Around the Company in Pictures: El Paso Continues Earth Day STEM Tradition ‘Our Power, Our Planet’ mboyle Mon, 05/11/2026 - 12:57 Post Image May 11, 2026 - Freeport’s El Paso operation recently marked Earth Day by bringing hands-on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) curriculum to area students. The site partnered with the local Ramona STEM Academy to host the annual event, extending an effort that has lasted more than 15 years. Built around the theme “Our Power, Our Planet,” the event brought together Freeport employees and more than 20 community partners to deliver a full day of hands-on STEM activities at the school. Hundreds of students participated, rotating through interactive exhibits, demonstrations and classroom activities. Rita Lloyd-Mills, Manager, Social Performance-Discontinued and Downstream Operations, said the event would not have been possible without the work of Freeport employees and other volunteers, who supported stations and engaged with students thro

El Abra Helps Bring Historic Photo Exhibit to Life mboyle Tue, 05/05/2026 - 10:29 Post Image May 5, 2026 - With longstanding support from Freeport’s El Abra operation in Chile, a photographic exhibit documenting the history and culture of the Calama region has opened at the Museum of Natural and Cultural History of the Atacama Desert. The Photographic Archive of the Desert features historical photographs dating to as early as 1900 depicting daily life in Calama and Alto El Loa near the El Abra operation. The exhibit is the culmination of several El Abra-supported projects that enabled the conservation, restoration and dissemination of hundreds of historical photographs and negatives now available for public viewing. The company also has financed the publication of two books featuring part of the photographic collection. “We believe responsible mining also means contributing to the preservation of the cultural heritage of the communities around us,” said Gonzalo Larroulet, Sustainabilit

Cerro Verde Receives U.S.–Peru Bicentennial Award for Flood Response mboyle Wed, 04/15/2026 - 09:54 Post Image April 15, 2026 – Freeport's Cerro Verde operation has received diplomatic recognition for its response to recent flooding in Peru’s Arequipa region, with officials highlighting its support for local communities. U.S. Ambassador Bernardo Navarro recently presented Cerro Verde with the U.S.–Peru Bicentennial Award for its emergency response earlier this year. Cerro Verde was commended for its rapid response, coordinated logistics and assistance to affected communities during the flooding in February and March. The award commemorates 200 years of diplomatic relations between the United States and Peru, recognizing the shared values that have defined their relationship since its establishment in 1826. It is given to partners that directly contribute to a safer, stronger and more prosperous relationship between the two nations. “Cerro Verde has a long tradition of decades of corpor

Cerro Verde Responds to Devastating Arequipa Floods mboyle Mon, 03/30/2026 - 10:10 Post Image March 30, 2026 - Team members at the company’s Cerro Verde operation in Peru responded quickly after severe rainstorms hit the region, providing heavy equipment, tools and food to support recovery efforts. Heavy rains affected Arequipa near the mine site from mid-February to March, with the most intense storms in late February. A particularly severe storm lasting more than an hour overwhelmed Arequipa’s flood control system, flooding the streets. Weeks of prior rainfall had already saturated the ground, contributing to flooding and mudslides. By the time the storms finally subsided, the impact was devastating—six people had died, approximately 100 families were forced from their homes and more than 600 houses sustained damage. Neighborhoods were blanketed with mud, rocks and debris. In response, Cerro Verde activated its assistance plan, delivering supplies to address urgent needs, coordinatin

Morenci Employee Achieves 50 Years with Perfect Safety Record mboyle Tue, 03/24/2026 - 10:06 Post Image March 24, 2026 - Working more than 50 years at a single mine site is rare. Achieving that milestone without a single safety incident is even more remarkable. Frank Delacruz, Support Equipment Operator II at the company’s Morenci site in Arizona, has done exactly that, building a career defined by consistency, care for others and personal responsibility. Throughout his career, Delacruz has demonstrated that safety excellence is not the result of a single action, but of thousands of everyday decisions. He attributes his safety record to following procedures, staying alert to changing and looking out for those around him. “Reaching 50 years of safe service with Freeport at Morenci is both humbling and deeply meaningful,” Delacruz said. “What began as a job became a career and a second home, grounded in a shared commitment to looking out for one another and returning home safely every da

Advanced Shovels Debut at Safford mboyle Mon, 03/02/2026 - 09:03 Post Image March 2, 2026 - The heavy equipment fleet at the company’s Safford, Arizona, site recently received some much-anticipated reinforcement as the site added two new larger shovels. The massive scoopers – P&H 4100XPC models - are Safford's first brand-new shovels, breaking a practice of refurbishing used machines from other Freeport properties. But these are not merely newer, cleaner, shinier versions of what’s already on the site. “One of the biggest differences with these new models is their AC (alternating-current) motors,” said Mike Guttierez, Supervisor, Mine Maintenance-Safford. “Our older 4100s have DC (direct-current) motors.” The AC system affords tighter shovel performance, resulting in improved operational efficiency. “AC motors provide smoother and more precise torque control than the DC machines,” said Michael Ryan, Supervisor, Technical/Electrical-Safford. “They are noticeably faster, and the cont

Instrumentation and First Pounds Placed on “Perfect Stockpile” in New Mexico mboyle Thu, 02/26/2026 - 10:50 Post Image February 26, 2026 - The team at Freeport’s Chino operation in New Mexico recently reached two important milestones in its effort to build the company’s most advanced leach stockpile to date. In January, headline instrumentation was installed at the North Lampbright Leach Stockpile, marking a critical step forward. Just days later, the new stockpile – known as the “perfect stockpile” – received its first leachable pounds. North Lampbright brings together years of operational insight into a design focused on stability, creating and maintaining optimal conditions, and providing early visibility into leaching performance. To support this objective, the newly installed instrumentation includes geomechanical piezo and pressure cells to monitor solution and thermal conditions within the stockpile, along with oxygen and temperature sensors, pregnant leach solution samplers and

Climax Makes History with 1,000-foot Directional Drill Through Rock mboyle Wed, 02/25/2026 - 10:38 Post Image February 25, 2026 - Freeport’s Climax operation recently completed a more than 1,000-foot directional drill through hard rock, marking an important step toward safer, permanent pit dewatering and future mine planning. For years, crews at the Colorado mine faced brutal weather and difficult access to reach pumps nearly 1,000 feet down in the pit to keep the generators fueled and the water flowing. Electrification of the dewatering process was identified as a solution, inspiring the team at Climax to get creative. “Directional drilling in hard rock is basically unheard of,” said Alyssa Smith, Senior Geologist-Climax. “We were essentially trying to thread a needle deep underground. It required constant checks, constant adjustments and trusting the process.” Directional drilling is a drilling method that allows a hole to be steered underground rather than drilled straight down.
