Freeport Indonesia

Freeport says it’s on track to restart Indonesia copper mine after deadly mudslide

The company has already restarted two unaffected areas of the mine since the incident in September

An agreement to increase the 51 per cent stake in one of the world’s largest copper mines is close to concluding, but the shares would not be free, Danantara CIO Pandu Sjahrir said.

Danantara says Freeport stake will have a cost

Indonesia already holds a majority stake in Freeport, but officials signal Jakarta may seek more shares, possibly without payment.

Freeport had sought the export permit after a fire at a gas cleaning unit last October forced a halt in copper cathode production at a new smelter in Gresik in East Java.
