Potassium bearing minerals are mined from underground ore deposits or extracted from salt lakes and brines. (e.g. Great Salt Lake, Utah and the Dead Sea). These deposits were formed as ancient oceans evaporated, leaving behind concentrated salt layers that were subsequently buried by sediment. Most potash mines today are deep shaft mines.

With solution mining, a brine is heated and injected into the deposit to dissolves the potash. The potash-rich brine is then pumped out of the cavern to the surface where the water is evaporated. Solution mining involves dissolution of the potash with water. Wells are drilled into the potash-bearing area (sylvinite bed) and water, later brine ...
