a.
Consolidated recoverable copper reserves included 3.3 billion pounds in leach stockpiles and 1.4 billion pounds in mill stockpiles.
b.
Consolidated reserves represented estimated metal quantities after reduction for joint venture partner interests at the Morenci mine in North America and the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia. Excluded from the table above were FCX’s estimated recoverable proven and probable reserves of 0.87 billion pounds of cobalt at Tenke and 308.5 million ounces of silver in Indonesia, South America and North America, which were determined using long-term average prices of $10 per pound for cobalt and $15 per ounce for silver.
c.
Net equity interest reserves represented estimated consolidated metal quantities further reduced for noncontrolling interest ownership. Excluded from the table above were FCX’s estimated recoverable proven and probable reserves of 0.48 billion pounds of cobalt at Tenke and 252.9 million ounces of silver in Indonesia, South America and North America.
