NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 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 Inc.'s’s (FCX) consolidated financial statements and notes contained in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015, as recast in the Form 8-K filed on November 9, 2016, for the presentation of TF Holdings Limited (TFHL) as discontinued operations.~~2016. 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. With the exception of the accounting for discontinued operations, assets held for sale and the ~~oil and gas properties impairment discussed below and the related tax charges to establish~~remeasurement of a ~~deferred tax valuation allowance (refer to Note 5),~~pension plan, all such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature. As a result of ~~FCX's second-quarter 2016 agreement to sell~~FCX’s sale of its interest in ~~TFHL,~~TF Holdings Limited (TFHL), FCX has reported TFHL as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the unaudited consolidated financial statements (refer to Note 2). Operating results for the ~~nine-month~~six-month period ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~,2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

Indonesia Mining. As a result of the first-quarter 2017 regulatory restrictions and uncertainties regarding long-term investment stability, PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI) took actions to adjust its cost structure, reduce its workforce and slow investments in its underground development projects and new smelter. These actions included workforce reductions through furlough and voluntary retirement programs. Following the furlough and voluntary retirement programs, a significant number of employees and contractors elected to participate in an illegal strike action beginning in May 2017, and were subsequently deemed to have voluntarily resigned under existing laws and regulations. As a result, PT-FI recorded charges to operating income for employee severance and related costs totaling $83 million for second-quarter 2017 and $104 million for the first six months of 2017.

Additionally, because of the significant reduction in workforce, PT-FI was required to remeasure its pension assets and pension benefit obligation as of June 30, 2017. The discount rate and rate of compensation increase used for the June 30, 2017, remeasurement were 7.50 percent and 4.00 percent, respectively, compared to the December 31, 2016, discount rate of 8.25 percent and the rate of compensation increase of 8.00 percent. The expected long-term rate of return on the plan assets was unchanged (7.75 percent). The remeasurement and curtailment resulted in the projected benefit obligation declining by $145 million and plan assets declining by $21 million. In addition, PT-FI recognized a curtailment loss of $4 million in second-quarter 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the funded status of PT-FI’s pension plan was a net asset of $34 million (included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet).

Oil and Gas Properties. ~~Under~~In the ~~U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) full cost accounting rules, FCX reviews the carrying value~~first half of its oil and gas properties in the full cost pool for impairment each quarter on a country-by-country basis. Under these rules, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties (net of accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment, and related deferred income taxes) for each cost center may not exceed a “ceiling” equal to:

~~the present value, discounted at 10 percent, of estimated future net cash flows from the related proved oil and gas reserves, net of estimated future income taxes; plus~~

~~the cost of the related unproved properties not being amortized; plus~~

~~the lower of cost or estimated fair value of the related unproved properties included in the costs being amortized (net of related tax effects).~~

These rules require that FCX price its future oil and gas production at the twelve-month average of the first-day-of-the-month historical reference prices as adjusted for location and quality differentials. FCX's reference prices are West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for oil and the Henry Hub spot price for natural gas. Such prices are utilized except where different prices are fixed and determinable from applicable contracts for the remaining term of those contracts. The estimated future net cash flows also exclude future cash outflows associated with settling asset retirement obligations included in the net book value of the oil and gas properties. The rules require an impairment if the capitalized costs exceed this “ceiling.”

~~In addition, following the evaluation of alternatives for the oil and gas business and the then-current limitations and cost of capital available for future drilling,~~2016, FCX Oil & Gas LLC (FM O&G, a wholly owned subsidiary of ~~FCX formerly known as FCX Oil & Gas Inc.)~~FCX) determined ~~in first-quarter 2016 that~~ the carrying values of certain of its unevaluated properties were impaired. For the first ~~nine~~six months of 2016, FM O&G transferred $3.2 billion of costs (including $3.1 billion in first-quarter 2016) associated with unevaluated properties to the full cost pool, mostly reflecting impairment of the carrying values of unevaluated properties. Combined with the impact of the reduction in twelve-month historical prices and reserve revisions in 2016, net capitalized costs exceeded the related ceiling test limitation under full cost accounting rules, which resulted in the recognition of ~~a $239~~impairment charges of $291 million ~~impairment charge~~ in ~~third-quarter~~second-quarter 2016 and ~~$4.3~~$4.1 billion for the first ~~nine~~six months of 2016. ~~The twelve-month average price (using WTI as~~Refer to Note 1 of FCX’s annual report on Form 10-K for the ~~reference oil price) was $41.68 per barrel at September 30,~~year ended December 31, 2016, ~~compared with $43.12 per barrel at June 30, 2016.~~for further discussion.

NOTE 2. DISPOSITIONS

~~Timok.~~TF Holdings Limited - Discontinued Operations. FCX hada70 percent interest in TFHL, which owns 80 percent of Tenke Fungurume Mining S.A. (TFM or Tenke) located in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). On November 16, 2016, FCX completed the sale of its interest in TFHL to China Molybdenum Co., Ltd. (CMOC) for $2.65 billion in cash (before closing adjustments) and contingent consideration of up to $120 million in cash, consisting of $60 million if the average copper price exceeds $3.50 per pound and $60 million if the average cobalt price exceeds $20 per pound, both during calendar years 2018 and 2019. The contingent consideration is considered a derivative, and at June 30, 2017, the related fair value of $55 million was recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. During the first six months of 2017, the fair value of the contingent consideration derivative increased by $42 million ($6 million in second-quarter 2017), primarily resulting from higher cobalt prices, and was recorded in net income (loss) from discontinued operations.

In accordance with accounting guidance, FCX has reported the results of operations of TFHL as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. The consolidated statements of cash flows are reported on a combined basis without separately presenting discontinued operations.

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations consists of the following (in millions):

The contingent payments would be received over time as Anadarko realizes future cash flows in connection with FM O&G’s third-party production handling agreement for the Marlin platform. Anadarko will assume future abandonment obligations associated with these properties. The transaction has an effective date of August 1, 2016, and is expected to close in fourth-quarter 2016, subject to customary closing conditions. Under the full cost accounting rules, this transaction will require gain (loss) recognition because of its significance to the full cost pool, but the amount is not expected to be material. In accordance with the mandatory prepayment provisions of FCX's Term Loan, one half of the proceeds from this transaction must be applied toward repaying FCX's Term Loan.

In connection with the sale of the Deepwater GOM properties, FM O&G entered into an agreement to amend the terms of the Plains Offshore Operations Inc. (Plains Offshore, a subsidiary of FM O&G) preferred stock that is reported as redeemable noncontrolling interest on FCX's consolidated balance sheets. The amendment provides FM O&G the right to call these securities any time between September 12, 2016, and January 10, 2017, for $582 million. FM O&G expects to exercise this option at the time the Deepwater GOM sale closes. If the option is not exercised, the terms will revert to the original purchase agreement as discussed in Note 2 of FCX's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as recast in the Form 8-K filed on November 9, 2016.

On October 14, 2016, FM O&G entered into an agreement to sell its onshore California oil and gas properties to Sentinel Peak Resources California LLC (Sentinel) for cash consideration of $592 million (before closing adjustments) and contingent consideration of up to $150 million, consisting of $50 million per year for 2018, 2019 and 2020 if the price of Brent crude oil averages $70 per barrel or higher in each of these calendar years. Sentinel will assume future abandonment obligations associated with the properties. The transaction has an effective date of July 1, 2016, and is expected to close in fourth-quarter 2016, subject to customary closing conditions. Under the full cost accounting rules, this transaction will require gain (loss) recognition because of its significance to the full cost pool, but the amount is not expected to be material. In accordance with the mandatory prepayment provisions of FCX's Term Loan, one half of the proceeds from this transaction must be applied toward repaying FCX's Term Loan.

~~Table of Contents~~

As part of the terms to sell the onshore California oil and gas properties, FM O&G entered into derivative contracts during October 2016 for a portion of the projected sales of oil from the properties and projected purchases of natural gas. Sentinel will assume these contracts upon completion of the sale. These derivative contracts consist of crude oil swaps and costless collars, and natural gas swaps, none of which were designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The derivatives will be recorded at fair value with the mark-to-market gains and losses recorded in revenues (oil contracts) and production costs (natural gas contracts).

As of October 31, 2016, FM O&G had hedged (i) approximately 72 percent of its forecasted crude oil sales through 2020 with fixed-rate swaps for 19.4 million barrels from November 2016 through December 2020 at a price of $56.04 per barrel and costless collars for 5.2 million barrels from January 2018 through December 2020 at a put price of $50.00 per barrel and a call price of $63.69 per barrel, and (ii) approximately 48 percent of its forecasted natural gas purchases through 2020 with fixed-rate swaps for 28.9 million British thermal units (MMBtu) from November 2016 through December 2020 at a price of $3.1445 per MMBtu related to its onshore California properties that are being sold to Sentinel.

~~TF Holdings Limited - Discontinued Operations.~~On May 9, 2016, FCX entered into a definitive agreement to sell its 70 percent interest in TFHL to China Molybdenum Co., Ltd. (CMOC) for $2.65 billion in cash and contingent consideration of up to $120 million in cash, consisting of $60 million if the average copper price exceeds $3.50 per pound and $60 million if the average cobalt price exceeds $20 per pound, both during calendar years 2018 and 2019 (no amounts were recorded for the contingent consideration as of September 30, 2016). Through its interest in TFHL, FCX has an effective 56 percent interest in Tenke Fungurume Mining S.A. (TFM or Tenke) located in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The closing of the transaction is currently subject to customary closing conditions, including the resolution of the right of first offer (which expires on November 15, 2016) of Lundin Mining Corporation (which holds a 30 percent interest in TFHL), and the parties are working towards a satisfactory resolution in order to complete the transaction in fourth-quarter 2016. In addition, La Générale des Carrières et des Mines (Gécamines), which is wholly owned by the DRC government and holds a 20 percent non-dilutable interest in TFM, recently filed an arbitration proceeding with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) International Court of Arbitration challenging the transaction; however, FCX believes that Gécamines’ claims have no legal basis. In accordance with the mandatory prepayment provisions of FCX's Term Loan, one half of the proceeds from this transaction will be applied toward repaying FCX's Term Loan.

In accordance with accounting guidance, FCX has reported the results of operations of TFHL as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and presented the assets and liabilities of TFHL as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. The consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) were not impacted by discontinued operations as TFHL did not have any other comprehensive income (loss), and the consolidated statements of cash flows are reported on a combined basis without separately presenting discontinued operations.

FCX has also agreed to negotiate exclusively with CMOC (until December 31, 2016) to enter into a definitive agreement to sell its interest in Freeport Cobalt for $100 million and the Kisanfu exploration project in the DRC for $50 million in separate transactions. Freeport Cobalt includes the large-scale cobalt refinery in Kokkola, Finland, and the related sales and marketing business, in which FCX owns an effective 56 percent interest. Kisanfu is a copper and cobalt exploration project, located near Tenke, in which FCX holds a 100 percent interest. As a result of the sale of TFHL, FCX expects to sell its interest in Freeport Cobalt and Kisanfu, and the assets and liabilities of Freeport Cobalt and Kisanfu are classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets. During second-quarter 2017, a favorable adjustment of $13 million was recorded in net gain on sales of assets in the consolidated statements of operations associated with the estimated fair value less costs to sell of the Kisanfu exploration project. The adjustment was limited to the reduction in the carrying value when the Kisanfu exploration project was initially classified as held for sale in November 2016.

NOTE 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

~~FCX’s~~FCX calculates its basic net income (loss) per share ~~attributable to~~of common ~~stockholders~~stock under the two-class method and calculates its diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the treasury-stock method. Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock was computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (after deducting accumulated dividends and undistributed earnings to participating securities) by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock was ~~computed using~~calculated by including the ~~most dilutive of (a) the two-class method or (b) the treasury stock method. Under the two-class method, net income is allocated to each class~~basic weighted-average shares of common stock ~~and participating securities as if all of the earnings~~outstanding adjusted for the ~~period had been distributed. FCX’s participating securities consist~~effects of ~~vested restricted~~all potential dilutive shares of common stock, ~~units (RSUs) for which the underlying common shares are not yet issued and entitle holders to non-forfeitable dividends.~~unless their effect would be anti-dilutive.

FCX recorded charges for adjustments to metals inventory carrying values of $20 million in third-quarter 2016 and $27 million for the first nine months of 2016, primarily for molybdenum because of lower molybdenum prices and higher average inventory costs, and $91 million in third-quarter 2015 and $154 million for the first nine months of 2015, primarily because of lower molybdenum and copper prices (refer to Note 10 for 2015 inventory adjustments by business segment).

NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES

Variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income result in fluctuations to ~~FCX's~~FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate.

Includes net tax credits of $32 million for second-quarter 2017 and $31 million for the first six months of 2017 associated with anticipated recovery of alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards. The second quarter and first six months of 2016 include net tax charges of $36 million associated with net operating loss carryback claims, partly offset by alternative minimum tax credits.

As a result of the impairment to U.S. oil and gas properties, FCX recorded tax charges of $1.6 billion for the first nine months of 2016 and $2.0 billion for the first nine months of 2015 to establish a valuation allowance primarily against U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets that will not generate a future benefit. In addition, FCX recorded net tax credits of $290 million for the first nine months of 2016 associated with alternative minimum tax credits, changes to valuation allowances and net operating loss carryback claims. Excluding these net charges, FCX's consolidated effective income tax rate was 32 percent for the first nine months of 2016 and 37 percent for the first nine months of 2015.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~As of~~ ~~December 31, 2015~~, FCX had determined that undistributed earnings of TFM were reinvested indefinitely and were allocated toward specifically identifiable needs of the local operations. In connection with the announced sale of its interest in TFHL, management concluded that its share of undistributed earnings of TFM were no longer reinvested indefinitely. This change did not have a material impact on FCX's results of operations.

