Introduction

One of the many legal runs that you can do on the island of Altis is salt mining. Salt is a mineral found in the ground and can be processed into and sold as refined salt. It is one of the first recommended runs for newer players as its payout is viable enough for small to medium scale operations that can be increased with possession of a Worker's Protection License.

Starting the Run

Before you begin, it is a good idea to check the market value of salt using the market tab on your “Y” menu to make sure nobody has sold salt recently to maximize your profits. It is also recommended to stop by the DMV and purchase a “salt processing license” as it is a prerequisite for processing the unrefined product for sale. It is also necessary to take a pickaxe, which can be purchased at any market or gas station, as well as 3 items of food and water to sustain yourself for the duration of the run. You will want to begin this venture by retrieving your vehicle of choice from the truck shop southwest of Sofia. From there, it will be a short drive out to the salt mine, which is located south of Sofia on top of the large dry salt flats where you will gather raw salt. Upon arrival, you will position yourself close to the salt mine icon on the map as within its proximity is the harvesting zone where you will be able to use your windows key to harvest the ore. The mine itself is very exposed so prepare to be highly vulnerable while collecting. What little cover exists around the mine can be penetrated easily by higher caliber rifles so keep your wits about you and listen for approaching ground or aerial vehicles from Sofia or the nearby garage. After you have collected the desired amount you will then proceed to the Salt Processor just north of the Sofia APD HQ.
