Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements in which FCX discusses its potential future performance. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical facts, such as plans, projections, or expectations relating to business outlook, strategy, goals or targets; global market conditions; ore grades and milling rates; production and sales volumes; unit net cash costs and operating costs; capital expenditures; operating plans; cash flows; liquidity; PT-FI’s financing, construction and completion of additional domestic smelting capacity in Indonesia in accordance with the terms of its special mining license (IUPK); extension of PT-FI’s IUPK beyond 2041; FCX’s commitment to deliver responsibly produced copper and molybdenum, including plans to implement and validate its operating sites under specific frameworks; execution of FCX’s energy and climate strategies and the underlying assumptions and estimated impacts on FCX’s business related thereto; achievement of 2030 climate targets and 2050 net zero aspiration; improvements in operating procedures and technology innovations; exploration efforts and results; development and production activities, rates and costs; future organic growth opportunities; tax rates; export quotas and duties; the impact of copper, gold and molybdenum price changes; the impact of deferred intercompany profits on earnings; mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates; final resolution of settlements associated with ongoing legal proceedings; debt repurchases and the ongoing implementation of FCX’s financial policy and future returns to shareholders, including dividend payments (base or variable) and share repurchases. The words “anticipates,” “may,” “can,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “targets,” “intends,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “to be,” “potential,” “assumptions,” “guidance,” “aspirations,” “future,” “commitments,” “pursues,” “initiatives,” “objectives,” opportunities,” “strategy” and any similar expressions are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements. The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable), and timing and amount of any share repurchases is at the discretion of the Board of Directors (Board) and management, respectively, and is subject to a number of factors, including maintaining FCX’s net debt target, capital availability, FCX’s financial results, cash requirements, global economic conditions, changes in laws, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by the Board or management, as applicable. The share repurchase program may be modified, increased, suspended or terminated at any time at the Board’s discretion. FCX cautions readers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated, expected, projected or assumed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that can cause FCX’s actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, supply of and demand for, and prices of the commodities FCX produces, primarily copper; price and availability of consumables and components FCX purchases as well as constraints on supply and logistics, and transportation services; changes in FCX’s cash requirements, financial position, financing or investment plans; changes in general market, economic, regulatory or industry conditions, including as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or potential global economic downturn or recession; reductions in liquidity and access to capital; changes in tax laws and regulations, including the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act; any major public health crisis; political and social risks, including the potential effects of violence in Indonesia, civil unrest in Peru, and relations with local communities and Indigenous Peoples; operational risks inherent in mining, with higher inherent risks in underground mining; mine sequencing; changes in mine plans or operational modifications, delays, deferrals or cancellations; production rates; timing of shipments; results of technical, economic or feasibility studies; potential inventory adjustments; potential impairment of long-lived mining assets; the Indonesia government’s extension of PT-FI’s copper concentrate export license after March 19, 2023; PT-FI’s ability to export and sell anode slimes; satisfaction of requirements in accordance with PT-FI’s IUPK to extend mining rights from 2031 through 2041; the Indonesia government’s approval of a deferred schedule for completion of additional domestic smelting capacity in Indonesia; discussions relating to the extension of PTFI’s IUPK beyond 2041; cybersecurity incidents; labor relations, including labor-related work stoppages and costs; the results of the PT-FI human health assessment to evaluate the potential impacts of tailings and mining waste, and compliance with applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations; weather- and climate-related risks; environmental risks, including availability of secure water supplies, and litigation results; FCX’s ability to comply with its responsible production commitments under specific frameworks and any changes to such frameworks and other factors described in more detail under the heading “Risk Factors” in FCX’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions upon which FCX’s forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after the date the forward-looking statements are made, including for example commodity prices, which FCX cannot control, and production volumes and costs or technological solutions and innovation, some aspects of which FCX may not be able to control. Further, FCX may make changes to its business plans that could affect its results. FCX cautions investors that it undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, notwithstanding any changes in its assumptions, changes in business plans, actual experience or other changes. Estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources are subject to considerable uncertainty. Such estimates are, to a large extent, based on metal prices for the commodities we produce and interpretations of geologic data, which may not necessarily be indicative of future results or quantities ultimately recovered. This presentation also includes forward-looking statements regarding mineral resources not included in proven and probable mineral reserves. A mineral resource, which includes measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources, is a concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade or quality, and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction. Such a deposit cannot qualify as recoverable proven and probable mineral reserves until legal and economic feasibility are confirmed based upon a comprehensive evaluation of development and operating costs, grades, recoveries and other material modifying factors. This presentation also includes forward-looking statements regarding mineral potential, which includes exploration targets and mineral resources but will not qualify as mineral reserves until comprehensive engineering studies establish legal and economic feasibility. Significant additional evaluation is required and no assurance can be given that the potential quantities of metal will be produced. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that estimated mineral resources or estimated mineral potential not included in mineral reserves will become proven and probable mineral reserves. This presentation also contains financial measures such as unit net cash costs per pound of copper, net debt and adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), which are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). As required by SEC Regulation G, FCX’s calculation and reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound of copper and net debt to amounts reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements are in the supplemental schedules of FCX’s 4Q22 and YE 2022 press release, which is available on FCX’s website, fcx.com. A reconciliation of amounts reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements to adjusted EBITDA is included on slide 38. For forward-looking non-GAAP measures FCX is unable to provide a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure because the information needed to reconcile these measures is dependent upon future events, many of which are outside of management’s control as described above. Additionally, estimating such GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation consistent with FCX’s accounting policies for future periods is extremely difficult and requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods and cannot be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures are estimated consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions. 2

