High-ends minerals include Zydrine, Megacyte and Morphite. Low-ends include Tritanium, Pyerite, Mexallon, Isogen and Nocxium. There are 8 kinds of mineral, 3 high-end types and 5 low-ends. Mineral is refined from the ore you mine. Here's a table with each ore's variations. The first will give an extra 5% mineral when refining, and the second variant will give an extra 10%. It's also important to mention is that each ore has two variations. It is a great tool to help you locate a good spot for your mining HQ or simply figure out where to go depending of what you need to mine ! It would be impossible to list which system has which kind of ore in 0.0, therefore, I suggest you use ToxicFire's Ore Map. You will find everything from Veldspar to Mercoxit, however not in every system.
Note that all ore types can found in 0.0. For example, Jaspet can only be found in 0.4 systems in Gallente or Amarr space - you won't ever find it in any Caldari or Minmatar space.
Some ore can only be found in particular systems. Ice is a group of ore types which is now only available in low-sec and 0.0. This doesn't mean that all low-ends are valueless. As you may have guessed, high-ends (namely, Bistot, Arkonor, Mercoxit, Gneiss and Crokite) yield the best and most lucrative minerals in EVE. We call every ore found in 1.0-0.1 systems "Low-ends", and the exclusive ores to 0.0 systems "High-ends". You are, however, never completely safe from ore thieves, and suicide gankers who will suicide their cheap ships to kill your most expensive piece for the fun of it. However, this is not the subject of this guide and I will not cover it here, so do your homework before you make a mistake that will cost you! A simple reminder would be you are mostly safe in 0.5 and above since Concord will come to your aid if you are attacked. You will not go into a lowsec system with the same ship and setup as you would a 1.0 system.
If you are new to EVE I suggest you read more about security status and how it affects your gameplay. The rule is this: the lower the security status of the system, the better the quality of the asteroids you will find there. Asteroid Belts & OresĪs previously mentioned, every system has asteroid belts, some more than others. This section, however, will cover the very basics of mining. Through this guide we will discover what they are and what they do. In essence, we could sum up mining like this: any ship which has a turret slot and equipped with a mining laser that harvests ore from asteroids for personal production, trading or reselling.ĮVE offers a wide array of mining ships and equipment, some much more efficient than others. This sounds complicated, but this will be all covered later. The quantity of minerals you will get from refining your mined ore depends on the refining skills you have and the standings you have toward the corporation owning the station you are refining at. They yield the most basic minerals which are Tritanium, Nocxium, Pyerite and Mexallon. In Empire (anywhere from regions which have a security status of 1.0 to 0.5), the most common types of asteroids are Veldspar, Scordite, Plagioclase and Pyroxeres. Using mining lasers, you simply harvest those asteroids and fill your cargohold with ore, which can be later refined into minerals, which are in turn used to build ships and modules (we call modules any equipment we can fit on a ship). In every system of every region, you will find asteroid belts which themselves contain asteroids of different natures. The basics of mining in EVE is very simple.
