A Surface Excavation site consists of several Automated Mining Extractors. These extractors can be scanned with a [[Data Link Scanner]] to show their content (e.g. Gold, Silver, Indite...). Shooting an Extractor releases a "Mining Fragment", which can be collected with the SRV. The fragments show up in the inventory as a ton of the specific commodity.
A Surface Excavation site consists of 12 Automated Mining Extractors. These extractors can be scanned with a [[Data Link Scanner]] to show their content (e.g. Gold, Silver, Indite...). Shooting an Extractor releases a "Mining Fragment", which can be collected with the SRV. The fragments show up in the inventory as a ton of the specific commodity and are considered legal salvage.

*The mining laser fired by the extractor can destroy a stuck SRV in about 10 seconds. Use ''extreme'' caution when driving.
