                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


June 13, 1997

To the Participants and Administrator of the
Cyprus Amax Minerals Company Savings Plan and Trust

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
with Fund Information and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits with Fund Information present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Cyprus Amax Minerals
Company Savings Plan and Trust (the "Plan") at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31,
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.  We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The additional information included in
Schedules I, II, and III is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is
not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is additional
information required by ERISA.  The Fund Information in the statement of net
assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather
than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net
assets available for benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and Fund
Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

              CYPRUS AMAX MINERALS COMPANY SAVINGS PLAN AND TRUST
              ---------------------------------------------------

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         -----------------------------


NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
- --------------------------------

The following description of the Cyprus Amax Minerals Company Savings Plan and
Trust (the "Plan" or the "Savings Plan") provides only general information.
Refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.

General
- -------

The Plan is a defined contribution plan maintained by Cyprus Amax for Cyprus
Amax salaried and hourly non-represented employees ("Eligible Employees" or
"Participants").  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").

Leveraged ESOP
- --------------

On February 8, 1990, the Plan was amended to include the features of a leveraged
employee stock ownership plan ("Leveraged ESOP").  The Plan purchased 4,245,810
shares of Cyprus common stock from Cyprus in return for a 20-year $95 million
promissory note bearing an interest rate of 9.75 percent.  The shares are held
as collateral under a pledge agreement and are released for allocation to
Participant accounts as principal and interest payments are made. Under the
amended Plan, shares released are used first to replace dividends earned on
allocated shares, and the remainder are allocated to Participants' accounts as
employer contributions (Note 8).  Employer contributions to the Plan, along with
dividends earned on both the allocated and unallocated shares, are used to fund
the debt service on the note.

Administration
- --------------

The Plan is administered by the Cyprus Amax Minerals Company Benefits Committee
(the "Plan Administrator"), a committee appointed by Cyprus Amax's Board of
Directors.  During 1996, Plan administrative expenses were paid by Cyprus Amax.

Enrollment
- ----------

Eligible Employees can enroll in the Plan during any month of the year.

Contributions
- -------------

Participants can make contributions of an amount up to sixteen percent of basic
compensation subject to applicable legal limits.  Cyprus Amax must contribute to
the Plan sufficient funds to meet any currently maturing debt obligations of the
Plan; however, the Company has stated its intention to continue to contribute an
amount equal to seventy-five percent of the first six percent of each
Participant's contribution ("Matchable Contribution").

Participant rollover contributions are permitted provided all Plan and legal
requirements are satisfied.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
                   -----------------------------
Vesting
- -------

Participants are immediately vested in their employee contributions and the
earnings attributable to those contributions.  All Participants are immediately
100 percent vested in the employer contributions to the Plan and the earnings
attributable to those contributions.

Loans
- -----

Participants may borrow from their Plan accounts.  Loans are paid in the form of
cash and may not exceed a Participant's vested account balance within specified
legal limits.  Loan interest rates are based on prime rate plus one percent as
determined on the first business day of the month preceding the month in which a
Participant's written loan request is received by the Plan Administrator.  Loan
terms generally vary from a minimum of six months to a maximum of five years
although certain loans grandfathered from predecessor plans may have a maximum
of fifteen years.

Loan repayments are made regularly through payroll deductions or, for
Participants not receiving a paycheck (e.g., on leave of absence), can be
delivered regularly to the Plan Administrator. A Participant may prepay a one-
time single sum of all of the outstanding loan balance.

Distributions
- -------------

Participants may withdraw all or a portion of vested contributions subject to
certain conditions as specified in the Plan document.

Participant Tax Status
- ----------------------

Participant contributions to the Plan may be deferred, at the election of the
Participant, for federal income tax purposes, subject to certain limitations.
Employer contributions and all earnings under the Plan are deferred for federal
income tax purposes.  The amounts deferred under the Plan may become subject to
federal income tax when withdrawn.  Participants may also choose to make after-
tax contributions to the Plan.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------------

Basis of Accounting
- -------------------

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis.

