What Makes Us Different

There are wonderful advantages of working with a small, US-based company.

We are fast, flexible and decisive when it comes to pricing. And because we operate with a lean management team, you are never more than one step away from senior management. That means you can count on us to honor our word, regardless of market conditions.

As a small company, your success means the world to us. We expect to earn your business by delivering quality solutions, time after time. You’ll find us to be a loyal and reliable partner who values long-term relationships over individual transactions.

What We Produce

Intrepid operates three solar evaporation mines in Wendover and Moab, Utah and Carlsbad, New Mexico. Solar evaporation ponds provide one of the safest, lowest cost, environmentally friendly production methods for potash and salt. Our southwestern locations have the advantages of proximity to western markets and an arid climate, ensuring minimal weather-related delivery days by truck or rail.

Intrepid also operates an underground mine in Carlsbad, New Mexico for the extraction of langbeinite, the naturally-occurring mineral we sell as Intrepid Trio. Langbeinite, K₂Mg₂(SO₄)₃, is a unique geological material found only in a few places in the world. Highly prized as an all-natural fertilizer with international demand, Intrepid’s mine in Carlsbad sits on one of the world’s largest known reserves of langbeinite.

In 2004, Intrepid acquired assets from Mississippi Potash, Inc. and Eddy Potash, Inc. in Carlsbad, New Mexico. The Wendover, Utah facility was acquired from Reilly Chemical, Inc.