Applicable accounting standards require that FCX estimate an annual effective tax rate and apply that rate to each year-to-date interim period. However, ~~because~~an exception is provided to exclude tax jurisdictions from the annual effective tax rate where losses are expected to be generated for which no tax benefit will be realized. Accordingly, U.S. operations have been excluded from the calculation of the estimated annual effective tax rate used to determine FCX’s ~~estimated effective~~ income tax ~~rate for 2016 is highly variable (i.e., minor changes in FCX’s estimated annual (loss) income would have~~provision at June 30, 2017.

On February 26, 2016, FCX amended its revolving credit facility and Term Loan. The amendments included (i) modification of the maximum leverage ratio and the minimum interest expense coverage ratio, and (ii) the addition of a springing collateral and guarantee trigger. In addition, the commitment under the revolving credit facility was reduced from $4.0 billion to $3.5 billion, and the mandatory prepayment provision was modified under the Term Loan, which requires one-half of proceeds from asset sales to be applied toward repaying the Term Loan. Refer to Note 18 of FCX's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as recast in the Form 8-K filed on November 9, 2016, for further discussion of these amendments.

In second-quarter 2016, FCX prepaid $568 million on the Term Loan with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the 13 percent undivided interest in Morenci and the interest in the Timok exploration project.

~~With closed and pending asset sales exceeding the required $3 billion threshold under FCX's revolving credit facility and Term Loan as of~~Revolving Credit Facility. At June 30, 2016, the springing collateral requirement under these agreements was not triggered on that date. Since the closing of the transactions necessary to reach the $3 billion threshold is not expected to occur until fourth-quarter 2016, FCX was required to pledge its shares in FMC on June 30, 2016, which will be released upon closing of transactions necessary to reach the required threshold. If the required $3 billion threshold for asset sale closings has not been reached by December 31, 2016, the springing collateral requirement will be triggered.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~At September 30, 2016,~~2017, there were no borrowings outstanding and $4337 million in letters of credit issued under ~~FCX's~~FCX’s revolving credit facility, resulting in availability of approximately $3.5 billion, of which approximately $1.5 billion could be used for additional letters of credit.

Senior Notes Issued by FCX. In March 2017, FCX’s 2.15% Senior Notes matured, and the $500 million outstanding principal balance was repaid.

Cerro Verde Credit Facility and Shareholder Loans. In June 2017, Cerro Verde’s credit facility was amended to increase the commitment by $225 million to $1.5 billion, modify the amortization schedule and to extend the maturity date to June 19, 2022. The amended credit facility amortizes in four installments, with $225 million due on December 31, 2020, $225 million due on June 30, 2021, $525 million due on December 31, 2021, and the remaining balance due on the maturity date of June 19, 2022. All other terms, including the interest rates, remain the same. The interest rate on Cerro Verde's credit facility was 3.12 percent at June 30, 2017. Cerro Verde used proceeds from its amended credit facility plus available cash to repay the balance of its shareholder loans in June 2017. Refer to Note 8 of FCX’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, for further discussion.

Exchanges and Early Extinguishment of ~~Debt~~Debt. During second-quarter 2017, a $4 million loss was recognized associated with the modification of Cerro Verde’s credit facility.

During ~~the second and third quarters of~~second-quarter 2016, FCX redeemed certain senior notes in exchange for its common stock, ~~(refer to~~which resulted in a gain of $39 million. Partially offsetting the ~~discussion under "Equity"~~gain was $3 million in ~~this note). A summary of these debt extinguishments follows (in millions):~~

~~Equity.~~ In 2015 and through January 5, 2016, FCX generated approximately $2 billion in gross proceeds (proceeds of $1.97 billion net of $20 million of commissions and expenses) through the sale of 210 million shares of common stock (206 million shares through December 31, 2015, and 4 million shares (with a value of $32 million) in January 2016) under its 2015 at-the-market equity programs. At October 31, 2016, FCX has approximately $12 million remaining under these at-the-market equity programs. FCX used the proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness.

On July 27, 2016, FCX commenced a new registered at-the-market equity offering of up to $1.5 billion of common stock. Through September 30, 2016, FCX sold 33.5 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $12.39 per share, which generated gross proceeds of $415 million (net proceeds of $411 million after $4 million of commissions and expenses). From October 1, 2016, through November 8, 2016, FCX sold 26.3 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $11.54 per share, which generated gross proceeds of $304 million (net proceeds of $301 million after $3 million of commissions and expenses). FCX will use the proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness.

During second-quarter 2016, FCX issued 48 million shares of its common stock (with a value of $540 million, excluding $5 million of commissions paid by FCX) in connection with the settlement of two drilling rig contracts (refer to Note 9 for further discussion).

During second-quarter 2016 and through August 4, 2016, FCX negotiated private exchange transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, whereby 28 million shares of FCX's common stock were issued (with an aggregate value of $311 million), in exchange for $369 million principal amount of FCX’s senior notes.

NOTE 7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FCX does not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments unless there is an existing asset or obligation, or it anticipates a future activity that is likely to occur and will result in exposure to market risks, which FCX intends to offset or mitigate. 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 changes, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

Commodity Contracts. From time to time, FCX has entered into derivative 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 ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, FCX had no price protection contracts relating to its mine ~~production or future sales of oil and gas. In connection with the agreement to sell FM O&G's onshore California properties, FCX entered into derivative contracts for oil and gas (see Note 2).~~production. A discussion of FCX’s derivative contracts and programs ~~except for the oil and gas derivative contracts discussed in Note 2,~~ 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 Commodity Exchange Inc. (COMEX)~~, a division of NYMEX,~~ 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 or swap contracts. Hedging 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 nine-month periods ended~~ ~~September 30, 2016~~ ~~and~~ ~~2015~~, resulting from hedge ~~ineffectiveness.~~ineffectiveness during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~,2017, FCX held copper futures and swap contracts that qualified for hedge accounting for 5349 million pounds at an average contract price of ~~$2.18~~$2.59 per pound, with maturities through ~~April 2018~~.December 2018.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

Embedded Derivatives. As described in Note 1 to ~~FCX's~~FCX’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015, as recast in the Form 8-K filed on November 9,~~ 2016, under “Revenue Recognition,” certain FCX copper concentrate, copper cathode and gold sales contracts provide for provisional pricing primarily based on the London Metal Exchange (LME) copper price or the COMEX copper price and the London Bullion Market Association (London) gold price at the time of shipment as specified in the contract. Similarly, FCX purchases copper under contracts that provide for provisional pricing. 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 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 concentrate or cathode at the then-current LME or COMEX copper price or the London gold price as defined in the contract. Mark-to-market price fluctuations from these embedded derivatives related to continuing operations are recorded through the settlement date and are reflected in revenues for sales contracts and in cost of sales as production and delivery costs for purchase contracts. Mark-to-market price fluctuations associated with embedded derivatives for discontinued operations, which were minimal, are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented in these financial statements.

~~Crude Oil Contracts.~~ As a result of the acquisition of the oil and gas business, FCX had derivative contracts in 2015 that consisted of crude oil options. These derivatives were not designated as hedging instruments and were recorded at fair value with the mark-to-market gains and losses recorded in revenues. The crude oil options were entered into to protect the realized price of a portion of expected future sales in order to limit the effects of crude oil price decreases. The remaining contracts matured in 2015.

Copper Forward Contracts. Atlantic Copper, ~~FCX's~~FCX’s wholly owned smelting and refining unit in Spain, enters into copper forward 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 ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~,2017, Atlantic Copper held net copper forward ~~purchase~~sales contracts for 1033 million pounds at an average contract price of ~~$2.17~~$2.57 per pound, with maturities through ~~November 2016~~.September 2017.

Credit Risk. FCX is exposed to credit loss when financial institutions with which ~~FCX~~it 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 counterparties it deals with will default on their obligations. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~,2017, the maximum amount of credit exposure associated with derivative transactions was ~~$48 million~~.$64 million.

Other Financial Instruments. Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash, investment securities, legally restricted funds, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and long-term debt. The carrying value for cash and cash equivalents (which included time deposits of ~~$58 million~~$1.6 billion at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~,2017, and ~~$34~~$64 million at December 31, ~~2015)~~2016), accounts receivable, restricted cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses (refer to Note 8 for the fair values of investment securities, legally restricted funds and long-term debt).

In addition, as of June 30, 2017, FCX has contingent ~~liabilities~~consideration assets related to the ~~settlement of FM O&G's drilling rig contracts~~2016 asset sales (refer to Note 8 for the related fair value and to Note 92 of FCX’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, for further discussion of these instruments).

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value accounting guidance includes a 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) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

FCX recognizes transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. FCX did not have any significant transfers in or out of Level 1, 2 or 3 for ~~third-quarter~~ ~~2016~~.second-quarter 2017.

~~Effective January 1, 2016, FCX retrospectively adopted~~FCX’s financial instruments are recorded on the ~~Accounting Standards Update (ASU)~~consolidated balance sheets at fair value except for contingent consideration associated with ~~investments for which fair value is measured using~~ the ~~net asset value (NAV) per share as a practical expedient. As a result, investments valued using NAV per share are shown in~~sale of the ~~tables below in a column separate from~~Deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM) oil and gas properties (which was recorded under the ~~levels within the fair value hierarchy.~~loss recovery approach) and debt. A summary of the carrying amount and fair value of FCX’s financial instruments, other than cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities (refer to Note 7) follows (in millions):

Valuation Techniques. The U.S. core fixed income fund is valued at net asset value (NAV). The fund strategy seeks total return consisting of income and capital appreciation primarily by investing in a broad range of investment-grade debt securities, including U.S. government obligations, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and money market instruments. There are no restrictions on redemptions (which are usually within one business day of notice).

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

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.

Fixed income securities (government securities, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds) are valued using a bid-evaluation price or a mid-evaluation price. A bid-evaluation price is an estimated price at which a dealer would pay for a security. A mid-evaluation price 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.

FCX’s embedded derivatives on provisional copper concentrate, copper cathode and gold purchases and sales are valued using only quoted monthly LME or COMEX copper forward prices and the London gold forward price at each reporting date based on the month of maturity (refer to Note 7 for further discussion); however, ~~FCX's~~FCX’s contracts themselves are not traded on an exchange. As a result, these derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

FCX’s derivative financial instruments for copper futures and swap contracts and copper forward contracts that are traded on the respective exchanges are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted monthly COMEX or LME prices at each reporting date based on the month of maturity (refer to Note 7 for further discussion). Certain of these contracts are traded on the over-the-counter market and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on COMEX and LME forward prices.

~~Contingent liabilities~~The fair value of contingent consideration for the sales of TFHL and onshore California oil and gas properties is calculated based on average commodity price forecasts through applicable maturity dates using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The models use various observable inputs, including Brent crude oil forward prices, historical copper and cobalt prices, volatilities, discount rates and settlement terms. As a result, these contingent consideration assets are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of contingent consideration for the sale of Deepwater GOM oil and gas properties is calculated based on a discounted cash flow model using inputs that include third-party reserve estimates, production rates, production timing and discount rates. Because significant inputs are not observable in the market, the contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The December 31, 2016, fair value of contingent payments for the settlements of drilling rig contracts ~~(refer to Note 9 for further discussion) are~~was calculated based on the average price forecasts of ~~WTI~~West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil over the 12-month period ending June 30, ~~2017. The fair value is estimated~~2017, using a ~~Monte Carlo simulation~~mean-reverting model. The model ~~that uses~~used various observable inputs, including WTI crude oil forward prices, volatilities, discount rate and settlement terms. As a result, these contingent ~~liabilities are~~payments were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2017, the contingency period for FM O&G’s drilling rig contract settlements ended, and no additional amounts were paid.

Long-term debt, including current portion, is valued using available market quotes and, as such, is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The U.S. core fixed income fund is valued at NAV. The fund strategy seeks total return consisting of income and capital appreciation primarily by investing in a broad range of investment-grade debt securities, including U.S. government obligations, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and money market instruments. There are no restrictions on redemptions (usually within one business day of notice).

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 measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the techniques used at ~~September~~June 30, 2017, as compared to those techniques used at December 31, 2016.

NOTE 9. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

Environmental

~~Litigation.~~ Uranium Mining Sites

As reported in Note 12 of FCX’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, the Department of Justice, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Navajo Nation and two FCX-related subsidiaries reached an agreement regarding the scope of environmental investigation and remediation work for the cleanup of 94 former uranium mining sites on tribal lands, and the related financial contributions of the U.S. government and the FCX subsidiaries. The related Consent Decree was approved by the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona in second-quarter 2017. Based on updated cash flow and timing estimates, FCX reduced its associated obligation for that contingency by recording a $41 million credit to operating income in second-quarter 2017 after receiving court approval.

Litigation

During ~~third-quarter 2016,~~second-quarter 2017, there were no significant updates to previously reported legal proceedings included in Note 12 of ~~FCX's~~FCX’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015, as recast in the Form 8-K filed on November 9,~~ 2016.

