Storrie added that the top priority for him and the team remains operating a safe and productive mine that continues to meet the needs of their customers. He added that the sale is subject to certain conditions precedent, including merger approval from the Namibian Competition Commission. Subject to these conditions being met, the transaction is expected to complete in the first half of 2019.Currently, Rio Tinto owns the majority 69% when it comes to voting rights. The Namibian government has a 3% shareholding, but has 51% when it comes to voting rights.\u00a0 The Iranian Foreign Investment Company (IFIC), a non-taking right investor in R\u00f6ssing Uranium, holds a 15% stake.<\/p>\n<p>R\u00f6ssing has also reported that its uranium production in 2018 increased by 17% compared to 2017, as a result of higher milling grades.
