All potash production at IPNM comes from the HB Solar Solution Mine in the 1 and 3 ore zones. Mining at the HB Solar Solution Mine recovers potash by injecting saturated saline NaCl brine into the old mine works to create underground leach lakes. Over time, the solution enriched with potash is pumped to the surface to solar evaporation ponds.
