Stock-Based Compensation Plans. FCX has four stock-based employee compensation plans and one stock-based director compensation plan, which are more fully described in Note 6 of FCX’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In May 2004, FCX’s shareholders approved the “2004 Director Compensation Plan” (the 2004 Plan). The 2004 Plan authorizes awards of options and restricted stock relating to up to 1.0 million shares and the one-time grant of 66,882 stock appreciation rights. During the second quarter, FCX granted 202,017 stock options, 20,000 restricted shares and 66,882 stock appreciation rights under the 2004 Plan. Annual stock option and restricted stock grants vest under the 2004 Plan in 25 percent annual increments beginning one year from the date of grant.FCX accounts for ~~these~~options issued under all of its plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, which require compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans to be recognized based on the difference on the date of grant, if any, between the quoted market price of the stock and the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Because all the plans require that the employee pay at least the market price on the date of grant, FCX recognizes no compensation expense on the grant or exercise of its options. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if FCX had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” which requires compensation cost for all stock-based employee compensation plans to be recognized based on ~~the use of~~ a fair value method (in thousands, except per share amounts):

During the first quarter of 2004, FCX completed a tender offer and privately negotiated transactions for a portion of its remaining 8¼% Convertible Senior Notes due 2006 resulting in the early conversion of $226.1 million of notes into 15.8 million shares of FCX common stock. FCX recorded a $10.9 million charge to losses on early extinguishment and conversion of debt in the first quarter of 2004 in connection with these conversions. The $10.9 million charge included $6.4 million of previously accrued interest costs that were reversed, resulting in an equivalent ~~credit~~reduction to interest expense. ~~Cumulative conversions to equity of~~Of the $603.8 million of these ~~convertible~~ notes issued in 2001, ~~totaled~~a total of $537.3 million had been converted to equity as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2004. ~~The~~In June 2004, the remaining $66.5 million of ~~8¼% Convertible Senior Notes outstanding at March~~notes were called for redemption on July 31, ~~2004, are callable beginning in August~~ 2004. During July, all $66.5 million of the notes were converted into 4.7 million shares of FCX common stock.

On February 3, 2004, FCX sold $350 million of 6⅞% Senior Notes due 2014 for net proceeds of ~~$344.5~~$344.4 million. FCX used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the 6⅞% Senior Notes to repay $162.4 million of Atlantic Copper borrowings and to refinance certain other FCX 2004 debt maturities. Atlantic Copper recorded a $3.7 million charge for losses on early extinguishment of debt. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning August 1, 2004. FCX may redeem some or all of the notes at its option at a make-whole redemption price prior to February 1, 2009, and afterwards at stated redemption prices. The indenture governing the notes contains certain restrictions, including ~~against~~restrictions on incurring debt, creating liens, selling assets, entering into certain transactions with affiliates, paying cash dividends on common stock, repurchasing or redeeming common or ~~pref erred~~pr eferred equity, prepaying subordinated debt and making investments. During the second quarter of 2004, FCX purchased in the open market $9.7 million of the 6⅞% Senior Notes for $8.8 million, which including deferred financing costs resulted in a gain of $0.8 million recorded as a reduction to losses on early extinguishment and conversion of debt.

On March 30, 2004, FCX sold 1.1 million shares of 5½% Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock for $1.1 billion, with net proceeds totaling $1.067 billion. Each share of preferred stock is initially convertible into 18.8019 shares of FCX common stock, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $53.19 per common share. The conversion rate is adjustable upon the occurrence of certain events, including an increase in ~~the~~FCX’s common stock dividend ~~rate.~~rate above the current annual rate of $0.80 per share. Beginning March 30, 2009, FCX may redeem shares of the preferred stock by paying cash, FCX common stock or any combination thereof for $1,000 per share plus unpaid dividends, but only if FCX’s common stock price has exceeded 130 percent of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading ~~days.~~days immediately preceding the notice of redemption.

benefit plan discussed ~~below, including $0.1 million for service cost, $0.1 million for interest cost and $0.9 million for amortization of prior service cost.~~below.

In February 2004, FCX established a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) for its two most senior executive officers. The SERP provides for retirement benefits payable in the form of a ~~100 percent~~ joint and survivor annuity or an equivalent lump sum. The annuity will equal a percentage of the executive’s highest average compensation for any consecutive three-year period during the five years immediately preceding the earlier of the executive’s retirement or completion of 25 years of credited service. The SERP benefit will be reduced by the value of all benefits due under FCX’s cash-balance pension plan and all other benefit plans sponsored by FCX or any other predecessor employer. Unrecognized prior service cost at inception of the SERP totaled $18.9 million and is being amortized over the five-year term of the executive officers’ current employment agreements.

Interest expense excludes capitalized interest of ~~$0.4~~$0.7 million in the second quarter of 2004, $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2003, $1.1 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2004 and ~~$0.6~~$1.5 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2003.

For this calculation, earnings consist of income from continuing operations before income taxes, minority interests and fixed charges. Fixed charges include interest and that portion of rent deemed representative of interest.

We have previously audited, in accordance with ~~auditing~~the standards ~~generally accepted in~~of the ~~United States,~~Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, ~~stockholders’~~stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for the year then ended ~~(not~~not presented ~~herein)~~herein, and in our report dated January 28, 2004, which included an explanatory paragraph for changes in accounting principles, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

In management’s discussion and analysis, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX) and its consolidated subsidiaries. In our discussions of production and sales, references to “aggregate” amounts mean the total of our share and Rio Tinto plc’s share as our joint venture partner. You should read this discussion in conjunction with our financial statements, the related discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and the discussion of our “Business and Properties” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations reported and summarized below are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.

We operate through our majority-owned subsidiaries, PT Freeport Indonesia and PT Puncakjaya Power (Puncakjaya Power), and through PT Atlantic Copper, S.A. (Atlantic Copper) and PT Irja Eastern Minerals (Eastern Minerals), our principal wholly owned subsidiaries. PT Freeport Indonesia, our principal operating subsidiary, conducts exploration, mining and production activities in a 24,700-acre area called Block A located in Papua, Indonesia. PT Freeport Indonesia also conducts exploration activities ~~(currently~~(which are currently suspended) in an approximate 500,000-acre area called Block B in Papua. Puncakjaya Power’s sole business is to supply power to PT Freeport Indonesia’s operations. Our principal asset is the Grasberg mine located in Block A, which contains the largest single gold reserve and one of the largest copper reserves of any mine in the world.

Atlantic Copper’s operations are in Spain and involve the smelting and refining of copper concentrates and the marketing of refined copper products and precious metals in slimes. PT Freeport Indonesia owns a 25 percent interest in PT Smelting, an Indonesian company which operates a copper smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia. Eastern Minerals conducts mineral exploration activities ~~(currently~~(which are also currently suspended) in Papua, Indonesia.

We own approximately 90.64 percent of PT Freeport Indonesia, of which 9.36 percent is owned through our wholly owned subsidiary, PT Indocopper Investama. The Government of Indonesia owns the remaining approximate 9.36 percent of PT Freeport Indonesia. We received a request from the Indonesian Department of Energy and Mineral Resources to offer to sell to Indonesian Nationals shares in PT Indocopper Investama at fair market value. In response to this request and in view of the potential benefits of having additional Indonesian ownership in our project, we have agreed to consider a potential sale of an interest in PT Indocopper Investama at fair market value. Neither our Contract of Work with the Indonesian Government nor Indonesian law requires us to divest any portion of our ownership interest in PT Freeport Indonesia or PT Indocopper Investama.

