                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


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
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
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, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1998, 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 conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of Assets
Held for Investments, Loans or Fixed-Income Obligations in Default and
Reportable Transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  The fund information in the statements 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.  These supplemental schedules and fund information are
the responsibility of the Plan's management.  The supplemental schedules and
fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audits 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 ("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
- --------------

In August 1998, the Board of Directors approved the elimination of the Leveraged
ESOP of the Company's existing savings plan and the adoption of a replacement
employer matching contribution. Beginning in the third quarter of 1998, Cyprus
Amax contributed Cyprus Amax Common Stock to the plan at 50 percent of the first
6 percent of base pay contributed by each participant.  Prior to the third
quarter 1998, the Leveraged ESOP feature was used by the Savings Plan.

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 Amax common stock from Cyprus Amax in return for a 20-year $95
million promissory note bearing an interest rate of 9.75 percent.  The shares
were held as collateral under a pledge agreement and were released for
allocation to Participant accounts as principal and interest payments were made.
Under the amended Plan, shares released were used first to replace dividends
earned on allocated shares, and the remainder were allocated to Participants'
accounts as employer contributions (Note 8) prior to the third quarter of 1998.
Employer contributions to the Plan, along with dividends earned on both the
allocated and unallocated shares, were used to fund the debt service on the
note.

When the Leveraged ESOP was dissolved as of July 1, 1998, Cyprus Amax purchased
the suspense shares (2,150,815), and the Savings Plan used the proceeds to repay
the loan to Cyprus Amax.

At December 31, 1998 the Leveraged ESOP Fund contains an ending net assets
available for benefits balance that represents all shares released and allocated
to participants.

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 1998, Plan administrative expenses were paid by Cyprus Amax.

                                      -1-

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

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.  Prior
to July 1, 1998, Cyprus Amax contributed to the Plan sufficient funds to meet
any currently maturing debt obligations of the Plan; however, the Company also
contributed an amount equal to seventy-five percent of the first six percent of
each Participant's contribution ("Matchable Contribution").  Effective July 1,
1998, Cyprus Amax began contributing an amount equal to fifty percent of the
first six percent of each participant's contribution (Note 10).

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

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.

Use of Estimates
- ----------------

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

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.

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.  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 (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, 1998, the number of Participants who held assets in the
various investment options were as follows: 4,171 in Cyprus Amax Common Stock
Fund, 2,167 in the Prime Reserve Fund, 2,586 in the Equity Index Fund, 1,657 in
the International Stock Fund, 1,693 in the Spectrum Income Fund, 1,702 in the
Stable Value Fund, 2,253 in the New Horizons Fund, 1,232 in the Science &
Technology Fund, 1,951 in the Equity Income Fund, and 614 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 1998, $267 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 141,987 and 248,794 for 1998 and 1997, 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 49,550 in 1998 and 38,824 in 1997.  Additional
shares allocated to Participants as employer contributions based upon their
proportion of Matchable Contributions for the appropriate quarters were 92,274
and 188,093 in 1998 and 1997, respectively.  A portion of the shares allocated
for 1997 (47,489 shares) was released by the employer contribution made on
January 13, 1998, which was reflected as a receivable at December 31, 1997.

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.  The Plan
has been amended since receiving the determination letter.  However, the Plan
administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently
designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code.  Accordingly, no provision for federal or state
income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements. The Plan is
now within its remedial amendment period for recent changes in applicable law
(e.g., Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997,
Retirement Protection Act of 1994 (GATT), and the Uniformed Services Employment
and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994) and that it is anticipated that the Plan
will be further amended to the extent necessary to comply with such laws and
will be submitted on a timely basis to the IRS for a determination letter as to
the Plan's continued tax qualified status.

NOTE 10 - Plan Amendments
- -------------------------

Cyprus Amax amended and restated the Plan in its entirety effective as of
January 1, 1997, in order to (1) make Plan design changes with respect to its
participant loan program and participant-directed investments of Plan accounts,
(2) incorporate numerous amendments previously adopted with respect to the Plan,
and (3) reflect the applicable provisions of the Small Business Job Protection
Act of 1996, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, and the Uniformed Services
Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994.

As permitted under the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, Cyprus Amax amended the Plan
effective as of January 1, 1998, in order to increase the involuntary cash-out
amount from $3,500 to $5,000.

