Our business segments
Our operations are organized into three segments: potash, Trio®, and oilfield solutions. Our business segments are based on the types of products and services sold, production processes and markets served.
| ● | Potash segment: This segment produces and markets muriate of potash (commonly referred to as potash). Potash is applied as an essential nutrient for healthy crop production, utilized in several industrial applications, and used as an ingredient in animal feed. We also sell salt, magnesium chloride and brines which are byproducts derived as part of our potash mining processes. Our salt is used for road deicing for winter roadway safety and other consumer and industrial applications. As of December 31, 2023, the potash segment had three producing mining properties located in the United States. |
| ● | Trio®: This segment mines langbeinite, which we market and sell as Trio®. Trio® is a specialty fertilizer which delivers three key nutrients, potassium, magnesium, and sulfate, in a single particle. The unique combination of nutrients makes Trio® an attractive fertilizer across diverse crops and geographies. We also sell salt which is a byproduct of our langbeinite mining processes. Our salt is used for road deicing and other consumer and industrial applications. |
| ● | Oilfield Solutions: This segment markets various products and services used by oil and gas operators to explore and drill for oil. |
Our projects
This report discloses the payments made by us to governments for the commercial development of minerals, such as sylvinite, langbeinite, salt and magnesium chloride, and which involve the exploration, extraction, and processing of such minerals.
As of December 31, 2023, we had four production stage mining properties and one mining property that is idled.
| ● | HB: Extraction of potash, salt, and magnesium chloride through injection of saturated saline NaCl brine into old mine works to create underground leach lakes. Over time, the solution enriched with potash is pumped to the surface to solar evaporation ponds. The HB project is located in the state of New Mexico, in the United States. |
| ● | East: Extraction of langbeinite and salt through mechanical room-and-pillar mining. The East project is located in the state of New Mexico, in the United States. |
| ● | West: The West project is a mechanical room-and pillar mine that was idled in July 2016 and placed in care-and-maintenance mode. The West project is located in the state of New Mexico, in the United States. |
| ● | Moab: Extraction of potash and salt through selective solution mining. Salt saturated brine is injected into underground caverns. Selective solution mining dissolves only the KCl component of the sylvinite and leaves the sodium chloride component underground. The brine is pumped to the surface to solar evaporation ponds. The Moab project is located in the state of Utah, in the United States. |
| ● | Wendover: Extraction of potash, salt and magnesium chloride through solar evaporation of naturally occurring brines collected from the sedimentary basin via brine collection ditches and extraction wells. The Wendover project is located in the state of Utah, in the United States. |
