'''Mining''' is the activity of extracting ore from [[asteroids]], though it is also used to describe [[ice harvesting]] and more rarely, [[gas cloud harvesting]]. Once extracted, ore can then be [[Refining|refined]] into minerals. 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 many industrialists started their careers by mining. Mining is considered a very economically safe profession, as minerals are always in demand. Mining requires specialized modules or drones, and [[ORE Basic Ship and Skill Overview|specialized mining ships]] also exist.

'''Mining critical success skills'''

* {{sk|Mining Precision|mult=yes}}: 10% bonus to mining & ice harvesting critical success chance.

* {{sk|Mining Precision|mult=yes}}: 10% bonus per skill level to mining & ice harvesting critical success chance.

* {{sk|Mining Exploitation|mult=yes}}: 5% bonus to mining & ice harvesting critical success bonus yield.

* {{sk|Mining Exploitation|mult=yes}}: 5% bonus per skill level to mining & ice harvesting critical success bonus yield.

These skills provide smaller bonuses to mining or ice harvester yield compared to the skills above.

Such fleets are often run to donate minerals to the University, with the added bonus of attempting to break the record for the previous donation fleet.

Mining fleets are generally more relaxed than combat fleets, co-operative mission running or [[DED complexes|complex clearing]]. Chat ~~and/or [[Mumble]] deal~~ with a wider variety of topics and separating the required tasks to specialists provides everyone time to participate in the conversations. Not only does this atmosphere provide a social element of connection with the other members, but it also lets the "teaching" move beyond mining to cover a myriad of subjects.
