Freeport says no agreement with Indonesia, export ban remains

By Wilda Asmarini and Susan Taylor JAKARTA/TORONTO (Reuters) - Freeport-McMoRan Inc said on Friday an export ban remains in place on its copper mine in Indonesia, the world's second-biggest, because it has not yet reached agreement with the government on a new mining permit. Government officials had earlier told reporters they issued a new mining permit to Freeport and the world's biggest publicly-listed copper miner could now apply for an export permit.
