| Nearly every system in EVE contains asteroid belts and the number of belts varies from system to system. When deciding on a system to mine it is always advantageous to look for a system with a high number of belts. Another thing to consider is the security status of a system. The lower the security rating, the better the quality of the asteroids. High-Sec and Low-Sec systems (1.0-0.1) only contain low-end ores. If you want valuable high-end ores, they are only found in Null-Sec (0.0) space or wormholes. | Nearly every system in EVE contains asteroid belts and the number of belts varies from system to system.

| - | In every belt you will see that the asteroids are made up of 15 different varieties, though it is very rare to see all 15 in the same belt. In addition to the 15 normal ores, you will also see two variants of each normal ore type beyond the regular one. The first variant gives an extra 5% minerals when refining and the second will give an extra 10%. | + | In every belt you will see that the asteroids are made up of 15 different varieties, though it is very rare to see all 15 in the same belt.

| Once you have mined your ore and hauled it back to the station, the next step is to refine the ore into its base mineral content. There are 8 kinds of mineral, 3 high-end types and 5 low-ends. Low-ends include Tritanium, Pyerite, Mexallon, Isogen and Nocxium; while the High-end minerals include Zydrine, Megacyte and Morphite. | Once you have mined your ore and hauled it back to the station, the next step is to refine the ore into its base mineral content.

| + | ===== Ore Anomalies ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Raising the Industrial Index in a System allows for the installation of Ore Prospecting Array Upgrades in the iHub. There are 5 total levels that can be install each one unlocking a new ore anomaly. Each anomaly type (Colossal, Enormous, Large, Medium, and Small) has a set amount of resources that spawn with it, and they have their own re-spawn timer. | ||

| + | **__NOTE__**: The Small and Medium Ore Anomalies are not affected by a system's TruSec Status and will always spawn base value rocks. | ||

| Your best approach is to train **Mining Frigate III**, then train your **Mining** to 4. The **Mining Frigate** gives you a 15% bonus to mining yield, and **Mining IV** allows you to fit T2 mining lasers in addition to giving a base 20% skill increase to mining yield. Following that you should train **Mining Upgrades I** which will allow you to fit a Mining Laser Upgrade I (+5% to mining yield per laser) in your low slot. If it does not fit you should train up your **Electronics** level | Your best approach is to train **Mining Frigate III**, then train your **Mining** to 4.

| This is the basic Venture fit, you can fill in the empty slots however you so choose, but an AB and some shield extenders would be the recommended additions. Do keep in mind though that the Venture, and indeed all the ORE mining ships have a second larger cargohold that __**only holds ore**__, and is unaffected by cargo mods or rigs so don't bother fitting them. | This is the basic Venture fit, you can fill in the empty slots however you so choose, but an AB and some shield extenders would be the recommended additions.

Luckily for you test has several [[services:start|Player Services]] that will refine your ore in return for around 1% of the minerals. As for selling your minerals, you will likely find that with the exception of Tritanium and possibly Pyerite, you will earn more money by paying to have your minerals shipped to a high-sec market hub such as Jita or Amarr. | + | |