Tax and Other Matters

Cerro Verde Royalty Dispute

As reported in Note 12 of FCX’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015, as recast in the Form 8-K filed on November 9,~~ 2016, SUNAT, the Peru national tax authority, has assessed mining royalties on ore processed by the Cerro Verde concentrator, which commenced operations in late 2006, for the period December 2006 to December 2007, ~~and~~ the years 2008, 2009 and ~~2009. In April 2016, SUNAT issued assessments for the year~~ 2010, and the period January 2011 to September 2011. ~~Cerro Verde has contested the assessments, of which~~

~~Table of Contents~~

the aggregate amount covering the period December 2006 to September 2011 totals $430 million (based on the exchange rate as of September 30, 2016), including estimated accumulated interest and penalties. Additionally, in April 2016, Peru’s Twentieth Contentious Administrative Court, which specializes in taxation matters, rendered its decision upholding the Peru Tax Tribunal’s July 2013 decision affirming SUNAT’s assessments for the period December 2006 through December 2007. On May 2, 2016, Cerro Verde appealed this decision to Peru’s Twentieth Contentious Administrative Court.

SUNAT may make additional assessments for mining royalties and associated penalties and interest for the period from October 2011 through December 2013, which Cerro Verde will contest. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, FCX estimates the total exposure associated with these mining royalties for the period from December 2006 through December 2013 approximates ~~$537~~$582 million (based on the exchange rate as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016)~~2017), including estimated accumulated interest and penalties. No ~~amounts~~charges have been ~~accrued~~recorded for these assessments as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, because Cerro Verde believes its 1998 stability agreement exempts it from these royalties and believes any installment payments already made will be recoverable. On July 19, 2017, oral arguments related to the assessments for the year 2008 were presented to the Peruvian Supreme Court, and a decision is expected in the near future.

Other Peru Tax Matters

There were no significant changes to other Peru tax matters during ~~third-quarter 2016~~second-quarter 2017 (refer to Note 12 of FCX’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015, as recast in the Form 8-K filed on November 9, 2016, for further discussion of these matters)~~2016).

Indonesia Tax Matters

The following information includes a discussion of updates to previously reported Indonesia tax matters included in Note 12 of FCX’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015, as recast in the Form 8-K filed on November 9, 2016.~~

In December 2009, PT-FI was notified by Indonesian tax authorities that it was obligated to pay value-added taxes on certain goods imported after the year 2000. In December 2014, PT-FI paid $269 million for valued-added taxes for the period from November 2005 through the year 2009 and sought a refund. In March 2016, PT-FI collected a cash refund of $196 million and $38 million was offset against other tax liabilities. The remaining balance of the amount originally paid was reduced by currency exchange and other losses.

Required estimated income tax payments for 2014 significantly exceeded PT-FI’s 2014 reported income tax liability, which resulted in a $284 million overpayment. During second-quarter 2016, the Indonesian tax authorities issued tax assessments for 2014 of $156 million and agreed to refund $128 million associated with income tax overpayments made by PT-FI in 2014. PT-FI filed objections for $152 million of the tax assessments in third-quarter 2016.

PT-FI received assessments from the local regional tax authority in Papua, Indonesia, for additional taxes and penalties related to surface water taxes for the period from January 2011 through ~~August 2016.~~June 2017. PT-FI has filed or will file objections to these assessments. ~~The local government of Papua rejected PT-FI’s objections~~In January 2017, the Indonesia Tax Court issued a ruling against PT-FI with respect to ~~the~~ assessments ~~related to~~for additional taxes and penalties for the period from January 2011 through ~~April 2016, and PT-FI has filed or will file appeals with~~July 2015 in the ~~Indonesia Tax Court. The aggregate~~ amount of ~~all assessments received through September 30, 2016, including penalties, was 3.0 trillion Indonesian rupiah ($231~~$380 million ~~based~~(based on the exchange rate as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016)~~2017, and including $229 million in penalties). ~~Additional~~The aggregate amount of assessments received from August 2015 through June 2017 was an additional $126 million, including penalties ~~which could be significant, may be assessed depending~~(based on the ~~outcome~~exchange rate as of ~~the appeals process.~~June 30, 2017). No ~~amounts~~charges have been ~~accrued~~recorded for these assessments as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, because PT-FI believes its Contract of Work (COW) exempts it from these payments and that it has the right to contest these assessments (in which FCX estimates the total exposure based on the exchange rate as of June 30, 2017, totals $506 million, including penalties) in the Indonesia Tax Court and ultimately the Indonesia Supreme Court. As of August 4, 2017, PT-FI has not paid and does not intend to pay these

assessments unless there is a mechanism established to secure a refund for any such payments upon the final court decision.

In ~~August 2016, PT-FI's export permit was renewed through~~ January ~~11,~~and February 2017, ~~and~~ the Indonesian government issued new regulations to address the export of unrefined metals, including copper concentrate and anode slimes, and other matters related to the mining sector. The new regulations permit the continuation of copper concentrate exports for a five-year period through January 2022, subject to various conditions, including conversion from a contract of work to a special operating license (known as an IUPK, which does not provide the same level of fiscal and legal protections as PT-FI’s COW, which remains in effect), a commitment to the completion of smelter construction in five years and payment of export duties to be determined by the Ministry of Finance. In addition, the new regulations enable application for an extension of operating rights five years before expiration of the IUPK and require foreign IUPK holders to divest a 51 percent interest in the licensed entity to Indonesian interests no later than the tenth year of production. Export licenses would be valid for one-year periods, subject to review every six months, depending on smelter construction progress.

Following the issuance of the January and February 2017 regulations and discussions with the Indonesian government, PT-FI advised the government that it was prepared to convert its COW to an IUPK, subject to obtaining an investment stability agreement providing contractual rights with the same level of legal and fiscal certainty enumerated under its COW, and provided that the COW would remain in effect until it is replaced by a mutually satisfactory alternative. PT-FI also committed to commence construction of a new smelter during a five-year time frame, subject to approval of the extension of its long-term operating rights.

In mid-February 2017, pursuant to the COW’s dispute resolution process, PT-FI provided formal notice to the Indonesian government of an impending dispute listing the government's breaches and violations of the COW. PT-FI continues to ~~impose~~reserve its rights under these provisions.

As a result of the 2017 regulatory restrictions and uncertainties regarding long-term investment stability, PT-FI has taken actions to adjust its cost structure, slow investments in its underground development projects and new smelter, and place certain of its workforce on furlough programs.

In late March 2017, the Indonesian government amended the regulations to enable PT-FI to retain its COW until replaced with an IUPK accompanied by an investment stability agreement, and to grant PT-FI a temporary IUPK through October 10, 2017, that would allow concentrate exports to resume during this period. In April 2017, PT-FI entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Indonesian government confirming that the COW would continue to be valid and honored until replaced by a mutually agreed IUPK and investment stability agreement. PT-FI agreed to continue to pay a five percent export duty ~~while it reviews PT-FI's smelter development plans. Current regulations published by~~during this period.

~~Other.~~ During second-quarter 2016, FCX negotiated the termination and settlement of FM O&G's drilling rig contracts with Noble Drilling (U.S.) LLC (Noble) and Rowan Companies plc (Rowan). Under the settlement with Noble, FCX issued 48 million shares of its common stock (representing a value of $540 million) during second-quarter 2016, and Noble immediately sold these shares. Under the settlement with Rowan, FCX paid $85 million in cash during second-quarter 2016 and FCX paid the remaining $130 million during third-quarter 2016. FCX also agreed to provide contingent payments of up to $75 million to Noble and $30 million to Rowan, depending on the average price of crude oil over the 12-month period ending June 30, 2017. The fair value of these contingent payments totaled $18 million as of September 30, 2016 (refer to Note 8). As a result of the settlements, FM O&G was released from a total of $1.1 billion in payment obligations under its three drilling rig contracts.

NOTE 10. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

FCX has organized its ~~continuing~~ mining operations into four primary divisions – North America copper mines, South America mining, Indonesia mining and Molybdenum mines, and operating segments that meet certain thresholds are reportable segments. ~~For oil and gas operations, FCX determines its operating segments on a country-by-country basis.~~ Separately disclosed in the following ~~table~~tables are ~~FCX's~~FCX’s reportable segments, which include the Morenci, Cerro Verde and Grasberg (Indonesia Mining) copper mines, the Rod & Refining operations ~~the~~and Atlantic Copper Smelting & ~~Refining operation and~~Refining.

FCX’s reportable segments previously included U.S. Oil & Gas operations.

FCX's reportable segments previously included Africa mining, which consisted of the Tenke mine located in the DRC. As discussed in Note 2, FCX has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its interest in TFHL, and as a result, Tenke has been removed from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

~~On May 31,~~ During 2016, FCX completed the sales of its Deepwater Gulf of Mexico, onshore California and Haynesville oil and gas properties, and in first-quarter 2017, completed the sale of ~~an additional 13 percent undivided interest~~its Madden property interests. The results of FCX’s U.S. oil and gas operations no longer qualify as a reportable segment, and oil and gas results for all periods presented have been included in Corporate, Other & Eliminations in the ~~Morenci unincorporated joint venture. As a result, FCX's undivided interest in Morenci was prospectively reduced from 85 percent~~following tables. Refer to ~~72 percent.~~ Note 2 of FCX’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, for additional information.

Intersegment sales between FCX’s ~~mining operations~~business segments are based on terms similar to 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. ~~In addition, intersegment sales from Tenke to FCX's other consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated in discontinued operations (refer to Note 2).~~

FCX defers recognizing profits on sales from its mines to other divisions, including Atlantic Copper ~~(FCX's~~(FCX’s wholly owned smelter and refinery in Spain) and on 25 percent of ~~PT-FI's~~PT-FI’s sales to PT Smelting ~~(PT-FI's 25 percent-owned~~(PT-FI’s 25-percent-owned smelter and refinery in Indonesia), until final sales to third parties occur. Quarterly variations in ore grades, the timing of intercompany shipments and changes in product prices result in variability in ~~FCX's~~FCX’s net deferred profits and quarterly earnings.

FCX allocates certain operating costs, expenses and capital expenditures to its operating divisions and individual segments. However, not all costs and expenses applicable to an operation are allocated. U.S. federal and state income taxes are recorded and managed at the corporate level (included in Corporate, Other & Eliminations), whereas foreign income taxes are recorded and managed at the applicable country level. In addition, most mining exploration and research activities are managed on a consolidated basis, and those costs, along with some selling, general and administrative costs, are not allocated to the operating divisions or individual 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.

NOTE 12. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In ~~May 2015,~~March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an ASU that removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient. FCX adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2016, and the prior period disclosures have been restated to remove these investments from the levels within the fair value hierarchy (refer to Note 8).

In January 2016, FASB issued an ASU that amends the current guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. This ASU makes limited changes to existing guidance and amends certain disclosure requirements. For public entities, this ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted, except for the provision on recording fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option. FCX is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its financial reporting and disclosures, but at this time does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued an ASU that will require lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. This ASU allows lessees to make an accounting policy election to not recognize a lease asset and liability for leases with a term of 12 months or less and do not have a purchase option that is expected to be exercised. For public entities, this ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. This ASU must be applied using the modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. FCX is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statements.

~~In March 2016, FASB issued an ASU~~Accounting Standards Update (ASU) that simplifies various aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, statutory tax withholding requirements, an accounting policy election for forfeitures and the classification on the statement of cash flows. For public entities, this ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Each of the amendments in this ASU provides specific transition requirements. FCX ~~expects to adopt~~adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2017, and ~~does~~adoption did not ~~expect adoption to~~ have a material impact on its financial statements.

In ~~June 2016,~~March 2017, FASB issued an ASU that changes how entities with a defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans present net periodic benefit cost in the ~~impairment model~~income statement. This ASU requires the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost to be presented in the same income statement line item or items as other compensation costs for ~~most financial assets~~those employees who are receiving the retirement benefit. In addition, only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization when applicable (i.e., as a cost of inventory or an internally constructed asset). The other components of net periodic benefit cost are required to be presented separately from the service cost component and ~~certain~~outside of operating income. These other ~~instruments,~~components of net periodic benefit cost are not eligible for capitalization, and ~~will also require expanded disclosures.~~the income statement line item or items must be disclosed. For public entities, this ASU is effective for ~~interim and~~ annual ~~reporting~~ periods beginning after December 15, ~~2019, with early~~2017, and interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. ~~The provisions~~FCX expects to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018, and does not expect it to have a material impact on its presentation of the ~~ASU must be applied as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as~~statements of ~~the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. FCX is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its financial statements.~~operations.

NOTE 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On ~~October 14, 2016,~~July 31, 2017, FM O&G ~~entered into~~sold certain property interests in the Gulf of Mexico Shelf for cash consideration of $62 million, before closing adjustments.

FCX evaluated events after ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~,2017, 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.

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF

FREEPORT-McMoRan INC.

We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three- and ~~nine-month~~six-month periods ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015,~~2016, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the ~~nine-month~~six-month periods ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015,~~2016, and the consolidated statement of equity for the ~~nine-month~~six-month period ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~.2017. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. as of December 31, ~~2015~~,2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive ~~(loss) income,~~loss, cash flows and equity for the year then ended (not presented herein) and we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements in our report dated February ~~26, 2016, except for Note 2, as to which the date is November 9, 2016.~~24, 2017. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. as of December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

OVERVIEW

We are a ~~premier U.S.-based natural resources~~leading international mining company with ~~an industry-leading global portfolio~~headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. We operate large, long-lived, geographically diverse assets with significant proven and probable reserves of ~~mineral assets.~~copper, gold and molybdenum. We are the ~~world's~~world’s largest publicly traded copper producer. Our portfolio of assets includes the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia, one of the ~~world's~~world’s largest copper and gold ~~deposits,~~deposits; and significant mining operations in the Americas, including the large-scale Morenci minerals district in North America and the Cerro Verde operation in South America.

