Item 5.  Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.  (FCX) previously reported its
investment in Rio Tinto Minera, S.A.  (RTM) using the equity method of
accounting because FCX anticipated reducing its interest below 50% within
one year of the initial investment in RTM.  FCX is now considering
alternative forms of financing, accordingly, the financial statements
included in this Form 8-K reflect its investment in RTM on a fully
consolidated basis for the nine months ended September 30, 1993.
