Freeport-McMoRan said on February 18, 2026 that it entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Indonesia government to extend PT Freeport Indonesia's operating rights in the Grasberg minerals district for the life of the resource.
The company said it will transfer a 12% interest in PTFI to government interests in 2041 at no cost. The acquiring party would reimburse the company for its pro-rata costs, based on book value, for investments that benefit the period after 2041. It said it will maintain its current PTFI ownership interest of 48.76% through 2041 and will hold about 37% beginning in 2042.
The company said that under the MOU, PTFI will increase support for communities in Papua, including financial support for a new hospital and 2 medical educational facilities. It also said PTFI will increase exploration spending and advance studies to identify and develop long-term resources, and will continue to prioritize local sales of refined copper, precious metals, sulfuric acid and other products.
The company said the extension and the other agreed terms are subject to the Indonesia government issuing an amended IUPK, and that PTFI plans to expeditiously complete its extension application. The company cited delays in Indonesia government approvals, or failure to obtain them, as factors that could cause actual results to differ.