In connection with the then anticipated sale of several subsidiaries, Cyprus
Amax amended the Plan, effective as of January 1, 1998, in order to permit (1)
the distribution of accounts to participants who continue in employment with an
entity unrelated to Cyprus Amax following a sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of a trade of business or a sale of the stock of a subsidiary or
stock in accordance with Section 401(k) (10) of the [Code/Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended] and (2) with respect to participants affected by such
subsidiary sales who did not request a

distribution of their Plan account balances, to continue to make monthly
installment payments of any outstanding plan loan they may have had at the time
of such sale, rather than have such loan become immediately due and payable in
full.

Effective as of July 1, 1998 (as stated in Note 1 regarding the Leveraged ESOP),
the Plan was amended to redesign the employer matching contribution feature and
make such other changes as necessary to reflect the actions by the Board of
Directors of Cyprus Amax to cancel the loan agreement pursuant to which the Plan
borrowed $95 million from Cyprus Amax and the related elimination of the
leveraged employee stock ownership component of the Plan. As a result, Cyprus
Amax began making a quarterly matching contribution to the Plan in cash, in an
amount equal to 50% of participant's pre-tax and after-tax contributions, up to
the first 6% of their base pay contributed to the Plan. Such employer matching
contribution will be used to purchase shares of Cyprus Amax common stock, which
shares of stock will then be allocated to participants' accounts.

In connection with the then impending sale by Cyprus Amax of all of the stock of
Cyprus Amax Coal Company (the "Coal Company") to RAG International Mining GmbH,
an unrelated third party ("RAG"), the Plan was amended, effective as of the
closing date of the stock sale transaction, to exclude the Coal Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries from participation in the Plan following the
consummation of the sale of the Coal Company to RAG.

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, 1998 the Plan had
$1,220,696 benefits payable due to timing of distributions by the Trustee. As of
December 31, 1997 there were $424,860 benefits payable due to timing of
distributions by the Trustee.

NOTE 12 - Subsequent Events
- ----------------------------

As indicated in Note 10, on June 30, 1999, Cyprus Amax sold all of the stock of
its subsidiary, the Coal Company, to RAG. As a part of the stock sale and
purchase transaction, Cyprus Amax and RAG agreed that the account balances of
the employees of the Coal Company would be transferred, in a trust-to-trust
transfer, to the 401(k) plan sponsored by RAG.

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
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
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, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets
available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998, 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 conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of Assets
Held for Investments, Loans or Fixed-Income Obligations in Default and
Reportable Transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  The fund information in the statements 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.  These supplemental schedules and fund information are
the responsibility of the Plan's management.  The supplemental schedules and
fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audits 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.

                   THRIFT PLAN FOR BARGAINING UNIT EMPLOYEES

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


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 1998, 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 16% 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.  The Company contributes an amount to the
Common Stock Fund equal to 50% of the fixed 6% of each participant's
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.
<PAGE>

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

Forfeitures
- -----------
Participants who terminate employment before becoming fully vested forfeit the
non-vested portion of their employer 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 the 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 repayment 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.

Use of Estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

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.

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

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

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 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 (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.

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

The cost of investments sold or transferred is determined on a Participant level
by the average cost method.

NOTE 5 - Unrealized Appreciation/(Depreciation) of Investments
- --------------------------------------------------------------

Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments amounted to $198,620
and $83,064 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The change in net
unrealized appreciation resulted in a Plan gain of $115,557 in 1998.

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.  The
Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.  However, the
Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently
designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code.  Accordingly, no provision for federal or state
income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

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, 1998 the Plan had
no benefits payable due to timing of the distributions by the Trustee.  As of
December 31, 1997 the Plan had $74,838 benefits payable due to timing of the
distributions by the Trustee.

NOTE 8 - Subsequent Events
- --------------------------

Cyprus Amax will be liquidating its interest in Amax Metals Recovery in January
2000.  The plan consists solely of the hourly Amax Metals Recovery employees.
Upon liquidation of the interest, the participants in the Plan will be allowed
to maintain their investments in the Plan and pay off any loans outstanding.
Cyprus Amax does not intend to terminate the plan at this time.

NOTE 9 - Transactions with Parties in Interest
- ----------------------------------------------

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by T. Rowe Price.
T. Rowe Price is the Plan trustee and recordkeeper as defined by the Plan.
Therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest.