Net income (loss) attributable to common stock totaled ~~$217~~$268 million in ~~third-quarter~~second-quarter 2017, $(479) million in second-quarter 2016, $496 million for the first six months of 2017 and ~~$(4.4)~~$(4.7) billion for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2016, compared with $(3.8) billion in third-quarter 2015 and $(8.2) billion for the first nine months of 2015.~~2016. The ~~third quarter and first nine months of 2016,~~2017 periods, compared with the ~~2015~~2016 periods, benefited from higher copper prices and higher gold sales volumes, partly offset by lower copper sales volumes. The 2016 periods also included higher charges at our oil and gas operations primarily for the impairment of oil and gas properties, drillship settlements, inventory adjustments, asset impairment and ~~higher copper sales volumes,~~restructuring charges, partly offset by ~~lower copper price realizations. The first nine months of 2016 also reflected~~a net ~~gains~~gain on sales of ~~assets, mostly offset by net charges associated with the termination and settlements of drilling rig contracts.~~mining assets. Refer to “Consolidated Results” for further discussion.

At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, we had ~~$1.1~~$4.7 billion in consolidated cash and cash equivalents and ~~$19.0~~$15.4 billion in total debt. We had no borrowings and $3.5 billion available under our ~~$3.5 billion~~ revolving credit facility. Refer to Note 6 for further discussion of debt.

We ~~are taking actions~~continue to strengthen our balance sheet through a combination of asset sale transactions, cash flow from operations and capital market transactions. During 2016, we have announced $6.6 billion in asset sale transactions and have received aggregate cash consideration of $1.4 billion. The remaining $5.2 billion in gross proceeds associated with the pending sale of our interest in TFHL and the sales of our Deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and onshore California oil and gas properties is expected to be received in fourth-quarter 2016. As further discussed in Note 2, we have entered into agreements to sell (i) our Deepwater GOM properties for cash consideration of $2.0 billion (before closing adjustments) and up to $150 million in contingent payments, (ii) our onshore California oil and gas properties for cash consideration of $592 million (before closing adjustments) and up to $150 million of contingent consideration and (iii) our interest in TFHL for $2.65 billion and contingent consideration of up to $120 million. In connection with the sale of the Deepwater GOM properties, Freeport McMoRan Oil & Gas LLC (FM O&G) entered into an agreement to amend the terms of the Plains Offshore Operations Inc. (Plains Offshore) preferred stock to provide FM O&G the option to call these securities for $582 million, which FM O&G expects to exercise at the time the Deepwater GOM sale closes.

In July 2016, we commenced a registered at-the-market offering of up to $1.5 billion of common stock. Through November 8, 2016, we have sold 59.8 million shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $719 million ($12.02 per share average price). Additionally, through August 4, 2016, FCX redeemed $369 million in senior notes (including $101 million in third-quarter 2016) for 28 million shares of its common stock in a series of privately negotiated transactions. Refer to Note 6 for further discussion.

During second-quarter 2016, we terminated contracts for FM O&G's deepwater drillships, and settled aggregate commitments totaling $1.1 billion for $755 million, of which $540 million was funded with shares of our common stock. We also agreed to provide contingent payments of up to $105 million, depending on the average price of crude oil over the 12-month period ending June 30, 2017. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion.

We are pursuing opportunities to ~~create additional value through mine designs that would increase copper reserves, reduce costs and provide opportunities to~~ enhance our mines’ net present values, and we continue to advance studies for future development of our copper resources, the timing of which will be dependent on market conditions.

In late March 2017, the Indonesian government amended the regulations to enable PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI) to retain its Contract of Work (COW) until replaced with a special operating license (known as an IUPK) accompanied by an investment stability agreement, and to grant PT-FI a temporary IUPK through October 10, 2017, that would allow concentrate exports to resume during this period. PT-FI and the Indonesian government are in active negotiations and working cooperatively with the objective of reaching a mutually acceptable long-term resolution during 2017 to secure PT-FI's long-term investments for the benefit of all stakeholders. Refer to “Operations – Indonesia Mining” for further discussion.

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 vary as a result of fluctuations in market prices primarily for copper, gold ~~molybdenum~~ and ~~oil,~~molybdenum, as well as other factors. World market prices for these commodities have historically fluctuated ~~historically~~ and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control. Because we

Table of Contents

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, ~~for our mining operations, cash production costs per barrel of oil equivalents (BOE) for our oil and gas operations,~~ operating cash flow and capital expenditures.

Projections for 2017 and other forward-looking statements ~~included~~ in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q assume aachievement of planned operating rates at PT-FI during the second half of 2017, and the resolution or completion of negotiations with ~~respect~~the Indonesian government on the conversion of PT-FI’s COW to ~~Indonesian regulations prohibiting exports of concentrate and anode slimes after January 12, 2017 (refer~~an IUPK accompanied by an investment stability agreement by October 10, 2017. Refer to ~~"Operations~~“Operations – Indonesia ~~Mining"~~Mining” for further ~~discussion).~~discussion of Indonesia regulatory matters, which may have a significant impact on future results.

Sales Volumes

Following are our projected consolidated sales volumes for the year ~~2016~~:2017:



Copper (millions of recoverable pounds):
North America copper mines	~~1,825~~1,460
South America mining	~~1,325~~1,230
Indonesia mining	~~1,170~~
~~Consolidated~~ ~~- continuing operations~~	~~4,320~~
~~Discontinued operations~~ ~~- Africa mining~~	~~485~~1,020
Total	~~4,805~~3,710

Gold (thousands of recoverable ounces)	~~1,264~~1,600
Molybdenum (millions of recoverable pounds)	7393	^a
~~Oil Equivalents~~ ~~(million BOE or MMBOE)~~	~~48.1~~


a.	Projected molybdenum sales include 2335 million pounds produced by our Molybdenum mines and 5058 million pounds produced by our North America and South America copper mines.

Consolidated sales volumes for ~~fourth-quarter~~ ~~2016~~ ~~(excluding 120~~third-quarter 2017 are expected to approximate 940 million pounds of copper, ~~for Tenke) are expected to approximate 1.2 billion pounds of copper,~~ ~~590~~375 thousand ounces of gold 21and 22 million pounds of ~~molybdenum and 11.5 MMBOE.~~ molybdenum.

Projected sales volumes are dependent on ~~a number of factors, including~~ operational performance ~~shipping schedules~~ and ~~the completion of pending asset sale transactions.~~other factors. For other important factors that could cause results to differ materially from projections, refer to ~~"Cautionary Statement" and Part II, Item IA. "Risk Factors."~~“Cautionary Statement.”

~~Mining~~ Unit Net Cash Costs

Assuming average prices of ~~$1,250~~$1,250 per ounce of gold and $7$7.50 per pound of molybdenum for ~~fourth-quarter~~ ~~2016~~the second half of 2017 and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our copper mines ~~(both including and excluding Tenke)~~ are expected to average ~~$1.20~~$1.19 per pound of copper for the year ~~2016~~.2017. The impact of price changes for ~~fourth-quarter 2016~~the second half of 2017 on consolidated unit net cash costs would approximate ~~$0.0075~~$0.015 per pound for each $50 per ounce change in the average price of gold and ~~$0.004~~$0.01 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum. Quarterly unit net cash costs vary with fluctuations in sales volumes and realized prices primarily for gold and molybdenum. Refer to “Consolidated Results

~~Table of Contents~~

– Production and Delivery Costs” for further discussion of consolidated production ~~and delivery~~ costs for our mining operations.

~~Oil and Gas Cash Production Costs per BOE~~

~~Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, cash production costs for our oil and gas operations are expected to approximate~~ ~~$16.00~~ ~~per BOE for the year~~ ~~2016. Refer to “Operations – Oil and Gas” for further discussion of oil and gas production costs.~~

Consolidated Operating Cash Flow

Our consolidated operating cash flows vary with sales volumes, prices realized from copper, gold ~~molybdenum~~ and ~~oil~~molybdenum sales, production costs, income taxes, other working capital changes and other factors. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming average prices of ~~$2.10~~$2.65 per pound of copper, ~~$1,250~~$1,250 per ounce of gold $7and $7.50 per pound of molybdenum ~~and $51 per barrel~~for the second half of ~~Brent crude oil for fourth-quarter 2016,~~2017, consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate ~~$3.6~~$3.8 billion for the year ~~2016~~2017 (including ~~$0.3~~$0.6 billion in working capital sources and ~~other~~changes in tax payments). Projected consolidated operating cash flows for the year ~~2016~~2017 also reflect an estimated income tax provision of ~~$0.5~~$1.1 billion ~~primarily associated with income from our international mining operations~~ (refer to ~~"Consolidated~~“Consolidated Results -– Income ~~Taxes"~~Taxes” for further discussion of our projected income tax rate for the year ~~2016)~~2017). The impact of price changes during ~~fourth-quarter 2016~~the second half of 2017 on operating cash flows would approximate ~~$150~~$180 million for each ~~$0.10~~$0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, ~~$20~~$40 million for each ~~$50~~$50 per ounce change in the average price of gold ~~$15~~and $40 million for each $2 per pound change in the average price of ~~molybdenum and $28 million for each $5 per barrel change in the average price of Brent crude oil.~~molybdenum.

Consolidated Capital Expenditures

Consolidated capital expenditures are expected to approximate ~~$2.8~~$1.6 billion for the year ~~2016, consisting of $1.6 billion for mining operations (including $1.2~~2017, including $0.9 billion for major mining projects primarily ~~for the~~associated with underground development activities at Grasberg. As a result of regulatory uncertainty, PT-FI has slowed investments in its underground ~~mines by PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI) and for the Cerro Verde expansion, which was completed earlier in the year) and $1.2 billion for oil and gas operations.~~development projects. If PT-FI is unable to

reach an agreement with the Indonesian government on its long-term mining rights, we intend to reduce or defer investments significantly in underground development projects and pursue arbitration under PT-FI’s COW.

MARKETS

~~Metals~~

World prices for copper, gold and molybdenum can fluctuate significantly. During the period from January ~~2006~~2007 through ~~October 2016,~~June 2017, the London Metal Exchange (LME) spot copper price varied from a low of ~~$1.26~~$1.26 per pound in 2008 to a record high of ~~$4.60~~$4.60 per pound in 2011; the London Bullion Market Association (London) PM gold price fluctuated from a low of ~~$525~~$608 per ounce in ~~2006~~2007 to a record high of ~~$1,895~~$1,895 per ounce in 2011; and the Metals Week Molybdenum Dealer Oxide weekly average price ranged from a low of ~~$4.46~~$4.46 per pound in 2015 to a high of ~~$33.88~~$33.88 per pound in 2008. Copper, gold and molybdenum prices are affected by numerous factors beyond our control as described further in “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A. of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015~~2016..

This graph presents LME spot copper prices and the combined reported stocks of copper at the LME, Commodity Exchange Inc. (COMEX), a division of the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), and the Shanghai Futures Exchange from January ~~2006~~2007 through ~~October 2016. Since~~June 2017. Beginning in mid-2014, copper prices ~~have~~ declined because of concerns about slowing growth rates in China, a stronger U.S. dollar and a broad-based decline in commodity ~~prices.~~prices, but began to improve in fourth-quarter 2016. During ~~third-quarter 2016,~~second-quarter 2017, LME spot copper prices ranged from a low of ~~$2.07~~$2.48 per pound to a high of ~~$2.25~~$2.68 per pound, averaged ~~$2.16~~$2.57 per pound, and closed at ~~$2.19~~$2.68 per pound on ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~.2017. The LME spot copper price was ~~$2.19~~$2.88 per pound on ~~October~~July 31, ~~2016.~~2017.

We believe the underlying long-term fundamentals of the copper business remain positive, supported by the significant role of copper in the global economy and a challenging long-term supply environment attributable to difficulty in replacing the output of existing large mines with new production sources. Future copper prices are expected to be volatile and are likely to be influenced by demand from China and emerging markets, as well as economic activity in the U.S. and other industrialized countries, the timing of the development of new supplies of copper and the production levels of mines and copper smelters.

~~Mining Operations~~

Sales Volumes.Consolidated copper sales ~~increased~~decreased to ~~1.1 billion~~942 million pounds in ~~third-quarter~~second-quarter 2017, compared with 987 million pounds in second-quarter 2016, primarily reflecting anticipated lower ore grades in North America and ~~3.1~~lower leach production and recoveries in South America, partly offset by higher volumes from Indonesia associated with higher ore grades and the sale of concentrate in inventory produced in first-quarter 2017. Consolidated copper sales decreased to 1.75 billion pounds for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2016~~,2017, compared with ~~888 million pounds in third-quarter 2015 and 2.6~~2.0 billion pounds for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2015,~~2016, primarily reflecting ~~higher volumes from Cerro Verde~~lower ore grades in North America and ~~PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI).~~the impact of the May 2016 sale of an additional 13 percent interest in Morenci.

