          This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D filed on May 22, 
1995, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on June 1, 1995, by each of 
The RTZ Corporation PLC and RTZ Indonesia Limited with respect to the 
Class A Common Stock of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc. (the 
"Schedule 13D"), as follows.  Terms used herein have the meaning set 
forth in the Schedule 13D.

(a)   Item 3 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph 
      to the end thereof:

                The total consideration for the 2,400,000 shares 
         of FCX Class A Common Stock purchased by RTZI from FTX on 
         July 5, 1995 is $50,160,000.  The funds for this purchase 
         were made available to RTZI by RTZ from RTZ's working 
         capital.

(b)   Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraphs 
      to the end thereof:

                According to a press release issued by FTX, on 
         30, 1995, FTX redeemed $373,000,000 aggregate principal 
         amount of 6.55% Notes, representing all 6.55% Notes 
         outstanding on that date and, in connection with such 
         redemption, issued 19,900,000 shares of FTX Common Stock 
         to holders of 6.55% Notes who elected to convert such 
         6.55% Notes in lieu of redemption.

                Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (i) RTZI had 
         received the Option (which, under certain circumstances, 
         as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, was required to 
         be exercised) to acquire from FTX prior to the Spin-Off 
         up to 3,588,517 additional shares of FCX Class A Common 
         Stock at $20.90 per share, and (ii) under certain 
         circumstances set forth in the Purchase Agreement, FTX 
         could require that RTZI purchase additional shares of FCX 
         Class A Common Stock at $20.90 per share, up to a maximum 
         number based on the redemption price for any 6.55% Notes 
         redeemed by FTX.

                Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated July 3, 
         1995, between FTX and FCX, on the one hand, and RTZ and 
         RTZI, on the other hand, the parties agreed that RTZI 
         would purchase from Parent 2,400,000 shares of FCX 
         Class A Common Stock at a purchase price of $20.90 per 
         share and that such purchase would terminate and 
         constitute satisfaction of all obligations of RTZI to 
         purchase from FTX, and all obligations of FTX to sell to 
         RTZI, shares of FCX Class A Common Stock pursuant to the 
         Purchase Agreement.  On July 5, 1995, RTZI purchased such 
         2,400,000 shares of FCX Class A Common Stock from FTX.

(c)   Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as 
      follows:

         ITEM 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

                (a)   As of July 5, 1995, RTZ and RTZI 
         beneficially owned 23,931,100 shares of Class A Common 
         Stock, representing 11.8% of all shares of FCX Common 
         Stock outstanding and 28.3% of the shares of FCX Class A 
         Common Stock outstanding.  (Such calculation is based on 
         84,680,708 shares of FCX Class A Common Stock issued and 
         outstanding as of July 5, 1995, and 202,590,031 shares of 
         FCX Common Stock issued and outstanding as of July 5, 

<PAGE>



         1995, which information was provided by FCX.)  Of such 
         84,680,708 shares of FCX Class A Common Stock 
         beneficially owned by RTZ and RTZI, 23,931,100 shares are 
         directly owned by RTZI.

                (b)   RTZI has the power, and RTZ may be deemed to 
         share the power, to vote and dispose of the 23,931,100 
         shares of FCX Class A Common Stock.

                (c)   Except for the purchase of 21,531,100 shares 
         of FCX Class A Common Stock on May 12, 1995, the receipt 
         on May 2, 1995 of the Option to purchase 3,588,517 shares 
         of FCX Class A Common Stock, the termination of the 
         Option, and the purchase of 2,400,000 shares of FCX 
         Class A Common Stock on July 5, 1995, as set forth 
         herein, and the other potential transactions provided for 
         in the Purchase Agreement, no transactions in shares of 
         FCX Class A Common Stock were effected during the past 60 
         days by RTZI, RTZ or any person listed on Schedule I.  To 
         the knowledge of RTZ and RTZI, none of the persons listed 
         on Schedule I beneficially owns any shares of FCX Class A 
         Common Stock.

                (d)   No other person is known by RTZ or RTZI to 
         have the right to receive or the power to direct the 
         receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale 
         of, any shares of FCX Class A Common Stock beneficially 
         owned by them.

(d)   Item 7 is hereby amended by adding the following to the end 
      thereof:

         (6)   Letter agreement, dated July 3, 1995, between 
               Freeport-McMoRan Inc., and Freeport-McMoRan Copper 
               & Gold, Inc., on the one hand and The RTZ 
               Corporation PLC and RTZ Indonesia Limited, on the 
               other hand.
