Item 1. Financial Statements.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (U.S.). Therefore, this information should be read in conjunction with Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.’s (FCX) consolidated financial statements and notes contained in its 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported. With the exception of certain adjustments associated with the acquisition of Phelps Dodge Corporation (Phelps Dodge), all such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.

As further discussed in Note 2, on March 19, 2007, FCX completed its acquisition of Phelps Dodge. First-quarter 2007 financial results include Phelps Dodge’s results beginning March 20, 2007. Additionally, Phelps Dodge had an international wire and cable business, Phelps Dodge International Corporation (PDIC), which FCX sold on October 31, 2007. As a result of the sale, Phelps Dodge’s first-quarter 2007 operating results have been restated to remove PDIC from continuing operations and report PDIC as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income (see Note 3).

On March 19, 2007, Phelps Dodge became a wholly owned subsidiary of FCX. The estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the results of Phelps Dodge’s operations are included in FCX’s consolidated financial statements beginning March 20, 2007.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” with FCX as the accounting acquirer. In the acquisition, each share of Phelps Dodge common stock was exchanged for 0.67 of a share of FCX common stock and $88.00 in cash. As a result, FCX issued 136.9 million shares and paid $18.0 billion in cash to Phelps Dodge stockholders for total consideration of $25.8 billion.

In accordance with the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price paid was determined at the date of the public announcement of the transaction and was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the closing date of March 19, 2007. In valuing acquired assets and assumed liabilities, fair values were based on, but were not limited to: quoted market prices, where available; the intent of FCX with respect to whether the assets purchased were to be held, sold or abandoned; expected future cash flows; current replacement cost for similar capacity for certain fixed assets; market rate assumptions for contractual obligations; and appropriate discount rates and growth rates. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill. A decline in copper or molybdenum prices from those used to estimate the fair values of the acquired assets could result in impairment to the carrying amounts assigned to inventories; mill and leach stockpiles; property, plant and equipment; and goodwill. At the date of acquisition of Phelps Dodge, price projections used to value the assets acquired ranged from a near-term price of $2.98 per pound for copper and $26.20 per pound for molybdenum to a long-term average price of $1.20 per pound for copper and $8.00 per pound for molybdenum.

A summary of the final purchase price allocation as of March 19, 2007, follows (in billions):

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of Phelps Dodge was $6.2 billion, which primiarily related to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for the difference between the assigned values and the tax bases of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.  FCX allocated goodwill to the individual mines it believes have contributed to the excess purchase price and also included consideration of the mines’ potential for future growth (see Note 10 for the allocation of goodwill to FCX's reportable segments).

Pro Forma Financial Information.  The following pro forma information assumes that FCX acquired Phelps Dodge effective January 1, 2007. The most significant adjustments relate to the purchase accounting impacts on the carrying values of acquired metal inventories (including mill and leach stockpiles) and property, plant and equipment using March 19, 2007, metal prices and assumptions (in millions, except per share data):

The above pro forma consolidated information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be indicative of the results that would actually have occurred, or the results expected in future periods, had the events reflected herein occurred on the dates indicated.

On October 31, 2007, FCX sold its international wire and cable business, PDIC, for $735 million, which resulted in a net loss of $14 million ($9 million to net income) for transaction-related costs. The transaction generated after-tax proceeds of approximately $650 million (net proceeds of $597 million after taxes, transaction-related costs and PDIC cash).

As a result of the sale, the operating results of PDIC have been removed from continuing operations in the consolidated statements of income. Selected financial information related to discontinued operations for the period March 20, 2007, through March 31, 2007, follows (in millions):

The components of net periodic benefit cost for pension and postretirement benefits (first-quarter 2007 included Phelps Dodge’s plans for the period March 20, 2007, through March 31, 2007) follow (in millions):

The increase in service and interest costs and the expected return on plan assets resulted primarily from the impact of Phelps Dodge for a full three months in first-quarter 2008 compared with only 12 days in first-quarter 2007.

