Oct 23 (Reuters) - Miner Freeport-McMoRan FCX.N beat Wall Street estimate for third-quarter profit on Thursday, as higher copper prices helped offset lower production after force majeure at its Grasberg mine in Indonesia.
The company reported an adjusted profit of 50 cents per share for the three months ended September 30, compared with analysts' average estimate of 41 cents, according to data compiled by LSEG.
