Once a moon has been identified as a good candidate, a refinery is anchored near the moon mining beacon and then the refinery must be equipped with a moon mining drill service module.  The moon mining drill can then be activated to extract a chunk of the moon over a period of 6 to 56 days, slowly pulling the chunk closer to the refinery.  The length of extraction is directly related to the amount which will be extracted, calculated with 30.000 m³ per hour of preparation.  After the extraction period has passed, the refinery owner has a period of time to detonate the moon ore chunk into a mineable asteroid field with moon-specific ores.  If the chunk is not detonated manually, it will automatically detonate after approximately three hours, modifiable with rigs.

Alternately, a [[Metenox Moon Drill]] can be anchored in Low-Sec, Null, or Wormhole space to automatically extract the moon minerals. This is a slower extraction rate than a properly run refinery + mining fleet.

The following tables show the minerals and special materials present in '''''1000 {{M3}}''''' of each moon ore. Values are for the basic ore. Any decimal values from the improved ores (+15%) are rounded up to the next whole number.
