The purpose of preparing this treatise on the history of phosphate mining in the Idaho portion of the western phosphate field is two-fold. First, while there have been partial histories written before (Hansen, 1964; Service, 1967), neither covered the complete history of the field; and secondly, this paper was prepared in support of current on ...

The world's phosphate ore reserve nearly totals 69.5 billion tons (2019), but its distribution is uneven, more than 80% of which is concentrated in North Africa. Especially, Morocco and Western Sahara are the world's richest countries in phosphate resources, with reserves of 50 billion tons in 2019, accounting for nearly 72 percent of …

The Western Phosphate Field (WPF), composed of Permian marine sedimentary strata that cover over 300,000 km2 in the middle Rocky Mountains of Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming in the United States, contains vast resources of phosphate mined for fertilizer and a range of other industrial applications. The richest deposits of …





The Bureau of Land Management is gathering public feedback through Friday on a revised proposal for a phosphate mine in southeast Idaho, after a federal judge halted a previous plan for the mine earlier this year.. The BLM initially approved the Caldwell Canyon mine near Soda Springs four years ago, a project proposed by a …



Fig. 1 demonstrates the extent of the concentrated distribution of phosphate rock reserves, with the final category being the combination of all other countries in the world. Of particular note is the absence of India and West European countries. Finland is the only West European country with commercial deposits (Johnston and Steen, 2000) …

resource for phosphorus. However, high-grade phosphate rock reserves take mil-lions of years to form via the decomposition of (marine) organisms, and with the current mine production, significantly more is being consumed than is geologically replaced. Currently, it is uncertain how large the global phosphate rock reserves are,







Morocco's phosphate reserves are owned by the Office Cherifien des Phosphates, a Moroccan state agency. Given the almost unlimited executive powers of the Moroccan monarch, it might reasonably be said that most of the world's known reserves of phosphate are, in effect, owned by King Mohammed VI and his Alaouite dynasty, which …



Idaho mining was an integral part of the state's early settlements. Gold was initially discovered in Idaho in 1860 near Pierce, but the state is best known for its two "world class" mining districts: the fabulous Coeur d'Alene District in northern Idaho and the Western Phosphate Reserve in southeastern Idaho.





When it was discovered in 1669, phosphorus became a wonder of the European courts and fairs, with the chemiluminescent combination of phosphorus and atmospheric oxygen producing a light show no one had ever seen before or even thought possible. Within ten years of its discovery, a new curiosity emerged when Robert Boyle …

Idaho, North Carolina, and Utah totaling about 1.1 billion metric tons. Peru, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Australia, and Iraq each account for 1% of the …





In 1989 the total production of phosphate rock in the U.S. was estimated at 38 million metric tons (MT). Most phosphate production leads to the making of fertilizers. The phosphate industry is concentrated in the southeastern U.S. About 90 percent of domestic production capacity in Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee.





Phosphate is mainly used in the form of fertilizer for crops and animal feed supplements. Only 5 percent of world phosphate production is used for other applications, such as corrosion prevention and detergents. Demand for phosphate fertilizers had created a US$54.6 billion market by 2023, and that figure is expected to grow at a compound …
