About Intrepid Potash

Intrepid Potash operates three solar evaporation mines in Wendover and Moab, Utah and Carlsbad, New Mexico, extracting minerals for agriculture, animal feed, and oil & gas customers. The company also runs an underground mine in Carlsbad focused on langbeinite, a naturally-occurring potassium-magnesium sulfate mineral with significant global reserves at that site. Solar evaporation offers cost and environmental advantages in the arid Southwest, while proximity to western markets reduces logistics friction. The organization is headquartered in Denver and employs 201–500 people across mining, operations, and environmental management functions.
