The sale of the 68.62 per cent stake in Rössing Uranium Ltd, which owns the Rössing mine in Namibia, ends a period of extensive strategic assessment, the miner said in a statement.

"The sale of our interest in Rössing once again demonstrates our commitment to strengthening our portfolio and focussing on our core assets," Rio Tinto Chief Executive Jean-Sébastien Jacques said.

The deal is subject to certain conditions, including approval by the Namibian Competition Commission.
