Prior filing excerpt

If PT-FI does not complete the construction of a new smelter in Indonesia by December 21, 2023, or fulfill its defined fiscal obligations to the Indonesia government as set forth in the IUPK, the IUPK will likely not be extended from 2031 to 2041, and we would be unable to mine all of PT-FI’s ore reserves in the Grasberg minerals district, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial position. Operational risks Our mining operations are subject to operational risks that could adversely affect our business and our underground mining operations can be particularly dangerous. Our mines are very large in scale and, by their nature are subject to significant operational risks, some of which are outside of our control, and many of which are not covered fully, or in some cases even partially, by insurance.

Additionally, although several vaccines for COVID-19 have been approved, there are risks that these vaccines will not be effective against variants of the virus and that these vaccines may not be accepted or widely available in the areas in which we operate due to shortages or other issues with distribution. A major outbreak of COVID-19 at any of our operating sites, and particularly at PT-FI’s remote operating site, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Actions taken by governmental authorities and third parties to contain and mitigate the risk of spread of COVID-19 may have an adverse impact on our business. For example, in mid-March 2020, the Peru government issued a Supreme Decree and declaration of a National Emergency in its efforts to contain the outbreak of COVID-19, and subsequently extended the order through May 10, 2020.
