'''Miners''' extract [[:Category:Metal commodities|metals]], [[:Category:Mineral commodities|minerals]], and other resources from [[asteroids]] and sell them for profit. Mining involves traveling to sites such as pristine [[Planetary Ring Systems|planetary rings]], identifying resource-rich asteroids, and using specialized [[Hardpoint]] [[module]]s to extract and collect their resources.
'''Miners''' extract [[:Category:Metal commodities|metals]], [[:Category:Mineral commodities|minerals]], and [[materials]] from rocks and [[asteroids]] to sell for profit. Space mining involves traveling to pristine [[Planetary Ring Systems|planetary rings]], and asteroid belts around [[stars]], identifying resource-rich asteroids or rocks, and using [[Hardpoint]] [[module]]s to extract and collect fragments. Surface mining lets you find surface hotspots and use the [[Mining Rig|mining rig]] to unearth and collect valuable resources.
 
To mine, pilots require three optional internal modules: a [[Refinery]] to refine collected resources into [[Commodities]] for sale, one or more [[Cargo Rack]]s to carry the refined Commodities, and one or more [[Mining Laser]]s, [[Abrasion Blaster]]s, [[Sub-surface Displacement Missile]]s, or [[Seismic Charge Launcher]]s. The [[Detailed Surface Scanner]], [[Limpet Controller/Prospector|Prospector Limpet]], and [[Pulse Wave Analyser]] can also be equipped to more easily locate ideal mining sites and valuable asteroids, and the [[Limpet Controller/Collector|Collector Limpet]] can be used to more efficiently gather raw resources. Miners who choose to delve inhabited systems rather than uncharted ones can purchase system data from [[Universal Cartographics]] or scan a [[System Signal Sources|Navigation Beacon]] in order to determine the quality of a system's asteroid clusters or planetary rings.
 
Some miners prefer small, nimble ships for mining, as they are better at maneuvering around asteroids, in tight asteroid belts and rings at higher velocities. However others prefer larger ships such as the [[Python]], [[Imperial Clipper]], [[Federal Corvette]], [[Imperial Cutter]] and the [[Anaconda]], which are not as maneuverable, but can equip all the beneficial [[Limpet Controller]]s and carry a large number of limpets for their use, while still having room for cargo and shields, increasing efficiency. Additionally, the larger ships are better at defending themselves from [[pirate]]s while mining, though such threats can generally be avoided in the uncharted systems beyond human habitation centers.


==Ships==
==Ships==
An ideal mining ship requires at least one Class 2 hardpoint to fit larger mining tools for more efficient or profitable mining, and enough optional internal slots to hold a Refinery, a Collector Limpet Controller, a Prospector Limpet Controller, a Detailed Surface Scanner, and at least one Cargo Rack. Mobility is also an important factor, due to needing to find more specific asteroids, and aiming certain mining tools. At least 4 hardpoints, with one medium, are required to hold one of every mining tool. A [[Fighter Hangar]] is also recommended, as it lets a ship defend against pirates while its hardpoints are replaced with mining tools.

* [[Mining Laser]]
To mine, pilots require three optional internal modules: a [[Cargo Scoop|cargo scoop]] to collect chunks, a [[Refinery]] to refine collected resources onboard into [[Commodities]] for sale, one or more [[Cargo Rack]]s to carry the refined Commodities, and 1 or more [[Mining Laser]]s, [[Abrasion Blaster]]s, [[Sub-surface Displacement Missile]]s, or [[Seismic Charge Launcher]]s. The [[Detailed Surface Scanner]], [[Limpet Controller/Prospector|Prospector Limpet]], and [[Pulse Wave Analyser]] can be equipped to more easily locate ideal mining sites and valuable asteroids. The [[Limpet Controller/Collector|Collector Limpet]] more efficiently gather raw resource chunks. Refineries have temporary bins that will store a refined product (after you've scooped it). Once each respective bin reaches 100%, the bin contents will then be automatically transferred to your cargo hold as a unit of 1, at which point it can be sold at a [[station]] or [[settlement]]. Rig mining requires the [[Rhino]] with a [[Mining Rig]].
** Required to extract the ore fragments from an [[asteroids|asteroid]].
{| class="fandom-table"
** Higher class lasers may extract ore fragments faster.

** Multiple lasers may also be equipped but will draw more power in total, and will also mean you have fewer hardpoints to defend yourself as they are incredibly inefficient at dealing damage and have the lowest range in the game.
!Equipment
** The [[Mining Lance]] offers far greater range and is capable of dealing 8 DPS, instead of 2, only slightly less than the 1E Beam Laser. The downsides are the higher power draw and the huge amount of thermal load generated.

