines, processes and explores for ore containing copper, gold and silver. It operates in the remote highlands in the province of Papua, Indonesia, which is on the western half of the island of New Guinea. PT Freeport Indonesia markets its concentrates containing copper, gold and silver worldwide.
Our Grasberg mining complex produces both copper and gold. We began open-pit mining of the Grasberg ore body in 1990. Open-pit operations are expected to continue until mid-2015, at which time the Grasberg underground mining operations are scheduled to begin. Grasberg is at the heart of a highly prospective minerals district, where ongoing exploration is providing opportunities to continue to add to our long-lived reserves. " |
