Freeport flagged continued disruption from the September 2025 Grasberg incident, with mill throughput averaging 140,000 metric tons per day in Q3 2026.
Output remained below normalized rates, with throughput at about 67% of pre-incident levels during the quarter.
PTFI’s Eastern Java smelter restarted in late August 2026 following the suspension tied to the incident; ramp-up is proceeding.
Gold sales timing in Indonesia deferred about 60,000 ounces from Q3 2026 into Q4, weighing on by-product credits.
Consolidated unit net cash costs are expected about 5% above the July estimate of USD 2.00 per pound of copper.