* Automated collection massively improves profit per hour by collecting fragments automatically.
* Limpets have a set lifetime and will automatically collect items with no user input required.
* Limpets need to be individually purchased at munition store (in the advanced maintenance tab) for 101 credit each limpet and will occupy your cargo rack (1T for each limpet).
* The number of collector limpet modules on each ship is not limited to one, and installing more than one limpet module increases the max number of active limpet at a time, thus increasing collection efficiency. If you have space to install 2 class 5 collector limpet modules, for instance, you may have 6 collector limpets active simultaneously.

Mining is currently possible at asteroid belts or planetary rings (including icy as of 2.1/1.6), although it is the most profitable in a Pristine Metallic area. They can be targeted and flown to in supercruise, just like any destination within a system. Marked extraction sites can only be seen at ranges of 1kls or closer. Asteroids in planetary rings can also be mined from - [[RES]] are common places for NPC miners to congregate in, but pirates will also spawn here.


Mining is not limited to extraction sites, which is much safer since there is virtually no NPCs spawning outside them. Flying at any part of a ring system at less than 1Mm/s will result in a safe drop approximately 7km away from the ring. It is important, however, to identify the metallic rings before attempting this. When you have arrived, you will see a number (from a handful to many dozens) of asteroids, which you can then mine. A good starting spot for mining are systems with industrial economies.

==Guide to Mining==
The material content (Low, Medium, High) does not affect the amount of metals, minerals or chemicals that the asteroid contains. Instead, focus on the concentration of a substance within the asteroid's fragments. If the fragments have a low concentration, near or below 15%, move on to another asteroid. Using Prospector Limpets can double the yield of asteroid fragments.
 
=== Ring systems ===
Mining in [[Planetary Ring Systems]] is always more efficient than mining Asteroid Belt clusters because rings contain vastly more asteroids. Use the System Map to identify rings with "Pristine Reserves", which guarantee more plentiful results.
 
== Night vision ==
Activating [[Night Vision]] can be useful even when mining in bright areas. Night Vision allows asteroids and asteroid chunks to be seen through debris clouds caused by core mining and certain sections of rings.

Mining involves five processes:
Mining in a [[Planetary Ring System|planetary ring]] or asteroid belt involves finding rocky and icy fragments that originated from shattered [[asteroids]], [[Comet|comets]], or [[moons]]. This involves five processes:
# Probing
# Probe
# Fragmenting
# Fragment
# Collecting
# Collect
# Refining
# Refine
# Selling
# Sell


It is important to note that the first four processes can overlap during a mining session, and must be carefully managed in order to maximize efficiency and profit.

Currently there's one type of [[Asteroids|asteroid]] with a distinct shape and size that can be detonated. It's a medium sized rock, roundish "teardrop" in shape -or a pointy edge on one side and a fat bottom on the other. With the [[Pulse Wave Analyser]] it should always show a bright, brilliant yellow glow even as you approach it. There are fissures on the surface. Use the [[Seismic Charge Launcher]] to place Seismic Charges within the fissures. Then explode it to reveal valuable [[minerals]].

===Fragmenting===
===Fragment===
Make sure to bind a Mining Laser (preferably in its own firing group) just like you would do with any other weapon in the game. Fly within range (being 500 m) of the asteroid and blast away with the Mining Laser. You have to hold down the trigger for a while (depending on the quality of Mining Laser you have bought) before a fragment chips off.

You have to hold down the trigger for a while (depending on the quality of Mining Laser you have bought) before a fragment chips off.


Select the fragment of rock as a target. They are quite small and hard to detect visually but do show up as white contacts on your radar. When selected, you get details of the contents of the fragment, e.g. Bauxite (9.7%) Coltan (21.2%). Note that the mineral name which shows up first in the HUD doesn't necessarily represent the most valuable mineral! The mineral content is how much of a ton of cargo can be extracted from the fragment. E.g. if you scoop and process three 35% Indite shards you end up with 1 ton of Indite. Fragments range in mineral content from ~5% to ~65%. Asteroids contain 1 to 3 different minerals while fragments from the asteroids contain up to 2 of those minerals.

Collecting fragments can be done with a [[Cargo Scoop|cargo scoop]] or a collector limpet drone.
Collecting fragments can be done with a cargo scoop or a collector limpet drone.