Our copper and gold sales volumes have averaged 1.4 billion pounds of copper and 2.35 million ounces of gold annually over the ~~past five years.~~1999 to 2003 period. Average annual sales volumes over the next five years (2004 to 2008) are expected to approximate ~~1.34~~1.3 billion pounds of copper and 2.2 million ounces of gold. Based on these estimates and copper prices at approximately ~~$1.20~~$1.30 per pound, the impact on our annual cash flow for each $0.10 per pound change in copper prices would approximate ~~$63~~$60 to $65 million, including the effects of price changes on royalty costs and treatment charges, and for each $25 per ounce change in gold prices would approximate $28 million.

Following the October 9, 2003, slippage event and the December 12, 2003, debris flow in the same section of the Grasberg open pit, PT Freeport Indonesia focused its open-pit operations on accelerating the removal of waste material from the south wall to restore safe access to the higher-grade ore areas in the pit. These activities allowed PT Freeport Indonesia to resume in April 2004 previously planned mining operations in the key ore areas of the pit while continuing waste removal activities.

As previously reported, a portion of the higher grade ore previously forecast to be mined in 2004 ~~is expected to be~~has been deferred to future periods, resulting in plans to produce significant volumes of copper and gold in the last half of 2004 and in 2005. ~~Ore grades are also expected~~Compared to ~~increase during~~ the ~~year so that a significant portion~~first half of 2004, ~~metal sales~~ore grades are expected to ~~occur~~be higher for the remainder of 2004 and 2005 resulting in ~~the second half of the year.~~increased metal production in those periods.

Annual sales are expected to approximate 1.0 billion pounds of copper and 1.5 million ounces of gold in 2004, and 1.5 billion pounds of copper and 2.9 million ounces of gold in 2005. Consolidated operating cash flows for 2004 are expected to be adversely affected by the ~~timing~~significant volume of PT Freeport Indonesia’s metal sales in the fourth quarter and Atlantic Copper’s operating results (see “Smelting and Refining”). Consolidated operating cash flows in 2005 are expected to benefit from the projected increase in PT Freeport Indonesia’s metal sales.

The graph above illustrates copper prices and estimated available world copper inventories ~~in weeks of consumption~~ through ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2004. Copper ~~inventories~~stocks at the London Metal Exchange (LME) and New York Commodity Exchange (COMEX) declined sharply in 2003 and in 2004. The outlook for copper demand improved during the first quarter of 2004 with continued strong demand from China and emerging signs of increased manufacturing activity around the ~~world. In the first quarter of 2004,~~world and copper prices rose sharply following large increases ~~during~~in late 2003. During the ~~fourth~~second quarter of ~~2003. More recently, statements~~2004, steps taken by the Chinese government ~~about taking steps~~ to slow ~~its economic~~ growth ~~movements~~ in the Chinese economy, the expectations for increased U.S. interest rates, ~~and~~the resulting impact on foreign exchange ~~markets,~~rates particularly with respect to the U.S. dollar and euro exchange rate, and investor sentiment about commodity ~~markets~~prices caused copper prices to be volatile. Copper prices ranged from $1.16 to $1.44 per pound and averaged $1.26 per pound i n the second quarter of 2004. Favorable supply and demand fundamentals and continued declines in world copper inventories have resulted in ~~lower~~higher copper prices, which closed at ~~$1.20~~$1.31 per pound on the LME on ~~May 10,~~August 5, 2004. The ~~consensus~~ outlook for copper markets remains positive and many industry analysts are forecasting a market deficit in the next two years and average prices of over $1.00 per pound.

~~Gold~~The positive environment for gold continued in the second quarter with gold prices ~~rose more than 50 percent in 2003~~ranging from ~~their 2001 lows in tandem with~~$374 to $427 per ounce, supported by ongoing geo-political strife and terrorist fears, a weak U.S. dollar and large U.S. deficits, and actions by gold producers to reduce hedge positions. Gold prices averaged ~~$408~~$393 per ounce in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2004 and the current view of gold prices expressed by many market analysts ~~is positive, although more recent concerns about the strength of~~remains positive. Movements in gold prices have closely followed movements in the U.S. dollar ~~and investor sentiment about the gold market have caused gold prices to decline and the~~against other currencies. The London gold price closed at approximately ~~$375~~$391 per ounce on ~~May 10,~~August 5, 2004.

World metal prices for copper and gold have historically fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control as described further in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Accordingly, we make no predictions regarding future prices.

Consolidated revenues include PT Freeport Indonesia’s sale of copper concentrates, which also contain significant ~~quantities~~amounts of gold and silver, and the sale by Atlantic Copper of copper anodes, cathodes, wire and wire rod, and gold in anodes and slimes. Consolidated revenues and net income vary significantly with fluctuations in the market prices of copper and gold and other factors. Based on PT Freeport Indonesia’s projected share of 2004 copper sales (1.0 billion pounds) and assuming an average price of ~~$1.20~~$1.30 per pound of copper, a $0.01 per pound change in the average price realized would have an approximate $9 million impact on our revenues and an approximate $5 million impact on our net income. A $5 per ounce change in the average price realized on PT Freeport Indonesia’s share of projected 2004 gold sales (1.5 million ounces) would have an approximate $7 million impact on our revenues and an approximate $4 ~~mill ion~~million impact on our net income.

On limited past occasions, in response to market conditions, we have entered into copper and gold price protection contracts for a portion of our expected future mine production to mitigate the risk of adverse price fluctuations. We currently have no copper or gold price protection contracts relating to our mine production. We have outstanding gold-denominated and silver-denominated preferred stock with dividends and redemption amounts determined by commodity prices.

Consolidated revenues for the second quarter and first ~~quarter~~six months of 2004 reflect substantially lower copper and gold revenues at PT Freeport Indonesia and at Atlantic Copper, compared with the ~~first quarter of~~same periods in 2003. PT Freeport Indonesia’s revenues were adversely affected by lower ~~grade ores~~ore grades and reduced mill throughput as PT Freeport Indonesia ~~focused~~completed its efforts ~~on restoring~~to restore safe access to the ~~higher grade~~higher-grade ore areas in its Grasberg open-pit mine following the fourth-quarter 2003 slippage and debris flow events (see “Mining and Exploration – PT Freeport Indonesia Operating Results”). Atlantic Copper’s revenues were adversely affected by its scheduled major maintenance turnaround (see “Smelting and Refining – Atlantic Copper Operating Results”). PT Freeport Indonesia resumed mining ~~of higher-grade~~activities in high grade ore areas in April 2004 and ~~expects copper and gold sales volumes to improve over the remainder of~~normal milling operations in June 2004. ~~Atlantic Copper’s revenues were negatively impacted by the start of its 45-day major maintenance turnaround on March 22, 2004.~~

~~First-quarter~~Second-quarter 2004 consolidated revenues ~~include~~included net reductions of $5.6 million ($2.9 million to net income or $0.02 per share) primarily for final pricing of concentrates sold in prior quarters, compared with $0.6 million ($0.3 million to net income or less than $0.01 per share) to second-quarter 2003 revenues. Six-month 2004 consolidated revenues included net additions of ~~$7.6~~$7.2 million ($~~3.9~~3.7 million to net income or $0.02 per share) compared with ~~net additions of $10.2~~$11.0 million ($~~5.2~~5.7 million to net income or ~~$0.04~~$0.03 per share) ~~to first-quarter 2003 revenues,~~, primarily for final pricing of concentrates sold in ~~the previous year.~~prior years.

