Nabalco


Nabalco, was a mining and extraction company set up in 1964 to exploit bauxite reserves on the Gove Peninsula, Australia. Nabalco was renamed Alcan Gove Pty Ltd in 2002.
Nabalco was formed from a consortium including the Swiss-based Alusuisse and the Australian company CSR Limited.
The development was opposed by the indigenous inhabitants, which gave rise to the legal action Milirrpum v Nabalco Pty Ltd. That resulted in a ruling against intrinsic native land rights in 1971.
