Fluor Corp FLR stated that the Fluor Petrosea Joint Organization (FPJO) joint venture has been selected by PT Freeport Indonesia to install a new grinding mill at Grasberg copper and gold mining district in Papua, Indonesia. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The company noted the construction is scheduled to begin in 2021 and be completed in 2023.