~~First-quarter 2004~~Consolidated production and delivery costs for the 2004 periods were ~~$28.1 million~~ higher than the 2003 ~~quarter~~periods primarily because of ~~higher costs at~~the largely fixed nature of PT Freeport Indonesia’s cost structure and the lower level of sales from PT Freeport Indonesia to Atlantic Copper ~~caused by~~in the ~~higher copper purchase costs.~~2004 periods. Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense ~~was $42.4~~decreased to $42.6 million ~~lower~~in the second quarter of 2004 and $68.0 million in the first six months of 2004 compared with $68.3 million and $136.1 million, respectively, in the 2003 periods, primarily because of lower sales volumes at PT Freeport Indonesia. Exploration expenses increased to ~~$2.2~~$2.8 million in the second quarter of 2004 and $5.0 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2004, from ~~$1.5~~$1.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively, in the ~~first quarter of~~ 2003 periods, reflecting increased drilling in Block A during ~~the first quarter of~~ 2004. General and administrative expenses ~~decreased~~increased to ~~$15.6~~$22.6 million in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2004 and $38.1 mi llion in the first six months of 2004 from ~~$16.5~~$20.7 million and $37.2 million, respectively, in the 2003 periods (see “Other Financial Results”).

Net interest expense decreased to ~~$33.4~~$39.3 million in the second quarter of 2004 from $55.5 million in the second quarter of 2003, and to $72.7 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2004 from ~~$52.5~~$108.0 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2003 primarily because ~~of lower~~we reduced average debt levels, including through the early conversions of our 8¼% Convertible Senior Notes into ~~our~~ common stock (see Note 3 and “Capital Resources and Liquidity – Financing Activities”). First-quarter 2004 conversions of 8¼% Convertible Senior Notes also resulted in a $6.4 million reduction of interest expense for previously accrued amounts that were reclassified as losses on early extinguishment and conversion of debt.

Other income (expense) includes the impact of translating into U.S. dollars Atlantic Copper’s net euro-denominated liabilities, primarily its retiree pension obligations. Changes in the ~~U.S.$/euro~~$/€ exchange rate require us to adjust the dollar value of net euro-denominated liabilities and record the adjustment in earnings. The exchange rate was $1.26 per euro at December 31, 2003, and $1.22 per euro at March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004. Exchange rate effects on our net income from euro-denominated liabilities were gains (losses) of ~~$2.1~~$(0.2) million in the second quarter of 2004, $(3.8) million in the second quarter of 2003, $1.8 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2004 and ~~$(2.5)~~$(6.3) million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2003.

PT Freeport Indonesia’s Contract of Work provides for a 35 percent corporate income tax ~~rate, and~~rate. PT Indocopper Investama (100 percent owned by FCX) will pay a 30 percent corporate income tax on dividends it receives from its 9.36 percent ownership in PT Freeport Indonesia. In addition, the tax treaty between Indonesia and the United States provides for a withholding tax rate of 10 percent on dividends and interest that PT Freeport Indonesia ~~pays~~and PT Indocopper Investama pay to our parent company. We also incur a U.S. alternative minimum tax at a rate of two percent based primarily on consolidated income, net of smelting and refining results. We currently record no income taxes at Atlantic Copper, which is subject to taxation in Spain, because it has not generated significant taxable income in recent years and has substantial tax loss carryforwards for which we have provided no financial statement benefit. We receive no ~~consolidated~~c onsolidated tax benefit from these losses because they cannot be used to offset PT Freeport Indonesia’s profits in Indonesia.

Parent company costs consist primarily of interest, depreciation and amortization, and general and administrative expenses. We receive minimal tax benefit from these costs, including interest expense, primarily because our parent company generates no taxable income from U.S. sources. As a result, our provision for income taxes as a percentage of our consolidated income before income taxes and minority interests will ~~decrease~~vary as PT Freeport Indonesia’s income ~~increases and vice versa~~changes absent changes in Atlantic Copper and parent company costs. ~~Our first-quarter 2004 consolidated provision for income taxes primarily includes taxes on previously deferred intercompany profits recognized during the period.~~ Summaries of the approximate significant components of ~~our~~the calculation of ~~the~~our consolidated provision for income taxes are shown below (in thousands, except percentages).

We have two operating segments: “mining and exploration” and “smelting and refining.” The mining and exploration segment consists of FCX’s Indonesian activities including PT Freeport Indonesia’s copper and gold mining operations, Puncakjaya Power’s power generating operations ~~after~~(after eliminations with PT Freeport ~~Indonesia~~Indonesia) and FCX’s Indonesian exploration activities. The smelting and refining segment includes Atlantic Copper’s operations in Spain and PT Freeport Indonesia’s equity investment in PT Smelting.

We defer recognizing profits on PT Freeport Indonesia’s sales to Atlantic Copper and on 25 percent of PT Freeport Indonesia’s sales to PT Smelting until their sales of final products to third parties. Changes in the amount of these deferred profits impacted operating income by ~~$48.2~~$(9.6) million in the second quarter of 2004, $(33.9) million in the second quarter of 2003, $38.6 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2004 and ~~$(2.0)~~$(35.9) million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2003. Our consolidated quarterly earnings fluctuate depending on the timing and prices of these sales. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2004, our deferred profits to be recognized in future periods’ operating income totaled ~~$8.0~~$17.6 million, ~~$4.1~~$9.0 million to net income, after taxes and minority interest sharing.

PT Freeport Indonesia reported lower production and sales in the ~~first quarter~~2004 periods, reflecting the mining of ~~2004, reflecting changes in mine sequencing at~~lower grade material and accelerated waste removal activities following the ~~Grasberg open pit.~~fourth-quarter 2003 slippage and debris flow events. Copper sales volumes totaled ~~105.4~~205.1 million pounds in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2004, 7348 percent lower than the ~~392.0~~395.2 million pounds reported in the ~~2003 quarter. First-quarter~~second quarter of 2003. Second-quarter 2004 copper price realizations of ~~$1.34~~$1.22 per pound were ~~$0.61~~$0.47 per pound higher than the ~~first-quarter~~second-quarter 2003 realizations of ~~$0.73~~$0.75 per pound. Gold sales volumes totaled ~~123,800~~351,100 ounces in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2004, 7959 percent lower than the ~~583,900~~849,200 ounces reported in the ~~2003 quarter.~~second quarter of 2003. Gold price realizations of ~~$411.42~~$389.97 per ounce in the second quarter of 2004 were $42 an ounce higher than second-quarter 2003 realizations of $347.69 per ounce. For the six month periods, copper sales volumes totaled 310.5 mi llion pounds in 2004, 61 percent lower than the 787.2 million pounds in 2003, and gold sales volumes totaled 474,900 ounces, 67 percent lower than the 1,433,100 ounces in 2003. Copper price realizations of $1.24 per pound in the first six months of 2004 were $0.49 per pound higher than the 2003 period realizations of $0.75 per pound. Gold price realizations of $393.80 per ounce in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2004 were approximately ~~$70~~$49 an ounce higher than ~~first-quarter~~ 2003 period realizations of ~~$341.55~~$345.14 per ounce.

