Item 8.01.		Other Events.

In connection with the filing of a registration statement on Form S-1 on May 24, 2011, Molycorp, Inc. (the “Company”) revised its consolidated financial statements (i) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, and cumulatively for the period from June 12, 2008 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, and (ii) as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and cumulatively for the period from June 12, 2008 (Inception) through March 31, 2011, in each case for an overstatement of Work in Process (“WIP”) inventory.

The Company determined that its work in process inventory of ceric hydrate was overstated by approximately $1.7 million as of December 31, 2010 and by approximately $3.0 million as of March 31, 2011, $1.3 million of which related to the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $1.7 million related to the fourth quarter of 2010, which was also revised. The Company has assessed the materiality of this misstatement in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99 and concluded that this error is not material to its previously issued consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, by reference to SAB No. 108, the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements have been revised in the registration statement as follows:
