Cane Creek potash mine
Intrepid Potash, Inc. (: IPI), based in Denver, Colorado, is the largest producer of potassium chloride, also known as muriate of potash, in the United States. It owns three mines, all in the Western U.S., near the cities of Carlsbad, New Mexico, Moab, Utah, and Wendover, Utah.
There are 3 sites approximately 30 miles (48 km) East of Carlsbad, NM. The East facility, produces sylvite and langbeinite potash, and is capable of fully processing its ore to the storage or shipment stage. The West facility (currently shut down) produces mainly traditional potash, which is shipped by truck to be processed at the North facility for final storage or shipping.
The Moab or Kane Creek potash mine (38°31′25″N 109°39′15″W / 38.52361°N 109.65417°W) is located along the (northwest) bank of the Colorado River, about 20 miles (30 km) west of Moab, Utah, at the south end of State Route 279 and the Union Pacific Railroad. The location is known as Potash on U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps, and is east of Dead Horse Point State Park and Canyonlands National Park. According to USGS reports, the Paradox Basin contains up to 2.0 billion tons (1.8 billion metric tonnes) of potash, with the primary mine being the one at Cane Creek.
