NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


1.	GENERAL INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (U.S.). Therefore, this information should be read in conjunction with Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.’s (FCX) consolidated financial statements and notes contained in its 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported. All such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three -month and six -month periods ended June 30, 2011 , are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011 .

In December 2010, FCX’s Board of Directors declared a two-for-one split of its common stock in the form of a stock dividend on issued and outstanding shares, with the additional shares issued on February 1, 2011, to common shareholders of record at the close of business on January 15, 2011. All references to shares of common stock and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split.


2.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

FCX’s basic net income per share of common stock was calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stock by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Following is a reconciliation of net income and weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating diluted net income per share (in millions, except per share amounts):



	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Net income	$	1,726		$	832		$	3,587		$	2,047
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests	(358		)	(168		)	(720		)	(438		)
Preferred dividends	—			(15		)	—			(63		)
Net income attributable to FCX common stockholders	1,368			649			2,867			1,546
Plus income impact of assumed conversion of 6¾% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock ^a	—			15			—			63
Diluted net income attributable to FCX common stockholders	$	1,368		$	664		$	2,867		$	1,609

Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding	947			915			947			888

Restricted stock	1			2			1			2
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating diluted net income per share	956			947			956			947
Diluted net income per share attributable to FCX common stockholders	$	1.43		$	0.70		$	3.00		$	1.70


a.	All outstanding 6¾% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converted on May 1, 2010, into FCX common stock.


b.	Potential additional shares of common stock that were anti-dilutive totaled approximately three million.

Outstanding stock options with exercise prices greater than the average market price of FCX’s common stock during the period are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share of common stock. Excluded amounts were approximately 5 million stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $55.77 per option for second-quarter 2011 and approximately 2 million stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $55.90 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 . Stock options for approximately 19 million shares with a weighted-average exercise price of $37.78 were excluded for second-quarter 2010 , and stock options for approximately 11 million shares with a weighted-average exercise price of $ 38.77 were excluded for the six months ended June 30, 2010 .

5.	INCOME TAXES

Geographic sources of FCX's provision for income taxes follow (in millions):



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2011				June 30, 2011
	2011		2010		2011		2010
United States operations	$	120	$	51	$	258	$	132
International operations	786		382		1,632		979
Total	$	906	$	433	$	1,890	$	1,111

FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates for the jurisdictions in which it operates and totaled 35 percent for the first six months of 2011 and 2010 . Variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income result in fluctuations to FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate.


6.	DEBT AND EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

On April 1, 2011 , FCX redeemed its remaining $ 1.1 billion of outstanding 8.25% Senior Notes due 2015, for which holders received 104.125 percent of the principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest. As a result of this redemption, FCX recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt totaling $ 55 million ($ 49 million to net income attributable to FCX common stockholders or $ 0.05 per diluted share) in the second quarter and six -month periods of 2011 .

During the second quarter of 2011, FCX purchased in the open market $ 35 million of its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2031 for $ 49 million , which resulted in losses on early extinguishment of debt totaling $ 6 million ($ 5 million to net income attributable to FCX common stockholders or $ 0.01 per diluted share) in the second quarter and six-month periods of 2011.

FCX entered into a new senior unsecured revolving credit facility on March 30, 2011, which replaced the existing revolving credit facilities that were scheduled to mature on March 19, 2012. FCX recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt totaling $ 7 million ($ 6 million to net income attributable to FCX common shareholders or $ 0.01 per diluted share) in the first six months of 2011 associated with this transaction. The new revolving credit facility is available until March 30, 2016 , in an aggregate principal amount of $ 1.5 billion , with $ 500 million available to PT Freeport Indonesia. At June 30, 2011 , FCX had no borrowings and $43 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in availability of approximately $ 1.5 billion .

Interest on the revolving credit facility is generally based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.00 percent, subject to an increase or decrease in the interest rate margin based on the credit ratings assigned to FCX’s senior unsecured debt by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investors Service.

The obligations of FCX and PT Freeport Indonesia under the revolving credit facility are not guaranteed by any subsidiaries and are unsecured; however, FCX may at any time designate any subsidiary (other than PT Freeport Indonesia) as a subsidiary guarantor. The revolving credit facility and FCX’s senior notes contain certain restrictive covenants that vary among the instruments, but include limitations on the incurrence of debt, liens and certain asset sales.

During the second quarter of 2010 , FCX purchased in the open market $ 85 million of its 8.25% Senior Notes for $ 92 million and $ 193 million of its 8.375% Senior Notes due 2017 for $ 210 million . These open-market purchases resulted in losses on early extinguishment of debt totaling $ 28 million ($ 23 million to net income attributable to FCX common shareholders or $ 0.03 per diluted share). For the first six months of 2010, FCX purchased in the open market $ 218 million of its 8.25% Senior Notes for $ 237 million and $ 329 million of its 8.375% Senior Notes for $ 358 million , which resulted in losses on early extinguishment of debt totaling $ 55 million ($ 46 million to net income attributable to FCX common stockholders or $ 0.05 per diluted share).

On April 1, 2010 , FCX redeemed all of its $ 1 billion of outstanding Senior Floating Rates Notes due 2015, for which holders received 101 percent of the principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest. As a result of this redemption, FCX recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt totaling $ 22 million ($ 19 million to net income attributable to FCX common stockholders or $ 0.02 per diluted share) in the second quarter and six-month periods of 2010.

Consolidated interest expense (excluding capitalized interest) totaled $ 97 million in second-quarter 2011 , $ 132 million in second-quarter 2010 , $ 220 million for the first six months of 2011 and $ 283 million for the first six months of 2010 . Capitalized interest totaled $ 23 million in second-quarter 2011 , $ 10 million in second-quarter 2010 , $ 48 million for the first six months of 2011 and $ 16 million for the first six months of 2010 .

On April 20, 2011, FCX’s Board of Directors declared a supplemental common stock dividend of $ 0.50 per share, which was paid on June 1, 2011, to common shareholders of record at the close of business on May 15, 2011.

On June 30, 2011, FCX's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $ 0.25 per share, which was paid on August 1, 2011, to common shareholders of record at the close of business on July 15, 2011.

On May 1, 2010, the outstanding shares of FCX’s 6¾% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock were automatically converted into shares of FCX common stock (refer to Note 11 in FCX’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion).

Total comprehensive income attributable to FCX common stockholders totaled $ 1.4 billion in second-quarter 2011 , $ 666 million in second-quarter 2010 , $ 2.9 billion for the first six months of 2011 and $ 1.6 billion for the first six months of 2010 .

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FCX does not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments unless there are risks associated with an existing asset or obligation or if it anticipates a future activity that is likely to occur and will result in exposure to market risks and FCX intends to offset or mitigate such risks. FCX does not enter into any derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes, but has entered into derivative financial instruments in limited instances to achieve specific objectives. These objectives principally relate to managing risks associated with commodity price, foreign currency and interest rate risks. The fair values of FCX’s derivative financial instruments are based on widely published market prices.

Commodity Contracts. From time to time, FCX has entered into forward, futures and swap contracts to hedge the market risk associated with fluctuations in the prices of commodities it purchases and sells. Derivative financial instruments used by FCX to manage its risks do not contain credit risk-related contingent provisions. As of June 30, 2011 , FCX had no price protection contracts relating to its mine production. A discussion of FCX’s derivative commodity contracts and programs follows.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments – Fair Value Hedges

Copper Futures and Swap Contracts. Some of FCX’s U.S. copper rod customers request a fixed market price instead of the New York Mercantile Exchange (COMEX) average copper price in the month of shipment. FCX hedges this price exposure in a manner that allows it to receive the COMEX average price in the month of shipment while the customers pay the fixed price they requested. FCX accomplishes this by entering into copper futures and swap contracts and then liquidating the copper futures contracts and settling the copper swap contracts during the month of shipment, which generally results in FCX receiving the COMEX average copper price in the month of shipment. Hedge gains or losses from these copper futures and swap contracts are recorded in revenues. FCX did not have any significant gains or losses during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 , resulting from hedge ineffectiveness. At June 30, 2011 , FCX held copper futures and swap contracts that qualified for hedge accounting for 60 million pounds at an average price of $ 4.15 per pound, with maturities through December 2012 .

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

Embedded Derivatives. As described in Note 1 to FCX’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K under “Revenue Recognition,” certain FCX copper concentrate, copper cathode and gold sales contracts provide for provisional pricing primarily based on London Metal Exchange (LME) or COMEX prices at the time of shipment as specified in the contract. Similarly, FCX purchases copper and molybdenum under contracts that provide for provisional pricing (molybdenum purchases are based on an average Metals Week Molybdenum Dealer Oxide price). FCX applies the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception in accordance with derivatives and hedge accounting guidance to the host sales agreements since the contracts do not allow for net settlement and always result in physical delivery. Sales and purchases with a provisional sales price contain an embedded derivative ( i.e. , the price settlement mechanism that is settled after the time of delivery) that is required to be bifurcated from the host contract. The host contract is the sale or purchase of the metals contained in the concentrates or cathodes at the then-current LME or COMEX price (copper), London Bullion Market Association price (gold) or the average Metals Week Molybdenum Dealer Oxide price (molybdenum) as defined in the contract. Mark-to-market price fluctuations recorded through the settlement date are reflected in revenues for sales contracts and in cost of sales as production and delivery costs for purchase contracts.

