On 12 December 2009, RTI International Metals Inc. announced that it was abandoning its $US 300 million project to build a new 9000 t.p.a. titanium sponge metal plant at Hamilton, MS, adjacent to the 225,000 t.p.a. Tronox pigment plant. This resulted in an asset impairment charge of $US 68.9 million in RTI's Q4 accounts.
