Most salt mines operate underground but in salt deserts the rock salt is also mined at the surface. Two main methods of extracting rock salt are used in underground mining: Cut and blast mining consists in cutting slots at the base of the rock face. A series of carefully sited holes are drilled and then charged with explosives to blast the rock.

Salt occurs in nature as the mineral halite and is mined by three primary methods: underground mining, which produces rock salt, solar evaporation, and vacuum evaporation. The Salt Institute's web site explains each process as follows: Rock salt: Rock salt is mined from underground deposits by drilling and blasting. Deposits are reached ...

Halite features an isometric (cubic) crystal system, which simply means that the crystals in the mineral contain three axes that are all equal lengths and stand at 90 degrees from each other. Halite is a sodium chloride. Both atoms are regularly distributed within the cubic crystal lattice. Defects in the structure can cause the salt to turn a ...