A summary of FCX’s embedded derivatives at June 30, 2011 , follows:



	Open	Average Price Per Unit				Maturities
	Positions	Contract		Market		Through
Embedded derivatives in provisional sales contracts:
Copper (millions of pounds)	646	$	4.16	$	4.27	December 2011
Gold (thousands of ounces)	163	1,522		1,508		September 2011
Embedded derivatives in provisional purchase contracts:
Copper (millions of pounds)	196	4.14		4.28		October 2011

Copper Forward Contracts. Atlantic Copper, FCX’s wholly owned smelting and refining unit in Spain, enters into forward copper contracts designed to hedge its copper price risk whenever its physical purchases and sales pricing periods do not match. These economic hedge transactions are intended to hedge against changes in copper prices, with the mark-to-market hedging gains or losses recorded in cost of sales. At June 30, 2011 , Atlantic Copper held net forward copper sales contracts for 55 million pounds at an average price of $ 4.10 per pound, with maturities through August 2011 .

b.	Amounts recorded in other current assets.


c.	Amounts recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.


d.	Amounts recorded either as a net accounts receivable or a net accounts payable.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. As a global company, FCX transacts business in many countries and in many currencies. Foreign currency transactions at FCX’s international subsidiaries increase its risks because exchange rates can change between the time agreements are made and the time foreign currency transactions are settled. FCX may hedge or protect its international subsidiaries’ foreign currency transactions from time to time by entering into forward exchange contracts to lock in or minimize the effects of fluctuations in exchange rates. FCX had no outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts at June 30, 2011 .

Interest Rate Swap Contracts. From time to time, FCX or its subsidiaries may enter into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate changes and to achieve a desired proportion of fixed-rate versus floating-rate debt based on current and projected market conditions. FCX may enter into fixed-to-floating interest rate swap contracts to protect against changes in the fair value of the underlying fixed-rate debt that result from market interest rate changes and to take advantage of lower interest rates. FCX had no outstanding interest rate swap contracts at June 30, 2011 .

Credit Risk. FCX is exposed to credit loss when counterparties with which FCX has entered into derivative transactions (commodity, foreign exchange and interest rate swaps) are unable to pay. To minimize the risk of such losses, FCX uses counterparties that meet certain credit requirements and periodically reviews the creditworthiness of these counterparties. FCX does not anticipate that any of the conterparties it deals with will default on their obligations. As of June 30, 2011 , FCX did not have any significant credit exposure associated with derivative transactions.

Other Financial Instruments. Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trust assets, available-for-sale securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividends payable, Rio Tinto's share of joint venture cash flows and long-term debt. Refer to Note 8 for the fair values of these financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities, Dividends Payable and Rio Tinto's Share of Joint Venture Cash Flows. The financial statement amount is a reasonable estimate of the fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments and generally negligible credit losses .

Trust Assets and Available-for-Sale Securities. The financial statement amount represents the fair value of trust assets and available-for-sale securities.

Long-Term Debt. The financial statement amount represents cost except for long-term debt acquired in the Phelps Dodge Corporation (Phelps Dodge) acquisition, which was recorded at fair value at the acquisition date.

8.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value accounting guidance includes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). FCX did not have any significant transfers in or out of Levels 1, 2, or 3 for the second quarter of 2011 .

A summary of FCX’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows (in millions):



	Fair Value at June 30, 2011

Table of Contents

Valuation Techniques

Money market funds and time deposits are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets.

Fixed income securities (government and agency securities, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and U.S. core fixed income funds) are valued using a bid evaluation or a mid evaluation. A bid evaluation is an estimated price at which a dealer would pay for a security. A mid evaluation is the average of the estimated price at which a dealer would sell a security and the estimated price at which a dealer would pay for a security. These evaluations are based on quoted prices, if available, or models that use observable inputs and, as such, are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Equity securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

FCX’s embedded derivatives on provisional copper concentrate, copper cathode and gold purchases and sales are valued using quoted market prices based on the forward LME or COMEX prices (copper) and the London Bullion Market Association price (gold) and, as such, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. FCX’s embedded derivatives on provisional molybdenum purchases are valued based on the latest average weekly Metals Week Molybdenum Dealer Oxide prices and, as such, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

FCX’s derivative financial instruments for copper futures and swap contracts and forward contracts are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets (refer to Note 7 for further discussion).

The techniques described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while FCX believes its valuation techniques are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different techniques or assumptions to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measured at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the techniques used at June 30, 2011 .

The carrying value for certain FCX financial instruments ( i.e., accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividends payable, and Rio Tinto’s share of joint venture cash flows) approximate fair value and, therefore, have been excluded from the table below. A summary of the carrying amount and fair value of FCX’s other financial instruments follows (in millions):



	At June 30, 2011						At December 31, 2010
	Carrying Amount			Fair Value			Carrying Amount			Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents ^a	$	4,378		$	4,378		$	3,738		$	3,738

a.	Recorded at fair value.


b.	Recorded at cost and included in other assets. At December 31, 2010, fair value was based on a bid evaluation, which was an estimated price at which a dealer would pay for a security. At June 30, 2011, these securities were not actively trading; as such, fair value was based on a convertible pricing model using McMoRan Exploration Co.'s publicly traded common stock as the principle variable.


c.	Current portion included in other current assets and long-term portion included in other assets.


d.	Included in other current assets.


e.	Recorded at cost except for long-term debt acquired in the Phelps Dodge acquisition, which was recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. Fair value of substantially all of FCX’s long-term debt is estimated based on quoted market prices.

9.	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) in connection with accounting guidance for fair value measurement and disclosure. This ASU clarifies the FASB's intent on current guidance, modifies and changes certain guidance and principles, and expands disclosures concerning Level 3 fair value measurements in the fair value hierarchy (including quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy). In addition, this ASU requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, but whose fair value is required to be disclosed. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and early application is not permitted.

In June 2011, FASB issued an ASU in connection with accounting guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. The objective of this ASU is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This ASU requires an entity to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income (includes net income) either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity, but does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and early adoption is permitted. FCX is in the process of determining which presentation it will choose (single statement or two separate statements) and when it will adopt this ASU.


10.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

FCX evaluated events after June 30, 2011 , and through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued, and determined any events or transactions occurring during this period that would require recognition or disclosure are appropriately addressed in these consolidated financial statements.


11.	BUSINESS SEGMENTS

FCX has organized its operations into five primary divisions – North America copper mines, South America mining, Indonesia mining, Africa mining and Molybdenum operations. Notwithstanding this structure, FCX internally reports information on a mine-by-mine basis. Therefore, FCX concluded that its operating segments include individual mines. Operating segments that meet certain thresholds are reportable segments.

Intersegment Sales. Intersegment sales between FCX’s operations are based on similar arms-length transactions with third parties at the time of the sale. Intersegment sales may not be reflective of the actual prices ultimately realized because of a variety of factors, including additional processing, timing of sales to unaffiliated customers and transportation premiums.

Allocations. FCX allocates certain operating costs, expenses and capital expenditures to the operating divisions and individual segments. However, not all costs and expenses applicable to a mine or operation are allocated. All U.S. federal and state income taxes are recorded and managed at the corporate level, whereas foreign income taxes are recorded and managed at the applicable country. In addition, most exploration and research activities are managed at the corporate level, and those costs along with some selling, general and administrative costs are not allocated to the operating divisions or segments. Accordingly, the following segment information reflects management determinations that may not be indicative of what the actual financial performance of each operating division or segment would be if it was an independent entity.

OVERVIEW

In Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX) and its consolidated subsidiaries. You should read this discussion in conjunction with our financial statements, the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the discussion of our Business and Properties in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 , filed with the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The results of operations reported and summarized below are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. References to “Notes” are Notes included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations all references to earnings or losses per share are on a diluted basis, unless otherwise noted, and have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the February 1, 2011, two-for-one stock split.

We are one of the world’s largest copper, gold and molybdenum mining companies in terms of reserves and production. Our portfolio of assets includes the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia, significant mining operations in North and South America, and the Tenke Fungurume (Tenke) minerals district in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The Grasberg minerals district contains the largest single recoverable copper reserve and the largest single gold reserve of any mine in the world based on the latest available reserve data provided by third-party industry consultants. We also operate Atlantic Copper, our wholly owned copper smelting and refining unit in Spain.

Our results for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 , compared with the 2010 periods, primarily reflected higher realized copper and gold prices and higher sales volumes. Refer to “Consolidated Results” for further discussion of our consolidated financial results for the quarter and six -month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 .

At June 30, 2011 , we had $4.4 billion in consolidated cash and cash equivalents and $3.5 billion in total debt. During second-quarter 2011, we repaid $1.2 billion in debt, including the April 2011 redemption of $1.1 billion of outstanding 8.25% Senior Notes (refer to Note 6 for further discussion). We have no significant debt maturities in the near term; however, we may consider additional opportunities to prepay debt in advance of scheduled maturities. Refer to “Capital Resources and Liquidity – Financing Activities” for further discussion.

In December 2010, our Board of Directors (the Board) authorized a two-for-one common stock split effected on February 1, 2011 (refer to Note 1 for further discussion). All references to our common stock, per share amounts and dividends on common stock herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split. Refer to “Capital Resources and Liquidity – Financing Activities” for further discussion of common stock dividends.

OUTLOOK

We view the long-term outlook for our business positively, supported by limitations on supplies of copper and by the requirements for copper in the world’s economy.

Our financial results can vary significantly as a result of fluctuations in the market prices of copper and, to a lesser extent, gold and molybdenum. World market prices for these commodities have fluctuated historically and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control. Because we cannot control the price of our products, the key measures that management focuses on in operating our business are sales volumes, unit net cash costs and operating cash flow. Discussion of the outlook for each of these measures follows.

