Freeport-McMoRan owns stakes in 10 copper mines, led by its 49% ownership of the Grasberg copper and gold operations in Indonesia, 55% of the Cerro Verde mine in Peru, and 72% of Morenci in Arizona.

It also sold about 900,000 ounces of gold, mostly from Grasberg, and 70 million pounds of molybdenum.
