What Happened?
On September 9, 2025, Freeport disclosed it was suspending mining activities at its Grasberg Block Cave operation in Indonesia, after “a large flow of wet material” trapped seven workers.
On this news, Freeport’s stock price fell $2.77, or 5.9%, to close at $43.89 per share on September 9, 2025, thereby injuring investors.
Then, on September 24, 2025, Freeport provided an update on the incident, disclosing that two of the trapped team members “were regrettably fatally injured[.]” Meanwhile, “extensive efforts” remained “ongoing in the search for [the five] team members who [remained] missing.”
On this news, Freeport’s stock price fell $7.69, or 17%, to close at $37.67 per share on September 24, 2025.
Then, on September 25, 2025, before market hours, Bloomberg published an article stating that the “halt in production at the giant Grasberg copper mine in Indonesia looks set to strain the fractious relationship between [Freeport] and its host nation, at a time when the Jakarta government was already looking to take greater control.” The article specified that “[the] state controls 51% of the local entity – after a lengthy battle over ownership – but officials have sporadically continued to demand an increased share. That clamor may now intensify.”
On this news, Freeport’s stock price fell $2.33, or 6.2%, to close at $35.34 on September 25, 2025, thereby injuring investors further.
On September 28, 2025, a news organization focusing on Indonesia, published an article entitled “Freeport Landslide was Preventable, Not Just a Natural Disaster, Says Expert.” The article quoted an expert as saying “this danger is not new and should have been anticipated from the beginning[.]”
