Grasberg Reserves/Resources Increased Again

New Orleans, LA (9/18) - Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold
(FCX) announced that aggregate proven + probable reserves and
geologic resources at its Grasberg copper-gold project, Papua
New Guinea, now total 3.15 billion tonnes containing 74.9 billion
pounds copper and 108 MM ounces gold. Proven + probable
reserves at year-end 1996 were reported at 2.01 billion tons
containing 52.7 MM pounds copper and 76.2 MM ounces gold.

The company expects to move approximately 200 MM tonnes
grading 1.86% eCu from geologic resources to proven + probable
reserves by year-end 1997 (2.2 billion pounds copper and 3.5 MM
ounces gold). These additions are to come principally from the
Kucing Liar deposit. A further 250 MM tonnes are expected to be
