Back to the Future — Forward to the Past
In the Mojave Desert, regrowth takes a great deal of time. Reclamation efforts near the U.S. Borax mine have been an ongoing effort requiring decades of experimentation and care.

U.S. Borax, part of Rio Tinto, is a global leader in the supply and science of borates—naturally-occurring minerals containing boron and other elements. We are 1,000 people serving 650 customers with more than 1,800 delivery locations globally. We supply around 30% of the world’s need for refined borates from our world-class mine in Boron, California, about 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles.  Learn more about Rio Tinto.
