Where can I find the specific financial results for Freeport-McMoRan's second quarter of 2021?

The detailed second-quarter and six-month 2021 financial and operating results are available in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this 8-K filing.

What does it mean that the press release is 'furnished' and not 'filed'?

When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02 or 7.01, it means the company is providing it to the SEC for public dissemination but is not subject to the same liability under Section 18 of the Exchange Act as if it were 'filed'. Investors should still consider the information material but understand the specific legal implications for the company.

What kind of information can I expect in the accompanying presentation slides (Exhibit 99.2)?

The presentation slides are typically used for the company's earnings conference call. They often include a more visual and summarized overview of the financial results, operational highlights, key metrics, and management's commentary on market conditions and future outlook.

Does this 8-K filing contain any new guidance or outlook from FCX?

This 8-K filing itself does not contain new guidance. Any updated outlook or forward-looking statements would be found within the press release (Exhibit 99.1) and the presentation slides (Exhibit 99.2) that are furnished with this report.