Sales Volumes. Our projected sales volumes depend on the achievement of targeted mining rates, the successful operation of production facilities, the impact of weather conditions and other factors. Consolidated sales from mines for the year 2011 are expected to approximate 3.9 billion pounds of copper, 1.6 million ounces of gold and 77 million pounds of molybdenum, including 940 million pounds of copper, 415 thousand ounces of gold and 18 million pounds of molybdenum for third-quarter 2011 .

Unit Net Cash Costs. Assuming average prices of $1,500 per ounce of gold and $15 per pound of molybdenum for the second half of 2011 , and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, we estimate our consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our copper mining operations would average approximately $1.01 per pound of copper for the year 2011 . Quarterly unit net cash costs vary with fluctuations in sales volumes. The impact of price changes on consolidated unit net cash costs would approximate $0.01 per pound for each $50 per ounce change in the average price of gold for the second half of 2011 , and $0.01 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum for the second half of 2011 . Refer to “Consolidated Results – Production and Delivery Costs” for further discussion of consolidated production and delivery costs.

Operating Cash Flows. Our operating cash flows vary with prices realized from copper, gold and molybdenum sales, our sales volumes, production costs, income taxes and other working capital changes and other factors. Based on projected consolidated sales volumes and unit net cash costs for 2011 , and assuming average prices of $4.25 per pound of copper, $1,500 per ounce of gold and $15 per pound of molybdenum for the second half of 2011 , we estimate consolidated operating cash flows will exceed $8 billion for the year 2011 , net of an estimated $0.3 billion for working capital requirements. Projected operating cash flows for the year 2011 also reflect estimated taxes of $3.7 billion (refer to “Consolidated Results – Provision for Income Taxes” for further discussion of our projected annual consolidated effective annual tax rate for 2011 ). The impact of price changes for the second half of 2011 on operating cash flows would approximate $80 million for each $0.05 per pound change in the average price of copper during the second half of 2011 , $35 million for each $50 per ounce change in the average price of gold during the second half of 2011 and $40 million for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum during the second half of 2011 .

COPPER, GOLD AND MOLYBDENUM MARKETS

World prices for copper, gold and molybdenum can fluctuate significantly. During the period from January 2001 through July 2011, the London Metal Exchange (LME) spot copper price varied from a low of $0.60 per pound in 2001 to a record high of $4.60 per pound in February 2011, the London gold price fluctuated from a low of $256 per ounce in 2001 to a record high of over $1,600 per ounce in July 2011, and the Metals Week Molybdenum Dealer Oxide weekly average price ranged from a low of $2.19 per pound in 2001 to a high of $39.25 per pound in 2005. Copper, gold and molybdenum prices are affected by numerous factors beyond our control as described further in our “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 .

* Excludes Shanghai stocks, producer, consumer and merchant stocks.

This graph presents LME spot copper prices and reported stocks of copper at the LME and the New York Mercantile Exchange (COMEX) from January 2001 through July 2011. From 2006 through most of 2008, limited supplies, combined with growing demand from China and other emerging economies, resulted in high copper prices and low levels of inventories. In late 2008, slowing consumption, turmoil in the U.S. financial markets and concerns about the global economy led to a sharp decline in copper prices, which reached a four-year low of $1.26 per pound in December 2008. Copper prices have since improved significantly, attributable to a combination of an improved global economic outlook, strong demand from emerging markets, recovering demand in the western world and limitations of available supply. During second-quarter 2011 , LME spot copper prices ranged from $3.87 per pound to a high of $4.46 per pound and averaged $4.14 per pound. Combined LME and COMEX inventories have risen somewhat in 2011, compared to year-end 2010 levels, as a result of reduced Chinese imports.

We believe the underlying fundamentals of the copper business remain positive, supported by the significant role of copper in the global economy, limited supplies from existing mines and the absence of significant new development projects. Future copper prices are expected to be volatile and are likely to be influenced by demand from China, economic activity in the U.S. and other industrialized countries, the timing of the development of new supplies of copper and production levels of mines and copper smelters. The LME spot copper price closed at $4.41 per pound on July 29, 2011 .

This graph presents London gold prices from January 2001 through July 2011. Market sentiment for gold remains positive, which we believe is supported by weakness in the U.S. dollar, fiscal issues affecting the U.S. and Europe and prospects for future inflation. During second-quarter 2011 , gold prices ranged from approximately $1,418 per ounce to $1,553 per ounce and averaged $1,506 per ounce. Gold prices closed at a record high of approximately $1,629 per ounce on July 29, 2011 .

This graph presents the Metals Week Molybdenum Dealer Oxide weekly average prices from January 2001 through July 2011. In late 2008, molybdenum prices declined significantly as a result of the financial market turmoil and a decline in demand; however, molybdenum prices have increased from the 2008 lows, which we believe is supported by improved economic conditions and resulting demand increases. During second-quarter 2011 , the weekly average price of molybdenum ranged from $15.55 per pound to $17.15 per pound and averaged $16.70 per pound. The Metals Week Molybdenum Dealer Oxide weekly average price was $14.65 per pound on July 29, 2011 .

Revenues

Consolidated revenues totaled $5.8 billion in second-quarter 2011 and $11.5 billion for the first six months of 2011 , compared with $3.9 billion in second-quarter 2010 and $8.2 billion for the first six months of 2010 . Consolidated revenues include the sale of copper concentrates, copper cathodes, copper rod, gold, molybdenum and other metals by our North and South America mines, the sale of copper concentrates (which also contain significant quantities of gold and silver) by our Indonesia mining operations, the sale of copper cathodes and cobalt hydroxide by our Africa mining operations, the sale of molybdenum in various forms by our Molybdenum operations, and the sale of copper cathodes, copper anodes, and gold in anodes and slimes by Atlantic Copper.

Price Realizations

Our consolidated revenues can vary significantly as a result of fluctuations in the market prices of copper and, to a lesser extent, gold and molybdenum. Consolidated revenues in the 2011 periods reflected higher copper and gold price realizations, compared with the 2010 periods. Realized copper prices averaged $4.22 per pound in second-quarter 2011 (compared with $3.06 per pound in second-quarter 2010 ) and $4.24 per pound for the first six months of 2011 (compared with $3.13 per pound for the first six months of 2010 ). Realized gold prices averaged $1,509 per ounce in second-quarter 2011 (compared with $1,234 per ounce in second-quarter 2010 ) and $1,466 per ounce for the first six months of 2011 (compared with $1,171 per ounce for the first six months of 2010 ). Realized molybdenum prices averaged $18.16 per pound in second-quarter 2011 (compared with $18.18 per pound in second-quarter 2010 ) and $18.13 per pound for the first six months of 2011 (compared with $16.62 per pound for the first six months of 2010 ).

Sales Volumes

Consolidated sales volumes in second-quarter 2011 of 1.0 billion pounds of copper, 356 thousand ounces of gold and 21 million pounds of molybdenum, were higher than second-quarter 2010 sales volumes of 914 million pounds of copper, 298 thousand ounces of gold and 16 million pounds of molybdenum. For the first six months of 2011 , consolidated sales volumes of 1.9 billion pounds of copper, 836 thousand ounces of gold and 41 million pounds of molybdenum, were also higher than sales volumes for the first six months of 2010 of 1.9 billion pounds of copper, 776 thousand ounces of gold and 33 million pounds of molybdenum. Higher copper sales volumes in the 2011 periods primarily reflects increased production in North America and timing of shipments in South America. Higher gold sales volumes in the 2011 periods reflected timing of mine sequencing at Grasberg, and higher molybdenum sales volumes reflected improved demand. Refer to “Operations” for further discussion of sales volumes at our operating divisions.

Provisionally Priced Sales

During the first half of 2011 , 56 percent of our mined copper was sold in concentrate, 22 percent as rod (from our North America operations) and 22 percent as cathodes. Substantially all of our copper concentrate and cathode sales contracts provide final copper pricing in a specified future month (generally one to four months from the shipment date) based primarily on quoted LME monthly average spot copper prices. We receive market prices based on prices in the specified future period, which results in price fluctuations recorded through revenues until the date of settlement. We record revenues and invoice customers at the time of shipment based on then-current LME prices, which results in an embedded derivative on our provisionally priced concentrate and cathode sales that is adjusted to fair value through earnings each period, using the period-end forward prices, until the date of final pricing. To the extent final prices are higher or lower than what was recorded on a provisional basis, an increase or decrease to revenues is recorded each reporting period until the date of final pricing. Accordingly, in times of rising copper prices, our revenues benefit from adjustments to the final pricing of provisionally priced sales pursuant to contracts entered into in prior periods; in times of falling copper prices, the opposite occurs.

At March 31, 2011, we had provisionally priced copper sales totaling 464 million pounds of copper at our copper mining operations (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average of $4.27 per pound. Lower prices during second-quarter 2011 resulted in adjustments to these provisionally priced copper sales and decreased consolidated

Table of Contents

revenues by $47 million ( $23 million to net income attributable to common stockholders or $0.02 per share) in second-quarter 2011 , compared with a decrease of $169 million ( $72 million to net income attributable to common stockholders or $0.08 per share) in second-quarter 2010 . Additionally, adjustments to the December 31, 2010 , provisionally priced copper sales resulted in a decrease of $12 million ( $5 million to net income attributable to common stockholders or $0.01 per share) for the first six months of 2011 , compared with a decrease of $23 million ( $9 million to net income attributable to common stockholders or $0.01 per share) for the first six months of 2010 .

At June 30, 2011 , we had provisionally priced copper sales at our copper mining operations totaling 435 million pounds of copper (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average of $4.27 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. We estimate that each $0.05 change in the price realized from the June 30, 2011 , provisional price recorded would have a net impact on our 2011 consolidated revenues of approximately $28 million ($14 million to net income attributable to common stockholders). The LME spot copper price closed at $4.41 per pound on July 29, 2011 .

