Solution mining is used to recover deep deposits that would be uneconomical using underground methods, but only if the ore can be easily dissolved by a solvent. In this method, holes are drilled from the surface into the deposit. A solvent is pumped down one hole, and the resulting solution with the dissolved mineral is pumped out another hole.Web

Solution mining is the process of extracting soluble minerals (Johnson 1998, 2005, 2008), such as salt or potash.It typically entails creating one or several large underground cavities (Shi et al. 2015) that are filled with brine.At some sites, at the end of leaching, the cavity roof reached the top of the salt formation, allowing direct contact …Web
