Every member of the AMC is encouraged to join any existing AMC mining operation or to plan an AMC mining operation as a Fleet Commander on their own.  There is no need for special skills to run or join a mining operation.  If you're planning on running a mining operation, you only need a spreadsheet and people to mine, haul, and scout.  Please try to ensure that there is only one organized AMC mining operation at a time.

To participate in a mining fleet you may use any mining capable ship fitted with mining lasers. You can also use any appropriate hauling or boosting ship after consulting the fleet commander. You do not have to bring any specific type of ship but use the most appropriate for your fleet role. If you require a [[Venture]] or [[Mining_Barge#Mining_Barges|Mining Barge]], you can purchase one at a reduced cost.

A BYOC (Bring Your Own Can) mining operation involves an [[Orca]] pilot providing boosts to your mining yield and mining laser range, sometimes also reducing capacitor usage that your mining lasers can be cycled quicker if needed. All BYOC operations are run by volunteer boosting pilots.  It is courteous, though entirely optional, to gift the Orca pilot with a tip as a thank you for the increased yield. Anyone can lead a BYOC, and [[BYOC Boss|being a boss]] is easier than you think.

Shared Can mining operations are organized by a volunteer fleet commander. The fleet commander organizes for boosters and haulers to be available during the operation. Every AMC member can join the mining operation for as long as they wish. After the mining operation, the ore is sold with the [[#AMC Buy-Back|AMC Buy-Back Service]] and divided between the members according to their time spent in-fleet. For information on running a Shared Can fleet, click [[Running AMC Fleets|here]].

For those able or willing to '[[Gas  Cloud Mining|huff gas]]' in [[wormhole]] space, the AMC members often provide opportunities to collaboratively harvest gas from wormhole sites. There are no restrictions on the ships you want to fly in these operations, the ships can range from combat based ships to [[Prospect]]s for better gas mining. These are similar to 'BYOC' operations however boosts may not be available. Gas sites are found via [[AMC_Exploration|exploration near AMC]] and familiarity with the [[WHC_Mapper|mapper]] is very useful.

There is opportunity to mine out asteroids in wormhole space with others in the AMC generally and sometimes the capability of mining ore in a shared can operation with ships provided for the duration of the operation.

During missions or in general, there are sites to mine out in the AMC that have better or other ores than the ones typically found locally. These can be spawned by missions or by running combat sites. There are also sites that spontaneously appear around the local systems which are available to mine. [[Ice_Mining|Ice mining]] is also supported by the AMC and Ice mining related modules are required for profitable ice mining. Coordination for ice mining is often done via AMC [[Slack]].