Treatment charges and royalties were lower in the ~~first quarter of~~ 2004 periods compared with the 2003 ~~quarter~~periods primarily because of lower sales volumes. ~~Royalties~~Royalty costs totaled ~~$4.8~~$7.9 million in the second quarter of 2004, $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2003, $12.7 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2004 ~~compared with $6.8~~and $16.7 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2003. 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. In addition, treatment charges vary based on PT Freeport Indonesia’s customer mix.

Substantially all of PT Freeport Indonesia’s concentrate sales contracts provide final copper pricing in a specified future period based on prices quoted on the ~~London Metal Exchange (LME).~~LME. PT Freeport Indonesia records revenues and invoices its customers based on LME prices at the time of shipment. Under accounting rules, these terms create an “embedded derivative” in our concentrate sales contracts which must be adjusted to fair value through earnings each period until the date of final copper pricing. PT Freeport Indonesia’s ~~first-quarter~~second-quarter 2004 revenues include net ~~additions~~reductions of ~~$15.0~~$15.8 million for adjustments to the fair value of embedded copper derivatives in ~~first-quarter~~second-quarter 2004 concentrate sales contracts, compared with net ~~reductions~~additions of ~~$5.0~~$7.7 million in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2003. PT Freeport Indonesia’s six-month 2004 revenues included net reductions of $0.8 million for adjustments to the fair value of embedded derivative s in concentrate sales contracts, compared with net additions of $1.9 million in the 2003 period.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2004, embedded derivatives on consolidated copper sales totaling ~~55.3~~144.8 million pounds were recorded at an average price of ~~$1.38~~$1.22 per pound. All of these sales are expected to be finally priced ~~during~~over the ~~second quarter of 2004.~~next few months. A one-cent movement in the average price used for these embedded derivatives will have an approximate ~~$0.3~~$0.7 million impact on ~~our~~ 2004 consolidated net income.

At times, in response to market conditions, we have in the past and may in the future enter into copper and gold price protection contracts for some portion of our expected future mine production to mitigate the risk of adverse price fluctuations. We currently have no commodity price protection contracts relating to our mine production other than our gold-denominated and silver-denominated preferred stock.

PT Freeport Indonesia sells its copper concentrates primarily under long-term sales agreements denominated in U.S. dollars, mostly to companies in Asia and Europe and to international trading companies. In December 2003, PT Freeport Indonesia declared force majeure following the fourth-quarter 2004 slippage and debris flow events in the Grasberg open pit. In April 2004, PT Freeport Indonesia established safe access and ~~initiated~~resumed mining activities in the higher-grade ore areas of the pit. PT Freeport Indonesia’s share of sales for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2004 is projected to approximate ~~200~~260 million pounds of copper and ~~330,000~~360,000 ounces of ~~gold.~~gold, and 430 million pounds of copper and 660,000 ounces of gold for the fourth quarter of 2004. PT Freeport Indonesia’s share of sales is expected to approximate 1.0 billion pounds of copper and 1.5 million ounces of gold in 2004, and 1.5 billion pounds of copper and 2.9 million ounces of gold in 2005. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, Rio Tinto has a 40 percent interest in certain assets and future production exceeding specified annual amounts of copper, gold and silver through 2021 in Block A, and, after 2021, a 40 percent interest in all production from Block A. The agreement provides for adjustments to the metal sharing when events such as the slippage and debris flow events described above occur. Our estimate of PT Freeport ~~Indonesia's~~Indonesia’s share of sales is subject to adjustment based on actual ~~results.~~results and interpretation of the joint venture agreement.

Safety continues as PT Freeport Indonesia’s highest priority and the information gained from recent technical studies following the 2003 slippage events is being incorporated in our long-range mine plans. PT Freeport Indonesia’s share of annual sales over the five-year period from 2004 to 2008 is expected to average approximately 1.3 billion pounds of copper and 2.2 million ounces of gold. Annual metal production is expected to vary depending on the sequence of mine phases at the Grasberg mine. In addition, the recent mine plan incorporates a design would allow PT Freeport Indonesia to access at least 20 million metric tons of high-grade Grasberg underground reserves through the open pit, thereby extending the open pit life into 2015.

PT Freeport Indonesia has long-term contracts to provide approximately 60 percent of Atlantic Copper’s copper concentrate requirements at market prices and nearly all of PT Smelting’s copper concentrate requirements. Under the PT Smelting contract, for the first 15 years of PT Smelting’s operations beginning December 1998, the treatment and refining charges on the majority of the concentrate PT Freeport Indonesia provides will not fall below specified minimum rates, subject to renegotiation in 2008. The rate was $0.23 per pound ~~which had been the rate~~ since commencement of PT Smelting’s operations in 1998 ~~and~~until April 2004, when it declined to a minimum of $0.21 per ~~pound in April 2004.~~pound.

Net of deferred mining costs totaling ~~$26.2~~$31.5 million ~~(24.9~~(15.4 cents per pound) in the second quarter of 2004, $14.4 million (3.6 cents per pound) in the second quarter of 2003, $57.7 million (18.6 cents per pound) in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2004

and ~~$7.2~~$21.7 million ~~(1.8~~(2.8 cents per pound) in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2003.

Mill throughput averaged ~~151,800~~164,200 metric tons of ore per day in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2004, ~~and 238,200~~221,300 metric tons of ore ~~per day~~in the second quarter of 2003, 158,000 metric tons of ore in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2004 and 229,700 metric tons of ore in the first six months of 2003. The lower mill throughput rates reflect ~~PT Freeport Indonesia’s focus on restoring safe access to~~ the ~~higher~~mining of lower grade ~~ore areas in~~material and accelerated waste removal activities at the Grasberg open ~~pit.~~ pit following the fourth-quarter 2003 slippage and debris flow events. Mill throughput, which varies depending on ore types being processed, exceeded 200,000 metric tons of ore per day in June and is expected to average approximately 220,000 metric tons per day in the second half of 2004.Approximate average daily throughput processed at our mill facilities from each of our producing mines follows (metric tons of ore per day):

	First Quarter		Second Quarter		Six Months
	2004	2003	2004	2003	2004	2003
Grasberg open pit	106,400	188,100	118,700	171,100	112,600	179,600
Deep Ore Zone underground mine	45,400	35,800	45,500	40,800	45,400	38,300
Intermediate Ore Zone underground mine	-	14,300	-	9,400	-	11,800
Total mill throughput	151,800	238,200	164,200	221,300	158,000	229,700

Production atfrom the Deep Ore Zone (DOZ) underground mine averaged ~~a record 45,400~~45,500 metric tons of ore per day, representing 3028 percent of ~~first-quarter~~total second-quarter 2004 mill throughput. DOZ operations continue to perform above design capacity of 35,000 metric tons of ore per ~~day.~~day, and PT Freeport Indonesia expects to increase the sustained capacity of the DOZ underground operation to 50,000 metric tons per ~~day.~~day with the addition of a second crusher and additional ventilation for an aggregate estimated capital cost of approximately $50 million over a three-year period (PT Freeport Indonesia’s share would approximate $30 million). The DOZ has been developed as one of the world’s largest underground operations. The Intermediate Ore Zone underground mine was depleted during the third quarter of 2003, producing almost 30 percent more copper and gold throughout its 10-year life than the initial reserve estimates.

