A fire has broken out on Monday in Freeport Indonesia’s Manyar smelter in Gresik, East Java province, a company spokesperson said, adding that fire fighters are currently trying to put the blaze out, according to Reuters. The $3.7B copper smelter was completed in June and was expected to produce first batch of output in September, however due to water and steam leakage during an initial test period, production will be delayed until November, Reuters reported last month.
