The company is the world\'s largest producer of molybdenum, is a major copper producer and operates the world\'s largest gold mine, the Grasberg mine in Papua, Indonesia.

Freeport Sulphur Company was founded July 12, 1912, by the eldest son of Svante Magnus \"E.M.\" Swenson, banker Eric Pierson Swenson, with a group of investors, to develop sulfur mining at Bryan Mound salt dome, along the US Gulf Coast.
