| ===Human-Covenant War===
| |
| Circa [[2552#March|March 9, 2552]], the [[Covenant]] attacked a BXR Mining Corporation facility on a [[Human colonies|human colony]]. A group of miners volunteered to extract a haul of exotic ore that would be used in the creation of the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]]s [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]]. While they successfully retrieved and delivered the ore, the Covenant bombardment caused a cave-in that blocked their escape. Trapped, one of the miners began singing. The other miners joined in before the cave ultimately collapsed on top of them.{{Ref/Generic|Id=Lightbringers|Heading=[[Become]]|Subheading=[[UNSC Archives]]|Detail=[[Lightbringers]]}}
| |
| | |
| BXR had several facilities on the [[Inner Colonies|colony world]] of [[Reach]], with at least [[Unidentified BXR titanium mine|one]] dedicated to the mining of [[titanium]] ore.{{Ref/Map|Id=Unearth|HR|Unearthed}} During the Covenant's [[Fall of Reach|invasion of Reach]] in [[2552#August|August 2552]], [[Szurdok Ridge BXR facility|one of the corporation's mining facilities]] on the [[Szurdok Ridge]] at [[Ütközet]] was made into a stronghold by Covenant forces.{{Ref/Level|Id=tip|[[Halo: Reach]]|[[Tip of the Spear]]}}

| ===Postwar===
| |
| By [[2556]], BXR had entered into a partnership with [[Imbrium Machine Complex]] to mine asteroid-based resources in the [[Marcey system]].{{Ref/Novel|[[Halo: Saturn Devouring His Son]]}} BXR was under "active investigation" by [[ONI]] after the [[Terrorist attack on Sedra City|Sedra terrorist attack]] in the same year.{{Ref/Generic|Id=Halo Nightfall|[[Halo: Nightfall: ONI: Walk the Path|ONI: Walk the Path]]}}
| |
| | |
| After the [[Human-Covenant War]], BXR was actively involved in mining [[lechatelierite|silicate glass]] from former colonies destroyed by the Covenant, including Site #1774 on [[Bliss]], which was visited by [[Benjamin Giraud]].{{Ref/Reuse|htt}}

| *One variation of the BXR logo is that of three colored squares, a blue square on the left, a yellow square on top, and a red square to the right, representing the X, Y, and B buttons, respectively, on a standard Xbox 360 control pad, another obvious reference to the button combination. | | *One variation of the BXR logo is that of three colored squares, a blue square on the left, a yellow square on top, and a red square to the right, representing the X, Y, and B buttons, respectively, on a standard Xbox 360 control pad, another obvious reference to the button combination. |
| *The shape of the logo seems to be a reference to the chemical safety sign ([[wikipedia:NFPA 704|NFPA 704]]) that is seen on containers of hazardous materials, as it is a group of four side-ways squares inside another, larger square, the exception being that the BXR logo only has three small squares in a larger one. | | *The shape of the logo seems to be a reference to the chemical safety sign ([[wikipedia:NFPA 704|NFPA 704]]) that is seen on containers of hazardous materials, as it is a group of four side-ways squares inside another, larger square, the exception being that the BXR logo only has three small squares in a larger one. |
