Rock Salt

Rock Salt Mining is the process of extracting sodium chloride from underground salt deposits using mechanical methods. These underground salt deposits, sometimes referred to as dried-up, ancient seabeds, can reach depths of 1,200 meter and span for thousands of acres. These salt basins were formed after undergoing millions of years of geological aging. Today, aged salt deposits are used for commercial salt production all around the world. Solar Salt Production is the process in which naturally occurring salt water (from a sea, lake, etc.), is channeled into a series of shallow, interlocking ponds. Over time, the water moves through the sequence of ponds that allow evaporation of water to create brine solutions until the most saturated brines evaporate to form salt crystals. This production method produces high-quality, high-purity salt, ranging between 99.1% and 99.90% purity.
