Freeport Announces Temporary Suspension of Mining Operations in Grasberg Minerals District Freeport announced that on September 8, 2025 at approximately 10 p.m. local time in Central Papua, Indonesia, a large flow of wet material from a production drawpoint occurred at one of five production blocks in the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine. The incident blocked access to certain areas within the mine, restricting evacuation routes for seven team members. The location of the workers is known, and they are believed to be safe. Crews are working to clear the area for a safe and expeditious evacuation. In parallel, activities are underway to provide support to the workers. At the Grasberg Block Cave operation, ore is mined using remotely operated equipment; however, the material flow from this event blocked access routes where the affected team members were engaged in mine development activities. All other personnel are confirmed safe. Mining operations in the Grasberg minerals district have been temporarily suspended to prioritize the safe evacuation of the seven contractor workers.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3.0% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (7.2% average weekly change). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3.0% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (Mex$6.6m sold). Declared Dividend • Jun 28

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Mexican stocks, typically moving 5.7% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Feb 19