Purchased Copper

From time to time we purchase copper cathode to be processed by our Rod & Refining operations when production from our North America copper mines does not meet customer demand. The increase in purchased copper in the 2011 periods resulted from higher customer demand and also reflected higher copper prices.

Atlantic Copper Revenues

The increase in Atlantic Copper’s revenues in the 2011 periods primarily reflected higher copper prices. Refer to “Operations” for further discussion of Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining.

Production and Delivery Costs

Consolidated production and delivery costs totaled $2.6 billion in second-quarter 2011 and $4.9 billion for the first six months of 2011 , compared with $2.1 billion in second-quarter 2010 and $4.0 billion for the first six months of 2010 . Higher production and delivery costs for the 2011 periods primarily reflected increased mining and milling activities, higher input costs at our mining operations and higher costs of concentrate purchases at Atlantic Copper associated with higher copper prices.

Consolidated unit site production and delivery costs for our copper mining operations averaged $1.63 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2011 and $1.62 per pound of copper for the first six months of 2011 , compared with $1.41 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2010 and $1.38 per pound of copper for the first six months of 2010 . Higher site production and delivery costs in the 2011 periods primarily resulted from increased mining and milling activities and increased input costs, including materials, energy and currency exchange rate impacts. Refer to “Operations – Unit Net Cash Costs” for further discussion of unit net cash costs associated with our operating divisions, and to “Product Revenues and Production Costs” for reconciliations of per pound costs by operating division to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in our consolidated financial statements.

Our copper mining operations require significant energy, principally diesel, electricity, coal and natural gas. For the year 2011 , energy costs are expected to approximate 22 percent of our consolidated copper production costs, which reflects purchases of approximately 250 million gallons of diesel fuel; 6,650 gigawatt hours of electricity at our North America, South America and Africa copper mining operations (we generate all of our power at our Indonesia mining operation); 800 thousand metric tons of coal for our coal power plant in Indonesia; and 1 million MMBTU (million british thermal units) of natural gas at certain of our North America mines. Energy costs for 2010 approximated 20 percent of our consolidated copper production costs.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Consolidated depreciation, depletion and amortization expense totaled $267 million in second-quarter 2011 , $499 million for the first six months of 2011 , $249 million in second-quarter 2010 and $520 million for the first six months of 2010 . Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for the 2011 periods reflect higher expense under the units-of-production method as a result of higher copper sales volumes. Higher units-of-production expense for the six-month period was more than offset by lower straight-line depreciation expense.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $107 million in second-quarter 2011 and $221 million for the first six months of 2011 , compared with $101 million in second-quarter 2010 and $196 million for the first six months of 2010 , primarily reflecting an increase in contributions made to our charitable foundation and higher incentive compensation costs associated with improved operating results.

Exploration and Research Expenses

Consolidated exploration and research expenses totaled $66 million in second-quarter 2011 and $116 million for the first six months of 2011 , compared with $38 million in second-quarter 2010 and $69 million for the first six months of 2010 . We are conducting exploration activities near our existing mines with a focus on opportunities to expand reserves that will support additional future production capacity in the large mineral districts where we currently operate. Favorable exploration results indicate opportunities for what we believe could be significant future potential reserve additions in North and South America and in the Tenke minerals district. The drilling data in North America continues to indicate the potential for expanded sulfide production.

For the year 2011 , exploration and research expenditures are expected to total $310 million, including approximately $250 million for exploration. Exploration activities will continue to focus primarily on the potential for future reserve additions in our existing mineral districts.

Environmental obligations consist of net revisions to our long-term environmental obligations as further described in Note 13 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Shutdown costs include care and maintenance costs and any litigation, remediation or related expenditures associated with closed facilities or operations. The increase in the 2011 periods, compared with the 2010 periods, primarily reflects second-quarter 2011 adjustments to accruals for future shutdown costs.

Interest Expense, Net

Consolidated interest expense, excluding capitalized interest, totaled $97 million in second-quarter 2011 and $220 million for the first six months of 2011 , compared with $132 million in second-quarter 2010 and $283 million for the first six months of 2010 . Lower interest expense in the 2011 periods primarily reflected the impact of debt repayments during 2010 and the first half of 2011.

Capitalized interest is primarily related to our development projects and totaled $23 million in second-quarter 2011 and $48 million for the first six months of 2011 , compared with $10 million in second-quarter 2010 and $16 million for the first six months of 2010 . Refer to “Operations” for further discussion of current development projects.

Losses on Early Extinguishment of Debt

We recorded losses on early extinguishment of debt of $61 million ($54 million to net income attributable to common stockholders or $0.06 per share) in second-quarter 2011 and $68 million ($60 million to net income attributable to common stockholders or $0.06 per share) for the first six months of 2011 associated with the redemption of our 8.25% Senior Notes and open-market purchases of our 9.5% Senior Notes. Losses on early extinguishment of debt for the first six months of 2011 also includes amounts related to the revolving credit facilities that were replaced in March 2011 by a new senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

We recorded losses on early extinguishment of debt totaling $50 million ($42 million to net income attributable to common stockholders or $0.05 per share) in second-quarter 2010 and $77 million ($65 million to net income attributable to common stockholders or $0.07 per share) for the first six months of 2010 associated with redemption of our Senior Floating Rate Notes and open-market purchases of our 8.25% and 8.375% Senior Notes.

Refer to Note 6 for further discussion of these transactions.

a.	Represents income by geographic location before income taxes and equity in affiliated companies’ net earnings.


b.	In accordance with applicable accounting rules, we adjust our interim provision for income taxes equal to our estimated annualized tax rate.

Our consolidated effective income tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates for the jurisdictions in which we operate. Accordingly, variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income result in fluctuations to our consolidated effective income tax rate. Assuming average prices of $4.25 per pound for copper, $1,500 per ounce for gold and $15 per pound for molybdenum for the remainder of 2011 and current sales estimates, we estimate our annual consolidated effective tax rate will approximate 35 percent.

OPERATIONS

North America Copper Mines

We currently operate seven copper mines in North America – Morenci, Bagdad, Safford, Sierrita and Miami in Arizona, and Tyrone and Chino in New Mexico. All of these mining operations are wholly owned, except for Morenci, an unincorporated joint venture, in which we own an 85 percent undivided interest.

The North America copper mines include open-pit mining, sulfide ore concentrating, leaching and solution extraction/electrowinning (SX/EW) operations. Molybdenum concentrate is also produced by Morenci, Bagdad and Sierrita . A majority of the copper produced at our North America copper mines is cast into copper rod by our Rod & Refining operations. The remainder of our North America copper sales is primarily in the form of copper cathode or copper concentrate.

Operating and Development Activities.

Morenci Mine Ramp-up and Mill Restart. During second-quarter 2011, we completed our ramp up of Morenci's mining rates to 635,000 metric tons of ore per day and milling rates to approximately 50,000 metric tons of ore per day, resulting in increased copper production of approximately 125 million pounds of copper per year.

We are advancing a feasibility study to expand mining and milling capacity at Morenci to process additional sulfide ore identified through positive exploratory drilling over the last few years. This project, which would require significant investment, would increase milling rates to approximately 115,000 metric tons of ore per day and target incremental annual copper production of approximately 225 million pounds within three years, following completion of the feasibility study, which is expected by year-end 2011.

Miami Restart. The ramp up of mining activities at the Miami mine continues. We expect to ramp up production at Miami to approximately 100 million pounds of copper per year by 2012.

Chino Restart. During second-quarter 2011, we successfully restarted mining and milling activities at the Chino mine. Planned mining and milling rates are expected to be achieved by the end of 2013. Incremental annual copper production is expected to be 100 million pounds in 2012 and 2013 and 200 million pounds in 2014. Costs for the project associated with equipment and mill refurbishment are expected to approximate $150 million. Project costs of $82 million have been incurred as of June 30, 2011 ($72 million during the first six months of 2011 ).

Safford Sulphur Burner. We have completed construction of the $150 million sulphur burner project at the Safford mine, which is providing a more cost-effective source of sulphuric acid used in SX/EW operations and lower transportation costs.

Table of Contents

Twin Buttes. In December 2009, we purchased the Twin Buttes copper mine, which ceased operations in 1994 and is adjacent to our Sierrita mine. The purchase provides significant synergies in the Sierrita minerals district, including the potential for expanded mining activities and access to material that can be used for Sierrita tailings and stockpile reclamation purposes. We are conducting drilling on the property and metallurgical studies to support a feasibility study expected to commence in late 2011.

a.	Reflects molybdenum production from certain of the North America copper mines. Sales of molybdenum are reflected in the Molybdenum division.

Copper sales volumes from our North America copper mines increased to 331 million pounds in second-quarter 2011 and 607 million pounds for the first six months of 2011 , compared with 289 million pounds in second-quarter 2010 and 580 million pounds for the first six months of 2010 , primarily reflecting higher production from the Morenci and Miami mines. For the six-month period increases from higher production were partly offset by timing of shipments.

For the year 2011 , copper sales volumes from our North America copper mines are expected to approximate 1.2 billion pounds, compared with 1.1 billion pounds of copper in 2010 . The restart of the Miami and Chino mines and potential expansion of the Morenci mine are expected to further increase production in future periods. Molybdenum production from our North America copper mines is expected to approximate 35 million pounds for the year 2011 , compared with 25 million pounds in 2010.