FCX’s basic net income per share of common stock was calculated by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The following is a reconciliation of net income and weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating diluted net income per share (in millions, except per share amounts):

Outstanding stock options with exercise prices greater than the average market price of FCX’s common stock during the period are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share of common stock. FCX’s convertible instruments are also excluded when including the conversion of these instruments increases reported diluted net income per share. No amounts were excluded for first-quarter 2008. Excluded amounts

were approximately one million stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $63.76 in first-quarter 2007.

FCX’s first-quarter 2008 income tax provision from continuing operations resulted from taxes on international operations ($579 million) and U.S. taxes ($150 million). The difference between FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate of approximately 33 percent for first-quarter 2008 and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35 percent primarily was attributable to a U.S. benefit for percentage depletion and an international tax rate differential, partially offset by withholding taxes on earnings from Indonesia and South America mining operations and a U.S. foreign tax credit limitation.

FCX’s first-quarter 2007 income tax provision from continuing operations resulted from taxes on earnings at international operations ($504 million), partially offset by a tax benefit from losses in the U.S. ($46 million). The first-quarter 2007 income tax provision primarily related to the operations of PT Freeport Indonesia and also included $31 million associated with Phelps Dodge’s earnings for the 12-day period ending March 31, 2007. The difference between FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate of approximately 43 percent for first-

quarter 2007 and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35 percent primarily was attributable to withholding taxes incurred in connection with earnings from Indonesia mining operations.

Interest expense excludes capitalized interest of $22 million in first-quarter 2008 and $7 million in first-quarter 2007.

Fair Value Measurements. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements under U.S. GAAP but rather establishes a common definition of fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. In February 2008, FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2, which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets or liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. Effective January 1, 2008, FCX adopted SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis. This partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our financial reporting and disclosures as FCX’s financial assets are measured using quoted market prices, or Level 1 inputs. FCX is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its financial reporting and disclosures for pension and postretirement related financial assets and nonfinancial assets or liabilities not valued on a recurring basis (at least annually).

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No. 161 amends the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities contained in SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” Under SFAS No 161, entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and related interpretations and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. SFAS No. 161 encourages, but does not require disclosure for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 will not affect FCX’s accounting for derivative financial instruments; however, FCX is currently evaluating the impact on its related disclosures.

FCX has a regional approach to the management of its mining operations. FCX has organized its mining operations geographically into three primary operating divisions – North America mining, South America mining and Indonesia mining. Notwithstanding this geographic structure, FCX internally reports information on a mine by mine basis. Therefore, in accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” FCX concluded that its operating segments include individual mines. Operating segments that meet SFAS No. 131 thresholds are reportable segments. FCX has revised its segment disclosures for first-quarter 2007 to conform with current year presentation. Further discussion of the reportable segments included in FCX’s primary operating divisions, as well as FCX’s other reportable segment – Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining, follows.

North America Mining.  North America mining operations are comprised of copper operations from mining through rod production, molybdenum operations from mining through conversion to chemical and metallurgical products, and the marketing and sale of both product lines. FCX has six operating copper mines in North America – Morenci, Bagdad, Sierrita and Safford in Arizona and Chino and Tyrone in New Mexico, as well as one operating molybdenum mine – Henderson in Colorado. The North America mining division includes the Morenci copper mine, Rod & Refining operations and Molybdenum operations as reportable segments.

Morenci. The Morenci open-pit mine, located in southeastern Arizona, primarily produces copper cathodes and copper concentrates. In addition to copper, the Morenci mine produces molybdenum concentrates as a by-product. FCX owns an 85 percent undivided interest in Morenci via an unincorporated joint venture.

Rod & Refining. The Rod & Refining segment consists of copper conversion facilities, including a refinery, rod mills and a specialty copper products facility. This segment processes copper produced at FCX’s North America mines and purchased copper into copper anode, cathode, rod and custom copper shapes. At times this segment refines copper and produces copper rod and shapes for customers on a toll basis. Toll arrangements require the tolling customer to deliver appropriate copper-bearing material to FCX’s facilities for processing into a product that is returned to the customer, who pays FCX for processing its material into the specified products.

