== Ore Types ==

The five different classes of moon ores are as follows: ubiquitous, common, uncommon, rare, and exceptional. In addition to the classic minerals that other ores provide, some materials required for T2 construction can only be found in moon ores. Like the normal asteroid ores, moon ores also have basic, improved, and excellent quality types. However, moon ore quality more strongly affects the reprocessed minerals received. The improved ores yield a 15% bonus, while the excellent ores provide a 100% bonus on minerals received through reprocessing. The following table shows the minerals and special materials present in '''''1000 ~~m<sup>3</sup>~~''''' of each moon ore:

===Asteroid Ore===

Moons can contain any type of normal asteroid-belt ore found in High, Low, or Null-security space, regardless of the security of the system the moon is in. The one exception to this is Mercoxit (the only asteroid ore to contain Morphite, used in T2 production) which is not available from moons.

The asteroid ores produced by moons are always of the same quality - 15% - which is higher than that obtainable from asteroid belts. Combined with the fact that even null-sec ores such as Gneiss and Spodumain are available at moons in high-security (0.5) space, makes moon-mining in high sec very lucrative.

===Moon-specific Ore===

The five different classes of moon ores are as follows: ubiquitous, common, uncommon, rare, and exceptional. In addition to the classic minerals that other ores provide, some materials required for T2 construction can only be found in moon ores. Like the normal asteroid ores, moon ores also have basic, improved, and excellent quality types. However, moon ore quality more strongly affects the reprocessed minerals received. The improved ores yield a 15% bonus, while the excellent ores provide a 100% bonus on minerals received through reprocessing.

Unlike with the regular asteroid ores that can be mined from moons, moon-specific ores are often of mixed quality, with the same moon pull containing both regular and improved quality. However there is a chance, at the time of detonating a moon chunk, that there will be a bright blue flash - this has come to be known as a "jackpot" and indicates that the moon ores for that pull will '''''all''''' be of the excellent quality instead.

The following table shows the minerals and special materials present in '''''1000 {{M3}}''''' of each moon ore:
