Oct 5 (Reuters) - Miner Freeport said on Sunday

that all seven workers who went missing after a mud-flow

disaster at Indonesia's Grasberg copper and gold mine have been

confirmed dead, following the discovery of five more bodies.

Around 800,000 metric tons of wet material flooded the mine

on September 8, trapping seven workers.

Operations at the Grasberg mine have been halted for nearly

a month, and Freeport-McMoRan ( FCX ) has warned of lower consolidated

copper and gold sales in the third quarter.

Freeport said it is advancing its investigation into the

cause of the incident and is coordinating closely with

Indonesian government authorities to assess the event and future

operational plans.
