Table of Contents
Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein,
contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Such forward-looking information
is intended to be covered by the safe harbor to "forward-looking statements" provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. These statements may be made directly in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus or may be
incorporated in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus by reference to other documents and may include
statements for the period following the completion of this transaction. Representatives of FCX may also make forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical facts, such as those statements regarding
projected ore grades and milling rates, projected production and sales volumes, projected unit net cash costs, projected operating
cash flows, projected capital expenditures, projected exploration efforts and results, projected mine production and development
plans, the impact of deferred intercompany profits on earnings, liquidity, other financial commitments and tax rates, the impact of
copper, gold, molybdenum and cobalt price changes, reserve estimates, potential prepayments of debt, future dividend payments and
potential share purchases. The words "anticipates," "may," "can," "plans," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "intends,"
"likely," "will," "should," "to be," and any similar expressions are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking
statements. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein
and therein, may also include forward-looking statements regarding mineralized material not included in reserves. The mineralized
material described will not qualify as reserves until comprehensive engineering studies establish their feasibility. Accordingly, no
assurance can be given that the estimated mineralized material not included in reserves will become proven and probable reserves.
We caution readers that those statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ materially from
those anticipated, projected or assumed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that can cause our actual results to differ
materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, commodity prices, mine
sequencing, production rates, industry risks, regulatory changes, political risks, the potential effects of violence in Indonesia, the
resolution of administrative disputes in the Democratic Republic of Congo, weather- and climate-related risks, labor relations,
environmental risks, litigation results, currency translation risks and other factors described in more detail under the heading "Risk
Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2011, filed with the SEC as updated by our subsequent filings with the SEC.
Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions on which our forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after our
forward-looking statements are made, including for example commodity prices, which we cannot control, and production volumes
and costs, some aspects of which we may or may not be able to control. Further, we may make changes to our business plans that
could or will affect our results. We caution investors that we do not intend to update our forward-looking statements more frequently
than quarterly notwithstanding any changes in our assumptions, changes in our business plans, our actual experience, or other changes,
and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Recent developments
On January 19, 2012, we announced preliminary unaudited financial information for the fourth-quarter and year-ended
December 31, 2011.
Revenues for fourth-quarter 2011 totaled $4.2 billion and operating income totaled $1.3 billion, compared with revenues of $5.6
billion and operating income of $3.1 billion for fourth-quarter 2010. Our fourth-quarter 2011 results were adversely impacted
primarily by lower realized copper prices, labor disruptions and the temporary suspension of milling operations at PT Freeport
Indonesia as a result of damage to the concentrate and fuel pipelines. We reported that net income attributable to common stock
for fourth-quarter 2011 totaled $640 million, or $0.67 per share, compared with net income attributable to common stock of $1.5
billion, or $1.63 per share, for fourth-quarter 2010. Consolidated sales from mines for fourth-quarter 2011 totaled 823 million
pounds of copper, 133 thousand ounces of gold and 19 million pounds of molybdenum, compared with 941 million pounds of
copper, 590 thousand ounces of gold and 17 million pounds of molybdenum for fourth-quarter 2010. Net income attributable to
common stock for the year-ended December 31, 2011 was $4.6 billion, or $4.78 per share, compared with $4.3 billion, or $4.57
per share, for the year-ended December 31, 2010. Consolidated sales for the year-ended December 31, 2011 totaled 3.7 billion
pounds of copper, 1.4 million ounces of gold and 79 million pounds of molybdenum, compared with 3.9 billion pounds of copper,
1.9 million ounces of gold and 67 million pounds of molybdenum for the year-ended December 31, 2010.
Operating income in the fourth-quarter 2011 and the year-ended December 31, 2011 includes charges totaling $116 million ($50
million to net income attributable to common stock or $0.05 per share) primarily associated with bonuses for new labor
agreements and other employee costs at PT Freeport Indonesia, Cerro Verde and El Abra. Net income attributable to common
stock in the year-ended December 31, 2011 also includes net losses on early extinguishment of debt totaling $60 million ($0.06
per share) and additional taxes of $49 million ($0.05 per share) associated with Peru's new mining tax and royalty regime. Net
income attributable to common stock in the fourth-quarter 2010 and the year-ended December 31, 2010 includes net losses on
early extinguishment of debt totaling $3 million (less than $0.01 per share) and $71 million ($0.07 per share), respectively.
On February 7, 2012, our board of directors authorized an increase in our annual common stock dividend from $1.00 per share to
$1.25 per share, with the initial quarterly dividend of $0.3125 per share expected to be paid in May 2012.

Risk factors
Investing in the notes involves risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, and in consultation with your
own financial and legal advisors, you should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as the risk factors incorporated
by reference in this prospectus supplement from our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and in
our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 under the heading "Risk Factors" as updated by
our subsequent filings with the SEC. You should also refer to the other information in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes incorporated by reference into this prospectus
supplement.
Risks related to the notes
The notes are subject to prior claims of our secured creditors and the creditors of our subsidiaries, and if a default occurs we
may not have sufficient funds to fulfill our obligations under the notes.
The notes are our unsecured general obligations, ranking equally with our other senior unsecured indebtedness and liabilities but
effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and
structurally subordinated to the debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. The indenture governing the notes permits us and our
subsidiaries to incur secured debt under specified circumstances. If we incur any secured debt, our assets and the assets of our
subsidiaries will be subject to prior claims by our secured creditors. In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or
other winding up, assets that secure debt will be available to pay obligations on the notes only after all debt secured by those assets
has been repaid in full. Holders of the notes will participate in our remaining assets ratably with all of our unsecured and
unsubordinated creditors, including our trade creditors.
If we incur any additional obligations that rank equally with the notes, including trade payables, the holders of those obligations will
be entitled to share ratably with the holders of the notes in any proceeds distributed upon our insolvency, liquidation, reorganization,
dissolution or other winding up. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you. If there are not sufficient
assets remaining to pay all of these creditors, all or a portion of the notes then outstanding would remain unpaid.
As of September 30, 2011, we had outstanding indebtedness of approximately $3,375 million that ranks equally with the notes, we
had no secured indebtedness outstanding and our subsidiaries had approximately $9,972 million of outstanding indebtedness and
other liabilities.
The indenture does not limit the amount of indebtedness that we and our subsidiaries may incur.
The indenture under which the notes will be issued does not limit the amount of indebtedness that we and our subsidiaries may incur.
The indenture does not contain any financial covenants or other provisions that would afford the holders of the notes any substantial
protection in the event we participate in a highly leveraged transaction.
The agreements governing our indebtedness contain various covenants that limit our discretion in the operation of our
business and also require us to meet financial maintenance tests and other covenants. The failure to comply with such tests
and covenants could have a material adverse effect on us.
The agreements governing our indebtedness contain various covenants, subject to exceptions, including covenants that restrict our
ability to:

· incur additional indebtedness;

· create liens on our assets;

· use assets as security in other transactions;