To collect with a cargo scoop, first, engage your scoop (just like you would with your landing gear or hardpoints), then fly slowly towards the target. Upon engaging the Cargo Scoop you will find that a blue box will have appeared on the lower left of your HUD. On there you should, if pointing at the rock, see an icon in the cross-hairs (the box). Continue to fly slowly towards the rock while holding the rock in the middle of the cargo scoop's cross-hairs until you have successfully acquired it.

Line 128: Line 177:
To activate a limpet in area mode, be sure that no cargo or fragment is targeted. This is important as activating a limpet with a collectible item targeted will activate the limpet in single-collection mode. Once in area mode, the limpet will automatically collect any fragments a specific distance from you based on the class and rating of the controller. While this happens you can continue with other actions such as fragmenting, refining, and monitoring your surroundings. Use collector drones with caution near spinning asteroids, since their basic AI doesn't account for the movement of the asteroid. You can equip multiple collector drone limpet controls assuming you have enough internal compartments.

===Refining===
Note: asteroid fragments may drift and clip into other asteroids or chunks from a detonated asteroid, but Collector Limpets will still attempt to collect those fragments and will end up destroying themselves. If a player notices they are losing Collector Limpets with unusual frequency, this may be the cause, and the problematic fragment should be added to the exclusion list.
 
===Refine===

Line 137: Line 188:
You also have the option to "vent" the contents of your refinery. This is useful if you have a nearly-full refinery of bauxite and you find an asteroid with gold (or whatever else you prioritize). When no bin is available, minerals will not leave the depositing bin and will block it from accepting new fragments. When this happens you must either vent a refinery bin to free up space or vent the mineral from the depositing bin. NOTE: Doing this will destroy the mineral and you will not be able to recover it.
You also have the option to "vent" the contents of your refinery. This is useful if you have a nearly-full refinery of bauxite and you find an asteroid with gold (or whatever else you prioritize).

When this happens you must either vent a refinery bin to free up space or vent the mineral from the depositing bin. NOTE: Doing this will destroy the mineral and you will not be able to recover it.


===Selling===
===Sell===
The value of a mineral is scaled to the supply/demand meaning that selling minerals where there are many other players selling the same mineral will result in a smaller profit per ton as demand for that item is low with so many suppliers. Systems that are both refinery economies and have an asteroid field will tend to give you a lower price compared to what you would get if you were to travel somewhere more distant to the source (source being asteroid fields). Also, checking the bulletin board is very important, since mining mission rewards can reach hundreds of thousands of credits. The most sought-after minerals in missions are painite, osmium and platinum.

Keep in mind that carrying valuable resources around attracts pirates and other players may also try to rob you. With mining lasers attached you will be less effective at defending yourself so don't lug rare metals around too long.

== Resource Availability and Values ==
Tip: if the cargo capacity is full, the Refinery can still be filled to 100% per slot. Upon selling a haul at a station, the full Refinery slots will complete processing and add additional units to the cargo hold, allowing the Refinery to be used as an overflow cargo space to a limited extent.
=== Commodities ===
 
This is a table displaying the approximate market prices for mined minerals, metals, and chemicals. Most high value minerals, including Void Opals and Alexandrite, are gemstones that can only be obtained via core mining, while some such as Painite and Low Temperature Diamonds can be mined with lasers. Market prices for mined commodities vary depending on the economy type of a station and its level of demand for a specific good.
== Surface mining ==
Turret mining is possible with [[vehicles]] that are equipped with a turret. Rig mining requires the [[Rhino]] and a [[Mining Rig|mining rig]].
 
=== Turret mining ===
[[File:ED SRV Scarab Commander Metallic Meteorite.png|thumb|Metallic Meteorite and commander with SRV]]
 
The [[Scarab]], [[Scorpion]] and [[Rhino]] can be used for basic planetary mining. By using the [[Wave Scanner]] you can locate materials. The turret can blow off chunks which are collectable by driving over it with the SRV's [[Cargo Scoop|cargo scoop]].
 
You should look for chunks around signs of volcanism such as [[Gas Vent|gas vents]]. These usually have a chunk on them that you can shoot off to collect it. The cargo capacity of the Scarab is only 4 tonnes, the Scorpion 30 tonnes, while the [[Rhino]] has 72 tonnes.<ref name=":2" />
 
=== Rig mining ===
[[File:Mining Rig and Rhino.jpg|thumb|Mining Rig and a Rhino]]
 
The [[Rhino]] can extract valuable minerals directly from a planet's surface with a [[Mining Rig|mining rig]].<ref name=":2">[https://www.elitedangerous.com/store/vehicles/rhino Rhino] - Store - Elite Dangerous</ref>
 
==== Scan and locate deposits ====
# '''Orbit Scan:''' Use your ship's Detailed Surface Scanner (DSS) from orbit on a landable planet and look for new planetary mining locations and signals.
# '''Check Contents:''' Select a signal in orbital cruise to see the specific minerals and materials available at that site via your left-hand contact panel.
# '''Approach:''' Fly down to the yellowish signal area like a standard Point of Interest (POI).
 
