Nabalco

Nabalco, (North Australian Bauxite and Alumina Company) was a mining and extraction company set up in 1964 to exploit bauxite reserves on the Gove Peninsula, Australia.

[1] Nabalco was formed from a consortium including the Swiss-based Alusuisse (70%) and the Australian company CSR Limited.

[2][3] The development was opposed by the indigenous inhabitants, which gave rise to the legal action Milirrpum v Nabalco Pty Ltd (Gove land rights case).

That resulted in a ruling against intrinsic native land rights in 1971.
