Intrepid Potash is a mining company that produces essential minerals for agriculture, animal feed, and the oil and gas industries, including potassium, magnesium, sulfur, and salt. It operates three solar evaporation mines in Wendover and Moab, Utah, and Carlsbad, New Mexico, a production approach described as among the safest, lowest-cost, and environmentally friendly options for potash and salt. The arid climate and proximity to western markets help minimize weather-related delivery days by truck or rail. In addition to its evaporation operations, the company runs an underground mine in Carlsbad to extract langbeinite, marketed as Intrepid Trio, a naturally occurring mineral with international demand as an all-natural fertilizer. The Carlsbad site sits atop one of the world’s largest known reserves of langbeinite. In 2026, the company completed the sale of its South Ranch assets to HydroSource Logistics as part of a strategy to focus on its core business. Based in Denver, Colorado, Intrepid Potash is a mid-sized operator with a diversified mineral portfolio aimed at supporting agricultural and industrial use.
