Dundee Salt Mine

The Dundee Salt Mine in Scotland is a large underground facility where salt is extracted from underground salt deposits through solution mining. Water is injected into the salt-rich rock formation, dissolving the salt, which is then pumped to the surface as brine. This brine is processed to produce pure salt used in various industries, including food and chemical manufacturing. The mine operates safely underground, maintaining strict environmental standards, and plays a vital role in Scotland’s salt production, supporting local economies and industry without disrupting the surface ecosystem.
