Solution mining is the process of extracting underground, water-soluble minerals (salt, potash, trona, etc.), through one or more drilled wells, by dissolving the minerals with water. As the water circulates, it dissolves the mineral and becomes saturated, the brine is forced up a separate pipe string to the surface.

Trona is the principle source mineral for the United States soda ash industry and is generally produced by conventional underground mining methods, including solution mining. Non-solution mined ore is hoisted to the surface and is commonly processed into soda ash either by the "sesquicarbonate process" or the "monohydrate process."
