Potash feldspar: (Microcline) - is a type of orthoclase feldspar (KAlSi3O8) that is light in color- if its bright green its called amazonite. Potash feldspar is a major mineral found in nearly all continental plutonic igneous environments, and is prevalent in metamorphic environments. This means they are probably gathered in a strip-mine/ quarry fashion. Seeing as how its granite its found in.
Unless you were talking about the salt, which is used as a fertilizer, in that case its mined via a shaft that goes down to the deposit layer and the layer is hollowed out using heavy machinery and tnt that makes a series of chambers and columns to hold the hollowed out part up.

Potash is an imprecise term. If you mean the ashes from a fire, then, usually, yes. If you mean the potassium content of a potassium compound such as potassium carbonate or potassium chloride (as the term is used when discussing fertilizer), it depends on the particular compound. Potassium chloride is among the substances often mined, and other compounds can be made from it.