Consolidated gold sales volumes ~~totaled 317~~increased to 432 thousand ounces in ~~third-quarter 2016, 294 thousand ounces in third-quarter 2015, 674~~second-quarter 2017 and 614 thousand ounces for the first ~~nine~~six months of 2017, compared with 156 thousand ounces in second-quarter 2016 and ~~909~~357 thousand ounces for the first ~~nine months of 2015. Lower gold sales volumes in the first nine~~six months of 2016, ~~compared with the 2015 period,~~ primarily ~~reflects lower~~reflecting higher ore grades ~~at PT-FI.~~in Indonesia. Second-quarter 2017 also included the sale of concentrate in inventory produced in first-quarter 2017.

Consolidated molybdenum sales volumes ~~decreased~~increased to 1625 million pounds in ~~third-quarter 2016~~second-quarter 2017 and 5249 million pounds for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2016~~,2017, compared with 2319 million pounds in ~~third-quarter 2015~~second-quarter 2016 and 6936 million pounds for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2015,~~2016, primarily reflecting ~~weak demand.~~higher demand and higher molybdenum production.

Refer to “Operations” for further discussion of sales volumes at our mining operations.

Oil and gas sales volumes of 1.2 MMBOE in second-quarter 2017 and 2.8 MMBOE for the first six months of 2017, were lower than oil and gas sales volumes of 12.4 MMBOE in second-quarter 2016 and 24.5 MMBOE for the first six months of 2016, primarily reflecting the sales of significant oil and gas properties in 2016.

~~Metals~~ Realized Prices.Our consolidated revenues can vary significantly as a result of fluctuations in the market prices of copper, gold and ~~molybdenum, and to a lesser extent silver. Third-quarter 2016~~molybdenum. Second-quarter 2017 average realized prices, compared with ~~third-quarter 2015,~~second-quarter 2016, were 821 percent higher for copper, 4 percent lower for ~~copper, 19~~gold and 15 percent higher for ~~gold~~molybdenum, and ~~16 percent higher for molybdenum. Average~~average realized prices for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2016~~,2017, compared with the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2015,~~2016, were 1522 percent higher for copper, 1 percent lower for ~~copper, 12~~gold and 15 percent higher ~~for gold and 9 percent lower~~ for molybdenum. Refer to ~~"Markets"~~“Markets” for further discussion.

Provisionally Priced Copper Sales.~~Impacts of net adjustments for prior period provisionally priced sales primarily relate to copper sales.~~ 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

~~Table of Contents~~

each period, using the period-end forward prices, until final pricing on the date of settlement.

Table of Contents

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. (Unfavorable) favorable impacts of net adjustments to prior ~~periods'~~periods’ provisionally priced copper sales from continuing operations totaled ~~$(15)~~$(20) million in second-quarter 2017 and $81 million for ~~third-quarter~~the first six months of 2017, compared with $(28) million in second-quarter 2016 and $5 million for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2016, compared with $(117) million for third-quarter 2015 and $(100) million for the first nine months of 2015.~~2016.

At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~,2017, we had provisionally priced copper sales at our copper mining operations ~~(excluding Tenke)~~ totaling ~~521~~344 million pounds of copper (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average of ~~$2.20~~$2.69 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. We estimate that each $0.05 change in the price realized from the ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~,2017, provisional price recorded would have an approximate ~~$17~~$11 million effect on ~~2016~~our 2017 net ~~loss~~income attributable to common stock. The LME spot copper price was ~~$2.19~~$2.88 per pound on ~~October~~July 31, ~~2016.~~2017.

Treatment Charges. Revenues from our ~~South America and Indonesia~~ concentrate sales are recorded net of treatment charges. ~~Higher~~Lower treatment charges ~~for~~in the ~~2016~~2017 periods, compared with the ~~2015~~2016 periods, primarily reflect ~~higher~~lower sales volumes ~~from our Cerro Verde~~at North America and ~~PT-FI mining operations.~~South America copper mines.

Purchased Copper.We purchase copper cathode primarily for processing by our Rod & Refining operations. ~~Purchased~~In addition to higher copper prices, we had higher purchased copper volumes ~~of 61~~in the 2017 periods (62 million pounds in ~~third-quarter~~second-quarter 2017 and 120 million for the first six months of 2017, compared with 43 million pounds in second-quarter 2016 and ~~131~~70 million pounds for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2016~~ ~~were higher than purchased volumes of 28 million pounds in third-quarter 2015 and 92 million pounds for the first nine months of 2015.~~2016).

Atlantic Copper Revenues.Atlantic Copper revenues totaled ~~$445~~$400 million in ~~third-quarter 2016, $439~~second-quarter 2017 and $858 million in ~~third-quarter2015, $1.4 billion~~ for the first ~~nine~~six months of 2017, compared with $495 million in second-quarter 2016 and ~~$1.5 billion~~$918 million for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2015. Revenues for~~2016. Lower revenues in the ~~2016~~2017 periods, compared with the ~~2015~~2016 periods, reflect lower ~~copper prices and higher sales volumes.~~

~~Oil and Gas Operations~~

~~Oil Sales Volumes.~~ ~~Oil~~ sales volumes ~~of 9.1 million barrels (MMBbls)~~mostly associated with a 21-day maintenance turnaround in ~~third-quarter 2016 and 26.1 MMBbls for the first nine months of~~ ~~2016~~ ~~were lower than oil sales volumes of 9.3 MMBbls in third-quarter 2015 and 26.3 MMBbls for the first nine months of 2015, primarily reflecting lower volumes from California.~~

~~Realized Oil Prices Excluding Derivative Contracts.~~ ~~The average realized price for oil of $40.63 per barrel in~~ ~~third-quarter2016~~ ~~was 9 percent lower than our average realized price of $44.85 per barrel in third-quarter~~ ~~2015~~ ~~(excluding cash gains on derivative contracts). Our average realized price for oil of $37.11 per barrel for the first nine months of~~ ~~2016~~ ~~was 23 percent lower than our average realized price of~~ ~~$48.34~~ ~~per barrel for the first nine months of 2015 (excluding cash gains on derivative contracts).~~

~~Crude Oil Derivative Contracts.~~ During 2015, we had crude oil derivative contracts that were not designated as hedging instruments; accordingly, they were recorded at fair value with the mark-to-market gains and losses recorded in revenues each period. Net mark-to-market gains on crude oil derivative contracts totaled $29 million (consisting of cash gains of $103 million,second-quarter 2017, partly offset by net noncash mark-to-market losses of $74 million) in third-quarter 2015 and $87 million (consisting of cash gains of $304 million, partly offset by net noncash mark-to-market losses of $217 million) for the first nine months of 2015.higher copper prices.

Production and Delivery Costs

Consolidated production and delivery costs totaled ~~$2.5 billion~~ in ~~third-quarter2016, $2.6~~$2.5 billion in ~~third-quarter2015, $8.0~~second-quarter 2017, $3.0 billion in second-quarter 2016, $4.7 billion for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2016~~2017 and ~~$7.9~~$5.5 billion for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2015.~~2016. Production and delivery costs ~~for mining operations~~ were ~~$603 million~~ lower for the second quarter and first ~~nine~~six months of 2017, compared to the 2016 ~~compared with the first nine months of 2015,~~periods, primarily reflecting ~~the impact of cost reduction initiatives. Production and delivery~~lower costs ~~for our U.S.~~at oil and gas operations ~~were $670~~associated with drillship settlements, inventory adjustments and asset impairment charges (which totaled a net credit of $6 million ~~higher for the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015, primarily reflecting higher charges for drillship settlements/idle rig costs, which totaled $823~~in second-quarter 2017 and $26 million for the first ~~nine~~six months of 2017, compared with net charges of $692 million in second-quarter 2016 and ~~$13~~$892 million for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2015,~~2016), partly offset by higher costs at Indonesia mining related to net charges at PT-FI associated with workforce reductions ($82 million in second-quarter 2017 and $103 million for the ~~impact~~first six months of ~~cost reduction efforts.~~

OPERATIONS

North America Copper Mines

We operate seven open-pit copper mines in North America – Morenci, Bagdad, Safford, Sierrita and Miami in Arizona, and Chino and Tyrone in New Mexico. All of the North America mining operations are wholly owned, except for Morenci.

We record our undivided joint venture interest in Morenci using the proportionate consolidation method. On May 31, 2016, we completed the sale of an additional 13 percent undivided interest in ~~Morenci for $1.0 billion in cash.~~Morenci. As a result of the transaction, our undivided interest in Morenci was prospectively reduced from 85 percent to 72 percent. ~~Refer to Note 2 for further discussion.~~

The North America copper mines include open-pit mining, sulfide ore concentrating, leaching and solution extraction/electrowinning (SX/EW) operations. A majority of the copper produced at our North America copper

mines is cast into copper rod by our Rod & Refining segment. The remainder of our North America copper sales is in the form of copper cathode or copper concentrate, a portion of which is shipped to Atlantic ~~Copper.~~Copper (our wholly owned smelter). Molybdenum concentrate, gold and silver are also produced by certain of our North America copper mines.

Operating and Development Activities. We have significant undeveloped reserves and resources in North America and a portfolio of potential long-term development projects. ~~In the near term, we are deferring development of new projects as a result of current market conditions.~~ Future investments will be undertaken based on the results of economic and technical feasibility studies, and are dependent on market conditions. We continue to study opportunities to reduce the capital intensity of our long-term development projects.

~~During 2015,~~Through exploration drilling, we ~~revised plans for our North America copper mines to incorporate reductions in mining rates to reduce operating and capital costs. In addition, we curtailed operations~~have identified a significant resource at the ~~Miami~~Lone Star project located near the Safford operation in eastern Arizona. Initial production from the Lone Star oxide ores could begin in 2021 using existing infrastructure to replace oxide production from Safford. We are seeking regulatory approvals for this project and Tyrone mines, and we are operating our Sierrita mine at reduced rates. The revised plans at each of the operations incorporate the impacts of lower energy, acid and other consumables, reduced labor costs and a significant reduction in capital spending plans. These operating plans will continue to ~~be reviewed and additional adjustments will be made as market conditions warrant.~~

South America Mining

We operate two copper mines in South America – Cerro Verde in Peru (in which we own a 53.56 percent interest) and El Abra in Chile (in which we own a 51 percent interest)~~, which~~. These operations are consolidated in our financial statements.

South America mining includes open-pit mining, sulfide ore concentrating, leaching and SX/EW operations. Production from our South America mines is sold as copper concentrate or cathode under long-term contracts. Our South America mines also ~~ship~~sell a portion of their copper concentrate ~~inventories~~production to Atlantic Copper. In addition to copper, the Cerro Verde mine produces molybdenum concentrate and silver.

Operating and Development Activities. The Cerro Verde expansion project commenced operations in September 2015 and achieved capacity operating rates during first-quarter 2016. Cerro ~~Verde's~~Verde’s expanded operations benefit from its large-scale, long-lived reserves and cost efficiencies. The project expanded the concentrator facilities from 120,000 metric tons of ore per day to 360,000 metric tons of ore per ~~day and is on track to provide incremental annual production of approximately 600 million pounds of copper and 15 million pounds of molybdenum.~~day.

~~During~~In the second half of 2015, we ~~revised operating plans for~~adjusted operations at our ~~South America mines, principally to reflect adjustments to our mine plan at~~ El Abra mine to reduce mining and stacking rates by approximately 50 percent to achieve lower operating and labor costs, defer capital expenditures and extend the life of the existing operations. El Abra continues to operate at reduced rates.

We continue to evaluate a potential large-scale milling operation at El Abra to process additional sulfide material and to achieve higher recoveries. Exploration results ~~in recent years~~ at El Abra indicate a significant sulfide resource, which could potentially support a major mill project. Future investments will depend on technical studies, economic factors and ~~global copper~~ market conditions.

Indonesia Mining

Indonesia mining includes PT-FI’s Grasberg minerals district, one of the ~~world's~~world’s largest copper and gold deposits, in Papua, Indonesia. We own 90.64 percent of PT-FI, including 9.36 percent owned through our wholly owned subsidiary, PT Indocopper Investama.

PT-FI proportionately consolidates an unincorporated joint venture with Rio Tinto plc (Rio Tinto), under which Rio Tinto has a 40 percent interest in certain assets and a 40 percent interest through ~~2021~~2022 in production exceeding specified annual amounts of copper, gold and silver. Refer to Note 3 in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, for discussion of our joint venture with Rio Tinto.

PT-FI produces copper concentrate that contains significant quantities of gold and silver. Substantially all of PT-FI’s copper concentrate is sold under long-term contracts, and during the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2016,~~2017, approximately half of ~~PT-FI's~~PT-FI’s concentrate production was sold to PT Smelting, its 25-percent-owned smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia.

Regulatory Matters. ~~PT-FI continues to engage with~~In January and February 2017, the Indonesian government ~~officials regarding its long-term~~issued new regulations to address the export of unrefined metals, including copper concentrate and anode slimes, and other matters related to the mining sector. The new regulations permit the continuation of copper concentrate exports for a five-year period through January 2022, subject to various conditions, including conversion from a contract of work to a special operating license (known as an IUPK, which does not provide the same level of fiscal and legal protections as PT-FI’s COW, which remains in effect), a commitment to the completion of smelter construction in five years and payment of export duties to be determined by the Ministry of Finance. In addition, the new regulations enable application for an extension of operating rights ~~under its Contract~~five years before expiration of ~~Work (COW),~~the IUPK and ~~its rights~~require foreign IUPK holders to ~~export concentrate without restriction.~~divest a 51 percent interest in the licensed entity to Indonesian interests no later than the tenth year of production. Export licenses would be valid for one-year periods, subject to review every six months, depending on smelter construction progress.

