Afghanistan’s geological rock salt: Takhar salt domes, Ghoryan and Andkhoy evaporites, Jurassic halite and the structural controls of Central Asian salt basins.
Khoja Mumin in Tajikistan: an exposed salt diapir with thick halite, natural caves and dissolution landforms, and geological evidence of a much larger subsurface salt body.
Tajikistan’s major rock-salt systems: Khoja Mumin salt mountain, Vose and Kamyshkurgan evaporites, diapiric halite and the broader Central Asian salt province.
Duzdağ rock-salt mine in Nakhchivan: three main halite layers, an approximately 150-metre salt-bearing mass, archaeological evidence of ancient mining and continuing underground exploitation.
Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan rock salt: Duzdağ, Nehram and Püsyan halite bodies, Miocene evaporites, ancient mining and the geological context of the Nakhchivan salt province.
Turkmenistan’s Köýtendag–Garlyk evaporite province: rock salt, potash-bearing strata, underground mining infrastructure and a current 15,000-tonne-per-year rock-salt project.
Kazakhstan’s rock-salt geology in the Caspian Depression: Inder and Zhaman-Inder salt domes, Permian evaporites, halokinesis and the relationship between halite, borates and other salts.
Sol-Iletsk’s Iletsk salt dome in Russia: operator-reported explored reserves above 560 million tonnes, production capacity up to 1.7 million tonnes per year and a deep underground halite mine.
Russia’s major rock-salt systems: the Sol-Iletsk salt dome in Orenburg, Permian halite and potash of the Solikamsk–Verkhnekamsk basin, underground mining and Eurasian evaporite geology.
Western Australia’s Canning Basin rock salt: Carribuddy Group evaporites, Mallowa and Minjoo areas, thick halite intervals and the geology of a major subsurface salt province.
