                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


June 24, 1998

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 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 Thrift Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees ("the Plan") at December 31,
1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
ended December 31, 1997, 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 audits. We conducted our audits 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 audits were 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 the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
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.
Schedules I, II, and III and the 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 1997, 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, retirement, total and
permanent disability, permanent layoff, change in control, and/or Plan
termination.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                   -----------------------------            
                                        
Forfeitures
- -----------

Participants who terminate employment before becoming fully vested forfeit the
non-vested portion of their Company match. 

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.

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 made 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 5 - UNREALIZED APPRECIATION/(DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------

Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments amounted to $83,064
and $122,652 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The change in net
unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) resulted in a Plan loss of $39,588 in
1997.

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 - PLAN AMENDMENTS
- ------------------------

Cyprus Amax amended its Plan document as of January 1, 1997 to comply with IRS
Regulations regarding the transfer of assets from the Amax Inc. sponsored money
purchase pension plan, which was subsequently terminated and merged into the
Bargaining Plan. The amendment states that distributions prior to an employee's
retirement, death, disability, or severance from employment are not available
with respect to assets transferred to the Savings Plan from the Amax Inc. money
purchase pension plan.

NOTE 8 - 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, 1997 the Plan had
$74,838 benefits payable due to timing of the distributions by the Trustee.  As
of December 31, 1996 there were no benefits payable due to timing of the
distributions by the Trustee.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

June 24, 1998


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, 1997 and 1996, and
the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31,
1997, 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 audits.  We conducted our audits 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 audits were 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 the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
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.
Schedules I, II, and III and the 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 ("Cyprus Amax")
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 1997, 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
pre-tax and/or after-tax 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 and employer contributions
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.

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.

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

Transfers of assets into the Plan are made 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
- ------------------


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).  All employer contributions are
invested in Cyprus Amax Common Stock.


As of December 31, 1997, the number of Participants who held assets in the
various investment options were as follows: 4,653 in Cyprus Amax common stock,
2,541 in the Prime Reserve Fund, 2,772 in the Equity Index Fund, 1,951 in the
International Stock Fund, 1,942 in the Spectrum Income Fund, 1,947 in the Stable
Value Fund, 2,642 in the New Horizons Fund, 1,121 in the Science & Technology
Fund, 2,180 in the Equity Income Fund, and 584 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.

NOTE 7 - TRANSFER OF ASSETS TO OTHER PLANS
- ------------------------------------------


During 1997, $587,272 was transferred to the Equatorial Mining Company savings
plan. This amount represents balances held by former Cyprus Mineral Park
employees.


NOTE 8 - ALLOCATION OF CYPRUS AMAX STOCK HELD IN LEVERAGED ESOP FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------

Shares of Cyprus Amax Minerals Company common stock allocated to participants
were 248,794 and 248,526 for 1997 and 1996, 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 38,824 in 1997 and 31,200 in 1996.  Additional
shares allocated to Participants as employer contributions based upon their
proportion of Matchable Contributions for the appropriate quarters were 188,093
and 185,411 in 1997 and 1996, respectively.  A portion of the shares allocated
for 1997 (47,489 shares) was released by the employer contribution made on
January 13, 1998, which is reflected as a receivable at December 31, 1997.  The
portion of shares allocated for 1996 which was reflected as a receivable at
December 31, 1996, was 47,850 shares.


All shares were allocated to Participants at their original cost to the Plan of
$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
- -------------------------


Cyprus Amax amended its Plan document as of January 1, 1997 to comply with IRS
Regulations regarding the transfer of assets from the Amax Inc. sponsored money
purchase pension plan, which was subsequently terminated and merged into the
Savings Plan. The amendment states that distributions prior to an employee's
retirement, death, disability, or severance from employment are not available
with respect to assets transferred to the Savings Plan from the Amax Inc. money
purchase pension plan.


In addition, Cyprus Amax restated its Plan document as of January 1, 1997 to
change the timing of a loan default to 120 days.  This change will permit the
loan default provision to better coordinate with the ability of a participant to
delay his distribution until the calendar quarter's KSOP contribution has been
allocated.

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, 1997 the Plan had
$424,860 benefits payable due to timing of distributions by the Trustee.  As of
December 31, 1996 there were no benefits payable due to timing of distributions
by the Trustee.
