| Your agent gives you a Miner I module, which has a better yield but takes longer for one cycle to finish compared to the Civilian Miner module that comes with your corvette by default. Fit it to a [[Venture]] mining frigate if you have one from the tutorial or the [[Business career agent|Business Agent missions]]. If not, any other ship will do, although [[Frigates#Exploration|exploration frigates]] may be preferred due to their large cargo capacity. Since this mission does not have any scripted combat, you may want to unfit your weapons and mount as many miner modules as your ship allows to expedite the process. Note that you may get a warning about "insufficient cargo space" if you're flying a Venture - you can safely ignore it, as the game somehow "forgot" that your Venture has a special ore bay which can hold many times more ore than you need to mine for this mission.

| The mission has created a "private" [[deadspace]] pocket for you with a single Veldspar asteroid; warp to it (to warp to the deadspace location, right-click in space or on the drop-down menu from the Info Panel). Once you're there, target the asteroid and activate your mining lasers. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes for you to mine the required 1,000 units of Veldspar. Since there are other missions that require quite a bit of Tritanium that can be reprocessed from Veldspar, however, it is recommended that you keep mining for a few more minutes and get a little more, as it will save you a few trips later (about 6,000 would be sufficient to cover this mission and subsequent ones without having to buy minerals on the market). Once you're done, return to the agent's station and start a conversation with the agent to complete the mission. | | * You may get a warning about "insufficient cargo space" if you're flying a Venture - you can safely ignore it, as the game somehow "forgot" that your Venture has a special ore bay which can hold many times more ore than you need to mine for this mission. |
| | | * The mission has created a "private" [[deadspace]] pocket for you with a single Veldspar asteroid. Once you warp there, target-lock the asteroid and activate your mining lasers. |
| The mission states that it will not accept Veldspar mined from other locations, and the game enforces this rule by inserting a checkpoint that you can pass by starting to mine in the mission location. Once you pass the checkpoint and receive a message box from your agent, the source of the Veldspar does not matter as long as you have at least 1,000 units at the time of turn-in.
| | * If you aim to complete this and all subsequent missions without buying any ores/minerals off the market, you will need to mine about 6,000 units of Veldspar. |
