summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a more complete understanding of the exchange offer,
we encourage you to read this entire prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein. You should read the following summary
together with the more detailed information and consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements incorporated by reference
into this prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, financial information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus is presented
on a historical basis.
Our Company
FCX is a leading international mining company with headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. FCX operates large, long-lived, geographically
diverse assets with significant proven and probable reserves of copper, gold and molybdenum. FCX is the world's largest publicly traded
copper producer. FCX's portfolio of assets includes the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia, one of the world's largest copper and gold
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.
Our principal executive offices are located at 333 North Central Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85004-2189 and our telephone number is (602)
366-8100. Our website is located at www.fcx.com. Our website and the information contained on our website are not part of this prospectus.
Risks Affecting Us
Investing in the new notes involves risk, and our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Investors should carefully consider
the information set forth in this prospectus, including the information under the heading "Risk Factors" herein.
Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges
The following table sets forth our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the periods indicated.

Ratio of earnings to fixed charges a

3.2x -- b -- c -- d 6.8x 18.3x

a.
For purposes of computing the consolidated ratio of earning to fixed charges, earnings consist of income (loss) before income taxes and
equity in affiliated companies' net earnings (losses). Noncontrolling interests were not deducted from earnings as all such subsidiaries
had fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest (including capitalized interest) of all indebtedness; amortization of debt discounts,
premiums and expenses; the portion of rental expense that FCX believes to be representative of interest; and preferred stock dividends of
a consolidated subsidiary. The ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends is the same as the ratio of
earnings to fixed charges for the years presented because no shares of preferred stock were outstanding during these years.
b.
As a result of the loss recorded in 2016, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. FCX would have needed to generate additional earnings of
$3.5 billion to achieve coverage of 1:1 in 2016.
c.
As a result of the loss recorded in 2015, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. FCX would have needed to generate additional earnings of
$14.3 billion to achieve coverage of 1:1 in 2015.
d.
As a result of the loss recorded in 2014, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. FCX would have needed to generate additional earnings of
$1.0 billion to achieve coverage of 1:1 in 2014.

notes, you must acknowledge that you are not engaging in, and do not intend to engage
in, a distribution of the new notes. If you decide to tender your old notes in the exchange
offer, you may withdraw them at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
June 20, 2017. If we decide for any reason not to accept any old notes for exchange,
your old notes will be returned to you without expense promptly after the exchange
offer expires.

Procedures for Tendering
To tender effectively old notes that are held of record by a custodian bank, depository,
broker, trust company or other nominee, you must instruct such holder to tender the old
notes on your behalf. A letter of instructions from the record owner to you may be
included in the materials provided along with this prospectus which may be used by you
to instruct the registered holder of your old notes to effect the tender.

To tender effectively old notes that are held through DTC, you should transmit your
acceptance through the DTC Automated Tender Offer Program System ("ATOP") and
DTC will then edit and verify the acceptance and send an agent's message to the

exchange agent for its acceptance. By using the ATOP procedures to exchange old
notes, you will not be required to deliver a letter of transmittal to the exchange agent.
However, you will be bound by its terms just as if you had signed it. See "The Exchange
Offer--Procedures for Tendering Old Notes."

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
Your exchange of old notes for new notes in the exchange offer will not result in any
income, gain or loss to you for federal income tax purposes. See "Material United States
Federal Income Tax Consequences."

Use of Proceeds
We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the new notes in the exchange
offer.

Exchange Agent
U.S. Bank National Association is the exchange agent for the exchange offer.

Failure to Tender Your Old Notes
If you fail to tender your old notes in the exchange offer, you will not have any further
rights under the registration rights agreement, including any right to require us to
register your old notes or to pay you additional interest.
You will be able to resell the new notes without registering them with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") if you
meet the requirements described below.
Based on interpretations by the SEC's staff in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that the new notes issued in exchange for the
old notes in the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you without registering the new notes under the
Securities Act or delivering a prospectus, unless you are a broker-dealer receiving securities for your own account, so long as:

· you are not one of our "affiliates," as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act;

· you acquire the new notes in the ordinary course of business;

· you do not have any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes; and

· you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of the new notes.
If you are one of our affiliates, or you are engaged in, intend to engage in or have any arrangement or understanding with respect to, the
distribution of the new notes acquired in the exchange offer, you (1) should not rely on our interpretations of the position of the SEC's staff
and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/831259/000119312517174949/d359498d424b3.htm[5/18/2017 2:37:45 PM]

424B3
If you are a broker-dealer and receive new notes for your own account in the exchange offer:

· you must represent that you do not have any arrangement with us or any of our affiliates to distribute the new notes;

· you must acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the new notes you receive from us in the

exchange offer; the letter of transmittal for the new notes states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, you will
not be deemed to admit that you are an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act; and

· you may use this prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, in connection with the resale of new notes

received in exchange for old notes acquired by you as a result of market-making or other trading activities.
For a period of 180 days after the expiration of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus available to any participating broker-dealer
for use in connection with any resale described above.

time prior to February 1, 2018 in the case of the new 2022 notes and February 15, 2020

We may redeem the new notes at any time and from time to time during the periods set
forth herein at fixed redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the

date of redemption, as described under "Description of the Notes--Optional
Redemption."