Unit Net Cash Costs. Unit net cash costs per pound of copper is a measure intended to provide investors with information about the cash-generating capacity of our mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for our respective operations. We use this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S. and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This measure is presented by other metals mining companies, although our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

a.	Molybdenum credits and revenues reflect volumes produced at market-based pricing and also include tolling revenues at Sierrita.


b.	Reflects molybdenum produced by certain of our North America copper mines.

Our operating North America copper mines have varying cost structures because of differences in ore grades and characteristics, processing costs, by-products and other factors. Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our North America copper mines averaged $1.36 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2011 and for the first six months of 2011 , compared with $1.17 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2010 and $1.15 per pound of copper for the first six months of 2010 , primarily reflecting higher site production and delivery costs ($0.32 per pound for the quarter and $0.37 per pound for the six -month period) resulting from increased mining and milling activities and higher input costs. Partly offsetting higher site production and delivery costs were higher molybdenum credits ($0.14 per pound for the quarter and $0.18 per pound for the six -month period) resulting from higher molybdenum volumes.

Table of Contents

The decrease in depreciation, depletion and amortization in the 2011 periods primarily reflects lower straight-line expense.

Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and an average price of $15 per pound of molybdenum for the second half of 2011 , we estimate that average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our North America copper mines would approximate $1.42 per pound of copper for the year 2011 , compared with $1.24 per pound of copper in 2010 . North America's average unit net cash costs for 2011 would change by approximately $0.025 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum during the second half of 2011 .

South America Mining

We operate four copper mines in South America – Cerro Verde in Peru, and El Abra, Candelaria and Ojos del Salado in Chile. We own a 53.56 percent interest in Cerro Verde, a 51 percent interest in El Abra, and an 80 percent interest in both Candelaria and Ojos del Salado.

South America mining includes open-pit and underground mining, sulfide ore concentrating, leaching and SX/EW operations. Production from our South America mines is sold as copper concentrate or copper cathode under long-term contracts. Our South America mines sell a portion of their copper concentrate and cathode inventories to Atlantic Copper, an affiliated smelter. In addition to copper, the Cerro Verde mine produces molybdenum concentrates, and the Candelaria and Ojos del Salado mines produce gold and silver.

Operating and Development Activities.

El Abra Sulfide. During first-quarter 2011, we commenced production from El Abra’s newly commissioned stacking and leaching facilities to transition from oxide to sulfide ores. Production from the sulfide ore, which is projected to reach design levels in the second half of 2011, is expected to approximate 300 million pounds of copper per year, replacing the currently depleting oxide copper production. The aggregate capital investment for this project is expected to total $725 million through 2015, of which approximately $565 million is for the initial phase of the project expected to be complete in 2011. Project costs of $475 million have been incurred as of June 30, 2011 ($114 million during the first six months of 2011 ).

We are also engaged in pre-feasibility studies for a potential large-scale milling operation at El Abra to process additional sulfide material and to achieve higher recoveries.

Cerro Verde Expansion. During second-quarter 2011, we completed the feasibility study for a large-scale concentrator expansion at Cerro Verde. The $3.5 billion project would expand the concentrator facilities from 120,000 metric tons of ore per day to 360,000 metric tons of ore per day and provide incremental annual production of approximately 600 million pounds of copper and 15 million pounds of molybdenum beginning in 2016. We expect to file an environmental impact assessment during the second half of 2011.

An agreement has been reached with the Regional Government of Arequipa, the National Government, Servicio de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado de Arequipa S.A. (SEDAPAR) and other local institutions to allow Cerro Verde to finance the engineering and construction of a wastewater treatment plant for Arequipa, should Cerro Verde proceed with the expansion. The treated water, which is currently unlicensed, would be used by Cerro Verde to supplement its existing water supplies to support the potential concentrator expansion.

Candelaria Water Plant. As part of our overall strategy to supply water to the Candelaria mine, we recently completed construction of a pipeline to bring water from a nearby water treatment facility. In addition, we have completed engineering for a desalination plant that will supply Candelaria’s longer term water needs, and construction has begun. The plant is expected to be completed by the end of 2012 at a capital investment of $280 million. Project costs of $49 million have been incurred as of June 30, 2011 ($43 million during the first six months of 2011 ).

Other Matters. As reported in Note 13 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, Cerro Verde has received assessments from SUNAT, the Peruvian national tax authority, in connection with claims for mining royalties related to the minerals processed by its concentrator, which was added to Cerro Verde’s processing facilities in late 2006. These assessments relate to the period from October 2006 through December 2007, and for the years 2008 and 2009. SUNAT has issued rulings denying Cerro Verde’s protest of the assessments, and Cerro Verde has appealed these decisions to the Peruvian Tax Court and tax authorities. Cerro Verde is challenging these royalties because its stability agreement with the Peruvian government exempts from royalties all minerals extracted from its mining concession, irrespective of the method used for processing those minerals. If Cerro Verde is ultimately found responsible for these royalties, it will also be liable for interest, which accrues at rates that range from approximately 7 to 18 percent based on the year accrued and the currency in which the amounts would be payable. At June 30, 2011 , the aggregate amount of the assessments, including interest and penalties,

Table of Contents

approximated $180 million. This amount will continue to increase at varying interest rates. SUNAT may continue to assess mining royalties annually until this matter is resolved by the Tax Court.

As reported in Note 14 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, during 2006, the Peruvian government announced that all mining companies operating in Peru would be required to make annual contributions to local development funds for a five-year period (covering the years 2006 through 2010) when copper prices exceeded certain levels that were adjusted annually. The contribution, which expired in 2010, was equal to 3.75 percent of after-tax profits, and totaled $41 million for the year 2010. It is not certain whether the contribution will be extended, abandoned, or replaced by a tax or different mechanism. We will continue to monitor any activity associated with this matter.

In July 2011, the Chilean senate approved changes to a bill regulating mine closure, which establishes new requirements for closure plans. Once effective our Chilean operations would be required to update closure plans and also will be required to provide financial assurance for these obligations. We will continue to monitor any activity associated with this legislation and any impact it may have on our operations.

Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our South America mining operations averaged $1.08 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2011 and $1.10 per pound for the first six months of 2011 , compared with $1.14 per pound in second-quarter 2010 and $1.16 for the first six months of 2010 . Lower unit net cash costs primarily reflected higher molybdenum, gold and silver credits ($0.18 per pound for the quarter and $0.19 per pound for the six -month period), partly offset by higher treatment charges ($0.08 per pound for the quarter and $0.06 for the six -month period) and higher site production and delivery costs ($0.04 per pound for the quarter and $0.07 per pound for the six -month period) associated with higher input costs, including materials, energy and currency exchange rate impacts.

Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and average prices of $1,500 per ounce of gold and $15 per pound of molybdenum for the second half of 2011 , we estimate that average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our South America mining operations would approximate $1.21 per pound of copper for the year 2011 , compared with $1.15 per pound in 2010 .

Indonesia Mining

Indonesia mining includes PT Freeport Indonesia’s Grasberg minerals district. We own 90.64 percent of PT Freeport Indonesia, including 9.36 percent owned through our wholly owned subsidiary, PT Indocopper Investama.

PT Freeport Indonesia produces copper concentrates, which contain significant quantities of gold and silver. Substantially all of PT Freeport Indonesia’s copper concentrates are sold under long-term contracts, of which approximately one-half is sold to affiliated smelters, Atlantic Copper and PT Smelting (PT Freeport Indonesia’s 25-percent owned copper smelter and refinery in Indonesia) and the remainder to other customers.

We have established certain unincorporated joint ventures with Rio Tinto plc (Rio Tinto), under which Rio Tinto has a 40 percent interest in certain assets and future production exceeding specified annual amounts of copper, gold and silver.

Development Activities. We have several projects in progress in the Grasberg minerals district, primarily related to the development of the large-scale, high-grade underground ore bodies located beneath and nearby the Grasberg open pit. In aggregate, these underground ore bodies are expected to ramp up to approximately 240,000 metric tons of ore per day following the currently anticipated transition from the Grasberg open pit in 2016. Over the next five years, aggregate capital spending on these projects is expected to average $635 million per year ($500 million per year net to PT Freeport Indonesia). Considering the long-term nature and large size of these projects, actual costs could differ materially from these estimates.

The following provides additional information on these projects, including the continued development of the Common Infrastructure project, the Grasberg Block Cave and Big Gossan underground mines and development of the Deep Mill Level Zone (DMLZ) ore body, that lies below the Deep Ore Zone (DOZ) underground mine.

Common Infrastructure and Grasberg Block Cave. In 2004, PT Freeport Indonesia commenced its Common Infrastructure project to provide access to its large undeveloped underground ore bodies located in the Grasberg minerals district through a tunnel system located approximately 400 meters deeper than its existing underground tunnel system. In addition to providing access to our underground ore bodies, the tunnel system will enable PT Freeport Indonesia to conduct future exploration in prospective areas associated with currently identified ore bodies. The tunnel system has reached the Big Gossan terminal and development of the lower Big Gossan infrastructure is ongoing. We have also advanced development of the Grasberg spur and have completed the tunneling required to reach the Grasberg underground ore body. Development continues on the Grasberg Block Cave terminal infrastructure and mine access.

The Grasberg Block Cave underground mine accounts for over one-third of our reserves in Indonesia. Production at the Grasberg Block Cave mine is currently scheduled to commence at the end of mining the Grasberg open pit, which is currently expected to continue until mid-2016. The timing of the transition to underground Grasberg Block Cave mine development will continue to be assessed.

Aggregate mine development capital for the Grasberg Block Cave mine and associated Common Infrastructure is expected to approximate $3.9 billion (incurred between 2008 and 2021), with PT Freeport Indonesia’s share totaling approximately $3.5 billion. Aggregate project costs totaling $398 million have been incurred through June 30, 2011 ($138 million during the first six months of 2011 ). Targeted production rates once the Grasberg Block Cave mining operation reaches full capacity are expected to approximate 160,000 metric tons of ore per day.