Molybdenum. The Molybdenum segment includes FCX’s wholly owned Henderson molybdenum mine in Colorado, related conversion facilities and a technology center. The Henderson underground mine produces high-purity, chemical-grade molybdenum concentrates, which are typically further processed into value-added molybdenum chemical products. This segment is an integrated producer of molybdenum, with mining, roasting and processing facilities that produce high-purity, molybdenum-based chemicals, molybdenum metal powder and metallurgical products, which are sold to customers around the world. This segment also includes a sales company that purchases molybdenum from Henderson and FCX’s North America and South America copper mines and sells it to third parties. In addition, at times this segment roasts and/or processes material on a toll basis. Toll arrangements require the tolling customer to deliver appropriate molybdenum-bearing material to FCX’s facilities for processing into a product that is returned to the customer, who pays FCX for processing its material into the specified products. This segment also includes a technology center whose primary activity is developing new engineered products and applications.

The Molybdenum segment also includes FCX’s wholly owned Climax molybdenum mine in Colorado, which has been on care-and-maintenance status since 1995. In December 2007, FCX announced a $500 million project to restart the Climax mine with start up expected in 2010.

Other North America Mining Operations. Other North America mining operations include FCX’s other operating southwestern U.S. copper mines – Bagdad, Sierrita, Safford, Chino and Tyrone. In addition to copper, the Bagdad, Sierrita and Chino mines produce molybdenum, gold and silver, and the Sierrita mine also produces rhenium. Other North America mining operations also include the Miami copper mine, which FCX is undertaking a project to restart; the Miami smelter, which processes our North America concentrates and provides a significant source of sulfuric acid for the various North America leaching operations; and a sales company, which functions as an agent to purchase and sell copper from the North America mines and the Rod & Refining operations and also purchases and sells any copper not sold by the South America mines to third parties.

South America Mining.  FCX has four operating copper mines in South America – Cerro Verde in Peru, and Candelaria, Ojos del Salado and El Abra in Chile. These operations include open-pit and underground mining, sulfide ore concentrating, leaching, solution extraction and electrowinning (SX/EW). The South America mining division includes the Cerro Verde copper mine as a reportable segment.

Cerro Verde. The Cerro Verde open-pit copper mine, located near Arequipa, Peru, produces copper cathodes and copper concentrates. In addition to copper, the Cerro Verde mine produces molybdenum concentrates. FCX owns a 53.56 percent interest in Cerro Verde.

Other South America Mining Operations. Other South America mining operations include FCX’s Chilean copper mines – Candelaria, Ojos del Salado and El Abra – which include open-pit and underground mining, sulfide ore concentrating, leaching and SX/EW operations. In addition to copper, the Candelaria and Ojos del Salado mines produce gold and silver. FCX owns an 80 percent interest in both the Candelaria and Ojos del Salado mines, and owns a 51 percent interest in the El Abra mine.

Indonesia Mining.  Indonesia mining includes PT Freeport Indonesia’s Grasberg copper and gold mining operations and PT Puncakjaya Power’s power-generating operations (after eliminations with PT Freeport Indonesia). FCX owns 90.64 percent of PT Freeport Indonesia, including 9.36 percent owned through PT Indocopper Investama, and the remaining 9.36 percent is owned by the Government of Indonesia. In 1996, FCX established an unincorporated joint venture with Rio Tinto, which covers PT Freeport Indonesia’s mining operations in Block A and gives Rio Tinto, through 2021, a 40 percent interest in certain assets and future production exceeding specified annual amounts of copper, gold and silver. After 2021, Rio Tinto will have a 40 percent interest in all production from Block A.

Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining.  Atlantic Copper, FCX’s wholly owned smelting unit in Spain, smelts and refines copper concentrates and markets refined copper and precious metals in slimes.

