Unlike other operations which either pump liquid brine from deep underground, or which evaporate seawater on an industrial scale, our minerals are produced naturally at the lake by the Earth’s own seasonal cycle.

In winter, rain falls and covers the lake, dissolving the minerals underneath to form fresh, mineral-rich brine. As spring and then summer arrive, the sun and the wind evaporate the water, leaving a mineral-rich salt crust on the surface.

Below the surface, concentrated brines are created. This brine is further concentrated in ponds at the lake’s edge, using only the energy of the sun.

This environmentally sensitive way of harvesting our minerals, using natural rainfall and the energy of the sun and wind, gives our products an extremely low carbon footprint and protects the delicate environment of the lake and its surrounding ecosystem.
