The South Boulder Mines Ltd is an Australian mining company, and its headquarters is based in West Perth, Western Australia. The high grade, rich and concentrated Potassium Sulfate deposit is found in Colluli, in South East Eritrea...A feasibility study has been carried out and, preparation for the exploitation of potash is under way. As part of the preparation, the road from Culluli to Marena coastline is being fortified and rebuilt using the forced labour of underfed and overworked Eritreans in terrible living and working conditions.
