Freeport-McMoRan owns stakes in 10 copper mines, led by its 49% ownership of the Grasberg copper and gold operations in Indonesia, 55% of the Cerro Verde mine in Peru, and 72% of Morenci in Arizona. It sold around 1.1 million metric tons of copper (its share) in 2025, making it the one of the world's largest copper miners by volume.

Part of Critical Minerals & Mining · core · 5y thesis
Physical buildouts require metals and mined inputs that can become supply constraints. The theme connects minerals exposure to AI, power, defense, and energy transition themes without treating every miner as the same asset.
Other assets exposed to the same themes as FCX — a cross-sector view, not a correlation or forecast.
What would make this thesis wrong, and where the near-term downside sits. Plain reads, not forecasts.
Invalidation analysis is deferred to v2 and will use contribution-weighted headwind thresholds.