Change of Control
If we experience a change of control triggering event (as defined in the indenture
governing the new notes), unless we have already exercised our option to redeem the
new notes of the applicable series, holders of the new notes will have the right to require
us to purchase the new notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of their principal
amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. See
"Description of the Notes--Change of Control Triggering Event."

Guarantee
FM O&G entered into an indenture with FCX and U.S. Bank National Association, as
trustee, dated as of December 13, 2016, pursuant to which FM O&G agreed to fully and
unconditionally guarantee our obligations under the notes and the indenture (FM O&G's
guarantee of the notes, the "guarantee requirement"). FM O&G's guarantee of the notes:

· is a general unsecured obligation of FM O&G;

· ranks equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness of FM O&G, but is effectively subordinated to all

of FM O&G's future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the
assets securing such indebtedness; and
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/831259/000119312517174949/d359498d424b3.htm[5/18/2017 2:37:45 PM]

424B3

· is senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated

indebtedness of FM O&G.

In addition, each of FM O&G's subsidiaries, if any, that becomes a guarantor of FCX's
obligations under certain of its material indebtedness or FM O&G's obligations under

certain of its material indebtedness will enter into a supplemental indenture, pursuant to
which such subsidiary will agree to jointly and severally and fully and

6
Table of Contents
unconditionally guarantee our obligations under the notes and the indenture. See

"Description of the Notes--Additional Guarantors."

Ranking
The indebtedness evidenced by the new notes and the guarantee will be FCX and FM
O&G's senior unsecured obligations and will rank senior in right of payment to any
subordinated indebtedness that FCX or FM O&G may incur in the future and equally in
right of payment with all of FCX and FM O&G's existing and future unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness. The new notes will be effectively subordinated to any
secured indebtedness that FCX and FM O&G may have or incur in the future to the
extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and will be structurally
subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade accounts payable)
of FCX's subsidiaries other than FM O&G, and FM O&G's subsidiaries.

As of March 31, 2017, FCX and its consolidated subsidiaries together had outstanding
indebtedness of approximately $11.6 billion that ranked equally with the notes, FCX
had no material secured indebtedness outstanding (excluding secured indebtedness of

FCX's subsidiaries), FCX's subsidiaries other than FM O&G had approximately
$26.8 billion of outstanding indebtedness and other liabilities to which the notes are
structurally subordinated and FM O&G had $0.3 billion of outstanding indebtedness that
ranked equally with the notes and no secured indebtedness outstanding.

Certain Covenants
The indenture governing the new notes contains covenants that restrict our ability, with
certain exceptions, to incur debt secured by liens, engage in sale and leaseback
transactions and merge or consolidate with another entity, or sell, transfer or lease all or
substantially all of our assets.

No Prior Market
The new notes will be a new class of securities for which there is currently no market.
FCX does not intend to apply for the new notes to be listed on any securities exchange
or to arrange for the new notes to be quoted on any automated interdealer quotation
system. Accordingly, FCX cannot assure you that a liquid market for the new notes will
develop or be maintained.

Risk Factors
Please see "Risk Factors" in this prospectus, as well as the other cautionary statements
throughout this prospectus, for a discussion of factors you should carefully consider
before deciding to tender your old notes for new notes in the exchange offer.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider all of the information in this prospectus and each of the risks described below. In addition, you should carefully
consider, among other things, the matters discussed under "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2016, as updated by our subsequent filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Some of the risks relate to not
tendering in the exchange offer, tendering in the exchange offer or to the new notes, and others relate to our business. Any of the risks discussed
could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and the actual outcome of matters as to which
forward-looking statements are made in this prospectus. While we believe we have identified and discussed below and in the documents
incorporated by reference herein the material risks relating to the exchange offer, the new notes and affecting our business, there may be
additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know or that we do not currently believe to be material that may adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations in the future. See the section entitled, "Cautionary Statement."
Risks Related to the Exchange Offer
There are no public markets for the new notes, and we cannot assure you that markets for the new notes will develop.
The new notes will be registered under the Securities Act, but we do not intend to apply for a listing of the new notes of any series on any
securities exchange or a quotation of the new notes on any automated interdealer quotation system. The new notes of each series will be a new
class of securities for which there is no established public trading market, and no assurance can be given as to:

