Salt mining

Salt mining involves extracting salt from underground deposits formed over millions of years. These deposits, called salt beds or salt domes, are accessed using underground tunnels or solution mining, where water is injected to dissolve the salt, creating brine. The brine is then pumped to the surface and evaporated to produce raw salt. Salt mining is crucial for supply in food preservation, industrial processes, and chemical production. It is a precise operation that ensures the safe and efficient retrieval of this vital mineral while minimizing environmental impact.