Big Gossan. The Big Gossan underground mine is a high-grade deposit located near PT Freeport Indonesia’s existing milling complex. The Big Gossan mine is being developed as an open-stope mine with backfill consisting of mill tailings and cement,

an established mining methodology. Production, which began in fourth-quarter 2010, is designed to ramp up to 7,000 metric tons of ore per day by the end of 2012 (equal to average annual aggregate incremental production of 125 million pounds of copper and 65,000 ounces of gold, with PT Freeport Indonesia receiving 60 percent of these amounts). The aggregate capital investment for this project is currently estimated at approximately $550 million, with PT Freeport Indonesia’s share totaling approximately $515 million. Aggregate project costs of $472 million have been incurred through June 30, 2011 ($28 million during the first six months of 2011 ).

DMLZ. The DMLZ ore body lies below the DOZ mine at the 2,590-meter elevation and represents the downward continuation of mineralization in the Ertsberg East Skarn system and neighboring Ertsberg porphyry. We plan to mine the ore body using a block-cave method with production beginning in 2015, near completion of mining at the DOZ mine. Drilling efforts continue to determine the extent of this ore body. We continue to develop the Common Infrastructure project and tunnels from mill level. In 2009, we completed a portion of the spur to the DMLZ mine and reached the edge of the DMLZ terminal and development continued on terminal infrastructure and mine access in 2010. Aggregate mine development capital costs for the DMLZ are expected to approximate $2.0 billion (incurred from 2009 to 2020), with PT Freeport Indonesia’s share totaling approximately $1.2 billion. Aggregate project costs totaling $182 million have been incurred through June 30, 2011 ($79 million during the first six months of 2011 ). Targeted production rates once the DMLZ mining operation reaches full capacity are expected to approximate 80,000 metric tons of ore per day.

Other Matters. As reported in Note 13 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, in October 2010, PT Freeport Indonesia received an assessment from the Indonesian tax authorities for additional taxes approximating $106 million and interest approximating $52 million related to various audit exceptions for 2005. PT Freeport Indonesia has filed objections to these assessments because it believes that it has properly paid taxes for the year 2005 and is working with the Indonesian tax authorities to resolve this matter.

As reported in Note 13 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, in December 2009, PT Freeport Indonesia was notified by the Large Taxpayer’s Office of the Government of Indonesia of its view that PT Freeport Indonesia is obligated to pay value added taxes on certain goods imported after the year 2000. The amount of taxes and penalties would be significant. PT Freeport Indonesia believes that, pursuant to the terms of its Contract of Work, it is only required to pay value added taxes on these types of goods imported after December 30, 2009. PT Freeport Indonesia has not received an assessment and is working with the applicable government authorities to resolve this matter.

As reported in “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, between July 2009 and January 2010, there were a series of shooting incidents along the road leading to our mining and milling operations at the Grasberg mining complex that resulted in three fatalities and several injuries. In early April 2011, there were two additional incidents that resulted in two fatalities and two injuries to PT Freeport Indonesia employees. The Indonesian government responded with additional security forces and expressed a strong commitment to protect the safety of the community and our operations. The investigation of these matters is continuing, and we have taken precautionary measures, including limiting use of the road to secured convoys. Our mining and milling activities have not been interrupted by these incidents; however, prolonged limitations on access to the road could adversely affect operations at the mine.

During July 2011, PT Freeport Indonesia union workers commenced an eight-day labor strike, which led to a temporary suspension of mining, milling and concentrate shipments. On July 11, 2011, PT Freeport Indonesia reached an agreement with the union to end the strike and operations have resumed. PT Freeport Indonesia estimates the aggregate impact of the strike on 2011 production approximates 35 million pounds of copper and 60 thousand ounces of gold. PT Freeport Indonesia has commenced negotiations with the union for its bi-annual renewal of the collective labor agreement, which is scheduled for renewal in October 2011. Refer to Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for further discussion of operational risks associated with labor disputes at our mining operations.

a.	Amounts represent the approximate average daily throughput processed at PT Freeport Indonesia’s mill facilities from each producing mine.

At the Grasberg mine, the sequencing in mining areas with varying ore grades causes fluctuations in the timing of ore production resulting in varying quarterly and annual sales of copper and gold. Copper sales from the Indonesia mining operations totaled 265 million pounds of copper in second-quarter 2011 , compared with 259 million pounds of copper in second-quarter 2010 , primarily reflecting the timing of shipments. Gold sales volumes from our Indonesia mining operations increased to 330 thousand ounces in second-quarter 2011 , compared with 276 thousand ounces in second-quarter 2010 , primarily reflecting timing of mine sequencing at Grasberg.

Copper sales from the Indonesia mining operations totaled 543 million pounds of copper for the first six months of 2011 , compared with 555 million pounds of copper for the first six months of 2010 , primarily reflecting lower copper ore grades. Gold sales volumes from our Indonesia operations increased to 784 thousand ounces for the first six months of 2011 , compared with 734 thousand ounces for the first six months of 2010 , primarily reflecting timing of mine sequencing at Grasberg.

For the year 2011 , we expect sales from our Indonesia mining operations to approximate 1.0 billion pounds of copper and 1.45 million ounces of gold, compared with 1.2 billion pounds of copper and 1.8 million ounces of gold in 2010 .

Unit Net Cash Costs. Unit net cash costs per pound of copper is a measure intended to provide investors with information about the cash-generating capacity of our mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for our respective operations. We use this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This measure is presented by other metals mining companies, although our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Because of the fixed nature of a large portion of PT Freeport Indonesia’s costs, unit costs vary significantly from period to period depending on volumes of copper and gold sold during the period. Unit net cash costs (net of gold and silver credits) for Indonesia averaged $0.22 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2011 and $0.02 per pound of copper for the first six months of 2011 , compared with $0.58 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2010 and $0.32 per pound of copper for the first six months of 2010 . Lower unit net cash costs primarily reflected higher gold and silver credits ($0.65 per pound for the quarter and $0.59 for the six -month period) mostly related to higher gold prices and volumes, partly offset by higher site production and delivery costs ($0.31 per pound for the quarter and $0.30 for the six -month period) reflecting higher maintenance and other input costs.

Treatment charges vary with the volume of metals sold and the price of copper, and royalties vary with the volume of metals sold and the prices of copper and gold.

Table of Contents

Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, and an average gold price of $1,500 per ounce for the second half of 2011 , we estimate that average unit net cash costs for PT Freeport Indonesia (net of gold and silver credits) would approximate $0.28 per pound of copper for the year 2011 , compared with a net credit of $0.04 per pound in 2010 . Indonesia's unit net cash costs for 2011 would change by $0.04 per pound for each $50 per ounce change in the average price of gold during the second half of 2011 .

Africa Mining

Africa mining includes the Tenke copper and cobalt mining concessions in the Katanga province of the DRC. The Tenke mine includes surface mining, leaching and SX/EW operations. Copper production from the Tenke mine is sold as copper cathode. In addition to copper, the Tenke mine produces cobalt hydroxide.

In October 2010, the government of the DRC announced the conclusion of the review of Tenke Fungurume Mining S.A.R.L.'s (TFM) contracts, and confirmed that TFM’s existing mining contracts are in good standing and acknowledged the rights and benefits granted under those contracts. In connection with the review, TFM made several commitments that have been reflected in amendments to its mining contracts, which were signed by the parties in December 2010 (refer to Note 14 in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for further discussion). In March 2011, the amendments were approved by a ministerial council, and a Presidential Decree signed by the President and Prime Minister of the DRC was issued in April 2011. After receiving the required government approval of the modifications to TFM's bylaws that reflect the agreement with the government of the DRC, our effective ownership interest in the project will be reduced to 56.0 percent prospectively, compared to our current ownership interest of 57.75 percent.

Operating and Development Activities. Pursuant to our agreement with Lundin Mining Corporation, we were responsible for funding 70 percent of the project development costs and 100 percent of certain cost overruns on the initial project. Of the approximate $2 billion we invested in the initial project, we have received payments of approximately $600 million through June 30, 2011 .

The milling facilities at Tenke, which were designed to produce at a capacity rate of 8,000 metric tons of ore per day, continue to perform above capacity, with throughput averaging 9,700 metric tons of ore per day in second-quarter 2011 and 10,200 metric tons of ore per day for the first six months of 2011 . Mining rates have been increased to enable additional copper production from the initial project capacity of 250 million pounds of copper per year to ramp up to approximately 290 million pounds of copper per year.

We are planning a second phase of the project, which would include optimizing the current plant and increasing capacity. As part of the second phase, we are completing studies to expand the mill rate to 14,000 metric tons per day and to construct related processing facilities that would target the addition of approximately 150 million pounds of copper per year in an approximate two-year timeframe. We expect production volumes from the project to expand significantly over time. Future expansions are subject to a number of factors, including economic and market conditions and the business and investment climate in the DRC.

We continue to engage in drilling activities, exploration analyses and metallurgical testing to evaluate the potential of the highly prospective minerals district at Tenke. These analyses are being incorporated in future plans to evaluate opportunities for expansion.

Unit net cash costs (net of cobalt credits) for Africa of $0.94 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2011 were higher than unit net cash costs of $0.79 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2010 . Africa's unit net cash costs of $0.91 per pound of copper for the first six months of 2011 were lower than unit net cash costs of $0.93 per pound of copper for the first six months of 2010 . The 2011 periods were impacted by higher site production and delivery costs ($0.35 per pound for the quarter and $0.25 for the six-month period) mostly associated with increased mining and milling activity and higher input costs. Offsetting higher site production and delivery costs were higher cobalt credits ($0.23 per pound for the quarter and $0.30 per pound for the six-month period).