~~In July 2014, PT-FI~~Following the issuance of the January and February 2017 regulations and discussions with the Indonesian government, ~~entered into a Memorandum of Understanding, in which~~PT-FI advised the government that it was prepared to convert its COW to an IUPK, subject to ~~concluding~~obtaining an investment stability agreement to extend PT-FI's operations beyond 2021 on acceptable terms, PT-FI agreed to construct new smelter capacity in Indonesia and to divest an additional 20.64 percent interest in PT-FI at fair market value. PT-FI also agreed to pay higher royalties and to pay export duties until certain smelter development milestones were met.

In October 2015, the Indonesian government provided a letter of assurance to PT-FI indicating that it would revise regulations allowing it to approve the extension of operations beyond 2021, and provide the sameproviding contractual rights ~~and~~with the same level of legal and fiscal certainty ~~provided~~enumerated under its ~~current COW.~~COW, and provided that the COW would remain in effect until it is replaced by a mutually satisfactory alternative. PT-FI also committed to commence construction of a new smelter during a five-year time frame, subject to approval of the extension of its long-term operating rights.

In ~~August 2016, PT-FI's export permit was renewed through January 11, 2017. Current regulations published by~~mid-February 2017, pursuant to the COW’s dispute resolution process, PT-FI provided formal notice to the Indonesian government ~~prohibit exports~~ of ~~copper concentrate~~an impending dispute listing the government's breaches and ~~anode slimes after January 12, 2017.~~violations of the COW. PT-FI continues to reserve its rights under these provisions.

As a result of the 2017 regulatory restrictions and uncertainties regarding long-term investment stability, PT-FI

has taken actions to adjust its cost structure, slow investments in its underground development projects and new

smelter, and place certain of its workforce on furlough programs.

In late March 2017, the Indonesian government ~~officials have indicated~~amended the regulations to enable PT-FI to retain its COW until replaced with an ~~intent~~IUPK accompanied by an investment stability agreement, and to ~~revise~~grant PT-FI a temporary IUPK through October 10, 2017, that would allow concentrate exports to resume during this ~~regulation to protect employment and government revenues. The nature~~period. In April 2017, PT-FI entered into a Memorandum of ~~any potential revisions of~~Understanding with the ~~regulation is currently uncertain. PT-FI is actively engaged with~~ Indonesian government ~~officials~~confirming that the COW would continue to be valid and honored until replaced by a mutually agreed IUPK and investment stability agreement. PT-FI agreed to continue to pay a five percent export duty during this period.

On April 21, 2017, the Indonesian government issued a permit to PT-FI that allows exports to resume for a six-month period, and PT-FI commenced export shipments.

PT-FI and the Indonesian government are engaged in active negotiations on ~~this matter.~~the conversion of PT-FI's COW to an IUPK accompanied by an investment stability agreement with the objective of providing a mutually acceptable long-term investment framework. The parties are also discussing requirements for the construction of a new smelter and the government's request for divestment.

PT-FI and the Indonesian government are working cooperatively with the objective of reaching a mutually acceptable long-term resolution during 2017 to secure PT-FI's long-term investments for the benefit of all stakeholders.

We cannot predict whether PT-FI will be successful in reaching a satisfactory agreement on the terms of its long-term mining rights.

Operating and Development Activities. PT-FI is currently mining the final phase of the Grasberg open pit, which contains high copper and gold ore grades. PT-FI expects to mine high-grade ore over the next several quarters prior to transitioning to the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine in ~~the first half of 2018.~~early 2019.

PT-FI has several projects ~~in progress~~ in the Grasberg minerals district related to the development of its large-scale, long-lived, high-grade underground ore bodies. In aggregate, these underground ore bodies are expected to produce large-scale quantities of copper and gold following the transition from the Grasberg open pit. ~~From 2017~~As a result of regulatory uncertainty, PT-FI has slowed investments in its underground development projects in 2017. Assuming an agreement is reached to ~~2020,~~support PT-FI’s long-term investment plans, estimated ~~aggregate~~annual capital spending on these projects ~~is currently expected to~~would average $1.0 billion per year ($0.8 billion per year net to PT-FI). over the next five years. Considering the long-term nature and size of these projects, actual costs could vary from these estimates. In response to market conditions and Indonesian regulatory uncertainty, ~~the~~ timing of these expenditures continues to be reviewed.

~~Table of Contents~~

If PT-FI is unable to reach an agreement with the Indonesian government on its long-term mining rights, we intend to reduce or defer investments significantly in our underground development projects and pursue arbitration under PT-FI’s COW.

The following provides additional information on the continued development of the Common Infrastructure project, the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine and the Deep Mill Level Zone (DMLZ) ore body that lies below the Deep Ore Zone (DOZ) underground mine. Our current plans and mineral reserves in Indonesia assume that ~~PT-FI will be able to continue to export copper concentrate directly and through PT Smelting after January 12, 2017, and that PT-FI's COW~~PT-FI’s long-term mining rights will be extended ~~beyond 2021.~~through 2041, as stated in the COW.

Common Infrastructure and Grasberg Block Cave Mine. In 2004, PT-FI 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-FI to conduct future exploration in prospective areas associated with currently identified ore bodies. The tunnel system was completed to the Big Gossan terminal, and the Big Gossan mine was brought into production in 2010. ~~Production from the~~The Big Gossan underground mine ~~which~~ is currently ~~suspended, is expected to restart in the first half of 2017 and ramp up to 7,000 metric tons of ore per day in 2022.~~on care-and-maintenance. Development of the DMLZ and Grasberg Block Cave underground mines is advancing using the Common Infrastructure project tunnels as access.

The Grasberg Block Cave underground mine accounts for ~~more than 45 percent~~approximately half of our recoverable proven and probable reserves in Indonesia. Production atfrom the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine is expected to commence in ~~2018,~~early 2019, following the end of mining of the Grasberg open pit. Targeted production rates once the Grasberg Block Cave mining operation reaches full capacity are expected to approximate ~~160,000~~130,000-160,000 metric tons of ore per day. ~~As a result of current market conditions,~~ PT-FI is reviewing its operating plans to determine the optimum mine plan for the Grasberg Block Cave.

Aggregate mine development capital for the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine and associated Common Infrastructure is expected to approximate ~~$6.0~~$6.3 billion (incurred between 2008 and 2022), with PT-FI’s share totaling approximately ~~$5.5~~$5.8 billion. Aggregate project costs totaling ~~$2.6~~$3.1 billion have been incurred through June 30, 2017, including $121 million during ~~September 30, 2016~~second-quarter (~~$416 million~~ ~~during~~2017.

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.

Beginning in mid-April 2017, PT-FI experienced a high level of worker absenteeism, which has unfavorably impacted mining and milling rates. During May 2017, a significant number of employees and contractors participated in an illegal strike and did not respond to PT-FI's multiple summons to return to work. As a result, these workers were deemed to have voluntarily resigned pursuant to Indonesian laws and regulations. During second-

~~Indonesia's~~quarter 2017, PT-FI took steps to mitigate the impacts of worker absenteeism, including producing from available mine and mill stockpiles and selling concentrate in inventory produced in first-quarter 2017. PT-FI is also taking steps to increase its workforce in order to restore normal operating rates.

PT-FI is also evaluating opportunities to mine a section of high-grade ore from the Grasberg open pit in 2018 and 2019 currently planned to be mined in future periods from the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine. These plans are expected to be evaluated through the remainder of 2017.

Indonesia mining’s consolidated ~~copper~~ sales volumes of ~~332~~247 million pounds of copper in ~~third-quarter 2016 and 702 million pounds for the first nine months of 2016,~~second-quarter 2017 were higher than sales of ~~198~~196 million pounds of copper in ~~third-quarter 2015~~second-quarter 2016, primarily reflecting the sale of concentrate in inventory and ~~549~~higher ore grades, partly offset by lower mill rates. Indonesia mining’s consolidated sales volumes of 372 million pounds of copper for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2015,~~2017 were slightly higher than sales of 370 million pounds of copper for the first six months of 2016, primarily reflecting higher ~~copper~~ ore ~~grades.~~grades, offset by the impact of regulatory restrictions on PT-FI’s concentrate exports from January 12, 2017 though April 21, 2017, as discussed above in “Regulatory Matters.”

~~Indonesia's~~Indonesia’s gold sales ~~totaled 307~~of 427 thousand ounces in ~~third-quarter 2016~~second-quarter 2017 and ~~653~~604 thousand ounces for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2016, compared with 285~~2017 were higher than sales of 151 thousand ounces of gold in ~~third-quarter 2015~~second-quarter 2016 and ~~891~~346 thousand ounces for the first ~~nine months of 2015. Lower gold volumes in the first nine~~six months of 2016, ~~compared with the first nine months of 2015,~~ primarily ~~reflect lower~~reflecting higher ore grades. During third-quarter 2016, PT-FI experienced labor productivity issues and a 10-day work stoppage beginning in late September, which affected the timing of access to higher grade ore and resulted in a deferral of production into future periods.

Assuming achieving planned operating rates for the second half of 2017, consolidated sales volumes from Indonesia mining operations are expected to approximate 1.0 billion pounds of copper and 1.6 million ounces of gold for the year 2017, compared with 1.1 billion pounds of copper and 1.1 million ounces of gold for the year 2016. At the Grasberg mine, the sequencing of mining areas with varying ore grades causes fluctuations in quarterly and annual production of copper and gold. ~~Consolidated sales volumes from our~~

Indonesia mining operations are expected to approximate 1.2 billion pounds of copper and 1.24 million ounces of gold for the year 2016, compared with 744 million pounds of copper and 1.2 million ounces of gold for the year 2015. Ore grades are expected to further improve in 2017 because of increased access to higher grade sections of the Grasberg open pit. Indonesia mining'smining’s projected sales volumes are dependent on a number of factors, including operational performance, workforce productivity, the timing of shipments and ~~approval by the Indonesian government~~its ability to ~~continue the~~ export of copper ~~concentrate and anode slimes.~~

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.

~~Export duties were initially set at 7.5 percent in July 2014 and were reduced to 5.0 percent in July 2015 as a result of smelter development progress. Export duties~~PT-FI’s royalties totaled ~~$34~~$43 million in ~~third-quarter~~ ~~2016, $35~~second-quarter 2017, $21 million in ~~third-quarter~~ ~~2015,~~second-quarter 2016, $63 million for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2016~~2017 and ~~$92~~$43 million for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2015.~~2016. Export duties totaled $27 million in second-quarter 2017, $16 million in second-quarter 2016, $41 million for the first six months of 2017 and $29 million for the first six months of 2016. As further discussed above in “Regulatory Matters,” PT-FI agreed to continue to pay a five percent export duty.

~~Because~~Higher depreciation rates for the 2017 periods, compared with the 2016 periods, primarily relate to higher amortization of asset retirement costs associated with the revision in estimates at the end of 2016 for an overburden stockpile. Additionally, because certain assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, PT-FI’s unit depreciation rate varies with the level of copper production and sales.

PT Smelting intercompany (loss) profit represents the change in the deferral of 25 percent of ~~PT-FI's~~PT-FI’s profit on sales to PT Smelting. Refer to ~~"Operations -~~“Operations – Smelting & ~~Refining"~~Refining” for further discussion.

~~Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming~~Assuming an average gold price of $1,250 per ounce for ~~fourth-quarter 2016,~~the second half of 2017 and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, unit net cash costs (net of gold and silver credits) for Indonesia mining are expected to approximate ~~$0.62~~$0.13 per pound of copper for the year ~~2016.~~2017.

Because of the fixed nature of a large portion of ~~Indonesia's~~Indonesia’s costs, unit costs vary from quarter to quarter depending on copper and gold volumes. ~~Anticipated higher ore grades from Grasberg are expected to result in lower unit net cash costs in fourth-quarter 2016 and for the year 2017.~~

Molybdenum Mines

We have two wholly owned molybdenum mines in North America – the Henderson underground mine and the Climax open-pit mine, both in Colorado. The Henderson and Climax mines produce high-purity, chemical-grade molybdenum concentrate, which is typically further processed into value-added molybdenum chemical products. The majority of the molybdenum concentrate produced at the Henderson and Climax mines, as well as from our North America and South America copper mines, is processed at our own conversion facilities.

Operating and Development Activities. In response to market conditions, the ~~revised plans for our~~ Henderson molybdenum mine ~~incorporate lower operating rates, resulting in an approximate 65 percent reduction in Henderson's annual production volumes. We have also adjusted production plans~~continues to operate at ~~our by-product mines, including~~ reduced ~~production at the Sierrita mine. Additionally, we have incorporated changes in the commercial pricing structure for our chemical products to promote continuation of chemical-grade production.~~

rates. Production from the Molybdenum mines totaled 58 million pounds of molybdenum in ~~third-quarter 2016 and 19~~second-quarter2017, 7 million pounds ~~of molybdenum~~in second-quarter 2016, 16 million pounds for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2016, compared with 13~~2017 and 14 million pounds ~~of molybdenum in third-quarter 2015 and 39 million pounds of molybdenum~~ for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2015.~~2016. Refer to ~~"Consolidated Results"~~“Consolidated Results” for our consolidated molybdenum operating data, which includes sales of molybdenum produced at our Molybdenum mines, and from our North America and South America copper mines, and refer to ~~"Outlook"~~“Outlook” for projected consolidated molybdenum sales volumes.

