'''Mining''' is the profession of extracting ore from asteroids, ice from ice fields and gas from gas clouds. These materials can then be [[Refining|refined]] into minerals, ice products and boosters. These refined substances are used in the production and maintenance of all player-created items and structures in EVE, such as ships and modules. It is one of the few professions immediately available to beginning players and most EVE industrialists started their careers by mining. Mining is perhaps the second most economically safe profession in EVE, save [[Planetary Interaction|planetary interaction]], in [[High Security|high-sec]] systems. Losing mining ships and/or being podded is uncommon and minerals are always in demand. Mining is accomplished by finding an asteroid belt, ice belt or gas cloud, and mining its asteroids/ice asteroids/gas clouds with special ship modules (mining lasers, ice harvesters, and gas cloud harvesters, respectively).

To quickly get into mining, all EVE University members are encouraged to take advantage, at no cost, of the [[Mining Loaner Fleet|mining loaner fleet]] program. The University will even [[The Skillbook Program|provide the skillbook]] for you! All miners are encouraged to join the [[Mailing Lists|E-Uni Mining Ops mailing list]] and you will receive an email if a fleet commander organises a [[Mining#Cooperative_Mining|mining fleet]]. Many miners in EVE University have come together and organized the [[Amarr Mining Campus]] (AMC) where newer players are taught the basics of solo and fleet mining. It is highly encouraged that newer players interested in mining contact an AMC ~~officer~~.