Assuming achievement of current sales volumes and cost estimates and an average cobalt price of $14 per pound for the second half of 2011 , we estimate that average unit net cash costs (net of cobalt credits) would approximate $0.97 per pound of copper for the year 2011 , compared with $0.90 per pound in 2010 . Africa's unit net cash costs for 2011 would change by $0.05 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of cobalt during the second half of 2011 .

Molybdenum

We are an integrated producer of molybdenum, with mining, sulfide ore concentrating, roasting and processing facilities that produce high-purity, molybdenum-based chemicals, molybdenum metal powder and metallurgical products, which are sold to customers around the world. Our molybdenum operations include the wholly owned Henderson molybdenum mine in Colorado and related conversion facilities. The Henderson underground mine produces high-purity, chemical-grade molybdenum concentrates, which are typically further processed into value-added molybdenum chemical products. The Molybdenum operations also include the wholly owned Climax molybdenum mine in Colorado (refer to further discussion below); a sales company that purchases and sells molybdenum from our Henderson mine and from certain of our North and South America mines that produce molybdenum; and related conversion facilities that, at times, roast and/or process material on a toll basis for third-parties. Toll arrangements require the tolling customer to deliver appropriate molybdenum-bearing material to our facilities for processing into a product that is returned to the customer, who pays us for processing their material into the specified products.

Development Activities. Construction activities at the Climax molybdenum mine are approximately 75 percent complete. Construction is expected to be complete in early 2012, and we plan to commence production in 2012. Production from the Climax mine is expected to ramp up to a rate of 20 million pounds of molybdenum per year during 2013 and, depending on market conditions, may be increased to 30 million pounds of molybdenum per year. We intend to operate our Climax and Henderson molybdenum mines in a flexible manner to meet market requirements. Total estimated costs for the project approximate $700 million, of which approximately $456 million has been incurred through June 30, 2011 ($183 million during the first six months of 2011 ).

Other Matters. We are negotiating the renewal of the labor agreement covering certain employees at Rotterdam, our molybdenum conversion facility in the Netherlands, which expired in March 2011.

Operating Data. Following is summary operating data for the Molybdenum operations for the second quarters and first six months of 2011 and 2010 :

b.	Includes sales of molybdenum produced at our North and South America copper mines.

Consolidated molybdenum sales volumes increased to 21 million pounds in second-quarter 2011 and 41 million pounds for the first six months of 2011 , compared with 16 million pounds in second-quarter 2010 and 33 million pounds for the first six months of 2010 , primarily reflecting improved demand.

For the year 2011, we expect molybdenum sales volumes to approximate 77 million pounds (of which approximately 45 million pounds represents molybdenum production from our North and South America copper mines), compared with 67 million pounds in 2010 (of which 32 million pounds represented molybdenum production from our North and South America copper mines).

Table of Contents

Unit Net Cash Costs. Unit net cash costs per pound of molybdenum is a measure intended to provide investors with information about the cash-generating capacity of our mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for our respective operations. We use this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This measure is presented by other metals mining companies, although our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Gross Profit per Pound of Molybdenum

The following table summarizes the unit net cash costs and gross profit per pound of molybdenum at our Henderson molybdenum mine for the second quarters and first six months of 2011 and 2010 . Refer to “Product Revenues and Production Costs” for a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in our consolidated financial statements.

a.	Gross profit reflects sales of Henderson production based on volumes produced at market-based pricing. On a consolidated basis, the Molybdenum division includes profits on sales as they are made to third parties and realizations based on actual contract terms. As a result, the actual gross profit realized will differ from the amounts reported in this table.


b.	Reflects production at the Henderson molybdenum mine.

Henderson’s unit net cash costs were $6.21 per pound of molybdenum in second-quarter 2011 and $6.17 per pound of molybdenum for the first six months of 2011 , compared with $5.73 per pound of molybdenum in second-quarter 2010 and $5.65 per pound of molybdenum for the first six months of 2010 , primarily reflecting higher input costs, including labor and materials.

Assuming achievement of current 2011 sales volume and cost estimates, we estimate that unit net cash costs for Henderson would approximate $7.00 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2011 , compared with $5.90 per pound in 2010 .

Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining

Atlantic Copper, our wholly owned subsidiary located in Spain, smelts and refines copper concentrates and markets refined copper and precious metals in slimes. Our Indonesia mining operation sells copper concentrate and our South America mining operations sell copper concentrate and copper cathode to Atlantic Copper. Through downstream integration, we are assured placement of a significant portion of our concentrate production. During the first six months of 2011 , Atlantic Copper purchased approximately 36 percent of its concentrate requirements from our Indonesia mining operations and approximately 26 percent from our South America mining operations.

Smelting and refining charges consist of a base rate and, in certain contracts, price participation based on copper prices. Treatment charges for smelting and refining copper concentrates represent a cost to our Indonesia and our South America mining operations, and income to Atlantic Copper and PT Smelting, PT Freeport Indonesia's 25 percent owned smelter and refinery. Thus, higher treatment and refining charges benefit our smelter operations and adversely affect our mining operations in Indonesia and South America. Our North America copper mines are not significantly affected by changes in treatment and refining charges because these operations are fully integrated with our Miami smelter located in Arizona.

Table of Contents

In May 2011, Atlantic Copper successfully completed a scheduled 26-day maintenance turnaround, which had a $25 million impact on production and delivery costs in second-quarter 2011 and a $30 million impact for the first six months of 2011. Atlantic Copper's major maintenance turnarounds typically occur approximately every 12 years, with short-term maintenance turnarounds in the interim.

Atlantic Copper had operating losses of $46 million in second-quarter 2011 and $65 million for the first six months of 2011 , compared with $2 million in second-quarter 2010 and $13 million for the first six months of 2010 . The decline in Atlantic Copper’s operating results for the 2011 periods primarily reflects the impact of the May 2011 scheduled maintenance turnaround, lower gold credits and currency exchange rate impacts.

We defer recognizing profits on sales from our Indonesia and South America mining operations to Atlantic Copper and on 25 percent of Indonesia's mining sales to PT Smelting until final sales to third parties occur. Our net deferred profits on our Indonesia and South America mining operations’ inventories at Atlantic Copper and PT Smelting to be recognized in future periods’ net income after taxes and noncontrolling interests totaled $218 million at June 30, 2011 . Changes in these deferrals attributable to variability in intercompany volumes resulted in net additions to net income attributable to common stockholders totaling $14 million ($0.01 per share) in second-quarter 2011 and net reductions of $1 million (less than $0.01 per share) for the first six months of 2011 , compared with net additions of $20 million ($0.02 per share) in second-quarter 2010 and net reductions of $28 million ($0.03 per share) for the first six months of 2010 . Quarterly variations in ore grades, the timing of intercompany shipments and changes in prices will result in variability in our net deferred profits and quarterly earnings.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Our operating cash flows vary with prices realized from copper, gold and molybdenum sales, our sales volumes, production costs, income taxes and other working capital changes and other factors. Strong operating performance and copper prices have enabled us to enhance our financial and liquidity position, reduce debt and pay cash dividends to shareholders, while maintaining our future growth opportunities. We view the long-term outlook for our business positively, supported by limitations on supplies of copper and by the requirements for copper in the world’s economy, and will continue to adjust our operating strategy as market conditions change.

Based on current mine plans and subject to future copper, gold and molybdenum prices, we expect estimated operating cash flows for the year 2011 to be greater than our budgeted capital expenditures, expected debt payments, dividends, noncontrolling interest distributions and other cash requirements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At June 30, 2011 , we had consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $4.4 billion . The following table reflects the U.S. and international components of consolidated cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2011 , and December 31, 2010 (in billions):



	June 30, 2011			December 31, 2010

a.	Includes cash at our parent company and other North America operations.

Operating Activities

Our operating cash flows vary with prices realized from copper, gold and molybdenum sales, our sales volumes, production costs, income taxes and other working capital changes and other factors. We generated operating cash flows totaling $4.0 billion for the first six months of 2011 , including $382 million of working capital uses, compared with operating cash flows totaling $2.9 billion for the first six months of 2010 , including $107 million from working capital sources. Higher operating cash flows for the first six months of 2011 , compared with the first six months of 2010 , primarily reflected higher copper and gold price realizations and volumes.

Refer to “Outlook” for further discussion of projected operating cash flows for the year 2011 .

Table of Contents

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, increased to $1.0 billion for the first six months of 2011 , compared with $527 million for the first six months of 2010 , primarily reflecting higher capital spending associated with our development projects, including increased spending for construction on the Climax molybdenum mine, the underground development projects at Grasberg and the sulfide ore project at El Abra.

Capital expenditures for the year 2011 are expected to approximate $2.6 billion, including $1.4 billion for major projects. Major projects for 2011 primarily include underground development activities at Grasberg, construction activities at the Climax molybdenum mine and completion of the initial phase of the sulfide ore project at El Abra. We are also considering additional investments at several of our sites. Capital spending plans will continue to be reviewed and adjusted in response to changes in market conditions and other factors. Refer to “Operations” for further discussion.

Financing Activities

Debt and Equity Transactions. At June 30, 2011 , total debt approximated $3.5 billion , and we had 948 million common shares outstanding.

During second-quarter 2011, we redeemed the remaining $1.1 billion of our outstanding 8.25% Senior Notes and also made open-market purchases of $35 million of our 9.5% Senior Notes (refer to Note 6 for further discussion). In addition during second-quarter 2011, we repaid the remaining $85 million of our 8.75% Senior Notes, which matured in June 2011.

