# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Response from source CN65: disagree. I don't know what the figures are
for this mine, but if that is what they have forward sold, then it equates
to only 12.5 days production. This means they are unlikely be under much
pressure.

Subject: Re: [alpha] INSIGHT - INDONESIA - Freeport - CN65
As of June reporting - Freeport had 55 million pounds of copper sold
forward, most of which was due for delivery by end August. Uncertain if
they would roll these contracts, but maybe they did, but that is only
about $200mn impact. Meanwhile back in July the Indonesia workers went
on strike for 8 days and this cost Freeport 35 million pounds of lost
copper production and 60,000 oz of lost gold. Hence, I think we can
see that if this strike goes on for a long while it can quickly add up
in terms of lost production

**I have another new Indo source I want to test out on this issue and I
can also go back to this source. What are some specifics we're looking
at? This source is sending in an interesting question, not really
insight. We need to see if we can find out more.

Dear Jen,
In case you haven't heard:
Freeport Weighs Grasberg Strike Impact on Output, Shipments
Sept. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. is
assessing the
impact on production and deliveries at its Grasberg copper and gold
mine in
Indonesia after the union said 70 percent of workers started a
one-month strike
last night. About 8,000 employees at Grasberg, excluding workers from
contractors, joined the strike that started at midnight to demand wage
increases,
Juli Parorrongan, a labor union spokesman, said today. Freeport miners
are also
striking in Peru. We are disappointed that union workers decided to
implement an
illegal work stoppage, said Ramdani Sirait, a PT Freeport Indonesia
spokesman,
in a statement. The company has negotiated in a diligent good-faith
manner with
union representatives to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement.
Grasberg has
the worlds largest recoverable reserves of copper and the biggest
single gold
reserve, according to the Freeport website. Workers in Peru, Chile,
Bolivia and
Indonesia have gone on strike at copper, gold and zinc mines this
year, seeking
improved conditions and a bigger slice of record profits after metal
prices more
than doubled since the end of 2008. Copper for three-month delivery
advanced as
much as 1.1 percent to $8,727 a metric ton on the London Metal
Exchange today and
traded at $8,647.75 a ton. Strikes at Grasberg in Papua province 1,940
miles
(3,120 kilometers) east of Jakarta, and in Peru may widen a global
shortage of
copper estimated at 670,000 metric tons this year by Barclays Capital
and boost
prices of the metal.
The issue on this is how much of Freeport's production is forward sold?
If they have not forward sold much, then there is not a huge amount of
pressure, since prices will rise, and so marginal profits will increase,
marginally offsetting losses on fixed capital. if they have forward
sold their production, then there will be greater issues, and the
company will be under more pressure, unless the contracts have a force
majeure clause covering strikes.
