In the 1970s, Mineração Rio do Norte (MRN) annexed much of Boa Vista’s land in Oriximiná, Pará state. The company established the world’s fourth largest bauxite mine, along with a company town, Porto Trombetas, built on the former quilombo property. MRN also polluted local fisheries and provided mostly badly paid menial jobs to residents.
