As their name suggests, these drones [[mining|mine]] [[Asteroids and Ore|ore from asteroids]].

Mining drones will mine the targeted asteroid for one cycle (60 seconds), then return to your ship, drop off the mined ore (into your cargo bay or ore hold), and fly back to the asteroid to continue mining. Since these drones don't have a MWD, they are very slow (about half as fast as heavy combat drones), and therefore it's important to keep your ship as close as possible to the asteroid they are mining, to avoid losing too much time in transit. Training {{sk|Mining Drone Operation|icon=yes}} and {{sk|Drone Interfacing|icon=yes}} improves their mining yield, and training {{sk|Drone Navigation|icon=yes}} increases their speed.

For comparison, a Miner I mining module can mine 40 m3/min of ore. There are no mining drones for [[Gas Cloud Mining|gas]] harvesting.

~~===~~Ice ~~Harvesting Drones===~~

~~These~~ drones [[Ice Mining|gather ice]] from ice asteroids. ~~There~~ are ~~four~~ ice ~~harvesting drone models:~~

Ice harvesting drones [[Ice Mining|gather ice]] from ice asteroids. These drones operate identically to mining drones, except their cycles are longer and they only harvest one unit of ice at a time.

For comparison, an Ice Harvester I module has a cycle time of 220 seconds.
