North Dakota Sec. 8: NE1/4, S 1/2NW1/4, N1/2 SW 1/4 Employing selective mining leonardite is surface mined in two-to-three-acre sections to the total depth of twenty feet. The leonardite is found in three layers between two layers of clay. Professional excavators remove and pile the top soil, subsoil and overburden separately. Employees of Leonardite Products use a front end loader to remove the clay stringers and mine the leonardite. The leonardite is carried by dump truck to the processing plant approximately three miles from the mine. Generally mined between March and October, mined leonardite is stored in a stock pile on the processing plant grounds.

It will sun dry in the stockpile yet is dried to remove moisture (water), making it easier to package and handle. Processing also cleans out natural impurities found in a mined product. Leonardite Products has two separate systems to dry and size leonardite. Primary Processing Leonardite is dried and sized in a processing plant using a natural gas air heater regulated to a maximum temperature of 145º Fahrenheit (62.7º Celsius) for agricultural grade material. Sizing is accomplished with a Williams hammer mill and spinner separator. The material is packaged directly from this system. No other materials enter or are processed on this equipment. An extensive upgrade in 2019 included a new air heater, spinner separator, PLC system and relocated the electrical room. This equipment is used to process Source X® and LenOX®.
