The Giant Secure Container method of mining lets you solo mine into secure containers that have been anchored and password protected. You can then pick up or have a friend pick up ~~the ore later on~~. You ~~will~~ need the following:

The Giant Secure Container method of mining lets you solo mine into secure containers that have been anchored and password protected. You can then pick them up later (or have a friend pick them up for you). You need the following:

*~~Skill Book:~~ Anchoring ~~under corporate category - trained to level one.~~

* Trained {{sk|Anchoring|I}}

*Secure Containers~~: Giant Secure container is preferred~~

* One or more secure containers (bought from the market); preferably Giant Secure Containers (the largest type)

*A system with a ~~sec status~~ of 0.7 or below.

* A system with a [[security Rating|security rating]] of 0.8 or below (as you cannot anchor containers in 0.9 and 1.0 systems)

#Take a ~~Hauler~~ and the secure containers to where you want to mine. Deploy the container about 5000 meters away from any object.

# Take a hauler and the secure containers to where you want to mine. Deploy the container about 5000 meters away from any object.

#~~'''Important'''~~ Right click the ~~GSC~~, ~~'''~~anchor it~~'''~~ and then ~~'''~~set the password''''. If you don't do this step your container can be looted and/or will disappear during the next ~~down time~~.

# Right-click the container in space, anchor it and then set the password. '''If you don't do this step your container can be looted and/or will disappear during the next downtime.'''

#~~Mine securely and pick up later~~. ~~These~~ containers will disappear 30 days after the last use..

# As you mine, move the ore from your ship to the container. The containers will disappear 30 days after the last use.

#~~Another option how to use GSC~~ is to set up ~~GSC~~ "~~Nest~~"~~. Just take your haul~~ 150+ km ~~out of~~ belt, ~~set up GSCs~~ and bookmark their location. ~~Then~~ mine, warp to ~~nest~~, ~~return~~ and ~~mine again. This remove lost time due to small speeds of~~ mining ~~ships when going to deposit your ore to GSC. Then pick up your ore as usual~~.

# An alternative is to set up a container "nest": fly at least 150 km from a belt, anchor the container(s) there, and bookmark their location. This way, you can mine, warp to the containers, drop off the ore, warp back to the belt and continue mining.

~~Something that often gets completely missed by rookies is that a Giant Secure Container is larger on~~ the ~~inside than it is on the outside - by 900m3. They are often used in industrial~~ ships ~~to give a bit of a bonus to cargo capacity, although the transported items need to be easily splittable to take full advantage. Ore and/or minerals fit these criteria nicely~~.

As with jetcan mining, the large ore holds of most mining ships makes GSC mining not worthwhile for most miners.