· the liquidity of any such market that may develop;

· the ability of holders to sell their new notes; or

· the prices at which the holders would be able to sell their new notes.
If such markets were to develop, the new notes might trade at higher or lower prices than their principal amounts or purchase prices, depending on
many factors, including:

· prevailing interest rates and the markets for similar securities;

· general economic conditions; and

· our financial condition, historic financial performance and future prospects.
Any market-making activity with respect to the new notes may be discontinued at any time without notice. In addition, any market-making activity
would be subject to the limits imposed by the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and may
be limited during the exchange offer. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will exist for the new notes or that any trading
market that does develop will be liquid.
In addition, any old note holder who tenders in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the new notes may be
required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. For a
description of these requirements, see the section entitled "The Exchange Offer."
Your old notes will not be accepted for exchange if you fail to follow the exchange offer procedures and, as a result, your old notes will
continue to be subject to existing transfer restrictions and you may not be able to sell your old notes.
You are responsible for complying with the procedures of the exchange offer, and we will not accept your old notes for exchange if you do not
follow the exchange offer procedures. We will issue new notes as part of this

exchange offer only after a timely tender of old notes as described in the section entitled "The Exchange Offer." If you do not tender your old notes
by the expiration date of the exchange offer, we will not accept your old notes for exchange. Holders of old notes who wish to tender their old
notes should allow sufficient time for timely completion of the procedures for tendering old notes. If there are defects or irregularities with respect
to your tender of old notes, we will not accept such old notes for exchange. Neither we nor the exchange agent are under any duty to extend the

exchange offer or give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to the tenders of old notes for exchange.
We did not register the old notes, nor do we intend to do so following the exchange offer. Old notes that are not tendered will therefore continue to
be subject to the existing transfer restrictions and may be transferred only in limited circumstances under the securities laws. If you do not
exchange your old notes, you will, subject to limited exceptions, lose your right to have such old notes registered under the federal securities laws.
As a result, if you hold old notes after the exchange offer, you may not be able to sell your old notes.
The reoffering and resale of the old notes is subject to significant legal restrictions.
The old notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws. As a result, holders of old notes may reoffer or resell
old notes only if:

· there is an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws that applies

to the circumstances of the offer and sale; or

· we file a registration statement and it becomes effective.
We may repurchase any old notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer on terms that are more or less favorable to the holders of the old
notes than the terms of the exchange offer.
Although we do not currently intend to do so, we or our affiliates may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, after the expiration date of the
exchange offer, acquire old notes that are not tendered and accepted in the exchange offer through open market purchases, privately negotiated
transactions, tender offers, exchange offers, redemption or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, which with respect
to the old notes may be more or less favorable to holders than the terms of the exchange offer. There can be no assurance as to which, if any, of
these alternatives or combinations thereof we or our affiliates may choose to pursue in the future.
Risks Related to the New Notes
The new notes are subject to prior claims of our secured creditors and the creditors of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the new notes, and
if a default occurs we may not have sufficient funds to fulfill our obligations under the new notes.
The new notes are our unsecured general obligations, ranking equally with our other senior unsecured indebtedness and liabilities but effectively
subordinated to any secured indebtedness that we may have or incur in the future to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness
and structurally subordinated to the debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the new notes. For example, certain of our
subsidiaries may be required or otherwise designated to guarantee our revolving credit facility pursuant to the terms thereof but may not be
required to guarantee the new notes pursuant to the indenture governing the new notes. In such circumstance, the new notes would be structurally
subordinated with respect to the debt and other liabilities of such subsidiaries that do not guarantee the new notes but guarantee our revolving credit
facility.
FM O&G's guarantee of the new notes is FM O&G's unsecured general obligation, ranking equally with FM O&G's other senior unsecured
indebtedness and liabilities but effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness that FM O&G may have or incur in the future to the extent of
the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to the debt and other liabilities of FM O&G's subsidiaries that do
not

guarantee the new notes. The indenture governing the new 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 securing such debt 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 new notes only after all debt secured by those assets has been repaid in full. Holders of the new 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 new notes, including trade payables, the holders of those obligations will be
entitled to share ratably with the holders of the new 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 new notes then outstanding would remain unpaid.
