The Grasberg mine in Papua, Indonesia, is the largest gold and copper deposit in the world. Discovered in 1936, it is operated by Freeport-McMoRan, an American mining company. The mine produces about 1.5 million ounces of gold and 1.7 million tons of copper annually, making it one of the most significant sources of these metals globally. The Grasberg mine is also known for its challenging environmental conditions, including high altitudes, steep slopes, and heavy rainfall. However, the mine's vast reserves and economic importance have made it a vital part of Indonesia's mining industry.
