Freeport Grasberg mine stays shut as search for 7 workers goes on
Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) said operations at its Grasberg copper-and-gold mine in Indonesia remain halted as crews search for seven contractors missing after a mud flow. The firm is clearing blocked access routes at the service level and working with local authorities. Grasberg accounts for a third of Freeport's copper output. Prolonged closure may lift global copper prices further.
