#Take a Hauler and the secure containers to where you want to mine. Deploy the container about 5000 meters away from any object.

#'''Important''' Right click the GSC, anchor it and then set the password. If you don't do this step your container can be looted and/or will disappear during the next down time.

#Mine securely and pick up later. These containers will disappear ~~after~~ 30 days ~~if not used~~.

#Mine securely and pick up later. These containers will disappear 30 days after the last use..

#Another option how to use GSC is to set up GSC "Nest". Just take your haul 150+ km out of belt, set up GSCs and bookmark their location. Then mine, warp to nest, return and mine again. This remove lost time due to small speeds of mining ships when going to deposit your ore to GSC. Then pick up your ore as usual.

Something that often gets completely missed by rookies is that a Giant Secure Container is larger on the inside than it is on the outside - by 900m3. They are often used in industrial ships to give a bit of a bonus to cargo capacity, although the transported items need to be easily splittable to take full advantage. Ore and/or minerals fit these criteria nicely.
