earlier comment

I wonder what the use of these ratings is and why the largest gold mine in the world and a very large cause of controversy in Papua is rated as of 'low' importance... Bever 213.10.149.151 21:46, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

There is no mention of Jim Bob Moffet CEO of the largest gold mine in the world either. See www.austinchronicle.com/issues/dispatch/2005-09-23/pols_feature.html

There seems to be some confusion in the article between the "Grasberg Mine" and other Freeport-McMoRan assets as to my knowledge the Grasberg produces Gold, Copper, and Molybdenum-- not silver. -SA --Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.6.150.145 (talk) 00:27, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Note, this is not the "highest open pit mine in the world" Two mines I have worked at are higher (Kumtor in Kyrgyzstan, and Refugio in Chile) Many other Chilean mines are higher than Grasburg --Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.201.35.202 (talk) 08:31, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Grasberg Ownership

As far as I can ascertain, Rio Tinto still owns 11.9% of Grasberg, but this is not entirely reflected in Freeport-McMoRan's disclosures:

POV problem in Environment section

Our article presently states "However, the OPIC report was later publicly released [6] and exposed gross misrepresentations by Freeport", cited to a dead link at the Austin Chronicle, a free "alternative newsweekly". I have no experience with this publication, but most alternative weeklies (in my experience) aren't reliable sources, and "exposed gross misrepresentations" certainly sounds POV. This claim needs a verifiable, WP:reliable source or it should be removed. -- Pete Tillman (talk) 18:21, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Have updated the link with a working archive.org link to the original PDF (the report itself is by EnviroSearch International, not Austin Chronicle). Tomtefarbror (talk) 20:25, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Ownership/Rio Tinto

This article (about the Norwegian Pension Fund blacklisting the owner(s) of the mine) states that the Rio Tinto Group owns the mine together with Freeport. I'd like to stick this in, but I'm not entirely sure how to do this and what to revise where. Any business majors around? Drmies (talk) 23:51, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Rio Tinto has a 40% stake in the mine.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 05:10, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

It's actually not quite that simple. From Rio's website:

Grasberg Grasberg, located in the province of Papua in Indonesia, is one of the world's largest copper and gold mines in terms of ore reserves and production. It is owned and operated by Freeport Indonesia (PTFI), the principal and 91 per cent owned subsidiary of US based FreeportMcMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX). The Government of Indonesia owns the remaining nine per cent of PTFI. Rio Tinto has a joint venture with FCX giving us a 40 per cent share of production above specific levels until 2021, and 40 per cent of all production after 2021.

This is not inconsistent with the way Freeport describes it on its own website:

We own 90.64% of PT Freeport Indonesia, the principal operating subsidiary in Indonesia, including 9.36% owned through its wholly owned subsidiary, PT Indocopper Investama. The Government of Indonesia owns the remaining 9.36% of PT Freeport Indonesia.'

Hope that helps. ^Bongo_matic 12:56, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Fixing broken link to Environment Impact Report

One of the references is to the Indonesian Forum for Environment (Walhi)'s report on the environmental impact of the Grasberg mine. The link is entitled "Detailed 2006 report on environmental effects of mine; includes discussion of related violations of Indonesian law". That document has been moved by Walhi to a new address.

The link comes from an Indonesian language page (which also has a link to an Indonesian language version of the report). -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.77.113.2 (talk) 14:14, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Largest?

The lead sentence says that Grasberg is the largest gold mine and 3rd largest copper mine in the world, but this may mean a number of different things. Possibilities: metal production rate, cumulative historic metal production, surface area, or excavated volume. Does anyone know what this sentence means? Thanks.

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

• http://www.mining-technology.com/projects/grasbergopenpit/specs.html

  Triggered by \bmining-technology\.com\b on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.--cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 20:05, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
