Mining is the profession of extracting ore from asteroids, ice from ice fields and gas from gas clouds; these materials can then be [[Refining|refined]] into ore/minerals, ice/ice products and Gas Cloud/boosters. These refined substances are used in the production and maintenance of all player created items and structures in EVE, such as ships and modules. It is one of the few professions that is immediately available to beginning players and most EVE industrialists started their careers by mining. Mining is perhaps the second most economically safe profession in EVE, save [[Planetary Interaction]] in [[High Security|highsec]] systems; losing mining ships or being podded is uncommon and minerals are always in demand. In its simplest form, mining can be accomplished by finding an asteroid site in a system and mining its asteroids with mining lasers. | Mining is the profession of extracting ore from asteroids, ice from ice fields and gas from gas clouds; these materials can then be [[Refining|refined]] into ore/minerals, ice/ice products and Gas Cloud/boosters.

All miners are encouraged to join the E-Uni Mining Ops mailing list - you will receive an email when a Fleet Commander has organized a mining op. Many miners in EVE University have come together and organized the [[Amarr Mining Campus]] where newer players are taught the basics of solo and fleet mining; it is highly encouraged that newer players interested in mining attend the campus and contact the organizers involved; all E-UNI members are invited and the campus has been active since March 2012. Also, ask about the campus specific mailing list when you arrive at the location. | ||
