Explanation of Responses:

1. Pursuant to an Exchange Agreement dated as of April 21, 2008, by and between Intrepid Mining LLC ("Intrepid Mining") and Intrepid Potash, Inc. (the "Issuer"), Intrepid Mining transferred all of its nonmonetary assets to the Issuer in exchange for (1) approximately $757.4 million in cash, (2) 40,339,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock, and (3) assumption by the Issuer of (a) all amounts in excess of $18.9 million of Intrepid Mining's liability under its senior credit facility and (b) all other liabilities and obligations of Intrepid Mining. The reporting person held a 40% membership interest in Intrepid Mining. On April 25, 2008, Intrepid Mining dissolved and distributed its assets, including the shares of the Issuer's common stock, to its members on a pro rata basis.

Remarks:

The reporting person is deemed a director by deputization of the Issuer by virtue of the reporting person's right to designate a representative to serve on the Issuer's board of directors. Hugh E. Harvey, Jr. currently serves as the reporting person's representative on the Issuer's board of directors.