Other. Intersegment sales by the Indonesia and South America mines are based on similar arms-length transactions with third parties at the time of the sale. Intersegment sales of any individual mine may not be reflective of the actual prices ultimately realized because of a variety of factors, including additional processing, timing of sales to unaffiliated customers and transportation premiums.

FCX allocates certain operating costs, expenses and capital to the operating divisions and individual segments. However, not all costs and expenses applicable to a mine or operation are allocated. All federal and state income taxes are recorded and managed at the corporate level with the exception of foreign income taxes, which are generally recorded and managed at the applicable mine or operation. Accordingly, the following segment information reflects management determinations that may not be indicative of what the actual financial performance of each operating division or segment would be if it was an independent entity.

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. as of March 31, 2008, the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 29, 2008, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and which report included an explanatory paragraph for the Company’s adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” effective January 1, 2007; Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” effective January 1, 2006; Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-6, “Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred during Production in the Mining Industry,” effective January 1, 2006; and SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R,” effective December 31, 2006. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

We are one of the world’s largest copper, gold and molybdenum mining companies in terms of reserves and production. One of our principal assets is the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia, which contains the largest single recoverable copper reserve and the largest single gold reserve of any mine in the world based on the latest available reserve data provided by third-party industry consultants.

We own 90.64 percent of PT Freeport Indonesia, including 9.36 percent owned through our wholly owned subsidiary, PT Indocopper Investama. The Government of Indonesia owns the remaining 9.36 percent of PT Freeport Indonesia. PT Freeport Indonesia operates under an agreement, called a Contract of Work, with the Government of Indonesia. The Contract of Work allows us to conduct exploration, mining and production activities in a 24,700-acre area called Block A located in Papua, Indonesia. Under the Contract of Work, PT Freeport Indonesia also conducts exploration activities (which had been suspended, but resumed in 2007) in an approximate 500,000-acre area called Block B in Papua. All of PT Freeport Indonesia’s proven and probable mineral reserves and current mining operations, including the Grasberg minerals district, are located in Block A.

We also operate Atlantic Copper S.A. (Atlantic Copper), a wholly owned subsidiary, located in Spain. Atlantic Copper’s operations involve the smelting and refining of copper concentrates and the marketing of refined copper and precious metals in slimes. Additionally, PT Freeport Indonesia owns a 25 percent interest in PT Smelting, an Indonesian company, which operates a copper smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia.

Phelps Dodge became our wholly owned subsidiary on March 19, 2007. In the acquisition, each share of Phelps Dodge common stock was exchanged for 0.67 of a share of FCX common stock and $88.00 in cash. As a result, we issued 136.9 million shares and paid $18.0 billion in cash to Phelps Dodge shareholders for total consideration of $25.8 billion. The results of Phelps Dodge’s operations are included in our consolidated financial statements beginning March 20, 2007.

Accounting for the Acquisition. The acquisition of Phelps Dodge was accounted for under the purchase method as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” with FCX as the accounting acquirer. In accordance with the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their fair values on the acquisition date of March 19, 2007. In valuing acquired assets and assumed liabilities, fair values were based on, but were not limited to: quoted market prices, where available; our intent with respect to whether the assets purchased were to be held, sold or abandoned; expected future cash flows; current replacement cost for similar capacity for certain fixed assets; market rate assumptions for contractual obligations; and appropriate discount rates and growth rates. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets has been recorded as goodwill. At March 31, 2008, the carrying value of goodwill associated with our acquisition of Phelps Dodge totaled approximately $6.0 billion (refer to Note 2 for further discussion of goodwill and to Note 10 for the allocation of goodwill to our reportable segments).

