Nabalco, (North Australian Bauxite and Alumina Company) was a mining and extraction company set up in 1964 to exploit the mineral reserves (bauxite) of the Gove Peninsula, Australia. It was renamed Alcan Gove Pty Ltd in 2002.[1]
Nabalco was formed from a consortium including Switzerland based Alusuisse (70%) and Australia CSR.[2][3]
The development was opposed by indigenous people which resulted in the case Milirrpum v Nabalco Pty Ltd (Gove land rights case), which resulted in a ruling against intrinsic native land rights in 1971.
