# Exploring Career Opportunities at PT Freeport Indonesia: A Global Mining Leader
PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) stands as a cornerstone of the global mineral industry, operating as a vital affiliate of Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) and the state-owned Mining Industry Indonesia (MIND ID). Our core mission revolves around the extraction and processing of high-grade ore, producing premium concentrates that are rich in copper, gold, and silver. These essential materials are supplied to international markets and prioritized for domestic processing through our collaboration with PT Smelting.
## Operational Excellence in Papua’s Highlands
Our operations are situated in the rugged and remote Sudirman Mountain range within the Mimika Regency of Papua, Indonesia. This region is home to the world-renowned Grasberg mineral district, recognized globally as one of the most significant copper and gold deposits ever discovered. As we conclude the final phases of our open-pit mining operations, PTFI is aggressively advancing a series of long-term, large-scale underground mining projects. These subterranean developments are critical to sustaining our production capacity and ensuring the continued supply of essential minerals as we transition away from open-pit extraction.
