Freeport Indonesia says could seek arbitration over mining contract violations

Freeport-McMoRan Inc’s Indonesian unit said on Monday it hoped to resolve a dispute with the government over its mining contract, but reserved the right to start arbitration against the government and seek damages.

Freeport has submitted a notification to Indonesia’s mining ministry describing breaches and violations of its contract of work by the government, the company said.
