Fire at Freeport Indonesia's Gresik smelter, no casualties, company says
Oct 17, 2024 2:37 PM

JAKARTA, Oct 14 (Reuters) - A fire has broken out on

Monday in Freeport Indonesia's Manyar smelter in Gresik, East

Java province, a company spokesperson said, adding that fire

fighters are currently trying to put the blaze out.

The $3.7 billion copper smelter was completed in June and

was expected to produce first batch of output in September,

however due to water and steam leakage during an initial test

period, production will be delayed until November, Reuters

reported last month.

"A fire broke out at the PTFI smelter sulfuric acid

factory on Monday October 14 at 1745 (GMT+7)," Freeport

Indonesia spokesperson Katri Krisnati said, adding that no

casualties were reported.

The smelter has annual input capacity of 1.7 million

metric tons of copper concentrate, which could produce around

900,000 tons of copper cathode, 50 tons of gold and 210 tons of

silver a year.
