Refining (also known as reprocessing in EVE terminology; the two terms are interchangeable) is a miner’s second best friend, the first being powerful mining lasers. Refining allows a miner to refine their raw ore into usable minerals that can be sold or used for personal production. However, it is unlikely that new players' skill sets will allow for the efficient use of a refinery, and large portions of the refined minerals will be lost as ‘waste’, so new miners may find it more profitable to sell the raw ore they mine rather than refining it. | Refining (also known as reprocessing in EVE terminology; the two terms are interchangeable) is a miner’s second best friend, the first being powerful mining lasers.

Unfortunately, even with | Unfortunately, even with maximum possible efficiency, you may not receive all the minerals to which you are entitled. The tax man needs his share. The Corporation running the reprocessing station will take up to 5% of the minerals depending on your personal or corporation's standings with the reprocessing station. | ||
In order to reduce the tax level your personal '''OR''' corporation standing with the NPC corporation that owns the station needs to improve.
