Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation&#146;s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the FCX certificate of incorporation
includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of FCX&#146;s directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to FCX or its
stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3)&nbsp;under section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of this provision, FCX&#146;s ability or that of FCX&#146;s stockholders to
successfully prosecute an action against a director for breach of his or her duty of care is limited. However, this provision does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission based upon a director&#146;s
breach of his or her duty of care. The Commission has taken the position that this provision will have no effect on claims arising under the federal securities laws. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the FCX certificate of incorporation provides for mandatory indemnification rights, subject to limited exceptions, to any
director or executive officer who (because of the fact that he or she is or was FCX&#146;s director or officer) is involved in a legal proceeding of any nature. These indemnification rights include reimbursement for expenses incurred by FCX&#146;s
director or officer in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding according to applicable law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indemnification provisions in
the FCX certificate of incorporation and by-laws may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of FCX&#146;s directors and executive officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">FCX also provides insurance from commercial carriers against some liabilities incurred by FCX&#146;s directors and officers. </P>

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents, which have been filed
by Freeport-McMoRan Inc. ("
FCX
," the "
Company
" or the "
Registrant
") with the Commission, are incorporated herein by reference:
(a) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as amended, filed pursuant to Section 13 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "
Exchange Act
");
(b) All other reports filed by the Company
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Annual Report referred to in (a); and
(c) The description of the Company's Common Stock included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A/A filed with the
Commission on August 10, 2015 under the Exchange Act, including any amendment thereto or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All reports and other documents filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act
subsequent to the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all securities offered have been sold or that deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall, except to the
extent otherwise provided by Regulation S-K or any other rule promulgated by the Commission, be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statements
contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference shall be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other document subsequently filed or incorporated by reference
herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, information furnished under Items 2.01 and 7.01 of any Current Report on Form 8-K, including exhibits related

Item 4.

Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the FCX certificate of incorporation
includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of FCX's directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to FCX or its
stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) under section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (4) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.
As a result of this provision, FCX's ability or that of FCX's stockholders to
successfully prosecute an action against a director for breach of his or her duty of care is limited. However, this provision does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission based upon a director's
breach of his or her duty of care. The Commission has taken the position that this provision will have no effect on claims arising under the federal securities laws.
In addition, the FCX certificate of incorporation provides for mandatory indemnification rights, subject to limited exceptions, to any
director or executive officer who (because of the fact that he or she is or was FCX's director or officer) is involved in a legal proceeding of any nature. These indemnification rights include reimbursement for expenses incurred by FCX's
director or officer in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding according to applicable law.
The indemnification provisions in
the FCX certificate of incorporation and by-laws may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of FCX's directors and executive officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
FCX also provides insurance from commercial carriers against some liabilities incurred by FCX's directors and officers.
Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)     To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:
(i)     To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)     To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective Registration Statement;
(iii)     To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
Provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.
(2)     That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
II-3
(3)     To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)     The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated
by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
