Cautionary Statement
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Cautionary Statement
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements concerning the proposed transaction, its financial and business impact,
management’s beliefs and objectives with respect thereto, and management’s current expectations for future operating and
financial performance, based on assumptions currently believed to be valid. Forward-looking statements are all statements
other than statements of historical facts. The words “anticipates,”
“may,”
“can,”
“plans,”
“believes,”
“estimates,”
“expects,”
“projects,”
“intends,”
“likely,”
“will,”
“should,”
“to be,”
and any similar expressions or other words of similar meaning are
intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements. It is uncertain whether the events anticipated will
transpire, or if they do occur what impact they will have on the
results of operations and financial condition of FCX or of the
combined company.  These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those anticipated, including but not limited to the ability of the parties to satisfy the conditions
precedent and consummate either or both of the proposed transactions, the timing of consummation of either or both of the
proposed transactions, the ability of the parties to secure regulatory approvals in a timely manner or on the terms desired or
anticipated, the ability of FCX to integrate the acquired operations, the ability to implement the anticipated business plans
following closing and achieve anticipated benefits and savings, and the ability to realize opportunities for growth.  Other
important economic, political, regulatory, legal, technological,
competitive and other uncertainties are identified in the
documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) by FCX, Plains Exploration & Production Company
and McMoRan Exploration Co. from time to time, including their Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K and other documents filed in connection with the proposed transactions.  The
forward-looking statements including in this presentation are made only as of the date hereof.  FCX undertakes no obligation
to update the forward-looking statements included in this presentation to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
The SEC requires oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves that a company has
demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing
economic and operating conditions. Beginning with year-end reserves for 2009, the SEC permits oil and gas companies, in
their filings with the SEC, to disclose probable and possible reserves, as such terms are defined by the SEC. We use certain
phrases and terms in this presentation, such as "gross unrisked potential”
and “reserve potential," which the SEC's guidelines
prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. “Gross unrisked potential”
and “reserve potential”
do not take into account
the certainty of resource recovery, which is contingent on exploration success, technical improvements in drilling access,
commerciality and other factors, and are therefore not indicative of expected future resource recovery and should not be
relied upon. We urge you to consider closely the disclosure of proved reserves included in McMoRan Exploration Co.’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