Unit Net Cash Costs Per Pound of Molybdenum. 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.

Average unit net cash costs for our Molybdenum mines of ~~$10.28~~$7.81 per pound of molybdenum in ~~third-quarter~~second-quarter ~~2016~~2017 ~~and $8.39 per pound of molybdenum for the first nine months of~~approximated ~~2016~~second-quarter~~, were higher than average~~ 2016 unit net cash costs of ~~$6.93~~$7.80 per pound. Average unit net cash costs of $7.46 per pound ~~in third-quarter 2015 and $7.10~~ for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2015,~~2017 were lower than $7.61 per pound for the first six months of 2016, primarily reflecting ~~lower~~higher volumes. Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, we estimate unit net

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.

Smelting and Refining

We wholly own and operate a smelter in Arizona (Miami smelter) and a smelter and refinery in Spain (Atlantic Copper). Additionally, PT-FI owns 25 percent of a smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia (PT Smelting). Treatment charges for smelting and refining copper concentrate consist of a base rate per pound of copper and per ounce of gold and are generally fixed. Treatment charges represent a cost to our mining operations and income to Atlantic Copper and PT Smelting. Thus, higher treatment charges benefit our smelter operations and adversely affect our mining operations. Our North America copper mines are less significantly affected by changes in treatment charges because these operations are largely integrated with our Miami smelter. Through this form of downstream integration, we are assured placement of a significant portion of our concentrate production.

Atlantic Copper smelts and refines copper concentrate and markets refined copper and precious metals in slimes. During the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2016,~~2017, Atlantic ~~Copper's~~Copper’s concentrate purchases from our copper mining operations included 1118 percent from our North America copper mines 9and 14 percent from South America ~~mining and 5 percent from Indonesia~~ mining, with the remainder purchased from third parties.

~~PT-FI's~~In March 2017, PT Smelting’s anode slimes export license was renewed through March 1, 2018. PT-FI’s contract with PT Smelting provides for PT-FI to supply 100 percent of the copper concentrate requirements (subject to a minimum or maximum rate) necessary for PT Smelting to produce 205,000 metric tons of copper annually on a priority basis. PT-FI may also sell copper concentrate to PT Smelting at market rates for quantities in excess of 205,000 metric tons of copper annually. During the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2016,~~2017, PT-FI supplied approximately 9096 percent of PT ~~Smelting's~~Smelting’s concentrate ~~requirements,~~requirements.

We defer recognizing profits on sales from our mining operations to Atlantic Copper and on 25 percent of ~~PT-FI's~~PT-FI’s sales to PT Smelting until final sales to third parties occur. Changes in these deferrals attributable to variability in intercompany volumes resulted in net ~~additions~~reductions to net income attributable to common stock of ~~$17~~$51 million in ~~third-quarter~~second-quarter ~~2016~~2017, ~~less than $1~~$13 million infor ~~third-quarter2015~~second-quarter~~, $6~~ 2016, $24 million for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2016~~2017 and ~~$37~~$11 million for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2015~~.2016. Our net deferred profits on our inventories at Atlantic Copper and PT Smelting to be recognized in future periods’ net income attributable to common stock from continuing operations totaled ~~$19~~$68 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~.2017. Quarterly variations in ore grades, the timing of intercompany shipments and changes in product prices will result in variability in our net deferred profits and quarterly earnings.

~~Oil and Gas~~

~~Through our wholly owned oil and gas subsidiary, FM O&G, our principal oil and gas assets include oil production facilities in the Deepwater GOM and in California.~~

In July 2016, FM O&G completed the sale of its Haynesville shale assets for $87 million (before closing adjustments) and in second-quarter 2016, completed the sale of certain oil and gas royalty interests for $102 million (before closing adjustments). Under full cost accounting rules, the proceeds from these transactions were recorded as a reduction of capitalized oil and gas properties, with no gain or loss recognition.

In September 2016, FM O&G entered into an agreement to sell its Deepwater GOM properties for cash consideration of $2.0 billion (before closing adjustments) and up to $150 million in contingent payments, which would be received over time as the purchaser realizes future cash flows in connection with our third-party production handling agreement for the Marlin platform. The transaction has an effective date of August 1, 2016, and is expected to close in fourth-quarter 2016, subject to customary closing conditions. In connection with the transaction, FM O&G entered into an agreement to amend the terms of the Plains Offshore preferred stock to provide FM O&G the option to call these securities for $582 million, which FM O&G expects to exercise at the time the Deepwater GOM sale closes.

In October 2016, FM O&G entered into an agreement to sell its onshore California oil and gas properties for cash consideration of $592 million (before closing adjustments) and contingent consideration of up to $150 million, consisting of $50 million per year for each of 2018, 2019 and 2020 if the price of Brent crude oil averages $70 per barrel or higher in each of those calendar years. The transaction has an effective date of July 1, 2016, and is expected to close in fourth-quarter 2016, subject to customary closing conditions.

Under full cost accounting rules, the Deepwater GOM and onshore California transactions will require gain or loss recognition because of their significance to the full cost pool, but the amounts are not expected to be material. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of these oil and gas transactions, including the derivative contracts entered into during October 2016 as part of the sales agreement for the onshore California oil and gas properties.

~~Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties.~~ As discussed in Note 1, under full cost accounting rules, a "ceiling test" is conducted each quarter to review the carrying value of our oil and gas properties for impairment. The SEC requires the twelve-month average of the first-day-of-the-month historical reference oil price be used in determining the ceiling test limitation. The reference pricing in ceiling test impairment calculations may cause results that do not reflect current market conditions that exist at the end of an accounting period. For example, in periods of increasing oil and gas prices, the use of a twelve-month historical average price in the ceiling test calculation may result in an impairment. Conversely, in times of declining prices, ceiling test calculations may not result in an impairment.

Using West Texas Intermediate (WTI) as the reference oil price, the average price was $41.68 per barrel at September 30, 2016, compared with $43.12 per barrel at June 30, 2016. Combined with the impact of the reduction in twelve-month historical prices and reserve revisions, net capitalized costs exceeded the related ceiling test limitation under full cost accounting rules, which resulted in the recognition of impairment charges totaling $239 million in third-quarter 2016 and $4.3 billion for the first nine months of 2016.

For reconciliations of realized revenues (including average realized prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs) and cash production costs to revenues and production and delivery costs reported in our consolidated financial statements, refer to "Product Revenues and Production Costs."


b.	Includes realized cash gains on crude oil derivative contracts of $11.03 per barrel of oil ($7.44 per BOE) in third-quarter 2015 and $11.58 per barrel of oil ($7.72 per BOE) for the first nine months of 2015.

Includes charges of $2.81 per BOE in third-quarter 2016 and $25.32 per BOE for the first nine months of 2016, primarily for idle rig/drillship settlements, inventory adjustments and asset impairments and charges of $1.54 per BOE in third-quarter 2015 and $1.48 per BOE for the first nine months of 2015, primarily for idle rig costs, inventory adjustments and prior period property tax assessments related to the California properties.

~~FM O&G's average realized price for crude oil was $40.63 per barrel (86 percent of the average Brent crude oil price of $46.99 per barrel) in~~ ~~third-quarter~~ ~~2016 and $37.11 per barrel (86 percent of the average Brent crude oil price of $43.17 per barrel) for the first nine months of 2016.~~

~~FM O&G's average realized price for natural gas was $2.84 per MMBtu in~~ ~~third-quarter~~ 2016, compared to the NYMEX natural gas price average of $2.81 per MMBtu for the July through September 2016 contracts; and $2.24 per MMBtu for the first nine months of 2016, compared to the NYMEX natural gas price average of $2.28 per MMBtu for the January through September 2016 contracts.

~~Realized revenues for oil and gas operations of $34.99 per BOE in~~ ~~third-quarter~~ 2016 and $30.50 per BOE for the first nine months of 2016 were lower than realized revenues of $43.00 per BOE in third-quarter 2015 and $45.57 per BOE for the first nine months of 2015, primarily reflecting lower oil prices and the impact of realized cash gains on derivative contracts of $7.44 per BOE in third-quarter 2015 and $7.72 per BOE for the first nine months of 2015.

~~Cash production costs for oil and gas operations of $15.00 per BOE in~~ ~~third-quarter~~ 2016 and $15.28 per BOE for the first nine months of 2016 were lower than cash production costs of $18.85 per BOE in third-quarter 2015 and $19.42 per BOE for the first nine months of 2015, primarily reflecting ongoing cost reduction efforts. The first nine months of 2016, compared with the 2015 period, also reflects the impact of higher production from the GOM. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, cash production costs are expected to approximate $16.00 per BOE for the year 2016.

a.	~~In September 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell the Deepwater GOM properties. This transaction is expected to close in fourth-quarter 2016.~~


b.	~~In October 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell the onshore California properties. This transaction is expected to close in fourth-quarter 2016.~~


c.	~~In July 2016, we completed the sale of the Haynesville shale assets.~~

~~Daily sales volumes averaged~~ ~~131~~ ~~MBOE in~~ ~~third-quarter2016, including~~ 99 ~~thousand barrels (MBbls) of crude oil,~~ ~~150~~ ~~million cubic feet (MMcf) of natural gas and 7 MBbls of NGLs, and 133 MBOE for the first nine months of~~ ~~2016, including 95 MBbls of crude oil, 191 MMcf of natural gas and 6 MBbls of NGLs.~~

Following completion of the Deepwater GOM and onshore California transactions, our portfolio of oil and gas assets would include oil and natural gas production onshore in South Louisiana and on the GOM Shelf, oil production offshore California and natural gas production from the Madden area in Central Wyoming. In third-quarter 2016, these properties produced an average of 7 MBbls of oil and NGLs per day and 74 MMcf of natural gas per day.

~~Oil and Gas Capital Expenditures~~. Capital expenditures for our oil and gas operations in third-quarter 2016 totaled $160 million (including $75 million incurred for GOM). Capital expenditures for our oil and gas operations for the first nine months of 2016 totaled $1.0 billion in the U.S. (including $0.6 billion incurred for GOM) and $47 million for international oil and gas properties, primarily associated with Morocco. Capital expenditures for oil and gas operations are estimated to total $1.2 billion for the year 2016.

~~DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS~~

~~Africa Mining~~

As further discussed in Note 2, in May 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell our interest in TFHL, through which we hold an effective 56 percent interest in the Tenke copper and cobalt mining concessions in the Southeast region of the DRC. In accordance with accounting guidelines, the operating results of Africa mining have been separately reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The closing of the transaction is currently subject to customary closing conditions, including the resolution of the right of first offer (which expires on November 15, 2016) of Lundin Mining Corporation (which holds a 30 percent interest in TFHL), and the parties are working towards a satisfactory resolution in order to complete the transaction in fourth-quarter 2016. In addition, La Générale des Carrières et des Mines (Gécamines), which is wholly owned by the DRC government and holds a 20 percent non-dilutable interest in Tenke Fungurume Mining S.A.) recently filed an arbitration proceeding with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) International Court of Arbitration challenging the transaction; however, we believe that Gécamines’ claims have no legal basis.

The Tenke operation includes open-pit mining, leaching and SX/EW operations. Copper production from the Tenke minerals district is sold as copper cathode. In addition to copper, the Tenke minerals district produces cobalt hydroxide.

~~Africa mining's copper sales of 118 million pounds in~~ ~~third-quarter2016~~ ~~and 365 million pounds for the first nine months of~~ ~~2016, were higher than sales of 113 million pounds in~~ ~~third-quarter~~ ~~2015 and 350 million pounds for the first nine months of 2015, primarily reflecting higher mining and milling rates. The third-quarter 2016 also reflects higher copper ore grades.~~

~~Africa mining's sales for 2016 are expected to approximate~~ ~~485 million~~ ~~pounds of copper and~~ ~~38 million~~ ~~pounds of cobalt, compared with~~ ~~467 million~~ ~~pounds of copper and~~ ~~35 million~~ ~~pounds of cobalt for the year~~ ~~2015. Africa mining's projected sales for the year 2016 would be impacted by the timing of the completion of the sale of our interest in TFHL.~~

~~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.

~~Based on current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average cobalt price of~~ ~~$11~~ ~~per pound for fourth-quarter~~ ~~2016, unit net cash costs (net of cobalt credits) for Africa mining are expected to approximate $1.26 per pound of copper for 2016.~~

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Our consolidated operating cash flows vary with sales volumes, prices realized from copper, gold and molybdenum ~~and oil~~ sales, ~~our sales volumes,~~ production costs, income taxes, other working capital changes and other factors. ~~In response to weak market conditions,~~During 2016, we ~~have taken~~took actions to ~~enhance~~restore our financial position, including significant reductions in capital spending, production curtailments at certain North and South America mines and actions to reduce operating, exploration and administrative costs.

~~In addition to reducing costs and capital expenditures to maximize cash flows from our global business, we have announced $6.6 billion in~~balance sheet strength through a combination of asset sale transactions, cash flow from ~~which~~operations and capital market transactions. We believe that we have received aggregate cash consideration of $1.4 billion. The remaining $5.2 billion in gross proceeds associated with the pending sale of our interest in TFHL and the sales of our Deepwater GOM and onshore California oil and gas properties is expected to be received in fourth-quarter 2016. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of these disposal transactions.

