Item 8.01		Other Events
		As previously disclosed, in 1999 Tronox LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of Tronox Incorporated, was named as a Potential Responsible Party (“PRP”) under CERCLA at a former wood treatment site in New Jersey at which the EPA conducted a cleanup. Tronox LLC recently received a complaint in a lawsuit entitled United States of America v. Tronox LLC in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (a copy of the complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1). Pursuant to the Complaint, the United States seeks recovery from Tronox LLC of costs incurred and to be incurred by the United States in response to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances at or from the Federal Creosoting Superfund site located in the borough of Manville, Somerset County, New Jersey. According to the complaint, as of June 15, 2008 the United States has incurred at least $280 million in unreimbursed response costs related to the cleanup. As we have previously disclosed, Tronox LLC did not operate the site which was sold to a third party before Tronox LLC seceded to the interests of a predecessor in the 1960s. Like Tronox LLC, the predecessor also did not operate the site which had been closed down before it was acquired by the predecessor. Based on historical records, there are substantial uncertainties about whether or under what terms the predecessor assumed any liabilities for the site. Tronox LLC vehemently disagrees with the allegations asserted against it in the complaint and intends to vigorously defend the suit.

Item 9.01		Exhibits
		99.1		Complaint in the matter of United States of America v. Tronox LLC, Case No. 3:33-av-00001, U.S. District Court in the District of New Jersey.
