PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Freeport (NYSE: FCX) announced today that expert teams continue to work around the clock to locate seven PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) team members whose access routes in the Grasberg Block Cave were blocked following the previously reported September 8 mud flow incident.
Extensive efforts are ongoing to clear access routes to the service level of the mine where the seven contractors were working at the time of the incident. The wet material entered the mine through drawpoints in one of five production blocks and traveled to multiple lower mine levels. Additional time is required to safely remove the significant amount of material in the service level, a non-mining area.

In a conversation among Silver City Police Department Chief Freddie Portillo, SCPD Captain Antonio Carrillo and this author, on Sept. 8, 2025, Portillo explained the federal grant program, Stonegarden, and how the department handles the participation with the county as a sub-recipient to Grant County's award of the funding.
Portillo said the grant began to be shared with Grant County at the county's invitation last year in 2024, through a memorandum of understanding (MOU). The county has used the funding for about 15 years as part of its drug interdiction, as well as addressing human trafficking and violent criminals. The contract period they are working in currently began Jan.1, 2025, and ends June 30, 2026.