~~First-quarter~~Second-quarter 2004 copper ore grades averaged ~~0.50~~0.82 percent, compared with ~~1.15~~1.24 percent ~~for~~in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2003. Copper recovery rates were ~~83.8~~88.2 percent for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2004, compared with ~~88.4~~89.8 percent for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2003. In the ~~first~~second quarter of 2004, ore milled averaged ~~0.41~~0.95 grams per metric ton (g/t) of gold, compared with ~~1.26~~1.95 g/t in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2003. Gold recovery rates were ~~73.8~~84.6 percent for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2004, compared with ~~86.2~~87.9 percent for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2003. ~~In April~~The mining of lower grade material and accelerated waste removal activities at the Grasberg open pit reduced second-quarter 2004 ~~we resumed mining activities~~ore grades and recovery rates. Compared to the first half of 2004, ore grades are expected to be higher for the remainder of 2004 and 2005 resulting in ~~higher-grade ore areas.~~increased metal production in the second half of 2004 and in 2005.

Unit net cash production costs, including gold and silver credits, averaged ~~an extraordinarily high $1.19~~$0.40 per pound of copper during the ~~first~~second quarter of 2004, compared with ~~$0.07~~a net credit of $(0.16) per pound for the ~~2003 quarter. Unit~~second quarter of 2003. Higher unit site production and delivery costs in the 2004 period reflected significantly lower sales volumes resulting from PT Freeport Indonesia’s accelerated waste removal efforts on the south wall of the Grasberg pit, which were completed during the quarter, and the primarily fixed nature of a large portion of PT Freeport Indonesia’s cost structure.

Unit site production and delivery costs in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2004 averaged ~~$1.43~~$0.84 per pound of copper, ~~$1.03~~$0.44 per pound higher than the $0.40 reported in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2003. For the first six months of 2004, unit site production and delivery costs of $1.04 per pound were $0.64 per pound higher than the $0.40 per pound in the 2003 period. Unit production and delivery costs are net of deferred mining costs of ~~$0.25~~$0.15 per pound ($~~26.2~~31.5 million) for the second quarter of 2004, $0.04 per pound ($14.4 million) for the second quarter of 2003, $0.19 per pound ($57.7 million) for the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2004 and ~~$0.02~~$0.03 per pound ($~~7.2~~21.7 million) for the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2003. The increase in deferred mining costs primarily reflects ~~the~~PT Freeport Indonesia’s accelerated waste removal efforts. PT Freeport Indonesia’s ~~first-quarter~~second-quarter 2004 waste to ore ratio averaged ~~4.1~~4.0 to 1, compared with a life-of-mine average ratio of ~~2.2~~2. 2 to 1. An increase in the sustained capacity of the DOZ underground operation as discussed above would result in a higher life-of-mine average waste to ore ratio.

Unit treatment charges vary with the price of copper, and royalty rates vary with prices of copper and gold. In addition, treatment charges vary based on PT Freeport Indonesia’s customer mix. The copper royalty rate payable by PT Freeport Indonesia under its Contract of Work varies from 1.5 percent of copper net revenue at a copper price of $0.90 or less per pound to 3.5 percent at a copper price of $1.10 or more per pound. The Contract of Work royalty rate for gold and silver sales is 1.0 percent. In connection with our fourth concentrator mill expansion completed in 1998, PT Freeport Indonesia agreed to pay the Government of Indonesia voluntary additional royalties (royalties not required by the Contract of Work) to provide further support to the local governments and the people of the Indonesian province of Papua (see Note 1 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10- K). As a result of the recent rise in copper prices, we expect our 2004 royalty costs to increase compared with 2003 ~~royalties~~royalty costs of $26.5 million. If copper prices average $1.10 per pound and gold prices average $400 per ounce, we would expect ~~royalties~~royalty costs to total approximately $38 million ($0.04 per pound) for 2004. If copper prices average $1.30 per pound and gold prices average $400 per ounce, we would expect ~~royalties~~royalty costs to total approximately $45 million ($0.045 per pound). These estimates assume 2004 sales volumes of 1.0 billion pounds of copper and 1.5 million ounces of gold.

Assuming second-half 2004 average prices of ~~$1.20~~$1.30 per pound for copper and ~~$380~~$400 per ounce for gold, and copper and gold sales of 1.0 billion pounds and 1.5 million ounces for 2004, and 1.5 billion pounds and 2.9 million ounces for 2005, PT Freeport Indonesia estimates its net cash production costs, including gold credits, would average approximately ~~$0.37~~$0.38 per pound in 2004 (a weighted average of ~~$0.27~~$0.24 per pound for the remainder of the ~~year)~~year, with a higher average in the third quarter and a lower average in the fourth quarter because of lower projected sales volumes in the third quarter) and a net credit of ~~$(0.02)~~$0.04 per pound in 2005. The weighted average net cash production cost for the two-year period would approximate ~~less than $0.14~~$0.13 per pound. Net unit cash production costs for 2004 would change by approximately ~~$0.04~~$0.025 per pound for each $25 per ounce change in the average price of ~~gold.~~gold in the second half of the year. Forecasted unit costs ar e calculated on the same basis as the historical unit costs, which are discussed above and reconciled in “Product Revenues and Production Costs.”

The functional currency for our operations in Indonesia and Spain is the U.S. dollar. All of our revenues and a significant portion of our costs are denominated in U.S. dollars; however, some costs and certain asset and liability accounts are denominated in Indonesian rupiah, Australian dollars or euros. Generally, our results are positively affected when the U.S. dollar strengthens in relation to these foreign currencies and adversely affected when the U.S. dollar weakens in relation to these foreign currencies.

PT Freeport Indonesia recorded gains (losses) totaling $0.4 million in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2004, ~~and $(0.5)~~$(1.3) million in the second quarter of 2003, $0.9 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2004 and $(1.8) million in the first six months of 2003 related to its rupiah-denominated net monetary assets and liabilities. PT Freeport Indonesia’s labor costs are mostly rupiah denominated. At estimated annual aggregate rupiah payments of ~~1.1~~1.3 trillion and an exchange rate of ~~8,561~~9,400 rupiah to one U.S. dollar, the exchange rate as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2004, a one-thousand-rupiah increase in the exchange rate would result in an approximate $13 million decrease in aggregate annual operating costs. A one-thousand-rupiah decrease in the exchange rate would result in an approximate ~~$17~~$16 million increase in aggregate annual operating costs.

PT Freeport Indonesia purchases certain materials and supplies denominated in Australian dollars. At estimated annual aggregate Australian dollar payments of 200 million and an exchange rate of ~~$0.76~~$0.70 to one Australian dollar, the exchange rate as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2004, a $0.01 increase or decrease in the exchange rate would result in an approximate $2 million change in aggregate annual costs.

At times, PT Freeport Indonesia has entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of its aggregate anticipated Indonesian rupiah and Australian dollar payments. As of June 30, 2004, PT Freeport Indonesia had ~~no outstanding~~ foreign currency ~~forward~~contracts to hedge 450.0 billion in rupiah payments from April 2005 through December 2005, or approximately 34 percent of aggregate projected rupiah payments for 2005, at an average exchange rate of 10,059 rupiah to one U.S. dollar. PT Freeport Indonesia accounts for these contracts as ~~of March 31, 2004.~~ cash flow hedges.

