SCHEDULE 13D

Item 1.  Security and Issuer

This statement constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D relating to the shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share ("Shares"), issued by Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (the "Issuer"), and hereby amends the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 27, 2015 (collectively, the "Schedule 13D"), to furnish the additional information set forth herein. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of, in the aggregate, 100,000,000 Shares (including Shares underlying forward contracts). Of such Shares, 7,596,637 Shares were purchased by the Reporting Persons collectively for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $115.9 million. Of the remaining Shares: (i) 35,319,115 Shares may be deemed beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as a result of their having entered into forward contracts with respect to such number of Shares at a forward price of $17.00 per share (the "$17.00 Forwards"), for an aggregate forward price of approximately $600.4 million, plus a financing charge; (ii) 39,766,690 Shares may be deemed beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as a result of their having entered into forward contracts with respect to such number of Shares at a forward price of $15.00 per share (the "$15.00 Forwards"), for an aggregate forward price of approximately $596.5 million, plus a financing charge; and (iii) 17,317,558 Shares may be deemed beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as a result of their having entered into forward contracts with respect to such number of Shares at a forward price of $9.00 per share (the "$9.00 Forwards"), for an aggregate forward price of approximately $155.9 million, plus a financing charge. In each case, the forward price is subject to adjustment to account for any dividends or other distributions declared by the Issuer.  In addition, the Reporting Persons paid the counterparty to the $17.00 Forwards an aggregate amount of approximately $27.0 million upon entering into such forward contracts and the counterparty to the $9.00 Forwards an aggregate amount of approximately $26.0 million upon entering into such forward contracts.  The counterparty to the $15.00 Forwards paid the Reporting Persons an aggregate amount of approximately $164.6 million upon entering into such forward contracts.

The source of funding for the Shares held by the Reporting Persons (including Shares underlying forward contracts) was the general working capital of the respective purchasers.  The Shares held by the Reporting Persons are held in margin accounts together with other securities. Such margin accounts may from time to time have debit balances. Part of the purchase price of such Shares was obtained through margin borrowing.

Items 5(a) and (b) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended by replacing them in their entirety with the following:

(a) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 100,000,000 Shares (including Shares underlying forward contracts), representing approximately 8.80% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares (based upon the 1,136,126,358 Shares stated to be outstanding as of September 17, 2015 by the Issuer in the Issuer's Prospectus Supplement to Prospectus dated August 10, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) on September 18, 2015).

(b) High River has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to 20,000,001 Shares (including Shares underlying forward contracts). Each of Hopper, Barberry and Mr. Icahn has shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to such Shares. Icahn Master has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to 32,513,628 Shares (including Shares underlying forward contracts). Each of Icahn Offshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn has shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to such Shares. Icahn Partners has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to 47,486,371 Shares (including Shares underlying forward contracts). Each of Icahn Onshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn has shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to such Shares.

Each of Hopper, Barberry and Mr. Icahn, by virtue of their relationships to High River (as disclosed in Item 2), may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the "Act") the Shares which High River directly beneficially owns. Each of Hopper, Barberry and Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes. Each of Icahn Offshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn, by virtue of their relationships to Icahn Master (as disclosed in Item 2), may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) the Shares which Icahn Master directly beneficially owns. Each of Icahn Offshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes. Each of Icahn Onshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn, by virtue of their relationships to Icahn Partners (as disclosed in Item 2), may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) the Shares which Icahn Partners directly beneficially owns. Each of Icahn Onshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes.

Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D is herby amended by the addition of the following:

(c) The following table sets forth all transactions with respect to Shares effected since August 27, 2015, the date of the initial Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons in respect of the Shares. Except as otherwise noted below, all such transactions were purchases of Shares effected in the open market, and the table includes commissions paid in per share prices.

(1)	Represents Shares to be acquired pursuant to a forward contract.  These forward contracts expire on March 24, 2017.

(2)

Represents a forward price of $9.00 per Share, plus the amount per Share the Reporting Person paid the counterparty to the forward contract upon entering into such forward contract.  The forward price is subject to adjustment to account for any dividends or other distributions declared by the Issuer. In addition, the Reporting Person will pay a financing charge to the counterparty to such forward contract.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:

On the dates listed in Item 5(c), certain of the Reporting Persons entered into forward contracts providing for the purchase by such Reporting Persons of an aggregate of: (i) 35,319,115 Shares at a forward price of $17.00 per share, for an aggregate forward price of approximately $600.4 million, plus a financing charge; (ii) 39,766,690 Shares at a forward price of $15.00 per share, for an aggregate forward price of approximately $596.5 million, plus a financing charge; and (iii) 17,317,558 Shares at a forward price of $9.00 per share, for an aggregate forward price of approximately $155.9 million, plus a financing charge.  In each case, the forward price is subject to adjustment to account for any dividends or other distributions declared by the Issuer.  In addition, the Reporting Persons paid the counterparty to the $17.00 Forwards an aggregate amount of approximately $27.0 million upon entering into such forward contracts and the counterparty to the $9.00 Forwards an aggregate amount of approximately $26.0 million upon entering into such forward contracts.  The counterparty to the $15.00 Forwards paid the Reporting Persons an aggregate amount of approximately $164.6 million upon entering into such forward contracts.

The forward contracts provide for physical settlement, with the Reporting Person retaining the right to elect cash settlement.  The forward contracts do not give any Reporting Persons direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over the Shares to which such contracts relate.

The Reporting Persons sold, in the over the counter market, European-style put options referencing an aggregate of 12,000,000 Shares, which expired on September 18, 2015.  The agreements provided for cash settlement.

These agreements did not give the Reporting Persons direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over the Shares to which these agreements related.

Except as otherwise described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