Valuation of Assets
- -------------------

Cyprus Amax and Amoco stock are valued at fair market value based on the quoted
market price on the balance sheet date.

Participant loans are valued at principal amount, which approximates fair market
value.

The remaining investments are valued at net asset value based on quoted market
prices.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
                   -----------------------------

Transfers of assets into the Plan are shown at fair market value.  Participant
cost is recorded as the cost of assets transferred into the Plan.  Assets
transferred out of the Plan are reported at market value with the difference
between cost and market reported as realized gains or losses.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS
- --------------------

Investment Options
- ------------------

Effective April 1, 1996, the Capital Appreciation Fund and the New America
Growth Fund were eliminated as investment options under the Plan. As of that
date, the following new investment options became available to Participants
under the Plan: the New Horizons Fund, the Science & Technology Fund, the Equity
Income Fund, and the Spectrum Growth Fund. On October 1, 1996, the balances
remaining in the Capital Appreciation Fund and the New America Growth Fund were
transferred to the Equity Income Fund and the New Horizons Fund, respectively.

Currently, Participants may elect to invest their contributions to the Plan in
Cyprus Amax common stock or the following T. Rowe Price funds:  a money market
fund (Prime Reserve Fund), a bond fund (Spectrum Income Fund), a portfolio of
guaranteed investment contracts, bank investment contracts and structured
investment contracts (a customized Stable Value Fund) and six equity funds
(Equity Index Fund, International Stock Fund, New Horizons Fund, Science &
Technology Fund, Equity Income Fund, and Spectrum Growth Fund).

As of December 31, 1996, the number of Participants who held assets in the
various investment options were as follows: 5,166 in Cyprus Amax common stock,
2,697 in the Prime Reserve Fund, 2,679 in the Equity Index Fund, 1,971 in the
International Stock Fund, 2,061 in the Spectrum Income Fund, 2,104 in the Stable
Value Fund, 2,692 in the New Horizons Fund, 739 in the Science & Technology
Fund, 2,025 in the Equity Income Fund, and 330 in the Spectrum Growth Fund.

Amoco Corporation common stock in the Common Stock Fund is held as an investment
but is not a current investment option. The Amoco Corporation common stock was
transferred from the Employee Savings Plan of Amoco Corporation and
Participating Companies in 1985 when Cyprus became an independent, publicly-
owned company and ceased to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amoco Corporation.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------

Shares of Cyprus Amax Minerals Company common stock allocated to participants
were 248,526 and 252,672 for 1996 and 1995, respectively. Dividend replacement
shares were allocated to all Participants who held allocated shares on the ex-
dividend date. The number of shares allocated as dividend replacement shares was
determined by the closing price of Cyprus Amax common stock on the dividend
payment date and amounted to 31,200 in 1996 and 23,421 in 1995. Additional
shares allocated to Participants as employer contributions based upon their
proportion of Matchable Contributions for the appropriate quarters were 185,411

$22.375 per share.

NOTE 9 - TAX STATUS
- -------------------

Cyprus Amax received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service as to the qualified status of the Plan on October 12, 1995. Since the
Plan continues to fulfill the requirements of a qualified plan, the trust which
forms a part of the Plan is not subject to tax. Accordingly, no provision for
federal or state income taxes has been provided.

NOTE 10 - PLAN AMENDMENTS
- -------------------------

On May 5, 1995, Cyprus Amax entered into an agreement with its affiliate, Amax
Gold Inc. ("AGI"). This agreement, which has an effective date of March 1, 1994,
states that both the Savings Plan and the Thrift Plan for Employees of Amax Gold
Inc. and its Subsidiaries will recognize the service of an employee transferred
from the other company for purposes of eligibility, vesting, and entitlement to
share in Company contributions.