On April 1, 2010, we redeemed all of our $1 billion of outstanding Senior Floating Rate Notes. In addition, during the first six months of 2010 , we made open-market purchases of $547 million of our 8.25% and 8.375% Senior Notes. Refer to Note 6 for further discussion.

Since January 1, 2009, we have repaid approximately $3.8 billion of our outstanding debt resulting in estimated annual interest savings of approximately $270 million based on current interest rates. We have no significant debt maturities through 2016; however, we may consider opportunities to prepay debt in advance of scheduled maturities. We have $3.0 billion in 8.375% Senior Notes that are redeemable in whole or in part, at our option, at make-whole redemption prices prior to April 2012, and afterwards at stated redemption prices.

On March 30, 2011, we entered into a new senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which replaced the revolving credit facilities that were scheduled to expire on March 19, 2012. This revolving credit facility is available until March 30, 2016, in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, with $500 million available to PT Freeport Indonesia. At June 30, 2011 , we had no borrowings and $43 million in letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in availability of approximately $1.5 billion. Refer to Note 6 for further discussion.

We have an open-market share purchase program for up to 30 million shares, of which 23.7 million shares remain available. There have been no purchases since 2008. The timing of future purchases of our common stock is dependent on many factors, including our operating results; cash flows and financial position; copper, gold and molybdenum prices; the price of our common shares; and general economic and market conditions.

Dividends. Common stock dividends paid for the first six months of 2011 totaled $949 million , which included $474 million for the supplemental dividend paid on June 1, 2011. Common stock dividends for the first six months of 2010 totaled $130 million .

After being suspended in late 2008, the Board reinstated a cash dividend on our common stock in October 2009 at an annual rate of $0.30 per share ($0.075 per share quarterly). In April 2010, the Board authorized an increase in the annual cash dividend to an annual rate of $0.60 per share ($0.15 per share quarterly) and in October 2010, the Board authorized another increase in the cash dividend to an annual rate of $1.00 per share ($0.25 per share quarterly). The Board also authorized supplemental common stock dividends of $0.50 per share paid in December 2010 and $0.50 per share paid in June 2011.

On June 30, 2011, the Board declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share, which was paid on August 1, 2011. The declaration of dividends is at the discretion of the Board. The amount of cash dividends on our common stock is dependent upon our financial results, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the Board. The Board will continue to review our financial policy on an ongoing basis.

During 2010, our 6¾% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converted into 78.9 million shares of our common stock (refer to Note 11 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, further discussion). As a result, we no longer have requirements to pay preferred stock dividends. Preferred stock dividends paid totaled $95

million for the first six months of 2010 .

Cash dividends paid to noncontrolling interests totaled $195 million for the first six months of 2011 and $145 million for the first six months of 2010 , reflecting dividends paid to the noncontrolling interest owners of PT Freeport Indonesia and our South America mines.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since year-end 2010 . Refer to Item 7 in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 , for further information regarding our contractual obligations.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND RECLAMATION MATTERS

Our mining, exploration, production and historical operating activities are subject to stringent laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. There have been no material changes to our environmental and reclamation obligations since year-end 2010 . Refer to Note 13 in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 , for further information regarding our environmental and reclamation obligations.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

We do not expect the impact of recently issued accounting standards to have a significant impact on our future financial statements and disclosures.

PRODUCT REVENUES AND PRODUCTION COSTS

Unit net cash costs per pound of copper and molybdenum are measures intended to provide investors with information about the cash-generating capacity of our mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for the respective operations. We use this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This measure is presented by other metals mining companies, although our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

We present gross profit per pound of copper in the following tables using both a “by-product” method and a “co-product” method. We use the by-product method in our presentation of gross profit per pound of copper because (i) the majority of our revenues are copper revenues, (ii) we mine ore, which contains copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals, (iii) it is not possible to specifically assign all of our costs to revenues from the copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals we produce, (iv) it is the method used to compare mining operations in certain industry publications and (v) it is the method used by our management and the Board to monitor operations. In the co-product method presentation below, shared costs are allocated to the different products based on their relative revenue values, which will vary to the extent our metals sales volumes and realized prices change.

We show adjustments for prior period open sales as separate line items. Because the copper pricing adjustments do not result from current period sales, we have reflected these separately from revenues on current period sales. Noncash and other costs consist of items such as stock-based compensation costs, write-offs of equipment and/or unusual charges. They are removed from site production and delivery costs in the calculation of unit net cash costs. As discussed above, gold, molybdenum and other metal revenues at copper mines are reflected as credits against site production and delivery costs in the by-product method. Following are presentations under both the by-product and co-product methods together with reconciliations to amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

Our discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements in which we discuss factors we believe may affect our future performance. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical facts, such as those statements regarding projected ore grades and milling rates, projected production and sales volumes, projected unit net cash costs, projected operating cash flows, projected capital expenditures, exploration efforts and results, mine production and development plans, the impact of deferred intercompany profits on earnings, liquidity, other financial commitments and tax rates, the impact of copper, gold, molybdenum and cobalt price changes, potential prepayments of debt, future dividend payments and potential share purchases. The words “anticipates,” “may,” “can,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “intends,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “to be,” and any similar expressions are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements. The declaration of dividends is at the discretion of our Board and will depend on our financial results, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

We caution readers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated, projected or assumed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that can cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements include commodity prices, mine sequencing, production rates, industry risks, regulatory changes, political risks, the potential effects of violence in Indonesia, the resolution of administrative disputes in the Democratic Republic of Congo, weather-related risks, labor relations, including the resolution of labor negotiations in Indonesia, environmental risks, litigation results, currency translation risks and other factors described in more detail under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 , filed with the SEC as updated by our subsequent filings with the SEC.

Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions on which our forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after our forward-looking statements are made, including for example commodity prices, which we cannot control, and production volumes and costs, some aspects of which we may or may not be able to control. Further, we may make changes to our business plans that could or will affect our results. We caution investors that we do not intend to update our forward-looking statements notwithstanding any changes in our assumptions, changes in our business plans, our actual experience, or other changes, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements more frequently than quarterly.


Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in our market risks during the three months ended June 30, 2011 . For additional information on market risks, refer to “Disclosures About Market Risks” included in Part II, Item 7A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 . For projected sensitivities of our operating cash flow to changes in commodity prices, refer to “Outlook” in Part I, Item 2 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q; for projected sensitivities of our provisionally priced copper sales to changes in commodity prices refer to “Consolidated Results – Revenues” in Part I, Item 2 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.


Item 4.	Controls and Procedures.

(a)

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with the participation of management, have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on their evaluation, they have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(b)

Changes in internal control. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we implemented the general ledger and certain other portions of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) information technology system at our North America mining operations. This implementation is the initial phase of a project to establish the ERP system at all our operations over an approximate two-year period in order to upgrade our information technology infrastructure and enhance operating efficiency and effectiveness. A program to train employees and appropriately modify, test and monitor system results and the related internal controls was conducted in this initial implementation and is ongoing. Accordingly, our system of internal control over financial reporting for the corporate operations and impacted operating business units has been updated.

Other than the change referred to in the immediate preceding paragraph, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 , that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II.	OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.	Legal Proceedings.

We are involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business or are associated with environmental issues arising from legacy operations conducted over the years by Phelps Dodge Corporation and its affiliates. We are also involved from time to time in other reviews, investigations and proceedings by government agencies, some of which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief. There have been no new material legal proceedings since the information included in Part I, Item 3. “Legal Proceedings,” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Management does not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcome of any proceeding reported in “Legal Proceedings” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, although individual outcomes could be material to our operating results for a particular period, depending on the nature and magnitude of the outcome and the operating results for the period.

The following presents updates to litigation and environmental proceedings, which were reported in Part I, Item 3. "Legal Proceedings" of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010:

Litigation

Blackwell, Oklahoma Litigation . Information regarding this legal proceeding is incorporated by reference to Part I, Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. On July 27, 2011, the court granted plaintiffs' motion for class certification in the matter Coffey, et al., v. Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc., et al. , Kay County, Oklahoma District Court, Case No. CJ-2008-68.

Environmental Proceedings

Newtown Creek . Information regarding this legal proceeding is incorporated by reference to Part I, Item 3. "Legal Proceedings" of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Effective July 18, 2011, Phelps Dodge Refining Company, five other parties, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have entered an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) for performing the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study of the creek and reimbursing EPA for its oversight costs.

Item 1A.	Risk Factors.

Operational Risks

Labor unrest and activism could disrupt our operations and may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

As further described in Part 1. Items 1 and 2. “Business and Properties” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, we are party to labor agreements with various unions that represent employees at our operations. Labor agreements are generally negotiated on a periodic basis, and the risk exists that labor agreements may not be renewed on reasonably satisfactory terms to us or at all. We cannot predict what issues may be raised by the collective bargaining units representing our employees and, if raised, whether negotiations concerning those issues will be successfully concluded. Our production and sales volumes could be significantly reduced and our business, financial condition and results of operations adversely affected by significant reductions in productivity or protracted work stoppages at one or more of our operations. Additionally, if we enter into a new labor agreement with any union that significantly increases our labor costs relative to our competitors, our ability to compete may be materially adversely affected.

its bi-annual renewal of the collective labor agreement, which is scheduled for renewal in October 2011.

If we do not successfully negotiate new collective bargaining agreements with our union workers, including those employed by PT Freeport Indonesia, we may incur prolonged strikes and other work stoppages at our mining operations.

For additional information on risk factors, refer to Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 .
