Rio Tinto Ltd has taken complete ownership of Canadian uranium company Hathor Exploration. Rio on Thursday said it had compulsorily acquired a remaining 7.9 million shares not voluntarily offered after it made a $C654 million ($A623 million) takeover bid in October 2011. Hathor, based near western Canada’s Athabasca Basin, supplies about a fifth of the world’s uranium.
