Phoenix-based Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold ordered its Indonesian employees to stay home after 3 people were killed and 9 wounded on the road to its Grasberg mine in Papua.
China's demand for copper has changed global consumption patterns. Dundee Wealth Economics reports that China's share of global copper consumption rose from 13% in 2000 to 28.5% last year and 38% in the first quarter of 2009. [above, copper plates. Credit, Freeport McMoRan]
