| The ''actual'' objective is to turn in 333 units of Tritanium to the agent - therefore, if you want, you could just mine ore until the rat spawns and you kill it and then buy the Tritanium off the [[trading|market]] (or, if you did the Tutorial and/or [[Industry career agent|Industry Career Agent missions]], use some of the leftovers). The price of Tritanium on the local market will fluctuate based on supply and demand, but will usually be around 5-6 ISK per unit (so 333 units will cost you around 2000 ISK, which is a negligible amount of money).
| | * Fit a mining module and at least one weapon to your ship and warp to the mission beacon. |
| | | * While you're mining, a weak rat will spawn. As long as you kill it, you can source the required Tritanium in whichever way you like without actually mining and reprocessing - e.g., using leftovers from other missions or buying them off the market. |
| Fit a mining module (e.g. a Miner I from the Tutorial, or the Civilian Miner you received when you accepted the mission) to a ship (the Venture you received from the last mission is ideal, as it's a mining frigate, but you could also use most any other ship). You can go to any asteroid belt in the system and find an asteroid with [[Reprocessing#Ore|an ore which can be reprocessed into Tritanium]] (which, in [[high-sec|high security space]], is virtually any kind of asteroid) - alternatively, the mission has created a beacon with a single large "private" Veldspar asteroid. Given the competition for asteroids in newbie star systems, the beacon is probably the safer bet.
| | * Reprocessing can be done by docking in a station, moving the ore to the Item Hangar, right-clicking on the ore and selecting "Reprocess". Note that you pay a small fee for reprocessing. |
| | * Ores can only be reprocessed in increments of 100 - if you have 99, for example, you need to acquire at least one more unit to reprocess them. |
| | * If you have a new character (with around 50% reprocessing yield), you will need at least 200 Veldspar to acquire 333 Tritanium through reprocessing. |

| 100 units of Veldspar ore reprocess into 400 units of Tritanium (you can find this out by either looking at the [[Reprocessing#Ore|reprocessing table on the wiki]], or by right-clicking on the Veldspar in-game, selecting "Show Info", and looking at the "Industry" tab) under ideal conditions (100% reprocessing yield). Particularly as a beginner character you will typically have around 50% reprocessing yield (which can be improved by training skills), so you will need at mine at least 200 units of Veldspar in order to get the required 333 Tritanium. Return to the station, move the ore from your ship into your Item Hangar on the station (note that, if you were using your Venture, the ore is in the Venture's special Ore Hold as opposed to the normal Cargo Hold), right-click on the ore and select "Reprocess". Note that you pay a small fee for reprocessing.