To date, assay results have been received ~~for 23~~on 50 holes comprising approximately ~~9,000~~31,000 meters. The drilling intercepted mineralized zones in ~~19 of these~~46 holes with lengths ranging from 24 meters to 737 meters (average of ~~340~~322 meters) with interval grades ranging from ~~0.76~~0.41 percent to 7.11 percent copper equivalent ~~to 5.24 percent copper equivalent (average 1.80~~(averaging approximately 1.9 percent copper equivalent). We have initiated engineering studies on Deep MLZ required for reserve and resource determination. Pursuant to our joint venture arrangements with Rio Tinto, Rio Tinto is entitled to a 40 percent interest in any reserve additions. Copper equivalent percentage is used to express the relative value of multi-metal ores in terms of one metal, in this case, copper. The calculation expresses the relative value of the ore using estimates of contained metal quantities, metal prices, recovery rates, treatment charges and royalties.

PT Freeport Indonesia expects to complete is 2004 drilling activities and engineering studies required for reserve determination associated with the Deep MLZ mineralization by the end of 2004. Other 2004 exploration drilling targets include in-fill drilling at the Big Gossan underground ore body located between the mill complex and Kucing Liar, deep extensions of the Dom ore body located between the mill complex and the DOZ mine, and exploration along the Big Gossan/Wanagon trend.

The Indonesian government previously approved a suspension of our field exploration activities outside of our current mining operations area, which have been in suspension since 2000 due to safety and security issues and uncertainty relating to a possible conflict between our mining and exploration rights in certain forest areas covered by our Contracts of Work and an Indonesian law enacted in 1999 prohibiting open-pit mining in ~~protected~~ forest preservation areas. Recent Indonesian legislation allows for open-pit mining in PT Freeport Indonesia’s Block B area. The current suspensions were granted for one-year periods ending February 26, 2005, for Block B,B; March 31, 2004, for PT Nabire Bakti ~~Mining~~Mining; and November 15, 2004, for Eastern Minerals. We are currently seeking renewal for the PT Nabire Bakti Mining suspension and expect to continue to seek suspension renewals for additional one-year periods for each of the suspended areas as required.

Our investment in smelters serves an important role in our concentrate marketing strategy. PT Freeport Indonesia generally sells approximately one-half of its concentrate production to its affiliated smelters, Atlantic Copper and PT Smelting, and the remainder to other customers.

Treatment charges for smelting and refining copper concentrates represent a cost to PT Freeport Indonesia and income to Atlantic Copper and PT Smelting. Through downstream integration, we are assured placement of a significant portion of our concentrate production and operating hedges for treatment and refining charges. While currently low smelting and refining charges have adversely affected the operating results of Atlantic Copper, they have benefited the operating results of PT Freeport Indonesia’s mining operations.

a. Includes costs related to Atlantic Copper’s 51-day major maintenance turnaround totaling $23.5 million for the second quarter and $27.5 million for the six-month period.

Atlantic Copper returned to normal operations on May 12, 2004 following the completion of a 51-day scheduled major maintenance turnaround that began in March 2004, adversely affecting second quarter results. Atlantic Copper’s operating cash margin ~~(deficit)~~ was ~~$10.3~~a $26.3 million ~~lower~~deficit in the 2004 quarter, compared with a positive $6.1 million in the 2003 quarter, and a $26.7 million deficit in the first six months of 2004, compared with a positive $16.0 million in the first six months of 2003. The deficits in the 2004 periods were primarily because of ~~lower sales volumes caused primarily by the start of its~~Atlantic Copper’s major maintenance ~~turnaround and higher operating costs caused primarily by a stronger euro currency.~~ turnaround.

Atlantic Copper treated ~~187,100~~129,500 metric tons of concentrate and scrap in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2004, compared with ~~242,100~~244,600 metric tons in the ~~year-ago~~year ago period. ~~On March 22,~~For the six month periods, concentrate and scrap treated totaled 316,600 metric tons in 2004 ~~Atlantic Copper began a major maintenance turnaround, adversely affecting first quarter~~ and ~~projected second quarter results. Atlantic Copper currently expects to resume smelter operations on May 12, 2004, resulting~~486,700 metric tons in ~~a turnaround period of 51 days. Atlantic Copper produced 128.8 million pounds of cathodes and sold 112.0 million pounds of cathodes, including wire rod and wire.~~2003. Cathode production totaled ~~134.9~~67.5 million pounds and sales totaled ~~138.7~~102.4 million pounds during the ~~first~~second quarter of 2004, compared with 137.9 million pounds and 140.2 million pounds during the second quarter of 2003. For the six month periods, cathode production totaled 196.3 million pounds and sales totaled 214.4 million pounds during 2004, compared with 272.8 million pounds and 278.9 million pounds during 2003. Atlantic Copper’s cathode cash production costs per pound of copper, before currency hedging, averaged $0.57 in the second quarter of 2004, $0.16 in the second quarter of 2003, $0.36 in the first six months of 2004 and $0.16 in the fir st six months of 2003. Unit costs for 2004 were adversely affected by lower production and higher costs from the maintenance turnaround. Treatment charges ~~received by~~ Atlantic Copper receives continued at historically low levels averaging ~~$0.16 per pound during the first quarter of 2004 and $0.17 per pound during the first quarter of 2003. Unit cathode cash production costs averaged $0.23 per pound in the first quarter of 2004 and~~ $0.15 per pound for the ~~year-ago period. Unit costs were adversely affected by lower production, which added $0.04~~second quarters of 2004 and 2003, $0.15 per pound ~~primarily resulting from~~for the ~~maintenance turnaround, as well as a stronger euro/US$ exchange rate, which added $0.03~~first six months of 2004 and $0.16 per pound ~~to Atlantic Copper’s first-quarter 2004 unit costs compared with first-quarter 2003 unit costs.~~for the first six months of 2003.

Atlantic Copper reported an operating ~~loss~~losses of ~~$10.9~~$39.9 million for the second quarter of 2004, $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2003, $50.9 million for the first six months of 2004 and $3.6 million for the first six months of 2003. During the second quarter of 2004, ~~compared with operating income of $0.4 million in the 2003 period. The~~Atlantic Copper’s maintenance turnaround adversely affected costs and volumes resulting in an approximate ~~$4.6~~$35.0 million reduction in operating results, including an approximately $11.5 million impact from lower volumes, compared with second-quarter 2003 results. The effect of the 51-day turnaround on ~~first-quarter 2004 operating~~Atlantic Copper’s first half results ~~and net income. Atlantic Copper expects its second quarter operating results to reflect~~was approximately $40 million, including an ~~additional~~ approximate ~~$34~~$12 million ~~negative~~ impact from ~~the maintenance turnaround, including both the effect of turnaround expenses and reduced sales~~lower volumes. Major maintenance turnarounds of this duration typically occur approximately every nine years for Atlantic Copper, with significantly shorter term maintenance turnarounds occurring in the interim. Atlantic Copper has undertaken a co st reduction and operational enhancement plan, which will begin to be implemented during the second half of 2004. Once fully implemented, the plan intends to reduce unit costs and enhance operating and administrative efficiencies.

