Should be modified that it is not the world's biggest Copper producer, as Chile's state owned CODELCO is still the biggest. --194.203.212.109 10:37, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unbalanced treatment, Grasberg mine

This portion of the article cites only the case against Freeport and alleged violations by the company. There is no balancing argument from Freeport, and no sources are cited. Clear NPOV violations, and I have tagged accordingly. The Grasberg mine article is more balanced, and should be cited and sumarized on this page. I'll get to it some day, but perhaps someone else will cleanup first (I hope ;-) Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 01:06, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name of page

The company's website does NOT have a capital "R" like this article does.

It has: Freeport-McMoran

What is the deal?

Actually, although the website does use lowercase 'r' in the HTML header title element, it certainly is uppercased in the logo, also on their website. And also when named in the body of the text. My guess? Lack of attention to detail on the part of their web people. But it's not a wiki, so I can't fix it for them. --J. Randall Owens | (talk) 22:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Operations percentages

Could someone who knows, explain or at least link to an explanation, what those percentages are after the locations in the Operations section? I suppose my best guess would be how much of the site is owned by F-M? --J. Randall Owens | (talk) 22:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