Cyprus Amax restated its Plan document as of January 1, 1995, to reflect the
merger of the Cyprus Amax Minerals Company Thrift Plan for Salaried Employees
into the Plan as of December 31, 1994, and to make certain changes required by
the Internal Revenue Service for its favorable determination letter.

NOTE 11 - DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND FORM 5500
- ----------------------------------------------------------------

Gains (losses) on the sale of investments as reported in the statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits with fund information have been
determined on a participant level using the average cost method. For purposes of
the Department of Labor's Form 5500, gains (losses) on such sales have been
calculated based upon the market value at the beginning of the Plan year in
accordance with the requirements of the Form 5500.

In addition, in accordance with guidance issued by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, the Plan does not recognize as a liability amounts
elected to be withdrawn but not yet distributed as of year end. However, such
amounts must be included on the Form 5500. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995
there were no benefits payable due to timing of the distributions by the
Trustee.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


June 13, 1997

To the Participants and Administrator of the
Cyprus Amax Minerals Company Thrift Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
with Fund Information and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits with Fund Information present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Cyprus Amax Minerals
Company Thrift Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees (the "Plan") at December 31,
1996 and 1995, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the
year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.  We conducted our audit of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The additional information included in
Schedules I, II, and III is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is
not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is additional
information required by ERISA.  The Fund Information in the statement of net
assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather
than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net
assets available for benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and Fund
Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

NOTE 1 - Description of the Plan
- --------------------------------

The following description of the Cyprus Amax Minerals Company Thrift Plan for
Bargaining Unit Employees (the "Plan" or the "Bargaining Plan") provides only
general information.  Refer to the Plan document for a more complete description
of the Plan's provisions.

General
- -------
The Plan was established by AMAX Inc. ("AMAX") in 1965 for the benefit of
certain collective bargaining unit hourly employees of AMAX, its divisions and
its participating subsidiaries, who have completed one year of service and have
attained the age of 18 ("Eligible Employees" or "Participants").  Cyprus
Minerals Company ("Cyprus") and AMAX merged in November 1993, forming Cyprus
Amax Minerals Company ("Cyprus Amax" or the "Company").  Following the merger
the name of the Bargaining Plan was changed to the Cyprus Amax Minerals Company
Thrift Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees.  The Plan is subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA").

Administration
- --------------
The Plan is administered by the Cyprus Amax Minerals Company Benefits Committee
(the "Plan Administrator"), a committee appointed by Cyprus Amax's Board of
Directors.  During 1996, Plan administrative expenses were paid by Cyprus Amax.

Enrollment
- ----------
Eligible Employees can enroll in the Plan during any month of the year.

Contributions
- -------------
Participants may contribute a basic amount of 1% to 6% of compensation to the
Plan.  These basic contributions are made on an after-tax basis, a tax-deferred
basis, or a combination of the two.  Participants making basic contributions of
6% of compensation may make unmatched supplemental contributions up to an
additional 10% of compensation.  The Company contributes an amount to the Common
Stock Fund equal to 50% of each participant's basic contribution.

Participant rollover contributions are permitted provided all Plan and legal
requirements are satisfied.

Vesting
- -------
Participants are immediately vested in their employee contributions, the
earnings attributable to those contributions, and the earnings attributable to
employer contributions.  Participants are vested with respect to employer
matching contributions to the Plan at a rate of 25% after two years of service,
50% after three years of service, 75% after four years of service, and 100%
after five years of service.  Participants also become fully vested in employer
contributions upon their death, attainment of age 65, total and permanent
disability, permanent layoff, change in control, and/or Plan termination.

                   -----------------------------            

Forfeitures
- -----------
Participants who terminate employment before becoming fully vested forfeit the
non-vested portion of their Company match.  These forfeitures are used to reduce
the contributions required to be made by the Company in accordance with the
Plan.