The following table summarizes the impacts of purchase accounting fair value adjustments on first-quarter 2008 and 2007 operating income and income from continuing operations, which are primarily associated with increases in the carrying values of Phelps Dodge’s property, plant and equipment and metal inventories, including mill and leach stockpiles (in millions):

The graphs below are intended to illustrate the movements in metals prices during the periods presented. World metal prices for copper have fluctuated significantly from 1992 through April 2008, with the London Metal Exchange (LME) spot copper price varying from a low of $0.60 per pound in 2001 to record highs above $4.00 per pound in March 2008. World gold prices have also fluctuated widely from 1998 through April 2008 from a low of approximately $250 per ounce in 1999 to record highs above $1,000 per ounce in March 2008. During the period from 1998 through April 2008, Metals Week Molybdenum Dealer Oxide prices have ranged from a low of $2.00 per pound in 1998 to a high of $40.00 per pound in 2005. Copper, gold and molybdenum prices are affected by numerous factors beyond our control as described further in our “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

*  Excludes Shanghai stocks, producer, consumer and merchant stocks.

The graph above presents LME spot copper prices and reported stocks of copper at the LME and New York Commodity Exchange (COMEX) through April 30, 2008. Since 2003 global demand has exceeded supply, evidenced by the decline in exchange warehouse inventories. Combined LME and COMEX stocks of approximately 123,000 metric tons at March 31, 2008, remain at historically low levels, representing less than three days of global consumption. Disruptions associated with strikes, unrest and other operational issues resulted in low levels of inventory throughout 2006 and 2007. During first-quarter 2008, copper prices were strong, with LME copper prices ranging from $3.02 per pound to record highs above $4.00 per pound and averaging $3.52 per pound. Future copper prices may continue to be volatile and are expected to be influenced by demand from China, economic activity in the United States (U.S.) and other industrialized countries, the timing of the development of new supplies of copper, production levels of mines and copper smelters and the level of direct participation by investors. We consider the current underlying supply and demand conditions in the global copper markets to be positive for our company and continue to pursue opportunities to expand production. The LME spot price closed at $3.93 per pound on April 30, 2008.

Gold prices continue to be supported by increased investment demand for gold, ongoing geopolitical tensions, a weak U.S. dollar, inflationary pressures and reduced mine supply. During first-quarter 2008, gold prices ranged from approximately $847 per ounce to record highs above $1,000 per ounce and averaged approximately $925 per ounce. On April 30, 2008, London gold prices closed at approximately $871 per ounce.

Molybdenum markets have been strong in recent years with growing demand and limited supply. During first-quarter 2008, molybdenum prices ranged from $32.00 per pound to $33.80 per pound and averaged $33.24 per pound. The Metals Week Molybdenum Dealer Oxide price closed at $32.45 per pound on April 28, 2008.

Consolidated revenues, operating cash flows and net income vary significantly with fluctuations in the market prices of copper, gold and molybdenum, sales volumes and other factors. Based on projected consolidated sales volumes (excluding purchased copper and molybdenum) for 2008 and assuming an average price of $3.75 per pound of copper, $900 per ounce of gold and $30 per pound of molybdenum for the remainder of 2008, our consolidated operating cash flow would exceed $6.5 billion in 2008, including net reductions for estimated working capital requirements totaling $1.1 billion. Each $0.20 per pound change in copper prices for the balance of the year would have an approximate $450 million impact on 2008 operating cash flows.

Consolidated revenues include the sales of copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals and metal-related products by our North and South America mining operations, our Indonesia mining operation’s sale of copper concentrates, which also contain significant quantities of gold and silver, and the sale by Atlantic Copper of copper anodes, copper cathodes, and gold in anodes and slimes. Consolidated revenues for first-quarter 2008 were approximately $3.4 billion higher than first-quarter 2007. The increase in revenues reflects higher overall copper and molybdenum sales volumes because of a full three months of activity from Phelps Dodge operations, compared with only 12 days in first-quarter 2007. Higher first-quarter 2008 revenues also reflect higher copper, gold and molybdenum prices. These favorable factors were partly offset by lower copper and gold sales volumes at our Indonesia mining operations associated with mining lower-grade ore during first-quarter 2008 (refer to “Indonesia Mining” for further discussion).