~~In July 2016, we commenced~~ a new registered at-the-market equity offering of up to $1.5 billion in common stock. Through November 8, 2016, we have sold 59.8 million shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $719 million ($12.02 per share average price).

~~We remain focused on our~~ high-quality portfolio of long-lived copper assets positioned to generate ~~value as market conditions improve. In addition to debt reduction plans, we~~long-term value. We are pursuing opportunities to ~~create additional value through mine designs that would increase copper reserves, reduce costs and provide opportunities to~~ enhance our mines’ net present values, and we continue to advance studies for future development of our copper resources, the timing of which will be dependent on market conditions.

Through August 4, 2016, we exchanged $369 million in senior notes (including $101 million during third-quarter 2016) maturing in 2022, 2023, 2034 and 2043 for 28 million shares of our common stock in a series of privately negotiated transactions.

~~Refer to Note 6 for further discussion of debt.~~

Operating Activities

We generated consolidated operating cash flows of ~~$2.6~~$1.8 billion (including ~~$463~~$322 million in working capital sources and changes in ~~other~~ tax payments) for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2016~~2017 and ~~$2.6~~$1.6 billion (including ~~$342~~$466 million for working capital sources and changes in ~~other~~ tax payments) for the first ~~nine~~six months of 2015. Lower copper price realizations for the first nine months of 2016 were offset by an increase in working capital sources mostly resulting from lower tax payments from our international mining operations. Additionally, the first nine months of 2015 included tax payments of approximately $0.3 billion associated with our November 2014 sale of Candelaria.2016.

~~Based on current operating plans, subject~~Subject to future commodity prices for copper, gold and molybdenum, ~~and subject to a favorable resolution of Indonesian regulatory matters,~~ we expect estimated consolidated operating cash flows for the year 2017, plus available cash and availability under our credit facility and uncommitted lines of credit, to be sufficient to fund our budgeted capital expenditures, scheduled debt maturities, noncontrolling interest distributions and other cash requirements for the year. Refer to “Outlook” for further discussion of projected operating cash flows for the year 2017, and to “Risk Factors,” contained in Part I, Item 1A. of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,. for discussion of regulatory matters in Indonesia, which could have a significant impact on future results.

Investing Activities

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, totaled ~~$2.3 billion~~$706 million for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2016, consisting of $1.2 billion for mining operations (including $0.9 billion~~2017, including approximately $420 million for major ~~projects) and $1.1 billion for oil and gas operations.~~mining projects.

PRODUCT REVENUES AND PRODUCTION COSTS

Mining Product Revenues and Unit Net Cash Cost

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~~These measures are 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)~~(iv) it is the method used by our management and our Board to monitor ~~operations.~~our mining operations and to compare mining operations in certain industry publications. In the co-product method presentations, ~~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 revenue adjustments for prior period open sales as a separate line item. Because these adjustments do not result from current period sales, wethese amounts have been reflected ~~these~~ separately from revenues on current period

sales. Noncash and other costs, which are removed from site production and delivery costs in the calculation of unit

net cash costs, consist of items such as stock-based compensation costs, start-up costs, inventory adjustments,

long-lived asset ~~retirements/~~impairments, restructuring 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. The following schedules ~~for our mining operations~~ are presentations under both the by-product and co-product methods

together with reconciliations ~~to amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements.~~

~~U.S. Oil and Gas Product Revenues and Cash Production Costs per Unit~~

Realized revenues and cash production costs per unit are measures intended to provide investors with information about the cash operating margin of our oil and gas operations. We use this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our oil and gas 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. Our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Accretion charges for asset retirement obligations and other costs, such as drillship settlements/idle rig costs, inventory write downs and/or unusual charges, are removed from production and delivery costs in the calculation of cash production costs per BOE. Additionally, in the 2015 periods, we had crude oil derivative contracts. We show revenue adjustments from these derivative contracts as separate line items. Because these adjustments did not result from oil and gas sales, gains and losses have been reflected separately from revenues on current period sales. The following schedules include calculations of oil and gas product revenues and cash production costs together with a reconciliation to amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements.

The words “anticipates,” “may,” “can,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “targets,” “intends,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “to be,” ~~“potential,”~~“potential” and any similar expressions are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements. Under our term loan and revolving credit facility, as amended, we are not permitted to pay dividends on common stock on or prior to March 31, 2017. The declaration of dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors (Board), subject to restrictions under our credit agreements, and will depend on our financial results, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board.

We caution readers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and 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 supply of and demand for, and prices of, copper, gold ~~molybdenum, cobalt, crude oil~~ and ~~natural gas,~~molybdenum; mine ~~sequencing,~~sequencing; production ~~rates, drilling results,~~rates; potential effects of cost and capital expenditure reductions and production curtailments on financial results and cash flow, the outcome of our debt reduction initiatives, our ability to secure regulatory approvals, satisfy closing conditions and consummate pending asset sales, potential additional oil and gas property impairment charges,flow; potential inventory ~~adjustments,~~adjustments; potential impairment of long-lived mining ~~assets,~~assets; the outcome of ~~ongoing discussions~~negotiations with the Indonesian government regarding ~~PT Freeport Indonesia's (PT-FI) Contract of Work (COW),~~PT-FI’s COW; the potential effects of violence in Indonesia generally and in the province of ~~Papua, the resolution of administrative disputes in the Democratic Republic of Congo,~~Papua; industry ~~risks,~~risks; regulatory changes (including adoption of financial responsibility regulations as recently proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and CERCLA for the hard rock mining industry); political ~~risks,~~risks; labor ~~relations,~~relations; weather- and climate-related ~~risks,~~risks; environmental ~~risks,~~risks; litigation results (including the final disposition of the unfavorable Indonesia Tax Court ruling relating to surface water taxes); and other factors described in more detail in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015~~,2016, filed with the ~~U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)~~SEC as updated by our subsequent filings with the ~~SEC and Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this report.~~SEC. With respect to our operations in Indonesia, such factors include whether PT-FI will be able to continue to export its copper concentrate, or whether PT Smelting (PT-FI's 25 percent-owned Indonesian smelting unit) will be able to export its anode slimes after the January 12, 2017, effective date of regulations prohibiting exports of copper concentrate and anode slimes, including whether and when those regulations may be revised and whether any such revisions would impose conditions or costs on PT-FI not containedresolve complex regulatory matters in ~~its COW. The inability of PT-FI and PT Smelting to export copper concentrate and anode slimes, respectively, for any extended period of time would lead to the suspension of all of our production in~~ Indonesia.

Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions upon which our forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after the 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 not be able to control. Further, we may make changes to our business plans that could affect our results. We caution investors that we do not intend to update forward-looking statements more frequently than quarterly notwithstanding any changes in our assumptions, changes in business plans, actual experience or other changes, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in our market risks during the ~~nine-month~~six-month period ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~.2017. For additional information on market risks, refer to “Disclosures About Market Risks” included in Part II, Items 7. and 7A. of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015~~.2016. 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 the period ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~;2017; for projected sensitivities of our provisionally priced copper sales and derivative instruments to changes in commodity prices refer to “Consolidated Results – Revenues” in Part I, Item 2. of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~.2017.


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 15d-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 ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~.2017.


(b)	Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~,2017, 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 numerous legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business or that are associated with environmental issues arising from legacy operations conducted over the years by Freeport Minerals 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.

Management does not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcome of any proceeding reported in Note 9 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, and in Part I, Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” and Note 12 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015~~,2016, 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.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

~~The~~There have been no material changes to our risk ~~factor~~ ~~“Because our Grasberg mining operations in Indonesia is a significant operating asset, our business may continue~~factors during the three-month period ended June 30, 2017. For additional information on risk factors, refer to ~~be adversely affected by political, economic and social uncertainties and security risks in Indonesia”, which was included in~~Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015, is amended to add the following:~~

~~PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI) produces copper concentrate that contains significant quantities of gold~~2016 and silver. Substantially all of PT-FI’s copper concentrate is sold under long-term contracts, and during the first nine months of 2016, approximately half of PT-FI’s concentrate production was sold to PT Smelting (PT-FI's 25-percent owned smelter and refinery), which is the only copper smelter in Indonesia.

In August 2016, PT-FI’s export permit was renewed through January 11, 2017. Current regulations published by the Indonesian government prohibit exports of copper concentrate and anode slimes (a by-product of the copper refining process containing metals including gold, produced by PT Smelting) after January 12, 2017. The Indonesian government has indicated it intends to revise these regulations in order to protect employment and government revenues, but we cannot predict whether and when those regulations may be revised or whether any such revisions would impose conditions or costs on PT-FI not contained in its Contract of Work (COW), such as additional royalty payments or export duties, increased smelter development commitments, increased depository

~~Table of Contents~~

~~requirements, or conversion of contracts of work to less favorable licenses under the 2009 mining law framework. PT-FI is actively engaged with Indonesian government officials to resolve this matter.~~

We also cannot predict whether PT-FI will be able to continue to export its copper concentrate, or whether PT Smelting will be able to export its anode slimes, after January 12, 2017. The inability of PT-FI and PT Smelting to export copper concentrate and anode slimes, respectively, for any extended period of time, would lead to the suspension of allPart II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our production in Indonesia, which would have a material adverse effect on our cash flow, liquidity and profitability, and could result in asset impairments, inventory write downs, difficulty in meeting covenants under our credit facilities, and a significant reduction in our reported mineral reserves.

The initial term of PT-FI’s COW expires in 2021, but the COW explicitly provides that it can be extended for two 10-year periods subject to Indonesian government approval, which cannot be withheld or delayed unreasonably. PT-FI has been engaged in discussions with officials of the Indonesian government since 2012 regarding various provisions of its COW, including extending its term. We cannot predict whether PT-FI will be successful in reaching a satisfactory agreement on the terms of its long-term mining rights. If PT-FI is unable to reach agreement with the Indonesian government on its long-term rights, we may be required to reduce or defer investments in underground development projects, which would have a material adverse effect on our future production, cash flow, liquidity and profitability, and could result in asset impairments, inventory write downs, difficulty in meeting covenants under our credit facilities, and a significant reduction in our reported mineral reserves.

In the event PT-FI is unable to reach a satisfactory resolution of these matters, PT-FI would intend to pursue any and all claims against the Indonesian government for breach of contract through international arbitration.

On October 14, 2016, a new Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources was appointed, the fourth person to hold the office since July 2016. We cannot predict what impact the transition will have on any amendments to existing regulations, or the progress or outcome of PT-FI’s COW negotiations.

~~The risk factor~~ “Mine closure and reclamation regulations impose substantial costs on our operations, and include requirements that we provide financial assurance supporting those obligations. We also have plugging and abandonment obligations related to our oil and gas properties, and are required to provide bonds or other forms of financial assurance in connection with those operations. Changes in or the failure to comply with these requirements could have a material adverse effect on us”~~, which was included in our annual~~quarterly report on Form ~~10-K~~10-Q for the ~~year~~quarter ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2015, is amended to add the following:~~2017.

With respect to our mining operations, our financial assurance obligations are based principally on state laws that may vary by jurisdiction, depending on how each state regulates land use and groundwater quality. Although Section 108(b) of Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to identify classes of facilities that must establish evidence of financial responsibility, currently there are no financial assurance requirements for active mining operations under CERCLA. In August 2014, several environmental organizations initiated litigation against the EPA to require it to set a schedule for adopting financial assurance regulations under CERCLA governing the hard rock mining industry. The EPA and the environmental organizations reached a joint agreement and submitted it to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit for approval. Notwithstanding industry objections, the court approved the agreement on January 29, 2016, thereby requiring the EPA to propose financial assurance regulations for the hard rock mining industry by December 1, 2016, and to provide notice of its final action by December 1, 2017. The EPA recently filed a status update with the court confirming that it intended to proceed with promulgation of the proposed rules by December 1, 2016. Based on limited information contained in recent conceptual presentations made by the EPA, the proposed rules, if promulgated as apparently envisioned by the EPA, would result in onerous financial responsibility obligations for our U.S. hard rock mining operations. For instance, the form, cost and availability of financial mechanisms necessary to meet such obligations is uncertain (if they could be met at all). In addition, complying with these obligations could be very costly, harm the international competitiveness of our U.S. hard rock mining operations and have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, operations and profitability.

Except as described above, there have been no material changes to our risk factors during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. For additional information on risk factors, refer to Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended ~~December 31, 2015~~.

Item 2.	Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

~~(a) We entered into privately negotiated share exchange agreements to exchange certain~~There were no unregistered sales of ~~our outstanding senior notes for shares of our common stock, plus cash representing accrued and unpaid interest on~~equity securities during the ~~senior notes. During the quarter~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016, we issued an aggregate of 8 million~~2017.

There were no shares of common stock ~~and approximately $2~~purchased by us during the six months ended June 30, 2017. On July 21, 2008, our Board of Directors approved an increase in our open-market share purchase program for up to 30 million ~~in cash representing accrued and unpaid interest, in exchange for~~shares. There have been no purchases under this program since 2008. This program does not have an ~~aggregate~~expiration date. At June 30, 2017, there were 23.7 million shares that could still be purchased under the program.

Table of $101 million in senior notes, consisting of: (i) $23 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.550% Senior Notes due 2022; (ii) $25 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.875% Senior Notes due 2023; and (iii) $53 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.450% Senior Notes due 2043.Contents

The issuance of shares of common stock in the exchange transactions was made in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) thereof, as the exchanges were made with existing security holders exclusively in a series of privately negotiated transactions where no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting the exchanges.