==== Deploy the Rhino and rigs ====
# '''Deployment:''' Hover your ship close to the surface (30 meters or less) and drop the Rhino using the new Mk II Large Planetary Vehicle Hangar.
# '''Scan the Ground:''' Drive into the target zone and activate the Rhino's built-in Planetary Mineral Scanner to highlight minable ground deposits in purple.
# '''Deploy Rigs:''' Position the vehicle over the highlighted deposit and deploy a [[Mining Rig]] using your secondary fire control (rig hatch). You can space out multiple rigs across a large mineral patch.
 
==== Collect and refine ore ====
# '''Extraction:''' Wait for the deployed rig to mine the target material (taking several minutes to extract full chunks).
# '''Collection:''' Use your interface to command the rig to fold up ("prep for mineral collection"), then drive over it to load the refined ore into the Rhino's 24-ton cargo capacity.
# '''Transfer:''' Recall your mother ship and transfer the collected commodities from your Rhino back into your main ship's cargo rack.
 
==== Mining hotspots ====
When a hotspot is depleted it is gone for everyone. It takes around 2 weeks for a hotspot to replenish.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/1wk828s/we_finally_caught_depleted_rhino_mining_deposits/ We finally caught depleted Rhino mining deposits replenishing] - erichards2222 - Reddit - 19 Sep 2026</ref>

==Cooperative mining==
{| class="article-table"
 
Multiple ships or a [[Wing]] can cooperate to mine more efficiently by specializing each ship's loadout. For example, one pilot can fly a speedy, low-mass ship such as the [[Asp Scout]] equipped only with [[Seismic Charge Launcher]], [[Abrasion Blaster]]s, and [[Limpet Controller/Prospector|prospector limpets]] while the second pilot can fly a larger ship such as the [[Anaconda]] with ample cargo space, [[Limpet Controller/Collector|collector limpets]], and a [[Refinery]].<ref name=":1">[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/a9pgdo/thanks_frontier_for_actually_making_coop_mining_a/ reddit: Thanks Frontier for actually making coop mining a thing now]</ref>
 
The miner ship should crack a suitable deep core asteroid, then use the Abrasion Blaster on any surface deposits. While the refinery ship collects and refines the ore, the miner ship can move on and locate another deep core asteroid with its prospector limpets. This process can be repeated until a ship runs out of cargo space, limpets, or ammunition. Cooperating pilots can then return to a station to split the cargo; take care to avoid jettisoning cargo for this purpose within a station's jurisdiction to avoid penalties for littering.<ref name=":1" />
 
== Flak farming==
This is an unofficial method to farm raw materials. It requires a ship equipped with a [[Remote Release Flak Launcher|Flak Cannon]]. Shoot the Flak Cannon to dislodge materials from a planet surface. Then reverse the ship (600 to 1300 meters) until you don't see the tree/shards anymore. Deploy collector limpets to pick up the materials. If the ship is too close then the limpets will be destroyed. Flak farming works on planetary sites with [[Brain Tree|Brain Trees]] or [[Crystalline Shard|Crystalline Shards]]. Brain Trees are easier to find and usually clustered within a few kilometers. The best locations have good densities of raw materials. Such a location has specific coordinates on a planetary surface. This method is faster than landing and collecting with a [[:Category:Surface Recon Vehicles|SRV]].
 
CMDR's use known locations rather than surface prospecting and SRV wave scanning, because it's exponentially faster and more efficient regardless if you're using limpets or SRV gathering.

Miners are a popular target for piracy, and pirates can often be found lurking around planetary rings in inhabited systems, where they will attempt to scan any ship that arrives in their vicinity. If a scanned ship is carrying anything other than limpets, they will attack and try to seize its cargo. The danger posed by pirates can be prepared for in the following ways:
Miners are a popular target for piracy, and pirates can often be found lurking around planetary rings in inhabited systems, where they will attempt to scan any ship that arrives in their vicinity. If a scanned ship is carrying anything other than limpets, they will attack and try to seize its cargo. The danger posed by pirates can be prepared for in the following ways:


* Miners can, if their ship has the capacity, bring along weapons and simply destroy the attackers, earning a bounty voucher in the process. Obviously, this reduces a ship's cargo space and therefore the time it can devote to a single mining session before it must leave and sell its cargo.

