Mining is only possible where there are asteroids, which is a small minority of systems. By using the Targets menu on the left side of your cockpit you can find targets with names similar to "Belt Cluster 2". Naturally, this only works if you have information about the system. When scanning a system yourself, keep a look out for a large number of unknown object contacts at similar distances - this often proves to be a belt cluster. Asteroid belt points of interest can only be scanned at very close range (c. | Mining is only possible where there are asteroids, which is a small minority of systems.

You can reach asteroid clusters in supercruise, just like any destination within a system. 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. | You can reach asteroid clusters in supercruise, just like any destination within a system.
