Most star systems have several | Virtually every star system in EVE (with the notable exception of Jita) has at least one asteroid belt. Most star systems have several – up to more than a dozen in some cases. These belts are listed on the [[overview]] and the right-click menu, and can have two kinds of geometry: one is a rough semicircle of asteroids, approximately 50 km in diameter, the other being asteroids dispersed over a spherical volume with a radius of about 70 km. A ship warping to an asteroid belt's beacon (through the right-click menu or the overview) will warp to the center of the asteroids. Note that mining lasers have an (unboosted) range of only 10-15 km, so in order to mine asteroids a ship has to fly closer to the belt after warping in. If you want to save on travel time, you can warp to [[Mining#Bookmarks|mining bookmarks]] instead. | ||
A given belt will have a mixture of asteroids containing different ores. The mixture and size of the asteroids (i.e. how much ore each asteroid contains) is determined by the system's location in the EVE universe and its security status (see [[#Asteroid distribution|asteroid distribution]] below). Each asteroid belt contains a finite number of asteroids (which disappear once fully mined), but the asteroids respawn after [[downtime]] if there are no asteroids left. The website [https://evemaps.dotlan.net/ Dotlan] has maps showing the number of belts per system. | A given belt will have a mixture of asteroids containing different ores.

There are different types of asteroid cosmic anomalies, named by what kinds of ores are contained within. Each type comes in several variants (small, medium, average, and large) – the "larger" the anomaly, the more asteroids (and hence the more ore) it contains. A "Small Kernite and Omber Deposit" therefore contains a small number of Kernite and Omber asteroids, while a "Large Bistot Deposit" contains a large number of Bistot asteroids. Different types may have different number of variants. Smaller anomalies tend to contain only base ore variety and larger ones contain all three variaties (base, +5% and +10%). | There are different types of asteroid cosmic anomalies, named by what kinds of ores are contained within.

Highsec does not have ore anomalies, the exceptions being border ores (see [[#Border ores|further]]) and [[Asteroid Belt Remnants]] anomaly in new players spawn areas which contain Veldspar. Lowsec, NPC nullsec, Sovereign nullsec, Wormhole space and Triglavian space all have different types of anomalies. | |||

== Ore variants == | |||
Most asteroid types have two extra subtypes that yield more (+5% / +10%) minerals when [[reprocessing|reprocessed]]; some of the ores have also a +15% subtype. Otherwise they are identical in every way to their base ore, and are found in the same regions, but in lower quantities. For instance, if an asteroid belt has Omber asteroids, it will also have some Silvery Omber asteroids and a few Golden Omber asteroids. If you get the chance, you should always mine the higher-yield variants before mining the base ore. | Most asteroid types have two extra subtypes that yield more (+5% / +10%) minerals when [[reprocessing|reprocessed]]; some of the ores have also a +15% subtype.
