NOTE: When the quarter end forward pricing is above the average quarterly spot price, FCX's consolidated quarterly copper realization can be expected to be above the
quarterly average spot pricing. Conversely, the quarterly copper realization can be expected to be below the quarterly spot price average if quarter end forward curve pricing
is below the quarterly average spot price. Quarterly copper realizations by region may vary from the consolidated average.
