Salif, Yemen: more than 1,000 metres of Miocene bedded halite deposited during Red Sea rifting, anhydrite laminae, overlying gypsum and later diapiric deformation.
Sab’atayn and Shabwa salt in Yemen: Tithonian halite, subsurface intervals locally up to about 1,500 metres, salt diapirism, differential loading and structures including Milh Kharwah.
Yemen’s rock-salt geology: Jurassic Sab’atayn–Shabwah salt in interior rift basins and more than 1,000 metres of Miocene Salif halite along the Red Sea, with diapirs created by later halokinesis.
Khammouane and Savannakhet in Laos: Upper Cretaceous halite–potash sequences, three evaporite cycles, marine-derived brines, later freshwater and hydrothermal influence, and the eastern Khorat Plateau.
Laos’s rock-salt geology: Vientiane, Khammouane and Savannakhet halite-potash basins, the eastern continuation of the Khorat evaporite system and major subsurface salt resources.
Bamnet Narong in Thailand’s Khorat Basin: Late Cretaceous halite, potash-bearing evaporites and a well-known exploration district within the Maha Sarakham Formation.
Maha Sarakham Formation in Thailand: three principal salt members, locally about 250 metres of halite, potash-bearing evaporites and the stratigraphy of the Khorat Plateau.
Thailand’s giant Cretaceous evaporite province: Khorat and Sakon Nakhon basins, Maha Sarakham halite, widespread salt domes and the close association of rock salt and potash.
Ojibway underground salt mine in Windsor, Ontario: Salina Group halite, production since the mid-1950s and large annual capacity serving Canadian and U.S. de-icing markets.
Hampton Corners mine in New York: deep Salina Group halite, a 1,433-foot shaft and reported daily rock-salt production on the order of 10,000–20,000 tonnes.
