The complex in Central Papua province is targeting a return to “full capacity” by early 2028, Freeport Indonesia President Director Tony Wenas said in a statement dated Thursday. That’s roughly in line with a target of end-2027 confirmed by Freeport-McMoRan Inc. — Freeport Indonesia’s minority shareholder — on April 23.
