own 90.64% of PT Freeport Indonesia, the principal operating subsidiary
in Indonesia, including 9.36% owned through its wholly owned
subsidiary, PT Indocopper Investama.
The Government of Indonesia owns
the remaining 9.36% of PT Freeport Indonesia. FCX operates under an
agreement with the Government of Indonesia, which allows Freeport to
conduct exploration, mining and production activities in a 24,700-acre
area (Block A). It also conducts exploration activities in an
approximate 500,000-acre area (Block B). All of Freeport's proven and
probable mineral reserves and current mining operations are located in
Block A.[1]
The 2006 production was 610,800 tonnes of copper; 58,474,392 grams of gold; and 174,458,971 grams of silver.[2
NOTA: Sayang sekali kerajaan Indonesia hanya milki saham 9.36% lombong emas tersebut dan 90.6% syarikat asing dari USA dan Australia.