20 Copper – Metal of the Future Critical to Global Decarbonization Source: International Copper Association See Cautionary Statement. Freeport is strategically positioned as a leading copper producer. Global Decarbonization is Expected to Drive Intensity of Copper Use More than 65% of the world’s copper is used in applications that deliver electricity Electric vehicles use up to four times more copper than internal combustion engines Copper consumption associated with electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies to grow rapidly Renewable energy technologies use four to five times more copper than fossil fuel power generation


 
S&P Global Copper Study Published in July 2022 21 Key takeaways from independent study led by Dan Yergin as project chairman • Copper — the “metal of electrification” — is essential to all energy transition plans • Copper demand is projected to grow from 25 million metric tons (MMt) today to about 50 MMt by 2035, a record-high level that will be sustained and continue to grow to 53 MMt by 2050 • Potential supply-demand gap is expected to be very large as the transition proceeds • Substitution and recycling will not be enough to meet the demands of electric vehicles (EVs), power infrastructure, and renewable generation • Unless massive new supply comes online in a timely way, the global goal of Net-Zero Emissions by 2050 will be short-circuited and remain out of reach


 
2022 ESG Highlights • Achieved the Copper Mark at all 11 of our eligible copper producing sites in North America, South America and Europe; PT-FI completed the assurance process and submitted its validation package • Signed letters of commitment for the new Molybdenum Mark for Climax and Henderson mines in Colorado • GHG reduction targets now collectively cover nearly 100 percent of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions; advanced Scope 3 inventory review • Progressed a study at PT-FI to evaluate the feasibility of replacing the coal- fired power plant in the future • Investments exceeded $170 million in our global communities • Completed independent, third-party Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA) for all 5 Arizona copper sites; PT-FI HRIA is in progress and currently expected to be completed in 2023 • Advanced implementation of the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management at Americas sites Note: New GHG Reduction targets are in addition to the 2030 Americas and 2030 PT-FI GHG emissions intensity reduction targets. For more information on FCX’s climate strategy, see our 2021 Climate Report at fcx.com/sustainability. To date, eleven FCX sites have been awarded the Copper Mark: Morenci, Cerro Verde, El Abra, Atlantic Copper, the Miami smelter and mine, the El Paso refinery and rod mill, Bagdad, Safford, Sierrita, Chino, and Tyrone. See Cautionary Statement. 22

38 Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation (1) Fourth-quarter 2022 primarily includes adjustments to reclamation liabilities at PT-FI ($116 mm) and charges for a proposed settlement related to legacy environmental litigation ($44 mm). The twelve months ended 12/31/2022 also includes net adjustments to environmental obligations ($22 mm) and net charges for contested matters at PT-FI ($20 mm). (2) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, lenders and others to evaluate companies’ performance, including, among other things, profitability before the effect of financing and similar decisions. Because securities analysts, investors, lenders and others use Adjusted EBITDA, management believes that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA affords them greater transparency in assessing our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, as different companies calculate such measures differently.