Loans
- -----
Participants may borrow from their Plan accounts.  Loans are paid in the form of
cash and may not exceed a Participant's vested account balance within specified
legal limits.  Loan interest rates are based on prime rate plus one percent as
determined on the first business day of the month preceding the month in which a
Participant's written loan request is received by the Plan Administrator.  Loan
terms vary from a minimum of six months to a maximum of five years.

Loan repayments are made regularly through payroll deductions or, for
Participants not receiving a paycheck (e.g., on leave of absence), can be
delivered regularly to the Plan Administrator. A Participant may prepay a one-
time single sum of all of the outstanding loan balance.

Distributions
- -------------
Participants may withdraw all or a portion of vested contributions subject to
certain conditions as specified in the Plan document.

Participant Tax Status
- ----------------------
Participant contributions to the Plan may be deferred, at the election of the
Participant, for federal income tax purposes, subject to certain limitations.
Employer contributions and all earnings under the Plan are deferred for federal
income tax purposes.  The amounts deferred under the Plan may become subject to
federal income tax when withdrawn.  Participants may also choose to make after-
tax contributions to the Plan.

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- ---------------------------------------------------

Basis of Accounting
- -------------------
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis.

Valuation of Assets
- -------------------
Cyprus Amax stock is valued at fair market value based on the quoted market
price on the balance sheet date.

Participant loans are valued at principal amount, which approximates fair market
value.

The remaining investments are valued at net asset value based on quoted market
prices.

Transfers of assets into the Plan are shown at fair market value.  Assets
transferred out of the Plan are reported at market value with the difference
between cost and market reported as realized gains or losses.

NOTE 3 - Investments
- --------------------

Investment Options
- ------------------
Effective April 1, 1996, the Capital Appreciation Fund and the New America
Growth Fund were eliminated as investment options under the Plan.  As of that
date, the following new investment options became available to Participants
under the Plan:  the New Horizons Fund, the Science & Technology Fund, the
Equity Income Fund, and the Spectrum Growth Fund.  On October 1, 1996, the
balances remaining in the Capital Appreciation Fund and the New America Growth
Fund were transferred to the Equity Income Fund and the New Horizons Fund,
respectively.

Currently, Participants may elect to invest their contributions to the Plan in
Cyprus Amax common stock or the following T. Rowe Price funds:  a money market
fund (Prime Reserve Fund), a bond fund (Spectrum Income Fund), a portfolio of
guaranteed investment contracts, bank investment contracts and structured
investment contracts (Stable Value Fund), and six equity funds (Equity Index
Fund, International Stock Fund, New Horizons Fund, Science & Technology Fund,
Equity Income Fund, and Spectrum Growth Fund).  All Company contributions are
invested in Cyprus Amax common stock.

NOTE 5 - Unrealized Appreciation of Investments
- -----------------------------------------------

Net unrealized appreciation of investments amounted to $122,652 and $137,121 at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The change in net unrealized
appreciation resulted in a Plan loss of $14,469 in 1996.

NOTE 6 - Tax Status
- -------------------

Cyprus Amax received a favorable determination letter dated September 11, 1995,
from the Internal Revenue Service as to the qualified status of the Plan.  Since
the Plan continues to fulfill the requirements of a qualified plan, the Plan is
not subject to tax.  Accordingly, no provision for federal or state income taxes
has been provided.

NOTE 7 - Differences Between Financial Statements and Form 5500
- ---------------------------------------------------------------

Gains (losses) on the sale of investments as reported in the statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits with fund information have been
determined on a participant level using the average cost method. For purposes of
the Department of Labor's Form 5500, gains (losses) on such sales have been
calculated based upon the market value at the beginning of the Plan year in
accordance with the requirements of the Form 5500.

In addition, in accordance with guidance issued by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, the Plan does not recognize as a liability amounts
elected to be withdrawn but not yet distributed as of year end.  However, such
amounts must be included on the Form 5500.  As of December 31, 1996 and 1995
there were no benefits payable due to timing of the distributions by the
Trustee.