* Jumping to supercruise or hyperspace can escape pirates if they cannot be defeated or eluded, but this means losing time to spend on mining. Also note that planetary rings exert mass lock, preventing jumps until a ship has cleared them. Asteroid belt clusters are smaller and do not exert mass lock, but are far less lucrative to mine.

* Resource Extraction Sites in inhabited systems controlled by non-anarchy minor factions will usually be patrolled by security forces that will help defend miners and engage any wanted ships they detect. Ensure "Report crimes committed against me" in the right HUD panel is toggled on to enable a swift security response.

* While any location in a planetary ring can be mined, there is 25-100% bonus, depending on threat level, in the amount of material that can be mined from an asteroid within a 20km radius of a RES site. Pilots can enter a RES site then fly out to its edge, where no other ships will be active, to safely mine and enjoy the bonus.

* Any ship with a speed of over 450m/s will outrun all pirates except those with engineered ships, such as pirates encountered in Wing missions.

* Ships equipped with a [[Fighter Hangar]] can use [[Ship-Launched Fighters]] for protection if their hardpoints are occupied by mining tools. Simply deploy a fighter upon arrival and use it or order a crewmember to defend yourself. This could make the [[Keelback]] a decent early option for an armed miner, but its low cargo space with a fighter bay may prove an issue.

== Cooperative mining ==
Multiple ships or a [[Wing]] can cooperate to mine more efficiently by specializing each ship's loadout. For example, one pilot can fly a speedy, low-mass ship such as the [[Asp Scout]] equipped only with [[Seismic Charge Launcher]], [[Abrasion Blaster]]s, and [[Limpet Controller/Prospector|prospector limpets]] while the second pilot can fly a larger ship such as the [[Anaconda]] with ample cargo space, [[Limpet Controller/Collector|collector limpets]], and a [[Refinery]].<ref name=":1">https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/a9pgdo/thanks_frontier_for_actually_making_coop_mining_a/</ref>
 
The miner ship should crack a suitable deep core asteroid, then use the Abrasion Blaster on any surface deposits. While the refinery ship collects and refines the ore, the miner ship can move on and locate another deep core asteroid with its prospector limpets. This process can be repeated until a ship runs out of cargo space, limpets, or ammunition. Cooperating pilots can then return to a station to split the cargo; take care to avoid jettisoning cargo for this purpose within a station's jurisdiction to avoid penalties for littering.<ref name=":1" />


==Notes==
== Development ==
*Mining features were first added in the Beta 3 Update for ''[[Elite Dangerous]]'', which was released on October 28, 2014.
Mining features were first added in the Beta 3 Update for ''[[Elite Dangerous]]'' which released on 28 October 2014. Mining was greatly expanded with new features and modules by ''[[Elite Dangerous: Beyond|ED: Beyond]]'' Chapter Four (3.3), which released on 11 December 2018. Surface mining with the [[Rhino]] and [[Mining Rig|mining rigs]] was added on 2 September 2026.<ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/updates/4-4-1-0 Elite Dangerous - 4.4.1.0 Update Notes] - 2 Sep 2026</ref>
*Mining was greatly expanded with new features and modules by ''[[Elite Dangerous: Beyond]]'' Chapter Four (3.3), which was released on December 11, 2018.
*Mining in [[Planetary Ring Systems]] is always more efficient than mining Asteroid Belt clusters because rings contain vastly more asteroids. Use the System Map to identify rings with "Pristine Reserves", which guarantee more plentiful results.
*The material content (Low, Medium, High) does not affect the amount of metals, minerals or chemicals that the asteroid contains. Instead, focus on the concentration of a substance within the asteroid's fragments. If the fragments have a low concentration, near or below 15%, move on to another asteroid. Using Prospector Limpets can double the yield of asteroid fragments.
*Even if cargo capacity is full, the Refinery can still be filled to 100% per slot. Upon selling a haul at a station, the full Refinery slots will complete processing and add additional units to the cargo hold, allowing the Refinery to be used as an overflow cargo space to a limited extent.
*Asteroid fragments may drift and clip into other asteroids or chunks from a detonated asteroid, but Collector Limpets will still attempt to collect those fragments and will end up destroying themselves. If a player notices they are losing Collector Limpets with unusual frequency, this may be the cause, and the problematic fragment should be added to the exclusion list.
*Activating [[Night Vision]] can be useful even when mining in bright areas. Night Vision allows asteroids and asteroid chunks to be seen through debris clouds caused by core mining and certain sections of rings.
