Celebrate Good Times

PT Freeport Indonesia celebrated its 55th anniversary last April with a series of celebrations that included employees and the surrounding communities.

After having to celebrate its last two anniversaries virtually during the height of the pandemic, PTFI recently was able to commemorate its 55th year with a large gathering of employees and community members.

Clockwise from top left, a live music performance by Indonesian singer Sandhy Sondoro and featuring Tony Wenas, President Director-PTFI, kicked off the celebration at the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine.