We defer recognizing profits on PT Freeport Indonesia’s sales to Atlantic Copper and on 25 percent of PT Freeport Indonesia’s sales to PT Smelting until the final sales to third parties occur. ~~Because of PT Freeport Indonesia’s reduced production and sales levels during the first quarter and resulting decline in PT Freeport Indonesia concentrate inventories at Atlantic Copper, changes~~Changes in these net deferrals resulted in ~~an addition~~reductions to our operating income totaling ~~$39.9~~$9.6 million ($~~20.5~~4.9 million to net income) in the second quarter of 2004 and an addition of $38.6 million ($19.8 million to net income) in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2004. The second quarter reduction in net income was lower than previous estimates primarily because of the timing of sales to affiliated smelters and lower copper prices. In the ~~first~~second quarter of 2003, changes in these net deferrals reduced operating income by ~~$4.1~~$33.9 million ($~~2.1~~17.4 million to net income). and by $35.9 million ($18.4 million) in the first six months of 2003. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2004, our net deferred profits on PT Freeport Indonesia concentrate inventories at Atlantic Copper a nd PT Smelting to be recognized in future periods’ net income totaled ~~$4.0~~$9.0 million. We expect that the net deferral of profits on PT Freeport Indonesia’s sales to Atlantic Copper and PT Smelting will result in a reduction to net ~~in come~~income over the remainder of the year as PT Freeport Indonesia’s production and shipments to ~~Atlantic Copper~~affiliated smelters increase. Based on current copper and gold prices and shipping schedules, we estimate the change in deferred intercompany profits on PT Freeport Indonesia sales to Atlantic Copper and PT Smelting will approximate a $13 million reduction to net income in the ~~remainder~~third quarter of ~~2004 will more than offset the additions to income recognized~~2004. The estimated change in deferred intercompany profits may differ substantially because of changes in the ~~first quarter. Our current estimate~~timing of ~~the second quarter deferral of intercompany profits approximates $18 million~~shipments to ~~net income.~~affiliated smelters and metal prices.

The majority of Atlantic Copper’s revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars; however, operating costs, other than concentrate purchases, and certain asset and liability accounts are denominated in euros. Atlantic Copper’s estimated annual euro payments total approximately 100 million euros. At a ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2004, exchange rate of $1.22 per euro, a $0.05 increase or decrease in the exchange rate would result in an approximate $5 million change in annual costs.

In March 2004, we used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of our 6⅞% Senior Notes to repay $162.4 million of Atlantic Copper borrowings (see “Capital Resources and Liquidity – Financing Activities”). Atlantic Copper recorded a $3.7 million ($0.02 per share) accounting charge for losses on early extinguishment of debt. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2004, FCX’s net investment in Atlantic Copper totaled approximately ~~$183.1~~$137 million, FCX had ~~an $83.5~~$189.5 million ~~loan~~of loans outstanding to Atlantic Copper and Atlantic Copper’s debt under nonrecourse financing arrangements totaled ~~$72.4~~$67.0 million.

Atlantic Copper had euro-denominated net monetary liabilities at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2004, totaling ~~$72.2~~$51.7 million recorded at an exchange rate of $1.22 per euro. The exchange rate was $1.22 per euro at March 31, 2004, and $1.26 per euro at December 31, 2003. Adjustments to Atlantic Copper’s euro-denominated net liabilities to reflect changes in the exchange rate are recorded in other income (expense) and totaled ~~$2.1~~$(0.2) million in the second quarter of 2004, $(3.8) million in the second quarter of 2003, $1.8 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2004 and ~~$(2.5)~~$(6.3) million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2003.

Lower concentrate tonnage from PT Freeport Indonesia resulted in lower production. First-quarter 2004 anodes production totaled 98.9 million pounds, compared with 141.0 million pounds produced in the first quarter of 2003. PT Smelting reported quarterly production of 97.0 million pounds of cathodes and sales of 92.0 million pounds of cathodes. Cathode production totaled 121.0 million pounds and sales totaled 116.8 million pounds during the first quarter of 2003. PT Smelting’s unit cathode cash production costs averaged $0.14 per pound in the first quarter of 2004 and $0.10 per pound in the year-ago period, reflecting the impact of lower volumes in 2004. PT-FI’s equity interest in PT Smelting’s earnings (losses) totaled $(0.4) million in the first quarter of 2004 compared to $0.7 million in the 2003 quarter.

Our exploration program for 2004 is focused on ~~targets in~~the Block A area of our Contract of Work, primarily the Deep MLZ target discussed earlier, that have ~~high~~ potential to add reserves and to provide information to support future exploration. ~~We incurred $2.2~~Our share of these exploration costs charged to expense totaled $2.8 million ~~of exploration expense~~ in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2004, ~~and $1.5~~$1.8 million in the second quarter of 2003, $5.0 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of ~~2003, representing~~2004 and $3.3 million in the first six months of 2003. Aggregate exploration costs for the second half of 2004 are expected to total approximately $5 million, of which our share ~~of exploration costs.~~is expected to be approximately $3.5 million.

General and administrative expenses were ~~$15.6~~$22.6 million in the second quarter of 2004 and $20.7 million in the second quarter of 2003. For the first six months of 2004, general and administrative expenses totaled $38.1 million, compared with $37.2 million for the first six months of 2003. The cost of our outstanding stock appreciation rights varies with the price of our common stock price, resulting in increases (decreases) in general and administrative expenses totaling $(1.1) million in the second quarter of 2004, $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2003, $(1.4) million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2004 and ~~$16.5~~$1.8 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of ~~2002.~~2003. Our parent company charges PT Freeport Indonesia for the in-the-money value of exercised employee stock options. These charges are eliminated in consolidation; however, PT Freeport Indonesia shares these charges with Rio Tinto and Rio Tinto’s reimbursements reduce our ~~consolidated~~cons olidated general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses include Rio Tinto’s share of joint venture reimbursements for employee stock option exercises ~~totaling $5.6~~which increased (decreased) general and administrative expenses by $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2004, $(1.3) million in the second quarter of 2003, $(4.9) million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2004 and ~~$1.0~~$(2.3) million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2003.

Total interest cost (before capitalization) was ~~$33.8~~$40.0 million in the second quarter of 2004, ~~quarter, $19.3~~$56.3 million ~~less than the $53.1 million incurred~~ in the second quarter of 2003, ~~quarter.~~$73.8 million in the first six months of 2004 and $109.4 million in the first six months of 2003.

First-quarter 2004 conversions of 8¼% Convertible Senior Notes also resulted in a $6.4 million reduction of interest expense for previously accrued amounts that were reclassified asto losses on early extinguishment and conversion of debt. Capitalized interests costs totaled ~~$0.4~~$0.7 million in the second quarter of 2004, $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2003, $1.1 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2004 and ~~$0.6~~$1.5 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2003.

Net cash used in ~~first-quarter 2004~~ operating activities during the first six months of 2004 totaled ~~$225.5~~$189.0 million, including ~~$262.3~~$245.4 million for working capital uses, compared with net operating cash flow provided by operating activities of ~~$49.2~~$284.1 million, including ~~$97.4~~$44.7 million for working capital uses, in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2003. The decrease in 2004 from the prior year ~~quarter~~ reflects significantly lower production and sales and increased working capital ~~requirements, including large tax payments~~requirements. Although we have $195 million available under our revolving credit facility, no amounts have been borrowed under this facility.

