Mining missions are a type of missions given by mining agents. They require you to mine ore and then hand it to the agent.

A mining ship needs to have high slots to accommodate mining lasers, and room for at least one drone. The drone(s) will be needed to fight off the small number of Belt Pirates that will attack a miner. One or two Light Combat Drones will generally be sufficient. If you have room, you may want to carry a Salvage Drone to salvage the wrecks of the pirates that you kill. If you have a very large drone bay, you may want to carry a set of Mining Drones - however, these drones do not add a whole lot to your mining capacity, and many miners do not use them at all.
In time you will likely move up from your Venture to a Mining Barge. Any of these will work fine for mining missions, though you might want to concentrate on training for Exhumers by the time you reach level IV. Exhumers have larger ore holds and let you finish your mining with fewer trips.
