→Asteroid distribution: the table looks nice, but its easy to mix up items when editing. Amarr has Jaspet, in 0.4 rather than kernite |

In general, the rarer the ore, the higher its volume per unit (e.g. one unit of Veldspar has a volume of 0.1 m<sup>3</sup>, whereas one unit of Arkonor has a volume of 16 m<sup>3</sup>). Since mining lasers mine a given ''volume'' of ore per minute, it takes longer to mine the rarer ore types. Additionally, each ore refines into a different set of minerals; for details, see [[Refining]]. | In general, the rarer the ore, the higher its volume per unit (e.g. one unit of Veldspar has a volume of 0.1 m<sup>3</sup>, whereas one unit of Arkonor has a volume of 16 m<sup>3</sup>).

Note that mining Mercoxit requires the {{sk|Deep Core Mining}} skill as well as [[ORE Basic Ship and Skill Guide#High-slot modules|special mining modules]] (Deep Core Miners or Deep Core Strip Miners). All other ore types can be mined with all types of ore mining lasers or strip miners. | |||
Ice follows a similar geographic distribution to ore; for details, see [[Ice Mining]]. | Ice follows a similar geographic distribution to ore; for details, see [[Ice Mining]]. | ||
