Freeport Indonesia Smelter, currently being developed in the Java Integrated Industrial Estate (JIIPE) in Gresik, East Java on a plot of land spanning 100 hectares, is PTFI’s second copper concentrate refining and processing facility, that is built as part of PTFI’s commitment to comply with the IUPK terms.

Freeport Indonesia Smelter is designed to have a copper concentrate processing capacity of 2 million tons per year, making this smelter the largest copper processing site in the world. The processing output of the Freeport Indonesia Smelter will be added to the processing capacity of the existing smelter facility, PT Smelting, which has a processing capacity of 1 million tons of copper concentrate per year. Thus, after the Freeport Indonesia Smelter starts operating, PTFI will be able to process 3 million tons of copper concentrate per year. 

PT Freeport Indonesia and the Indonesian Government will continue to work together, to ensure that our smelter can distribute the benefits of copper worldwide. As copper emerges as the metal of the future,  which will lead us to a better life.