Each $0.10 per pound change in copper prices in the balance of the year would affect 2004 cash flows by approximately $35 million and 2005 cash flows by approximately $75 million. Each $25 per ounce change in gold prices would affect 2004 cash flows by approximately $12 million and 2005 cash flows by approximately $36 million.

PT Freeport Indonesia maintains property damage and business interruption insurance related to its operations. We have notified our insurers ~~and are in the process~~ of ~~quantifying the extent of our losses from~~ the October 9 and December 12, 2003 events and are in discussions with them about potential coverage for our losses from those events. Any losses covered by insurance would be subject to a substantial deductible and various coverage limits.

In January 2004, we completed a tender offer and privately negotiated transactions for a portion of our remaining 8¼% Convertible Senior Notes due 2006 resulting in the early conversion of $226.1 million of notes into 15.8 million shares of our common stock. We recorded a $10.9 million charge to losses on early extinguishment and conversion of debt in ~~the first quarter of 2004 in~~ connection with these conversions.

During July, all $66.5 million of the notes were converted into 4.7 million shares of our common stock.

On February 3, 2004, we sold $350 million of 6⅞% Senior Notes due 2014 for net proceeds of ~~$344.5~~$344.4 million. We used a portion of the proceeds ~~from the sale of the 6⅞% Senior Notes~~ to repay $162.4 million of Atlantic Copper borrowings and to refinance other FCX 2004 debt maturities. Atlantic Copper recorded a $3.7 million charge to losses on early extinguishment of debt to accelerate amortization of deferred financing costs. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning August 1, 2004. We may redeem some or all of the notes at our option at a make-whole redemption price prior to February 1, 2009, and afterwards at stated redemption prices.

During the second quarter of 2004, we purchased in the open market $9.7 million of the 6⅞% Senior Notes due 2014 for $8.8 million, which resulted in a gain of $0.8 million recorded as a reduction to losses on early extinguishment and conversion of debt, including related deferred financing cost.

On March 30, 2004, we sold 1.1 million shares of 5½% Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock for $1.1 billion, with net proceeds totaling $1.067 billion. Each share of preferred stock is initially convertible into 18.8019 shares of our common stock, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $53.19 per common share. The conversion rate is adjustable upon the occurrence of certain events, including an increase in ~~the~~our common stock dividend ~~rate.~~rate above the current annual rate of $0.80 per share. Beginning March 30, 2009, we may redeem shares of the preferred stock by paying cash, our common stock or any combination thereof for $1,000 per share plus unpaid dividends, but only if our common stock price has exceeded 130 percent of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading ~~days.~~days immediately preceding the notice of redemption.

We have no amounts outstanding under our $195 million credit facility. Commitments under the facility increased from $165 million to $195 million in March 2004 with the addition of another bank. We can increase the facility up to $350 million with additional lender commitments.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2004, we had total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of ~~$533.5~~$299.8 million and total outstanding debt of ~~$2.2~~$2.1 billion. In February 2003, our Board of Directors authorized the initiation of an annual cash dividend on our common stock of $0.36 per share ($0.09 payable quarterly). In October 2003, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in the common stock dividend ~~from~~to an annual rate of ~~$0.36 per share to~~ $0.80 per share. Dividend payments on common stock totaled ~~$39.2~~$74.7 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of ~~2004.~~2004 and $13.1 million in the first six months of 2003. The declaration and payment of dividends is at the discretion of the Board and will depend on our financial results, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the Board. Pursuant to the restricted payment covenants in our 10⅛% Senior Notes and 6⅞% Senior Notes, the amount available for dividend payments and other restricted ~~payments~~paymen ts as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2004, was ~~ap proximately $640~~approximately $400 million.

No shares have been purchased during the third quarter of 2004 through August 5, 2004. The timing of future purchases of our common stock is dependent ~~upon~~on many factors including the price of our common shares, our cash flow and financial position, and general economic and market conditions.

During the first quarter of 2003, we completed two senior note offerings. On January 29, 2003, we sold $500 million of 10⅛% Senior Notes due 2010. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year. We may redeem some or all of the notes at our option at a make-whole redemption price prior to February 1, 2007, and afterwards at stated redemption prices. The indenture governing the notes contains certain restrictions on incurring debt, creating liens, entering into sale leaseback transactions, taking actions to limit distributions from certain subsidiaries, selling assets, entering into transactions with affiliates, paying cash dividends on common stock, repurchasing or redeeming common or preferred equity, prepaying subordinated debt and making investments.

On February 11, 2003, we sold $575 million of 7% Convertible Senior Notes due 2011. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time on or prior to maturity into shares of FCX’s common stock at a conversion price of $30.87 per share, which is equal to a conversion rate of approximately 32.39 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes. We used a portion of the $1.046 billion in net proceeds from the two first-quarter 2003 note offerings to repay all of the then-outstanding amounts under our bank credit facilities.

Our discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements in which we discuss ~~factors we believe may affect~~ our ~~performance in the future.~~expectations regarding future performance. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as those regarding anticipated sales volumes, ore grades, commodity prices, royalties costs, unit cash production costs, capital expenditures, exploration expenditures, cash ~~flow,~~flows, debt maturities and other financial commitments, and political, economic and social conditions in our areas of operations. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance, and our actual results may differ materially from those projected, anticipated or assumed in the forward-looking statements. The resources and mineralization described in “Mining and Exploration – Exploration Activities” will not qualify as reserves until comprehensive engineering studies establish their economic feasibility. Accordingly, no assur ance can be given that the estimated resources and mineralization will become proved and probable reserves. Important factors that can cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements include unanticipated ~~declines in the average grades of ore mined, unanticipated~~mining, milling and other processing problems, accidents that lead to personal injury or property damage, persistent commodity price reductions, changes in political, social or economic circumstances in our area of operations, variances in ore grades, labor relations, adverse weather conditions, the ~~specu lative~~speculative nature of mineral exploration, fluctuations in interest rates and other adverse financial market conditions, and other factors described in more detail under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Net cash production costs per pound of copper is a measure intended to provide investors with information about the cash generating capacity of our mining operations in Indonesia. This measure is presented by other copper and gold mining companies, although our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

We calculate gross profit per pound of copper under a “by-product” method, while the copper, gold and silver contained within our concentrates are treated as co-products in our financial statements. We use the by-product method in our presentation of gross profit per pound of copper because (1) the majority of our revenues are copper revenues, (2) we produce and sell one product, concentrates, which contains all three metals and (3) it is not possible to specifically assign our costs to revenues from the copper, gold and silver we produce in concentrates. In the co-product method presentation below, costs are allocated to the different products based on their relative revenue values. Presentations under both methods are presented below along with a reconciliation to amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements.

There have been no significant changes in our market risks since the year ended December 31, 2003. For more information, please read the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with the participation of management, have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on their evaluation, they have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to FCX (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be disclosed in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings of a character normally incident to the ordinary course of our business. We believe that potential liability in such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We maintain liability insurance to cover some, but not all, potential liabilities normally incident to the ordinary course of our business as well as other insurance coverage customary in our business, with coverage limits that we deem prudent.
